In this episode, we spotlight Rachel Hensler, founder of The Aesthetic Portal, for an honest conversation about healing, worthiness, and building a business that reflects who you truly are. After more than a decade in aesthetic medicine and years of pouring everything into her work and motherhood, Rachel reached a moment of deep burnout. A solo retreat in Costa Rica became a turning point, reconnecting her to herself and reshaping how she understands beauty, wellness, and care. What emerged was a vision for something deeper than surface-level aesthetics. Rachel shares her journey as a single mother, a long-time clinician, and a first-time business owner navigating both personal transformation and entrepreneurship. We explore how chronic stress shows up in the body, why inner healing matters just as much as external treatments, and what it looks like to treat the whole person rather than just symptoms. In this conversation, we talk about: Burnout, identity, and returning to yourself The link between nervous-system health and aging Worthiness and how many entrepreneurs tie it to success or revenue Building a values-led business in an image-driven industry Lessons learned from launching a business without prior marketing or tech experience Creating a healing-centered space rooted in authenticity and education Rachel also walks us through the integrative approach behind The Aesthetic Portal, including breathwork, reiki-infused facials, somatic healing, red light therapy, infrared sauna, peptides, and education-focused aesthetic care. If you’re a business owner, healer, or creative who has ever felt disconnected while building something meaningful, this episode offers reflection, grounding, and a reminder that healing and growth are ongoing processes.

Are you struggling to navigate the complexities of the customer journey in today’s rapidly changing business environment? In this enlightening episode of The Business Growth Collective, host Tillman Givens III unpacks the critical elements that shape the customer experience, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the five pivotal components of the customer journey—Awareness, Findability, Reputation, Conversion, and Advocacy—is essential for any business owner looking to thrive in this new landscape.

Tillman begins by discussing the concept of Awareness, the crucial first step where potential customers discover your brand. He emphasizes that in our digital age, social media and a robust online presence are indispensable tools for creating that initial spark of interest.

Are your online listings optimized? Can customers find you when they need you most?

Reputation management is another cornerstone of the customer journey that Tillman highlights. With consumers increasingly relying on online reviews and testimonials to inform their purchasing decisions, maintaining a positive reputation has never been more critical. He shares actionable strategies to enhance your brand's reputation, ensuring that when potential customers look for feedback, they find glowing reviews that encourage them to choose your business.

As we move deeper into the customer journey, Conversion becomes a focal point. Tillman discusses the importance of turning interested customers into paying clients, providing insights on how to create compelling calls to action and streamline the purchasing process. But the journey doesn’t end at Conversion; it evolves into Advocacy, where satisfied customers become enthusiastic brand ambassadors, spreading the word about your business and driving new leads.

Throughout this episode, Tillman offers valuable insights and practical tips designed to help business owners enhance their visibility, engage meaningfully with customers, and ultimately drive sales and revenue. He stresses the importance of collaboration within the entrepreneurial community, encouraging listeners to support one another in their business journeys.
