Sometimes life requires us to step back from our businesses — whether it’s motherhood, a big move, or simply needing space to reset. But what happens when you’re ready to return? 

In this episode, Whitney sits down with former WPWS client and dietitian Emily Bown to talk about what it really looks like to pause your business and come back stronger.

Emily shares her story of building a thriving private practice, taking time off for her second baby and a cross-country move, and how that break gave her clarity to pivot into work that feels even more aligned today. From rediscovering her passion for supporting moms to launching new projects like her Mom Brain Renourished podcast, Emily’s journey is a reminder that stepping back isn’t failure, it’s often the reset that fuels growth.

Imagine having your website — plus your sales and marketing system — live and ready in just 8 weeks.

That’s exactly what happens inside The Wellness Pro Website System. In this episode, Whitney walks you through the entire process step by step so you can see how it all comes together.

More than a website, this program gives you the foundation of your marketing and sales system. You’ll walk away with not only a professional site, but also the tools and confidence to keep growing it so your website continues working for you long after launch day.

Whitney also shares how the weekly calls, developer support, and private community make the process easier than going it alone, and why learning these skills now saves you time, money, and endless second-guessing later.

Takeaways

• The four core steps inside the Wellness Pro Website System.
• Why the program goes beyond “just a website” to help you build your sales and marketing foundation.
• What makes a done-with-you approach different from templates or hiring a designer?
• How the week-by-week structure keeps you on track without being overwhelming.
• The support you’ll get along the way (and why you don’t need to have everything figured out before you join).
