Many of us have tried traditional mindset strategies, but do you feel they truly help you break free from anxiety? Why or why not? Could embracing vulnerability, in addition to setting boundaries, be the real key to building emotional resilience? What are your thoughts on this approach?

Welcome to another fantastic episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot. We're questioning the usual 'just think positive' advice for mental health. Ever felt that mindset tips seem all fluff? You're not alone!

Mindset coaching often leans on quick fixes like affirmations and rigid boundaries. However, real resilience stems from confronting, not avoiding, our emotions. Today, we'll explore how emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and genuine human connections can foster profound and lasting change.

In this episode, we’ll cover the following topics:

• The dangers of relying solely on positive affirmations for mental resilience

• Why emotional intelligence is the missing piece in traditional coaching models

• How vulnerability can be a platform for personal and professional growth

• The balance between setting boundaries and maintaining meaningful connections

• How unprocessed emotions contribute to anxiety—and how to work through them

At the heart of today’s discussion is a simple but powerful truth: mental strength isn’t about shutting out emotions; it’s about engaging with them in a way that fosters growth and connection. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, clinician, or simply someone looking to improve your mental health, this episode will give you the tools to navigate emotions in a more effective, fulfilling way.

Have you ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels trying to grow your business, but nothing seems to stick? What if the key to long-term success isn’t just marketing and sales but something even more fundamental?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I’m your host, David Bayliff, and as always, I’m thrilled to share with you that today’s episode is inspired by a question from one of our loyal listeners, Kaitlin, who asked: “What are the crucial foundations for a successful business?” Great question, Kaitlin! 

 

Marketing and sales strategies are essential, but before those even come into play, we need to establish a strong foundation. Many business owners rush into growth strategies without taking the time to build a solid base. This leads to struggles, a lack of identity, and, ultimately, stagnation. 

 

In this episode, I’ll cover the following topics with you:

• The importance of building strong business foundations

• The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic ‘why’

• Why clarity in your mission and values matters

• How to build meaningful relationships for business growth

• Common mistakes new business owners make when starting out

 

Building a successful business isn’t just about tactics—it’s about laying the groundwork that will support your growth. When you have clarity on your mission, strong relationships, and a deep understanding of your ‘why,’ everything else falls into place. Take time to reflect on your foundations, and you’ll set yourself up for long-term success.

Are you skipping crucial steps in your business journey without realizing the costly consequences? What would happen if you laid a stronger foundation to build a practice that thrives for years to come?

 

Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm David Bayliff, your host. Today, we're discussing transformative business approaches with guest Sharon Wisnewski, a former Physical Therapist who now thrives as an accountability coach. After two decades in conventional PT, Sharon launched her practice in a CrossFit gym before moving into coaching. She likens business to physical therapy: strong foundations are as crucial in business as stable gait mechanics are in walking. We'll explore how skipping foundational steps in business can lead to frustration and lost opportunities.

 

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• Why foundational steps in business matter more than you think.

• The common pitfalls of skipping steps and how to avoid them.

• How the LaunchPad program helps clinicians clarify their mission and message.

• The psychological barriers that hold business owners back and how to overcome them.

• Real-life success stories of clinicians who transformed their business and confidence through accountability.

 

The journey of building a business is not linear, and skipping steps is a recipe for unnecessary setbacks. Sharon’s message is clear: trust the process, embrace guidance, and focus on clarity in your messaging to build a sustainable and successful practice. Through accountability, humility, and a strong foundation, you can achieve not just growth, but long-term success.
