Holly Bertone has an amazing and beautiful story to share. First of all, she is both a breast cancer and Hashimoto’s survivor. She is Founder of Pink Fortitude and the Author of Thriving in the Workforce with Autoimmune Disease, which is also an Amazon Bestseller. Holly has been through so much and had to drastically shift the way she works because of her illnesses. As someone with an autoimmune disease, she is all too familiar with what it was like dealing with coworkers and bosses who simply did not believe you’re sick. Find out more about Holly and her journey on today’s episode.   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *People with autoimmune disease, especially in the workplace, are silently suffering from this. *Holly started her blog as a side hobby while she was diagnosed with breast cancer. *How did Holly first get started along this path? *Holly was 39 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and then she was also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. *Holly really could not do it all. She had to take a step back from her job in order to recover properly. *The universe gives you signs. *What is Holly up to now? *Holly transitioned to a different job and they were not supportive at all over her Hashimoto’s ‘flare ups.’ *Holly felt like a failure. She had to give up on her life’s work and she felt like she let herself and her family down. *When Holly was going through this, she found out there were very few resources for people who have autoimmune disease in the workplace. *How many people are silently suffering everyday just because people don’t believe their illness is real? *What has the response been like as the result of the work, and the book, Holly has done? *If you’re having health challenges, put a financial/career/life plan together. Really think hard to come up with a game plan and work with what you got. *Don’t be afraid to look at your options. There’s a lot more out there than you think. *What advice does Holly have for those just starting out? *Holly had to completely shift how she worked on a daily basis after she was diagnosed with cancer. She couldn’t ‘charge’ at the problems anymore with the energy that she had.   Mentioned in This Episode: MichelleMcGlade.com Pinkfortitude.com Pinkfortitude.com/book-table

Razi Berry is the Co-Founder of Naturopathic Doctor News & Review (NDNR) and Founder of NaturalPath. At 25 years old, Razi was sick and going from doctor to doctor trying to find out why. No one could help and it got so bad that she decided it was time to fire all of them and start fresh… and that’s how she found homeopathy. Razi started NDNR 14 years ago when she was fed up that there wasn’t an official journal showing case studies of how, and why, homeopathy works. On today’s show, Razi discusses the difference between a community and a movement, where she sees the wellness industry going, and why healing happens within yourself.   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *Thank you, Jessica, for your awesome review! *Razi starts her morning every day by hugging a tree in her yard. *Razi used to look at her phone every morning instead and it really set a bad tone for her. *Tree hugging isn’t some ‘woowoo’ thing. There’s actually real science behind this. *Was Razi always like this as a child? How did she get started as a homeopath? *Where does healing really come from? It doesn’t come from the doctor. *Healing happens within. *Why did Razi decide to start NDNR? *With so much information out there, people are very distrustful (and with good reason). It’s more critical than ever to understand what motivates someone into taking action. *Razi is not just creating a community, she’s creating a movement. What’s the difference between creating a community vs. creating a movement? *What’s Razi’s movement about? *Razi discusses some of her fears about Western medicine overtaking traditional/natural medicine. *Razi has a gift for you!! Stay until the end to hear what that is.   Mentioned in This Episode: MichelleMcGlade.com 5 Steps to a Waitlist Wellness Practice NDNR.com Thenatpath.com

We want to ‘fit in.’ *When you start getting haters, that’s when you know you’re doing something right. You are living your authentic self unapologetically. *What is Feng Shui? *Amanda has been doing this for 20 years; she can see everything from financial issues to affairs just by looking at your floor plans.

While I was on vacation, some fears were coming up inside me that I simply could not ignore. What’s the next step for me and my business? I kind of have an idea, but at the same time, I’m not 100% sure. I believe fear has really been the root cause as to what’s been holding me back to get to the next level.

It’s been on my mind a lot lately. *I just got back from my vacation in Costa Rica! *Kevin Breeding wrote a post and it really stuck with me while I was on vacation. *Do you fear you’re going to be a failure? *Do you fear you’re going to be successful? *Are you not fully committed to your practice? *I am struggling with all three of these things. *What’s the next step for me? I don’t really know. *What’s holding me back from getting to the next level? *These fears will not go away.

Today’s guest is Lisa Carpenter! I know she’s such a fan favorite, which is why I’ve had her on the podcast each year. This is Lisa’s third time on the show and you guys just can’t get enough of her. Lisa is launching her very first book, so stay tuned to the end for more info! On the show, Lisa talks about some of the struggles she had while writing her book, trying to find her worthiness in her business, and so, so much more.   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *Lisa has been on the show three times! She’s such a fan favorite. *Lisa has a new book out! Please, please check it out! *Typically, Lisa tries not to work on Monday mornings or on Fridays. *Next-level leaders understand that it’s about working on themselves that’s going to get them results. *The journey, not the results, is the fun part. *Why did Lisa decide to write a book? *Lisa believes you should always ask for help. She definitely couldn’t write this book on her own and is so glad she found someone knowledgeable to help her. *Lisa already had a local following, so when she launched her online business and course, and literally heard crickets, it was discouraging. *The road to passive income is not passive. These things take time. *Lisa was constantly searching for her worthiness in her business, but she realized that her business would never fulfill that hole for her. *How do you want to feel every single day? *Lisa hated asking for help and she knew she had to challenge herself on this. *Stop hiding, stop trying to be a perfectionist, and put your work out into the world. *Have the courage to strip down your personal story, question your beliefs, and allow new information to rise above you. Challenge yourself. *We are unique and smart individuals, but we are avoiding the things that are making us uncomfortable, and this is why we struggle to grow. *Have any questions for Lisa? Feel free to reach out to her! *And don’t forget: Be kind to yourself.   Mentioned in This Episode: MichelleMcGlade.com Annmarie Gianni products Lisacarpenter.ca Lisacarpenter.ca/booklaunch Lisa on Facebook “Let Go of Your Own Personal Flaws | Lisa Carpenter | MTM051” “Let Entrepreneurship Be Easy for You | Lisa Carpenter | MTM087”

On this week’s show, it’s just yours truly! Hello! Over the years of running a business, there’s something that keeps coming up again and again — there’s a process to all of this. Like baking (something I love to do), you don’t just go in blind and throw in a bunch of ingredients together and hope it works. No way. You follow a recipe and the same should be true with your business. Today, I want to introduce to you and announce my Hustle & Flow Framework™. It’s a recipe for your wellness business. I’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years and there’s no reason why you should go in blind and re-create the same mistakes. This is why I’ve built a framework to help you get those dream clients the smart way!   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *I’ve been podcasting for the last 2.5 years! Wow. Time flies! *I try not to re-record something. I believe the first time is the real time. *The cat’s out of the bag. I want to announce the Hustle & Flow Framework™! *After listening to this episode, go to my Facebook page and please, please tell me what your favorite type of cookie is! *I love, love Annmarie Gianni skin care products. *I really enjoy to bake, but I don’t like to cook. Do you have a preference? *I love following the recipes. It’s relaxing and you don’t have to do all the guesswork, which leads to my second point… *When it comes to your business, you gotta follow a recipe! *Don’t reinvent the wheel. *The recipe for success is out there, the only catch is you gotta get out there and do it. *In the Hustle & Flow Framework™, I give you the recipe and help take all that guesswork out! *I learned the hard way through trial and error and there’s no reason why you gotta do the same mistakes too. *You need to hustle to grow your business, there’s no shortcut to that, but you can’t consistently hustle without burning out, which is where flow comes in! *After hundreds and hundreds of client interactions, I know what works and what doesn’t. *Everybody wants to jump directly into the flow and completely skip the hustle part. Doesn’t work that way! *I’m sorry if I sound like a Debbie Downer, but believe me, this is not hard. However, if you’re struggling, you might be following only one section of the recipe and that’s why things aren’t raising for you. *I’m sick of seeing you fail. Don’t overcomplicate it. Just make sure you’re following the full recipe!   Mentioned in This Episode: MichelleMcGlade.com Stay tuned for the Hustle & Flow Framework™ Michelle on Facebook Annmarie Gianni products
