IMPACT: Recent Episodes
Meghan Walker
Impact is what lives on beyond our daily challenges as an entrepreneur, parent and global citizen. It is the end product of living on purpose, thinking strategically, optimizing your health and committing to an evolving mindset. Impact is possible for all of us.
Join your host, Dr. Meghan Walker, an entrepreneur, author, mother and former Naturopathic Doctor for provocative, progressive and playful weekly conversations that shatter the boundaries of what is possible for your life.
Whether it is a solo session with Meghan, a soulful story, or a profound interview with actionable takeaways, you will leave each conversation inspired and prepared to turn your dreams into impactful creations and opportunities.
Each week we explore topics and speak to world-class experts related to optimal health, mindset, wealth creation, and entrepreneurial tactics. We believe you can have your cake and eat it too. If you are ready to escape hustle culture and build a life on your terms, we’ve got your back. Impact is for women who are ready to pick up the pen and write the unregrettable version of their life’s story.
Brace for Impact.
Today on Impact, Meghan shares her decision to take a sabbatical from the show. In order to take things to a much bigger level of impact, there are things you sometimes need to blindly let go of. Moving to the next level is not about harder work, it's about harder decisions.
Meghan touches on the topic of Ted Lasso, which has become a popular show in her household. Her father is sad that the show is coming to an end and her daughter, a soccer player, has been asking to watch it for the past two years. They decided that she could watch it with them, as it would be a gateway to more mature conversations. Meghan is trying to make decisions that will help them take things to a much bigger level, and let go of things that are tethering them from the full view.
Meghan expresses admiration for the creators of Ted Lasso for ending the show while it was still popular and well-received, rather than trying to milk it for every last bit of revenue. She reflects on how this decision resonates with her own life, and how she has a tendency to stay in situations long after they should have moved on.
Meghan recounts her journey of learning to let go of things and move into a new space while saying no to certain opportunities. Life is less about what you do, more about how you make people feel, and everything about how you choose to show up in the world.

“I find the original core problem that you’re really afraid of, and then I unpack that for you, and I show you that when you actually look at that problem if it happened you would not die, and then there’s an acceptance that takes place when you get there, and you just absorb it.”
-Geeta Sidhu-Robb
“The good girl will never be rich. The good girl will never be happy. The good girl will never have self-respect. The good girl will never have self-love. The good girl will never permeate with lush abundant femininity, because they are directly opposite, so the good girl is never going to be happy, and she doesn’t know how to cope with it, so she tries to make it someone else's fault.”
-Geeta Sidhu-Robb
“The one thing I want everybody to think about is that actually the control to change this is in your hands. It's a hundred percent in your hands. Because if you take responsibility for being appalling, then I want you to take responsibility for the fact that you can change that as well. You must. You can't take responsibility for one and not the other.”
-Geeta Sidhu-Robb
“The fear of these things will not stop bad things happening to you. So if they're gonna happen, why don't you just have control over your own life instead?”

Do you have the tools to navigate sensitive topics with wisdom and discernment? Navigating uncomfortable situations takes foresight and a willingness to accept how your words IMPACT the outcome of each of your engagements.
On this episode of IMPACT, Sam Horn joins us for a second round of linguistic wisdom as she breaks down her framework for navigating difficult conversations from her book: Talking on Eggshells. She teaches you how to pause a situation so that you can interact with wisdom, grace, and presence.
The first thought that pops into your head does not always lead to a positive outcome. Sam shows you how to flip the script and shift from shaming to shaping behavior with critical thinking, personal responsibility, and empathy.
Interrupting communication patterns is hard, but Sam’s framework helps you master proactive grace and conscious language. Sometimes wisdom means knowing what topics are off limits so you can focus on commonalities instead of frivolous conflicts. Sam explains her theory about quicksand conversations and how she sets conversation boundaries to preserve long-lasting relationships.
This episode will help you navigate any conversation with confidence and grace. Join us to discover the power of intentional language!

“As soon as we have contempt, we have no compassion, because we have come to the conclusion that they’re clueless, or that they don’t know what they’re doing, or that they’re stupid, or whatever, and it is the end of compassion and it will lead to conflicts.”

“We're not taught this in school. We're taught math, we're taught history and science, you know, we're taught calculus, you know, are we taught what to say when we don't know what to say?

Are you waiting for your ideal customers to come to you? You probably have a list of expectations of your ideal client, but have you ever asked yourself if you are an ideal provider?
On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan will challenge you to evaluate the standards you have of yourself.
She teaches you that the energy you project is reciprocal. The clients you are currently attracting are a reflection of your own energetic output. If you want to level up your clientele, you need to assess what your ideal clients desire from you. Meghan shows that it is possible to effortlessly manifest opportunities and clients by doing the work within yourself first.
You are capable of raising your energetic capacity, building courage, and becoming the person your ideal clients want. This episode will encourage you to ask the right questions and get to the bottom of who and what you are attracting so that you can expand your own capacity and shift into a better version of yourself.
It’s time to stop looking outward and take a deeper look at the IMPACT your energy has on the world around you. If you are ready to do the work and become your client's ideal provider, do not miss this episode.

Are you stuck in an endless self-destructive pattern? Each of us is on our own spiritual journey, and it takes courage to acknowledge our weaknesses, but once you take ownership of your faults you can break free from the paradigm and forge a new path to your authentic self.
On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan shares about her continued commitment to building her WORTH ethic as discussed previously in episode 311 “Why I Burned Out In 2022 & How I Am Going To Fix It.” Meghan details the shift in her physical and mental well-being after she devoted herself to an honest self-assessment. She learned that you can not free yourself from negative patterns until you acknowledge they exist.
The essential you is worthy, although your ego can prevent you from expressing your authentic self. With each experience, you develop new neural pathways and expectations that shape your worldview and behavior. Without healthy self-awareness, you can get stuck in a negative feedback loop. You can break free from learned behaviors, patterns, and the stories that keep you from stepping into your full power.
Meghan speaks to the power of self-reflection and self-love. You can blame others for how they treat you, but you can only control how you treat yourself. As you build awareness of your inner voice, you can repair negative self-talk to stop cycles of endless negativity and self-doubt. How you treat yourself sets the standard for everyone around you. People instinctually pick up on your behavior, so be kind to yourself, and you may be surprised to find that the world is a loving arena to play in.
This episode offers practical tips and tools for building a positive relationship with oneself, repairing negative self-talk, and breaking free from the paradigms that hold us back. Tune in to hear Meghan's inspiring story and learn how you too can break free from negative patterns.

Kiné Corder
“You’ll need emotional mastery and part of emotional mastery doesn’t mean that you’re good at all the areas of what I call the money cycle, it just means you know which ones are your strengths and which ones you might be challenged with and you work around them.”
Kiné Corder
“I want us to be able to talk about money in a forward momentum capacity while simultaneously honoring the trauma that seems to be triggered when we, when we go there. And the intention here is that we find a way forward so that these two things can move into a state of momentum simultaneously. Because I don't want, I don't want people's progress with respect to money to be shelved while we're unpacking the trauma piece. I actually feel like money can be a catalyst to unpack these components.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“It's really hard to talk about where we could go if we don't acknowledge where we came from.”

“Incredibly triumphant things can come out of the face of trauma.”

“So for me I was like well it already happened and I couldn't control it and I can't control anything else that's ever gonna happen in this life, but I can control myself and I can make a decision on how I'm going to handle this and who I'm going to be afterwards.”
- Jennifer Gilbert
“So I think not having fear about what's going to happen allows you as an entrepreneur to throw your idea out there or to say I'm gonna try it cuz what's the worst that can happen, it won't happen. Okay, well so what else? Try something else.”

How do you earn respect?
We often hide behind credentials, but genuine respect is earned by those bold enough to solve problems, lead with intention, and communicate effectively.
On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan is joined by Sam Horn, an accomplished author of 9 award-winning books, an impactful speaker and expert in powerful language who has coached entrepreneurs all over the world. Sam believe one of the best ways we can disrupt the way we do business is to disrupt the way we communicate and together with Meghan, redefines what it means to be a "powerful leader."
Respect is never demanded, it’s earned. How you communicate outweighs what you are communicating. Every interaction either builds a relationship or undermines it. Proper communication can empower you and your audience.
Can you summarize your vision in 60 seconds? That’s how quickly you lose the attention of your audience! Sam teaches you how to get attention and hold it and how to harness your power through her leadership framework.

"When we have a rising tide mentality, power is just defined as the ability to get things done. And if we want to get things done, then the more we enlist people and cooperate with them and make it a win for them, the more they will want to do this instead of they have to, or they're being paid to or they're being told to."

"Our role and goal in life is to be a peacemaker and to see how we can use language and set an example so other people respond in kind."

“A self-authorized state is the consequence of trusting yourself. Trusting that you are in the right place at the right time. Doing the work so that you have the power, and strength to hold a presence in a particular room. Whether that is across from your client or whether that is in decision-making in your business. This ownership of authority is sometimes something we have not been socialized to have.”

This week on IMPACT, Adele Tevlin is shaking things up with a conversation that may trigger some female entrepreneurs. It's time to stop reacting and start setting boundaries that protect your values.
Are you struggling to express your boundaries? Adele has a powerful message for you. When it comes to contracts, there must be mutual love and respect for each other's non-negotiable values. Adele will shift your understanding of contracts and reveal what happens when you cross boundaries in business.
As a holistic nutritionist and mindset coach for female entrepreneurs, Adele understands the power of contracts as a sacred tool that upholds a code of conduct, even when emotions run high.

By formulating a contract that protects your values, you can avoid toxic behaviors like manipulation and aggression with your associates. Setting boundaries is an act of love for yourself and those who enter into a contract with you.

“When a woman is in her healthy feminine, she’s powerful. When she’s in her divine feminine, she’s grounded, she’s powerful, she’s full of integrity, she’s in her most mature state, but when a woman is in her fractured feminine, and she’s got her back against the wall or she’s triggered, she goes into things like being a victim. She goes into behaviors like manipulation.”
Adele Tevlin
“It’s all unicorns and rainbows when you’re happy, but the minute something goes wrong, all of us are primordial minds that will go into defensiveness or reaction, so intelligence is actually low. The contract is there to serve as that sacred template, no matter what the circumstances are.”
Adele Tevlin
"Boundaries are compassionate. Boundaries are an act of love. Boundaries are a communion between two people that says, "I respect you, you respect me."

“What am I telling my consciousness if I don't uphold my contract? My contract means nothing. And for me, my word is law.”

"When we can heal collectively as women we have the power to really change not just the world but the fabric of how women do business together and the impact that we can have.”

"Most people operate their business with standards rather than boundaries."

"There's a part two of this conversation which is how to have difficult conversations cuz we're not good at that. So I think sometimes we resort to manipulation because it saves us from having to have a challenging conversation. And in our own mind it reconciles the situation to make it the other person’s fault.”

Debt is not the enemy. It's not bad to owe money. You can look at debt as an investment. If you take on debt because it's an investment in yourself or in your business that should be looked at as a very healthy thing. That is a resource that we have a privilege to have, but we shouldn't make the loan the bad guy.
-Mary Shores
“It can feel like someone has taken advantage of us. It can feel all different kinds of ways, but I think we don’t talk about it, and what we really need to do is have solutions in place, understand this as a business function and a business role, make plans for it accordingly, but more importantly, learn to let go of it!”
-Mary Shores
“When you talk to someone, you're asking them questions, you’re getting them to open up. You’re getting them to discuss the emotions of it, and what we know from social psychologists is that discussing the emotions behind a feeling helps those feelings dissipate.”

"There's a deep shame associated with owing money."

You officially have permission to be lazy! Yes, you read that right. On this episode of IMPACT, we scientifically dismantle the myth that hard work yields the best results and teach you how to optimize your human potential! This week’s guest is the father of biohacking, Dave Asprey. With the help of his revolutionary time-saving approach to health, he has authored 4 New York Times best-selling books and is well on his way to his fifth with his latest book Smarter Not Harder!
If you want to maximize your IMPACT, Asprey’s protocol will eliminate hours of unnecessary work and will actually make you more productive than ever. As an entrepreneur, your time is valuable, and fighting your body's natural propensity for laziness is actually hindering you in the long run.
The harder you push yourself, the deeper your body goes into survival mode rendering your vigorous exercise and perfect diet useless. Your body cannot distinguish exercise from survival stress, so those intense workouts convince your body that your life is at stake. Asprey teaches you how to quickly trick your operating system into fight or flight mode and then efficiently reset back into rest and recovery. This quick transition mimics the body's natural rhythm of short bursts of high stress balanced by long-lasting laziness. You really only need a 5-minute exercise a few times a week to produce the best results possible!
Imagine all that you can achieve with all that extra time available to you! In this episode, Dave Asprey, is true to his word and teaches you how to work Smarter Not Harder!
Listen now and get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity.

“First thing I would've said would be to understand that people actually want to help you and when you let them help you, you are performing an active service.

“There is no one who wants to be healthy as their first thing except people who are incredibly sick like I was when I had chronic fatigue. When you can’t get out of bed because you’re sick, when you think you might die, that’s when you want your health back.”

“When you really learn how to manifest what you’re doing is, you’re interfacing with your operating system and you’re getting in alignment and you’re telling it that it is safe and should expect to see something, and when it expects to see something, it will see it and when it sees it, it’s real.”

“Your immune cells the mast cells, they’re looking for potential threats and when they find one they explode and release all sorts of mitochondrial signaling molecules called inflammatory cytokines, so if you were to just look at mast cells and look at mitochondrial function, you would solve about 90% of what’s going on in medicine.”

The age of transactional care is coming to an end! Artificial Intelligence is disrupting every industry and medicine is no exception. On this episode of IMPACT, host Dr. Meghan Walker tested this theory and asked ChatGPT to create a plan for menopausal women and it formulated a program that could easily replace the first 4 visits with most doctors. What does this mean for care providers? It means that you need to provide more than just the essentials, you need to provide transformational care!
You won’t help people by lowering costs, if you want to truly help your patients you need to innovate what you offer. Creating a signature system in your clinical practice, not only helps your patients but also future proofs your business against AI innovations.
Meghan maps out how to design a transformational care plan using her A.C.T.I.O.N framework, just 6 steps that will take your practice to a whole new level to attract clients and keep them. To provide life changing care, you need to be specific about exactly who you intend to transform and how you’re going to do it. Serving everyone usually serves no one, so commiting to a niche is an important step in crafting your signature system.
By stepping outside the norms of care, you will set yourself apart from practitioners who are strictly transactional. Creating a system aimed at transformation gives patients emotional support, resources and a deeper understanding of what is happening in their own body.
Want to take this A.C.T.I.O.N framework, break it down to the granular level and build out your signature approach to care? Then join Meghan on March 9th at her Signature Care System Implementation Lab. By the end of the day, you'll have gotten actual work done to create a unique care plan that will attract clients, add another barrier between yourself and a technology like ChatGPT, future-proof your business, and move it away from a series of transactions and into a transformational experience.
Listen to this week’s episode and register for The Signature Care System Implementation Lab with Dr. Meghan Walker on March 9th from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m EST at signaturesystem.biz.
Let’s set a new standard for care and take your business to a whole new level!

MEMORABLE QUOTES
“This is not because I am sitting her with massive amounts of data and evidence that your particular industry, medical practitioners, naturopathic doctors, functional medicine docs, TCM practitioners, all of you are necessarily going to be threatened by this but I can say it is likely to disrupt what you are doing.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“When you are delivering a transformational experience, when you design your own signature care system, you create another barrier between yourself and a technology like ChatGPT.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“When you’re designing out transformation and you are delivering it as the strategist, I want you to think of it as a hat. Any clinician can wear any type of hat. It’s the strategist who earns the most because it’s the strategist who has the most responsibility. It’s the strategist who designs and refines the transformational process.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“For patients, when they can get a more comprehensive, insightful understanding of what’s happening in their body, it significantly elevates compliance.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I want to examine this topic from a really objective place because I think one of the thinking traps we could move into on this is that, oh, I've got time because I'm in one of these impenetrable vocations that's not necessarily gonna be on the first target hit list for artificial intelligence.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“One of the cool things that we see when we move someone from a transactional system of care to a transformational system of care is we actually see those patients and those practitioners working with one another three times longer. There is a financial benefit to that because you are interacting with that patient three times longer.”

Do you feel disempowered by your assumptions around money? This week on IMPACT, Dr. Meghan Walker is busting the money myths and mindset mistakes that are dictating your relationship with money so you can break free from limiting beliefs and take control of your financial future.
Throughout the episode, Meghan breaks down the four levels of her money mindset framework, so you can assess where you are in your relationship with money. Building your future state begins with being ruthlessly honest and truly acknowledging where you are and where you would like to be. Once you know what level you’re playing at, you can adjust your mindset and take on a new course of action to change the trajectory of your finances.
Your parents' attitude towards finances, your past financial blunders, and your expectation around money heavily influence your beliefs of what is financially possible. This is why Meghan also breaks down the 7 tools you need to shift your relationship with money into a higher vibration to toss aside your limiting beliefs and grab hold of the financial situation you desire.
And what if we treated and committed to our relationship with money the way we do our other relationships? Then what might be possible?
Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

“When it comes to achieving a future outcome, losing weight, building wealth; the part of our brain that protects us from putting in too much effort only to be disappointed, it is fully lit up in both of these paths.”

“Shift the mindset pieces, so that you are open to making different decisions, and when you make different decisions and align them with different actions, you get a different outcome. That’s just the way building a future state works.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“The more we say “I'm not like them”, without actually understanding what they are like, we encase ourselves in the energy of the work, win windfall vibration, and it is a vibration and it’s a very disempowering vibration frankly, because you have no control of your financial destiny.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you don't believe your actions are actually going to warrant any kind of outcome for you, you're not gonna take them in the first place. And so we have to shift that belief system and to shift that belief system, what we really need to do is we have to lift the veil on the story.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“The core thinking trap that defines that “win work windfall” level is that money comes from other sources, money comes from work, money comes because I want it in a lottery or money comes because I inherited it. And if those things don't happen for you, it's like you just can't see that there are any other ways that money may come into your life.”

Get ready for a game changing episode of IMPACT! You’ve certainly never heard an episode like this before.
This is for two reasons.
One, because host Dr. Meghan Walker drops powerful truths about entrepreneurship and reflects on her own experience with burnout at the end of 2022. Meghan loves her work and this feeling of burn out was not a result of work overload. It was actually the result of client relations that had failed to honor their sacred contract. After some self reflection, Meghan realized she was stuck in self created resentment because she failed to set and uphold her own boundaries. She was taking ownership of others' emotional issues which prevented them from following through on their agreed upon financial responsibilities. By allowing others to negate their own commitments, she denied them and herself the opportunity to grow.
A much needed break over Christmas and the New Year resulted in the perfect time to recognize that leading to the next level meant setting clear boundaries and by holding people accountable to their commitments she was elevating how they operate in the world of business.
And two, because Meghan sets the stage for the trajectory of the podcast in 2023. And it’s massive. It’s exciting. And it is definitely going to lead to major IMPACT.
Meghan has committed to focusing on the concept of a "worth ethic" - the activities, commitments, and decisions that elevate our value as leaders and help us avoid burnout. That expands our capacity for contribution, for vision and where we can go next. And so this year, the content of the IMPACT podcast is going to focus exactly on this!
Meghan will pursue ideas that take us to the fringe, explore concepts that might make you feel uncomfortable and discuss topics that in an instant are going to shed from you, the stories and the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back.
Follow along with the IMPACT podcast and you can expect to master your worth ethic and thrive as a leader in 2023!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
[2:30] For the first time Meghan experienced burnout. She had nothing left in her and felt unmotivated

MEMORABLE QUOTES
“Resentment, for me, was always accompanied by having poor boundaries in a particular area. When I become resentful of someone or a situation it is usually because I was not clear in articulating or because I didn't know what my boundaries were at any given moment.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I was witnessing, in real time, how I was enabling other people to sabotage their own commitments, with respect to money, and I too was acting out a pattern that I had become familiar with in my own life.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I was just sort of in denial. I was in denial of acknowledging it. I was in denial of how I was gonna have to address it. And then even as I turned on my mic to record this, I was in denial of having to admit it to my listeners.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I am an empathetic person and I am an empathetic person with boundaries in progress.And one of the things I realized I was consistently doing is I was taking ownership for what was happening in their emotional state and the way I was taking ownership of it, which is really none of my business to do, and not part of what my sacred contract with these clients is all about. I was letting people off the hook for having to pay and follow up.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“It also enabled me to get really clear on this idea of a sacred contract. This idea that when you engage in business with someone or you make a commitment to someone, that you give them your word. And when you give someone your word more than checking that box in the terms of conditions or any other pieces, this is a reflection of your integrity and your brand.”

Join host Dr. Meghan Walker on this week's episode of IMPACT as she sits down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, a world-renowned speaker on grit and resilience, co-founder of the Dharma Coaching Institute and co-founder of Global Grit Institute, a mental-health training platform for leaders. Together, they explore the importance of facing our negative emotions head-on, instead of hiding them away as we strive for success.
As high-achievers, we often want to hide our emotions and push them away as we strive for the next level of success. However, this is an unhealthy way to deal with negative emotions, and it can ultimately take a toll on our psyche, well-being, and even our sense of self-respect and self-worth.
In this powerful and inspiring conversation, Dr. Bhushan provides valuable strategies for dealing with negative emotions and overcoming challenges. She explains that it's important to feel the emotions, identify the limiting beliefs and then reframe the stories in our heads to learn from our mistakes, setbacks, and failures. By facing our negative emotions head-on, we can turn them into opportunities for growth and cultivate the mindset of a resilient person.
Dr. Bhushan also shares her personal journey and the insights she gained from her own experiences, including the lessons she learned from writing her latest book, "That Sucked, Now What?".
Tune in to IMPACT and discover the secrets to turning challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.

Unleash your inner power and with host Meghan Walker as she dives into the world of female leadership, financial health, and wealth on this week's episode of IMPACT! Meghan sits down with three accomplished women: Mary Shores, Adele Tevlin, and April Stroink who share their insights on how to embrace your feminine energy, overcome confidence gaps, and cultivate self-love to achieve financial and personal success.
As women leaders, it's essential for us to embrace our feminine energy, not just our masculine energy. This means leading from a place of empowerment using collaboration, empathy, and compassion. This can be difficult to do when we're surrounded by men in similar roles, but cultivating self-love and a sense of abundance is crucial when it comes to our ability to achieve our goals.
The discussion also touches on the importance of keeping emotion out of money decisions and realizing that health and wealth go hand in hand. Financial health is one of the pillars of our overall health, and when we're successful financially and have a healthy relationship with money, we're able to serve people in our communities and have a greater impact.
This week's episode of IMPACT is a must-listen for any woman looking to improve her leadership skills, achieve financial success, and build a healthy mindset. Don't miss out on this valuable conversation and tune in now to benefit from the wisdom and experiences of these powerhouse leaders.

“Part of being a female leader is about balance. When you self care, mentally, emotionally, and physically you actually expand your capacity for all the pieces. That is why it is a limiting belief, ladies, that you don’t have time for yourself. The secret to being able to do more is actually to do more for yourself.”

“There's a part of your brain that when you visualize, it's actually using the same neural networks as if you are actually practicing it. So visualization is key.

This week’s episode of IMPACT is one for the books! It combines interviews with two of Meghan Walker’s previous guests whose insight and knowledge surrounding mindset and self-authorization is astounding.
Dr. Shyamala Kiru, a registered psychotherapist and family and couple therapist works in particular with high-performing, high achieving women and mothers who are juggling multiple roles and identities. She discusses with Meghan that to navigate our relationships and improve our quality of life we must master our ability to communicate assertively. When each person in a relationship is responsive and not reactive, where they can make choices from an informed and self-regulated place, the relationship will thrive. When we access our emotional intelligence we have the capacity for incredible impact.
David Bayer, a motivational coach, digital entrepreneur and author of MindHack.com is one of the emerging thought leaders in the evolution of mindset. He believes that using your mind to rewire and reorganize the brain is the linchpin of human evolution. There are two states of being – powerful and primal. Powerful states include happiness, joy, calm and curiosity. Stress, anxiety, overwhelm and fear being primal states. If we give ourselves permission to feel good enough, then we exist in the powerful state. The fears diminish and happiness and abundance rule, giving us the opportunity to have a greater impact in the world. Live in your joy, calm and peace to have that powerful living experience.
We need to identify the things we can control and the things we can’t, and take radical responsibility for our own happiness and mindset. The journey is about knowing yourself at a deeper level and removing the resistance that’s there in the form of thinking so that you can decide to do something new moving forward.
Appropriately enough, what each conversation boils down to is that self-authorization and a healthy mindset leave room for impact. If you’re ready to see the lies in the untruth that you've been telling yourself then this is an episode you cannot afford to miss.
Tune in now and get ready to take responsibility for your mindset and happiness!

“I have seen time and time again the correlation between our ability to really master our mindset, our ability to communicate assertively or communicate with confidence and how that really feeds into our ability to navigate our relationships well.”

“We are focused on helping as many people in their personal suffering as possible so that we can collectively create the future of the world that we all share.”
David Bayer
“This next evolution of personal growth, which is defined as utilizing the mind to rewire and reorganize the brain, is the linchpin of the evolution of the entire human species.”
David Bayer
“When we're in rest and reconnection and recharging, that's when we're connected to inspiration and creativity and flow states and an intelligence that is greater than ourselves.”
David Bayer
“The only two things we can control are what we think and what we do.”
Dr. Shyamala Kiru
“When we look at the couple's system, it is actually strongest when each individual is executing at their fullest potential. So when each individual partner is executing in a way where they have a hold of their mindset, where they're really able to be responsive and not reactive, where they're really able to make choices from an informed and self-regulated place, that is when relationships are at their strongest.”
Dr. Shyamala Kiru
“In my opinion, we can't talk about relationship strategies, whether it's parenting or whether it's around intimacy, unless we talk about the mindset piece.”
Dr. Shyamala Kiru
“We need to take radical responsibility for our mindset and own happiness because if we don’t do that we can’t be there for our kids, we can’t navigate our relationships and we certainly can’t show up as our professional selves.”
Dr. Shyamala Kiru
“Your thoughts are an extension of your core beliefs. And then you experience those thoughts as feelings. So your beliefs produce your thoughts, your thoughts you experience as feelings. Those feelings motivate or demotivate action or activity. And the action and activity produce results. And then those results reinforce the core belief. And so this is referred to as a psycho cybernetic loop.”
David Bayer
“That whole journey is about coming to know thyself at a deeper level and removing any of the resistance that's there in the form of thinking and seeing the lies in the untruth that you've been telling yourself while knowing that you can decide something new moving forward.”

On this week's episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker explores the intersection of sexuality and inner wisdom with guests Katrina Bos and Susan Bratton. Together they discuss how embracing your passion and authenticity can lead to greater success in all areas of your life.
Sexuality is an integral part of our lives. It fuels our bodies, businesses, and creativity. Susan Bratton, an expert on how to reclaim our relationship with out own sexuality, emphasizes the importance of slowing down and planning dates for lovemaking and erotic play in order to achieve sexual fulfillment, especially as we age and may experience challenges like vaginal lubrication issues, loss of sensation, and incontinence. Bratton believes that by embracing and prioritizing our sexuality, we can tap into a deeper level of passion, creativity and focus.
Renowned author, Katrina Bos, reminds us that the only thing of value we have is time, and not to waste it. She advises trusting in a greater consciousness and not letting our brains make all the decisions, and encourages finding a spiritual foundation and redefining one's life according to one's own truth. Bos believes that by embracing our inner wisdom and authenticity, we can create a more harmonious and radiant life, not just for ourselves, but for those around us.
With insights from both Bratton and Bos, this week's episode of IMPACT is sure to inspire and empower women to reclaim their sexuality and tap into their inner wisdom in order to live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Are you tired of feeling held back by negative emotions and limiting beliefs? It's time to take control of your mindset and emotions and live a life you love!This week on IMPACT, we've got just the guests to help you do that! Meghan Walker sits down with the dynamic duo of Dr. Joan Rosenberg and Susan Hobson.
Dr. Rosenberg is a world-renowned psychologist, consultant, and media expert who knows a thing or two about achieving a life you love. Her book, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love, is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing. And Susan Hobson? She's a neuro-linguistic programming coach who works with top executives, athletes, and other high achievers to help them break through their mental barriers.
Confidence is crucial when it comes to building a strong foundation of self and getting past imposter syndrome. But true confidence isn't about trying to be perfect or competing with others. It's about knowing your own limits, showing up, and doing the best you can at any age and stage of life. It's about knowing your worth and the value you bring to the table.
So how do you build confidence? By cultivating self-awareness, not avoidance. When you're faced with negative emotions, it's important to name them and allow them to pass. Most feelings only last 90 seconds, so don't let them hold you back. And when you lean into your feelings, you can gain valuable insights and use them to make better decisions or take action.
But it's not just about managing your emotions. You also need to examine the root of your limiting beliefs and identify where critical self-talk is coming from. By confronting these beliefs and challenging them, you can navigate around them and open yourself up to new possibilities.
A change in thinking can have a big impact, and self-awareness and clarity on your values are key to being true to yourself and performing at your best. So don't miss this episode of Impact with Dr. Joan Rosenberg and Susan Hobson – start mastering your mindset and emotions today!

On this week's episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker is joined by two experts in women's health - Dr. Stephanie Estima, a chiropractor and expert in functional neurology, and Dr. Anna Cabeca, a world-renowned, triple-board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who helps women transition through the various hormonal phases of their lives. Meghan’s guests share their insights on navigating the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause.
Dr. Estima discusses the role of the ketogenic diet in supporting brain function and reducing inflammation during these stages of life. She notes that the effectiveness of the keto diet can vary for women compared to men, and that it's important to individualize the approach.
Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of women taking control of their own health and being proactive in understanding their bodies and how to support their well-being. She advises women to be mindful of their diet, particularly avoiding excess carbohydrates which have been linked to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Instead, she recommends focusing on whole foods, incorporating plenty of greens, and limiting processed and sugary foods. Dr. Cabeca also advocates for detoxification and intermittent fasting, as well as getting enough sleep and incorporating flexibility into daily routines.
In addition to diet and self-care, the importance of checking urine pH as an indicator of overall health and well-being is emphasized, as well as eating small, early dinners before 7 pm to support longevity. Starting each day with gratitude, prayer, or meditation will set a positive foundation for a day of clarity and focus.
Overall, Dr. Cabeca and Dr. Estima emphasize the importance of taking a holistic approach to supporting the body's natural desire for homeostasis, balance, and health during perimenopause and menopause. By taking control of our own health and being proactive in understanding and supporting our bodies, we can better navigate these stages of life and maintain optimal well-being.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker is joined by two guests -- John Jackson who works for Hustle 2.0, an organization that helps people who are incarcerated in the U.S. through holistic rehabilitation, and Sammy Taggett, entrepreneurial wizard and founder of Evolved Podcasting.
Sammy Taggett began his entrepreneurial journey in humble beginnings, starting out as a door-to-door salesperson and even working as a mint-and-napkin guy in a nightclub bathroom. It was in this unlikely setting that he seized the opportunity to become a DJ and learn about inspiring and educating people as an entrepreneur. According to Sammy, one key to success is finding your "zone" and building a supportive team around you. He also stresses the importance of having big dreams, having fun, and seeking out supportive individuals.
John Jackson, on the other hand, had a difficult upbringing. His mother was murdered at a young age, and he ended up living with his aunt, a drug dealer. In order to save her from incarceration, John took the rap for her and spent many years in prison as a gang member. After being released, he now helps younger people who have been in prison by teaching them leadership, resilience, and determination, leading them down a path of positivity and purpose.
Despite their different backgrounds, both Sammy and John are inspiring examples of how to turn difficult circumstances into a new and better life through self-belief and a focus on the possibilities around them.
Don't miss this empowering episode filled with insights and lessons on how to turn challenges into opportunities. Enjoy listening!

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker wraps up The Future Of Health series by laying out the upcoming 2023 leading trends in healthcare and wellness from the Global Wellness Institute.
One trend will be increasing connections between our own health and the health and diversity of our environment. The second trend is around technological wellness and the effect of blue light from our devices. More conversations about how technology needs to be managed will be necessary as we move closer to optimal states of wellness.
We will also see more innovations in independent living and home care for seniors to maintain and prolong their quality of life. Wellness travel will also become more popular, incorporating activities like meditation for deep emotional and physical healing along with adventure travel.
A revolution in women’s health will be another big trend, especially with the use of artificial intelligence to make decisions about the specific needs and nature of women. And urban bathhouses and wellness playgrounds will become more popular as community centers, instead of local bars, for example.
Another trend will be health coaching, where we can use a health coach to hold us accountable for our health and wellness. And count on the metaverse – the digital world – to transform our healthcare practices through sharing of information and strategies that can be brought back to the real world.
IMPACT medicine and the delivery of care and health optimization will be a major trend in developing eco-systems of possibility for clinicians to help people take their health to the next level.
This Future Of Health series wrap up episode contains advantageous information about the trends that will start to shift health care globally over the next 12–18 months. We can all benefit from the detail included in this episode about these trends so take a listen and be prepared for the Future of Health!

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we’re joined by Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, entrepreneur and an expert on handling grief. She is also the author of Touching Two Worlds about the duality of joy and grief.
All of us experience pain and grief at some point in our lives because it’s a very normal and important part of human relationships and human emotion. But some of us get stuck in grief and hold trauma in our bodies, especially entrepreneurs and high performers who seldom slow down.
Grief is not linear – it may go away for a while and then months later, resurface in a different way. Grief can show itself through anger, anguish, sadness, and stillness. But it can also be fuel, passion and the determination to change something or advocate for a cause. This is all part of the grief process.
It’s important to tell stories of loved ones who have passed on to share the reality of grief. The deeper work of grief is internal storytelling so that the role of that person in your life doesn’t get glossed over.
The holidays are a great time to acknowledge the joy a loved one brought while honoring their memory with family, children, and friends.
This episode is special. It is for everyone. There are things that we are ALL going to experience in our lifetime… and grief is one of them.
Grief is complicated but giving space for all that comes with grief is important. What does this involve? Listen to this week’s episode to learn more.

“Grief is a very normal part of human relationship and human emotion, and one that has all of these sort of riches and depths instead of like an ailment that needs to be treated.”
- Dr. Sherry Walling
“Integrating the body and movement into a course of working through grief is now absolutely central to how I think about what humans need when they're grieving.”
- Dr. Sherry Walling
“The unique thing about helping entrepreneurs or high performers grieve is that we're really good at not grieving. Our lives are really full, so it's very, very difficult for us to give the time and space to grief that it may warrant.”
- Dr. Sherry Walling
“The deeper work of grief is the remembering. It is the storytelling internally so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get sort of glossed over.”
- Dr. Sherry Walling
“I also think this idea of grief as sadness is not super helpful because grief is many, many things. It can be anger, it can be anguish, it can be sadness, it can be stillness, but it can also be fuel, it can also be passion. It can be the determination to change something, fix something, advocate for something that's all part of a grief process. And so I think grief can be fiery as much as it can be blue. And so giving space to all the parts of grief I think is really helpful.”
- Dr. Sherry Walling
The Future Of Health series continues on IMPACT with guest Harry Massey, a forward-thinking bioenergetic researcher who owns several companies that build bioenergetic tools to quantify what’s happening in the energetic field.
Massey talks with Dr. Meghan Walker about some of the ways energy can be leveraged for healing and prevention to create a higher quality of living in the future. His efforts were born out of severe disability in his twenties after climbing accidents, which built up toxins and autoimmune viruses in his body.
After that, he and a colleague mapped out the energy and information of the human body field as an energetic control system, to see how energy works within different tissues and cells. Ideas from physics were also combined with alternative holistic medicine.
The body acts on two systems – the chemical system and the communication system, which is instantaneous. 70 trillion cells in the body are operating in their own function every single second. How can this help your health? Information can be directly inputted into your operating system so get different tissues and cells to respond in certain ways to improve their condition.
Environment also plays a huge role and Massey believes that 90% of your health outcome is your environment, not genetics. Massey’s company, NES Health, has created a Biogen Wellness System where you can basically scan the energy of your organs through your different meridians and mind-body connection and then recommend pharmaceuticals that will trigger a healing response for injuries and pain.
Emotions play a significant role as well – with gratitude, intention, surrender and trust being paramount in your daily practice. The more you’re in those heart-centered states, the more the universe will respond to your intentions.
Harry Massey is such a proponent of the future of health and this fascinating conversation provides valuable information about bioenergetics. It offers lots to consider. Take a listen!

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Dr. Meghan Walker is joined by Dr. Sachin Patel, an innovative leader in functional medicine, founder of the Living Proof Institute and author of the best-selling book, Perfect Practice. He believes that every patient can become their own doctor to help heal themselves.
So many of the poor health conditions and diseases that people face today are preventable, but most people just don’t know the basics of preventive care and good health. With the right tools and capacity for empowerment, patients can have a role in reversing the symptoms of disease themselves.
Dr. Patel believes the things that are sabotaging people’s health are not detectable through lab tests. They are things like relationships, the lighting in their home, their lack of connection with nature, not knowing how to breathe intentionally and not getting enough restful sleep. It’s important to recognize the factors that are making you unhealthy so that you can turn them around and find solutions.
It all comes down to wearable technology where patients can see how they’re getting better and increase their own self-awareness and positive reinforcement. And doctors can coach their patients better by looking at the data from the technology. Patients love it because now they’re being held accountable, and doctors love it because they have more data points to work with and show the power of what they do.
Wearable technology can help in reducing weight and pain, hypertension, diabetes and so much more. It’s also important to learn how to breathe intentionally, realign your circadian rhythms and get restful deep sleep. Taking care of the body in these ways leads to transformational change, not just in your physical journey but also in your mental and emotional journey.
Enjoy listening to this episode which leaves you with so much to consider.

On this week’s episode of Impact, we’re joined by Kristi Holt, the CEO and founder of Vibeonix, a company that quantifies voices to give us insight into emotional intelligence, using AI and data points.
Analyzing your voice frequencies helps to make you aware of where you are emotionally so you can change it in the future. Vibeonix has created a unique algorithm to help users not just understand emotional intelligence but actually improve it and apply it to daily life.
It works by measuring resonance, tone and intonation in the voice, as well as the frequency of what is carrying the information. With this knowledge, we can start predicting emotional patterns, therefore predicting different diseases in the body to prevent it from ever happening.
This technology is all about being more aware and smarter about ourselves as human beings to bring us back to ourselves. From that space, we can create anything -- we can heal and empower ourselves to embody who we want to be.

“When I heard that your voice is literally carrying the resonance of your energy systems inside of you, it was a mind blow for me, and something so profound told me that this was real.”
“Our goal as a company, and this is what aligns with my values most, is to reflect it back to the users. so users can understand their emotional intelligence, see it, quantify it, and improve it.”
“We can measure emotional intelligence through resonance in the body and then how the body is projecting that resonance.”
“Tone and intonation is part of it, but it's so much more than that.
We're measuring the frequency, and frequency is what carries information. We are also able to measure how much control you have and how much you're actually expressing emotion.”
“We can start looking at the body and find correlation to the voice, to the emotion, then we'll be able to start predicting emotional patterns, therefore predicting different disease in the body.”
“I think technology's going to help us remember the power within.”
“Why I love emotional intelligence is it brings you back to you. And then from that space you can create anything. You can heal, you can empower, you embody.”
Welcome to another episode from “The Future of Health” series. This series will explore and discuss new ideas on the horizon in the healthcare industry. Energetic medicine is the focus of this week’s episode as Meghan is joined by Dr. Jesse Pierce, a licensed naturopathic doctor who uses frequencies to treat complex chronic illness. Meghan and Jessie discuss how we are bombarded by frequencies daily and how this influences the electromagnetics of our cells in negative and positive ways.
A frequency is something you can’t see; it’s basically the rate at which sound or current is produced and registered in the body. We have frequencies running through our bodies constantly. By improving the body’s energetic frequency, we can help our bodies heal from a multitude of problems and calm inflammation.
Frequencies are delivered by sound, in water or through current that runs through the body to help it heal. Acupressure is one way to tap into those frequencies. By inserting small needles, the energy in certain meridians can be moved and blockages cleared.
Dr. Pierce also uses a tiny box with wires attached that sends out specific microcurrents. This can help shift the brain from trauma or shift the body from inflammation stemming from mold, Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions and more. Such microcurrents can also reset our genetics to improve how well our body can function over time.
Frequency medicine is additionally used to treat acute injuries and physical pain. It can aid in anxiety and depression, fatigue, fibromyalgia and even weight loss. The more we feel healthy, aligned and balanced on an energetic level, the better off we all are.
Energetic medicine is the new frontier in healing. Listen to this week’s episode to learn why!

Food really is medicine, but sometimes staying away from food is even more healing. That’s the idea behind intermittent fasting. In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and internationally known women’s health expert whose TEDx Talk has received more than 10 million views.
Intermittent fasting is eating within a prescribed time period, and not eating within another prescribed time period. Why does it matter? It has to do with our metabolism. Metabolic flexibility is critically important to our health, and intermittent fasting promotes such flexibility by allowing your body to be more effective at using different types of fuel. Chronically overfeeding the body is what contributes to metabolic disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, infertility issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and so much more.
Fasting improves our insulin sensitivity so our bodies can access stored fat as a fuel source instead of stored sugar. And when we're using fat as a fuel source, we don't get hungry in between meals and we’re able to lose weight much more easily. It also allows our body to get rid of diseased and disordered cells, like taking out the garbage.
Many women who do intermittent fasting also are able to come off blood pressure and diabetes medications. They have fewer digestive issues, less bloating and more regular bowel movements. It can also help to lower the risk for certain types of cancers, dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Our bodies are designed to be challenged, so it’s important to make changes as you get older. Intermittent fasting can be one of those changes to keep your body healthy and optimal.
Cynthia Thurlow is so conversant with the topic of intermittent fasting and there is much to take in from this episode. So have a listen and learn more!

What does thinking like an entrepreneur mean?
In this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan unpacks this very question with her guest Kelsey Abbott, a serial entrepreneur and triathlete who is unapologetically invested in helping people unlock their true potential.
Meghan and Kelsey discuss the mechanisms of thinking that define us as entrepreneurs which brings us to the final episode of this series and the final letter of the IMPACT acronym, the ‘T’, which stands for thinking like an entrepreneur.
Meghan and Kelsey believe one of the best qualities of an entrepreneur is being decisive and grabbing on to an opportunity when it presents itself. However, they stress that the “how” is really less important than having the clarity of what you want to attract as an entrepreneur. Life can unfold almost magically if you set your intention on your entrepreneurial goals.
The foundation of your business is you, so you have to take care of your physical, mental and spiritual self first to be able to help others. Make yourself available to others because entrepreneurs don’t meet their clients sitting at desks; they meet them when they’re out in the world being their best selves.
Get rid of your negative thought habits and the story you’ve been telling yourself. Picture your ideal clients and go after them. Be excited to do it differently and when people say no, don’t take it personally. It’s not about you at all, it’s about the universe guiding each person -- including you.

In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with April Stroink, a money coach and financial advisor who specializes in helping entrepreneurs create financial clarity, ease, and abundance in their practice.
Throughout their discussion, Meghan and April continually tie their conversation back to the analogy of a financial storm. The storm could represent a shift in the financial market or something that could potentially throw your business off course. Whatever it may represent, Meghan and April discuss that storms are not necessarily meant to swoop us out to sea. Those who will fare the best are the ones who can acknowledge the trajectory of the storm and make decisions in alignment with what is coming their way. When you see the storm coming, there are decisions that you can make to help protect your home, and in the case of this analogy, to protect your business and financial situation. When your business is future proofed you will be able to capitalize and move momentum in the direction of opportunity.
But future-proofing your business and adding additional revenue streams can be challenging. Many entrepreneurs have self-negating attitudes about how they make money, or perhaps believe that they don’t deserve to make abundant money for the services they offer. Meghan and April unpack this idea of quantum wealth, which comes from a mindset of abundance, not scarcity.
As Meghan has mentioned in previous episodes, she is completely over allowing the energy of scarcity to be pervasive in this community. And this episode will certainly be helpful in stopping the cycle of scarcity as it exposes some of the mindset and thinking traps that practitioners are finding themselves in. Techniques and strategies are provided that can be deployed in your business which will leave you in a position to take advantage of the opportunities that lay before you.
Want to be prepared for the storm and minimize your risk moving forward? Then you won’t want to miss this episode.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker is joined by Elise Darma, a Canadian entrepreneur, marketing coach and expert in creating effective social media strategies for businesses, to discuss the “A” in IMPACT medicine - attraction.
As an entrepreneur, the task of constantly creating and posting can feel daunting and unbearable. How do you attract and capture that target audience when your video comes up in their feed? Elise answers this question and so much more in this episode as she and Meghan discuss how to use the various social media platforms efficiently.
Tik Tok is great for keeping up on trends, but don’t forget Instagram and Twitter, and even Pinterest, YouTube shorts and LinkedIn. And although there is an overwhelming amount of platforms, Elise points out that you can repurpose your videos on different sites.
The key to slowly building your audience is to be consistent. Short-form video is the best free tool you have to generate sales and grow your business. The ideal short-form video either entertains or educates or ideally does both, depending on your niche. A really effective first sentence or headline in your caption will grab viewers attention. And to keep their attention, cut clips tight and talk fast, removing any dead air or pauses. Using props is another great way to draw viewers in.
Talking-head videos that share a tip are also effective marketing tools but be sure you set them up to collect an email address at the end.
These are just a few of the many tips Elise discusses in this episode. She is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to all things social media so make sure to tune in to this episode to hear all of the strategic and tactical information she has to share.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan talks about the ”P” in IMPACT Medicine -- the people you serve in your business. She points out that our healthcare system is based on the “line of fine,” meaning that most healthcare professionals think getting people to the “you’re fine” state is enough. Healthcare is not set up to prevent illness or to teach people how to live a healthy, optimal life for longevity.
If you’re an allied care healthcare professional or any type of entrepreneur, there are three ingredients you must have to run your business and ultimately help people in the best way you can.
The first is love -- you need to love what you do and connect to your purpose. The second is lucrative -- it has to make money and have a level of financial stability. And the third is leveraged -- having people and systems in place as part of your growth strategy.
Once these three things are in place, your clients will build trust with you. In the healthcare space, it means people will realize they can actually control their health through their actions, diet and frequency of exercise, with a trusted provider who thinks beyond the “you’re fine” mentality.
It’s important to select your business niche based on the problems your clients need to solve. All these topics and more will be presented at the Impact Lives event.
Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about the “P” in IMPACT Medicine.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker talks about how we all sabotage our own mindset at times and go to a place of scarcity rather than a place of abundance. The mindset of waiting for people to come into our world and recognize and value who we are before we can feel good about ourselves is misguided. We can’t move into a state of abundance when we’re trapped in a state of scarcity ourselves.
Meghan invites all her viewers to set a new standard for who they surround themselves with and the energies they will tolerate in their lives. Part of that is addressing your state of busyness and taking ownership of your own mindset – to move into a maximized state of impact no matter what your duties and responsibilities are.
Expect miracles and miracles will happen. It’s important to step into a state of self-authorization instead of a state of urgency, and that leads to a state of decisiveness which creates magnetic attraction to abundance.

Meghan invites all her viewers to set a new standard for who they surround themselves with and the energies they will tolerate in their lives. Part of that is addressing your state of busyness and taking ownership of your own mindset – to move into a maximized state of impact no matter what your duties and responsibilities are.
Expect miracles and miracles will happen. It’s important to step into a state of self-authorization instead of a state of urgency, and that leads to a state of decisiveness which creates magnetic attraction to abundance.
The topic of mindset work is crucial, especially in the entrepreneurial world, so tune in and learn more!

Intention Is The New Balance - How To Live On Purpose with Amy Wong
Meghan is joined by the ever-compelling Amy Wong on this week’s episode of Impact. Amy is a leadership and transformational coach and the founder of Always On Purpose®. Amy started out studying and teaching math and then went on to get a master’s degree in transpersonal psychology to feed her hunger for answers to life’s big questions. She’s written a book called “Living on Purpose, Five Deliberate Choices to Realize Fulfillment and Joy.”
Amy says the first step is to ask yourself – What’s more important? Playing it safe or changing the world? From there, you can make choices that get you to your goals. Living with intention means taking full responsibility for your choices. If you can learn to do that, you are never a victim of circumstance.
However, we all know that making big choices can bring about anxiety and nervousness. The key is to realize that you are always standing for something, which is your primary underlying objective. When you stand for growth and not conflict avoidance, your life will change radically.
Eloquence and innovation come from taking a stand for what you believe in and rechanneling all your doubt or anxiety into one focal point. This focusing mechanism is a powerful tool. When you claim what you want, you become empowered and feel unity, love and harmony in your life.
Tune in to hear all the ‘aha’ moments that Amy and Meghan’s discussion brings to light.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan discusses the future of our healthcare system and what we can do to improve our present system which is based on a sick care system.
Meghan starts out by talking about getting her first mammogram and how it brought up concerns of depersonalization and lack of dignity for patients and what they’re going through.
Many aspects of our healthcare system have remained antiquated and have become undignified. Even handing a patient a hospital gown can be disenfranchising and disempowering. Meghan envisions a future healthcare system that’s sustainable and can perpetuate and enable humans to become their healthiest selves – to move people toward their health potential rather than just fixing chronic health issues and managing disease.
Our current system is based on maintaining a mediocre level of health rather than educating patients on how to build on their health. This includes teaching people how to eat, how to exercise, and how to remove allergens from their diet. When we look at the future of healthcare, we must look at giving people a strategy on how to move forward toward optimal health and understanding how their bodies work. It also includes changing the traditional sick care system so healthcare providers don’t suffer from burnout.
Meghan is heading up her fifth year of Impact LIVEs from November 17 – 20, 2022, bringing together practitioners from around the world to discuss concepts at the forefront of healthcare. This year’s theme is understanding the future trends of healthcare and IMPACT medicine, including individualized care, the advent of DNA medicine, integration of technology and the intentional delivery of optimal healthcare.

[8:53] What’s burdening our healthcare system

Rachel Varga is a double-certified nurse and aesthetic specialist who’s done more than 20,000 rejuvenation procedures and has written international papers on optimal skincare. She’s at the top of her field when it comes to evidence-based approaches to skincare.
Let’s face it -- your skin quality is one of the first things people notice about you, and we all want to have radiant skin that glows. But how do you get to that level of radiance? It starts by solving your health issues from the inside out.
Rachel points out that air, water, lighting, and electromagnetic purification in your daily life is really key. Purify the air in your office and your living space. Use reverse osmosis to purify your water. For lighting, get rid of your LED lights and go back to halogen. Keep your phone on airplane mode. Turn Bluetooth off in your home.
She also recommends getting grounded by spending a lot of time outside and “living like a caveman” by eating the right foods, simplifying your routine, and limiting your cell phone use.
Her five quintessential skin care practices include cleansing your face morning and night, moisturizing, using a mineral sunscreen every day, exfoliating twice a week and doing an at-home mask treatment once a week. Follow these skin care practices and you’ll be well on your way to radiance, both inside and out.
Listen and take note as Rachel expands upon the topic of radiance and how if we feel great and look great our interactions with the people, places and things around us will be brighter.

Love Coach, Sami Wunder, shares how high-performing women can find love in their lives without alienating their partners, and how they can keep that relationship high-performing.
Many women who consider themselves ambitious go-getters have a hard time attracting and keeping a good man in their lives. The first step is to look at how, as a woman, you may be contributing to the dynamics that you face in your love life. When women stop placing blame and learn how to be vulnerable in relationships, their partners react in a positive way and embrace that vulnerability.
That doesn’t mean playing a submissive role or acting helpless. It means looking at your love life patterns and seeing where you may be blocking love from coming in. Once you shift those patterns from a win/lose point of view to a new pattern of acceptance on both sides, the passion and love is enhanced.
A key factor is bringing the feminine aspect into a relationship. Embodying your feminine is about being who you truly are. Drop the masks, drop the walls and be vulnerable and comfortable in your own imperfection. Be open to receiving love as well as giving love. When you let your guard down, the real connection happens.
Tune in to this interesting discussion on love, vulnerability and the high-performance woman.

In this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with Dr. Lauren Lee Stone. Dr. Lauren is a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), Holistic Health Practitioner, and Integrative Health Practitioner. Today, she is here to talk to us about how to treat autism and other chronic diseases.
Dr. Lauren discusses how her son’s autism diagnosis led her to switch her field of study from Italian and French literature to holistic and integrative health, how long it took to start seeing positive results when healing his autism, commonalities she sees in treating kids with chronic illnesses, and more. We also speak about how foods have lost nutritional value throughout the decades and how infections run in biofilms. It always comes down to starting with the gut. The food we eat is essential to curing our body’s illness.
Dr. Lauren was let down by the doctors at the Yale Child Study Center, so she took matters into her own hands and managed to heal her child with holistic and homeopathic medicine. Now he is a flourishing, handsome young man, on his way to getting his doctorate. It just goes to show that nothing is impossible in the world of natural medicine and healing.
Tune in, absorb, and take notes to take control of your child’s health!

In this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with the inspirational Dr. Elisa Song. Dr. Song is an integrative pediatrician and a pediatric functional medicine expert. She has been doing this for over two decades now and it’s safe to assume that she is a powerful force in the integrative pediatric community. Today, she is here to talk to us about how to raise our children to grow up to live healthy and meaningful lives.
Dr. Song discusses how she became involved with integrative pediatric care, how Swanson’s TV dinners changed the way we view food, the rising sugar epidemic, and more. Dr. Song also speaks about everything we need to know about the gut microbiome, what vitamins most kids are deficient in, and suggests vital elements to maintain immune health.
As we start to pick up the pieces after a long pandemic and the catastrophe it has left in its wake, we must begin to think about the psychological toll it has had on our children. And continuing to feed them foods with artificial colors and ingredients will only worsen things. Make sure to make time for cooking healthy home-cooked meals and monitor what your kids’ minds are consuming as well.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a tremendously important conversation with Dr. Roseann Capana-Hodge. Dr. Roseann is a mental health clinician, author, and founder of the Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health and Dr. Roseann, LLC. She is definitely “Changing the way we view and treat children’s mental health,” and she is here today to give us her secrets to raising healthy kids.
Dr. Roseann speaks about how she became involved with treating children’s mental health, how we are in a crisis state when it comes to mental health, why parents should be managing their own stress before assessing their child’s stress, and more. With the pandemic, mass shootings, and other tragedies happening all across the world, and now with those tragedies being more accessible than ever through social media, our children are bound to feel sad and frustrated.
Kids and parents need to have something that comforts and calms them because if they don’t, that stressor will keep on coming back and it will bring friends. Make sure to foster strong communication with your child before outsourcing because sometimes they just want someone that’ll listen without judgment.
Make sure to tune in, take notes, and apply the knowledge that this very powerful woman is spilling over onto us, today.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we did not have a guest but we still had an impactful and meaningful conversation. Raising our children to be responsible, successful, and meaningful is something that needs to have the utmost attention as parents. What I wanted to talk about are the 7 core categories that will help kids grow to be healthy and resilient beings.
As parents, we may think that having our children grow up with the same customs and traditions that we had is acceptable because we did it and we turned out fine but did we really? About 1/3 of adults in North America take antidepressants. We need to examine ourselves before we embed our cultural misconceptions and habits onto them because they live in a whole new time, a whole new world than we did.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had an enlightening conversation with resilience master, Jess Sherman. Jess is a Family Health Educator, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Author, and host of the Feeding Families Podcast. In this show, we talk about what got her into the art of resilience for kids and how we can better our situation when it comes to overcoming anxiety and other mental health issues.
There are many issues that we are facing as a modern civilization when it comes to fortifying our minds but Jess makes it evident that what we feed ourselves and our children will have the biggest effect. Sugar consumption levels as well as screen time is causing kids to be more anxious and suicidal. Cutting back on these things as well as consuming more nutritious whole food can have significant outcomes when it comes to our mental stability.
As if our minds weren’t fragile enough, the pandemic hit and things got much worse. Jess even says that the effects of the pandemic can affect us for decades to come. That is why it’s very important to find ways to cope with our emotions when adversity hits so that we don’t keep repeating the same dysfunctional patterns that do not serve us. For those who are intrigued by this conversation with Jess, make sure to tune in to her podcast, Feeding Families, and also pick up her book, Raising Resilience, available on Amazon!

On this episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with the wonderful Dr. Aimie Apigian. Dr. Aimie is a Board Certified Preventative Medicine Physician with a Masters in Biochemistry and Public Health. She is also an author, speaker, and founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated, LLC. The topic of discussion for this week is understanding the complexity behind trauma and how to properly address it in order to heal from it.
There are many factors that play into trauma but many of us don’t know what those factors are, let alone what trauma actually is and how it deeply affects us. In this episode, Dr. Aimie dives deep into how she became involved with healing trauma through her own personal experiences and how she has harnessed the pain and turned it into an art and practice that helps many people in their healing journeys.
Of course, we discuss many topics in this episode, but the one statement that Dr. Aimie could not emphasize enough is “less talking, more doing”. Quite frequently, she notices that people tend to stay in the act of expressing their feelings about their trauma and not enough on taking action to diminish it. She asserts that everyone has trauma; everyone in this world is going to endure it at some point. In this episode, she recommends how one should approach their road to emotional wellness and stability. Make sure to have your notepad on hand when you tune in!

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, there are no guests, it’s just you and me. The topic of discussion for this episode is resilience. I wanted to unpack this very complex term because there are many layers to resilience and I think that it is something that every entrepreneur, every employee, every parent, every kid… everybody should have.
I discuss the factors that lead to substantial and robust resilience, most of which is developed at an early age. When my parents divorced, I flew back and forth between their homes since the age of 11. As if flying wasn’t nerve-wrecking enough, I had to fly by myself and those experiences helped me build a tremendously strong emotional and mental resilience because that ‘goodbye’ hurt every single time. It is the experiences we face when we’re younger that shape us into the people we are today. But we have to address our traumas instead of masking them.
Though some of us have had the privilege of having a home, a nice family, good friends, a full fridge, not everyone has those privileges. It is very important to be aware that people act a certain way based on their life’s circumstances. Empathy is something that we can and should develop in ourselves because not everyone has developed their resilience enough to endure their unfortunate circumstances.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had one of the most intuitive conversations yet with the magical, Asha Frost. Asha is an Indigenous (Ojibwe) Medicine Person, mentor, space holder, author and more. Her mission is to have people decolonize their mind and free their spirit from the manacles that have been weighing us down for centuries.
Some of the most impactful ideas from this discussion were how she got introduced to the world of natural medicine and homeopathy; how one shouldn’t care too much about other people’s opinions; how to heal from generational trauma, and much more. Asha emphasizes the idea of decolonizing our brain and spirit, but it’s not only for Indigenous people. She says that all people have been colonized to some extent and now, there is a shift in that aspect.
Asha is truly the modern bridge between the physical world and the spirit world. Her ways of living, ideologies, and ethics have tremendously sparked an inner light in many lives across the globe, including mine. If one wants to take a deeper dive into her journey and receive guidance from a true spiritual master, be sure to pick up her book, You Are The Medicine, available everywhere books are sold.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a very special conversation with Natalie Jill. Natalie is a fat loss expert turned high-performance coach. One can also say she is a supermom. But more than that, she is an amazing philosopher that is turning the clock to a different time when it comes to our mindset. Her mission is to tackle these FAT’s, false assumed truths, and reprogram our minds in order to achieve our highest potential.
In this conversation, we dive into many different topics regarding health and business, but the main idea of discussion was definitely learning how to get rid of these social norms or “truths” that aren’t necessarily our truth, but someone else’s. Natalie emphasizes how one should go about achieving their dream life through the process of deciding what it is they want, envisioning exactly how they want it, and then taking the right actions to achieve it.
More than ever now with social media, people have been programmed to think that we can only do things a certain way and that is not our truth. It may be for them but once one starts to break the barriers they thought existed within them, one then finds out that almost anything is possible. We are creatures of this planet put here to live, experience, and grow, and the possibilities for different outcomes are endless!

Show Notes: IMPACT, Ep. 275
From Prisoner to Prison Reformer with John Jackson
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a very special conversation with a guest who is making tremendous changes in the prison rehabilitation space, John Jackson. John was incarcerated for 18 years in prison, so he shares the details that transpired his tumultuous yet inspiring and heart-warming story and how he uses his traumatic experiences to make positive change in the space of prison reform.
Everyone makes poor decisions in their lives but some decisions come at a much higher cost than others and for John, one decision got him wrapped up in the hands of the wrong side of the law. John shares the events that got him sentenced and how the prison system is created to keep offenders at a state of offending by not offering programs to effectively rehabilitate them. But now that is changing with Hustle 2.0, an organization that helps incarcerated adults and youth.
Hustle 2.0 takes a holistic approach to healing and rehabilitating because inappropriate behavior is usually derived from trauma. John has definitely changed my perception of what being a prisoner is actually like and how the prison system is built to keep people going to prison instead of actually helping. John also shares the positive side of being in a gang and how the skills he developed in the gang has helped him be the keen and fearless leader he is today. Tune in to get the full scoop!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[5:25] John Jackson’s intro to Hustle 2.0, an organization that helps incarcerated adults and youth in the US
[7:32] How to know if you’re a natural-born leader
[8:22] John’s horrific experiences that lead him to prison and making poor choices in life

MEMORABLE QUOTES:
“We take a holistic approach to rehabilitation and healing. We focus on trauma and we like to say that we’re putting lipstick on the pig by making trauma fun, processing trauma fun.”
~John Jackson
“What makes me uniquely gifted to do that is my experience of serving 18 years in prison, being a former gang member, and misusing my leadership skills and my ability to help people; I’ve misused those skills for a very long time.”
~John Jackson
“I never felt like I belonged to anyone. So when I got to prison, when I got to jail, I became a gang member, I got exactly what I wanted. I got my family that put me first.”
~John Jackson
“The indoctrination comes from gang members who say, ‘Come in, we’re going to show you what you’re supposed to do, who you’re supposed to be.’ And it’s very militaristic. So my indoctrination was into a criminal lifestyle.”
~John Jackson
“I wasn’t even given access to get my GED until 10 years into my prison sentence; to earn any kind of education. That sets an example of what our prison system can be like here in the United States.”
~John Jackson
“Within five years, almost 90% of people who are released from prison go back to prison. That’s where my story is a little unique.”
~John Jackson
“I know what my purpose on this earth is and it’s not to die in prison. I believe that God has given me the courage to live out my purpose.”
~John Jackson
“Many people know what their purpose is, but knowing what your purpose is and choosing to live it out are two different things.”
~John Jackson
“My purpose is to share my story and write curriculum for Hustle 2.0 and inspire people who are incarcerated to see that they can come out through this stronger.”
~John Jackson
“And they can take the best out of their experiences in prison like what I got. I got leadership, grit, resilience, determination; I got all of those things from prison… and I get to use that to have an impact on people.”
~John Jackson
Dr. Marie is a Naturopathic Doctor and co-founder of BioHeal Ottawa. One can say that she is a health detective for chronic illnesses and diseases. In this episode, we discuss the dangers of long-haul COVID and other latent infections, and how they can be treated effectively through naturopathic treatments.
Dr. Marie dives deep into the chronic illnesses and diseases that can transpire after having COVID. There are many things one can do in order to reverse and prevent this from happening. These viruses can be detrimental to our immune system, so much so that they can wake up a certain illness one has had years, even decades before. We also discuss the controversial topic of the COVID vaccine and its effectiveness in long-haul COVID.
Overall, Dr. Marie makes it clear that it is immensely important to inform ourselves of studies and cases in order to make responsible decisions for ourselves and our children. No one is safe from these infectious diseases so we take the necessary steps in order to prevent or eradicate these viruses as timely and effectively as we can. In Dr. Marie’s experience dealing with over 800 patients with long-haul COVID, naturopathic medicine and treatments are the way to go!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:

MEMORABLE QUOTES:
“I used my roots, my rooted roots of naturopathic medicine, and treated the individual and not the disease.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“At this point, I have already treated 800 patients, so that’s quite a bit.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“Long-haul COVID is persistent symptoms, so to speak, long after these “infections” should have passed. And so these patients persist on with chronic symptoms. The number one chronic symptom would be chronic fatigue.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“Something you had in 1983 could come back and haunt you . So COVID really does cause such an immune dysregulation that it does kick open the doors for these latent viruses that could bring up symptoms that I haven’t had in 20 years.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“Most patients, they were just told that there was nothing to do to help them, and that they should just go home and rest and they’ll eventually get better. That has not been the case.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“30% of patients who have gotten COVID end up getting long-haul COVID as well.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“This is a push to my profession but I really urge all you to seek out a naturopathic doctor to help you if you are sick because there is hope to get you better.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“Could it be that SARS-COV-2 actually gets untreated and then goes into a second phase of this long-haul COVID, of this untreated virus, just like lyme disease?”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“It affects every one of us. So whether you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated, we see these breakthroughs, if you will, infections of SARS-COV-2 in patients that have been vaccinated and you see just as much long-haul COVID in unvaccinated.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
“I’m not convinced that the vaccine can protect you against long-haul; we just don’t have enough research.”
~Dr. Marie Matheson
On this episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with entrepreneurial guru, Lee Richter. Lee has been named in the top 100 business leaders for 7 years, as well as the Top 100 fastest growing businesses in the Bay Area. She is a part of the Forbes Business Council and is now making her imprint in the digital space known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Lee helps us unpack the very complex idea of NFTs and what actually inspired her to cement herself in that arena. Being a successful entrepreneur since the 90s, one can assume that Lee knows a thing or two (or a thousand) about trends and finances, so you won’t want to miss the very valuable nuggets of information she has imbedded throughout this episode.
NFTs and crypto are the inevitable present and future. What NFTs are doing to our modern society is very important work because they work as a way to demonopolize the financial institutions that control all aspects of revenue in this country and the rest of the world, until now. We have knowledge, we have power, we have technology, and we must learn to work with it instead of against it. Tune in and find out more about this form of currency that’s changing the way we view art, community, and wealth!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
[6:29] Lee’s background and how she got started in the world of NFTs and crypto
[7:55] What exactly are NFTs
[17:58] Example of a practical form of a NFT
[21:11] Are NFTs strictly digital art or physical art as well
[32:47] What are smart contracts and digital wallets
[40:44] What to look for when starting to invest in NFTs

“So as a marketer, I’m like wow, this is really special. Not only do you bring your favorite people with you, but those who come with you are actually engaged and like being part of the community.”
~Lee Richter
“UC San Diego just launched that every single student who graduates will not only be getting their diploma through NFT but also their transcripts via NFT so that they are in control of it and it’s validated that it’s true.”
~Lee Richter
“Everyone puts their own value to it. For them, it was worth it to get the picture they wanted and the experience. Now she owns that picture. And to her, it was meaningful to have that golden egg more so than the extra thousand dollars.”
~Lee Richter
“Now what happens beautifully and why artists love this so much is that in the NFT transaction, they can build themselves in forever.”
~Lee Richter
“They can build it in so 300 years from now, their heirs are still getting a percentage of that art being sold, whether it’s music or physical art, or digital art.”
~Lee Richter
“There’s many many ways that people can take the digital and turn it physical or take the physical and turn it digital. So it’s interactive based on the smart contract, what you get for it.”
~Lee Richter
“A digital wallet is where you convert your currency… to the currency to trade inside the NFT marketplace. Generally when you start, it’s most likely going to be etherium (ETH).”
~Lee Richter
“None of us had the same opportunity with Amazon. But we do have the opportunity here to jump in and see what can we do and what can you make the best for you and your brands and your life.”
~Lee Richter
“You can build whatever you want in the smart contract. But it’s determined between the buyer and the seller. Where the seller pays for it, they take it with those terms.”
~Lee Richter
On this episode of IMPACT, we had a very inspiring conversation with Margaret Floyd Barry. Margaret is a functional nutritionist, author, and co-owner of Restorative Wellness Solutions. Margaret is a nutrition guru but also a philosophy guru. The way she conveys her knowledge and wisdom is truly a work of art, so you definitely won’t want to miss this episode.
We discuss topics such as the events that transpired that got her into functional nutrition, getting her clients to get on a restrictive diet, and teaching people, both adults and children, how to build resilience and their tolerance for hard things. Many times, people want results but don’t wish to put in the hard work to attain those results. Margaret puts a strong emphasis on not only reshaping your diet but also reshaping and reforming our minds to be able to tolerate hardships and struggles.
The more we push ourselves to do hard things, the easier that specific thing gets. Practice definitely makes perfect (if not, something very close to it). Tune in to find out more on this important issue that does not get the attention it deserves! We miss 100% of the shots we don’t take, so don’t miss this one, especially if you’ve been thinking of trying something new with your lifestyle choices and aspirations.

~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“The thing I really like to do with people is really anchor them into what’s possible. Like, what’s on the other side of that hard thing.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“It’s going to be hard, and guess what? My job is to be here by your side to troubleshoot, to cheer lead, to pep talk, to be the shoulder; to do all the things that you need in order to do this hard thing.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“We’re big believers in picking a hard thing and sticking with it, even if you decided a couple weeks later that you don’t actually like that hard thing.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“Everyday that I’m in that ice bath, it is a meditation and a reminder that I am built to do hard things, and the more hard things you do, the more resilience you build.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“Biologically, we’re wired to “if it hurts, that means we’re in danger”, but that’s not the world we live in. So we need to re-train to understand that discomfort does not equal a threat to my life.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
“It is honoring to me, not just feeling it but, honoring, whatever feeling I have about the situation, and thanking them for taking care of me and stepping in and doing it anyways.”
~Margaret Floyd-Barry
On this week’s episode of Impact, there were no guests, but still lots of important information to discuss. I wanted to take a different approach on this episode and have a rundown of the key takeaways and ideas from our past episodes.
From talking about menopausal health with Dr. Anna Cabeca, to discussing the importance of believing in our intuition with Reef Karim, to the inspiring and meditative app/community, Othership, with Robbie Bent, we talk about it all. Also dived into the conversation of not needing to fit in with Katie Prince, and understanding the context behind an opinion with Jon Goodman.
There is much more we discuss on this episode so you definitely want to tune it. It’s amazing to have had so many wonderful guests on IMPACT. I can’t wait to keep on having more conversations with these intellectual and powerful people. It’s definitely wonderful to be able to go back to these episodes that contain so much insightful stories and information!
KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

- [11:52] Katie Prince

“Really what I took away from his conversation more than anything else is that you have to contextualize someone’s commentary with a lens of nuance.”
~Meghan Walker
“Telling people exactly what they want to hear is an excellent way of marketing but it’s your job as the consumer to have a lens of understanding around the context of experience that that person is bringing to the table.”
~Meghan Walker
“We’re looking over this ancient land that has seen many levels of professions.”
~Meghan Walker
“I’ve been asking people lately, what are you willing to give up in order to achieve the results you are looking for.”
~Meghan Walker
“That is really a sentiment that I took away from Dr. Anna’ interview, is that sometimes for us to move forward, we actually have to hit pause on various areas of our lives.”
~Meghan Walker
“Robbie has built something truly amazing with Othership. Othership is an app and a physical location where you literally gather in community to ice baths, and saunas, and breathing workshops.”
~Meghan Walker
“The key thing that I took away from that conversation with Robbie is that for things to be effective in your life, for you to actually reap the rewards of transformation, you have to commit.”
~Meghan Walker
“We are going to make decisions that are not necessarily in alignment with their expectation because ultimately it gets to be our life.”
~Meghan Walker
On this week’s episode of IMPACT, I had a powerful conversation with crypto, breathwork, and meditation guru, Robbie Bent. Robbie is the founder of the Othership app, an app that teaches people proper and effective breathing techniques, guided meditations, other strategies to control our nervous system, and much much more.
Robbie dives deep into the controversial topics of psychedelics and how they can be used to treat trauma we have stored in our bodies since we were children. Something as little as the first time our moms or teachers scolded us can have a detrimental effect on our bodies, and substances like psilocybin help to release that negative energy and make room for positive energy. In a world that’s addicted to constant stimuli, it’s very important to be able to plug out of that and embrace the wonders of the unknown.
Breathwork, meditation, ice baths, and psychedelics are not going to work for everyone right off the bat. Much like a sport or hobby, these things require practice in order to start having fun with them. Practice makes perfect. Nothing is done overnight, and Robbie makes sure his listeners and supporters know that. His journey is spectacularly remarkable. Tune in!

“I moved to Israel and actually tried a 10-day retreat. A silent retreat. 100 hrs. Meditation is a skill. For the people listening and are saying I tried it, put it on my phone, but nothing is working. Now I feel guilty. I’m sitting down and now I’m just thinking about work. That’s the common response.”
~Robbie Bent
“It’s almost like, you know, if you pick up a guitar, or any instrument… a piano… you can’t play a song, so you know, it’s not fun. You go “this sucks” and “I’m no good at it”. That’s what you’re going through when you try meditation and can’t get into it.”
~Robbie Bent
“Meditation was really hard and so most people just couldn’t get into it. And then psychedelics medicine is great to create habit change. To sort of act as a catalyst.”
~Robbie Bent
“Even when you’re not working, you’re thinking about it. And then what happens is you start to get addicted to stimulation.”
~Robbie Bent
“I was so jacked up on my screens, and just like, consistent stimulation, so I’m like, I need a pattern interrupt. The one I did was a dark retreat, which is kind of the ultimate form of this. You live in a cave with no stimulation at all, and you reset your dopamine receptors.”
~Robbie Bent
“Things like psilocybin, ayahuasca, FIBO, DMT, there are no cases of people actually becoming addicted to these substances.”
~Robbie Bent
“There was this study by this professor, David Nutt, and they ranked destructiveness of substances, and they ranked alcohol was 50 orders of magnitude higher than psilocybin mushrooms.”
~Robbie Bent
“I’ve always been fascinated with Roman ingenuity, and one of the things I’ve found interesting… was how prevalent baths, sauna, and the use of temperature, and the incorporation of socialization was in the Roman culture.”
~Robbie Bent
“For me, being in the cold is actually like this safe, psychological space. It’s so fascinating.”
~Robbie Bent
“I would just say that if you’re struggling with willpower, with sleep, with fatigue, a really good place to look is, ‘am I foundationally breathing properly?’.”
~Robbie Bent

Today, I am joined by one of my good friends, Dr. Meighan Valero! Dr. Valero is one of the preeminent naturopathic doctors in Canada with a focus on cancer.

Unfortunately, it is no exaggeration to say that we all will have cancer touch our lives at some point. One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetimes. Understanding what is possible from an integrative approach is something that we all deserve to know and I cannot think of anyone better to drive this conversation than Dr. Meighan Valero!
In this episode, she is sharing her own personal story that has driven her to passionately explore and provide incredible integrative cancer care, as well as how she works with her current patients when it comes to addressing cancer.

Today I am so excited to be sharing with all of you my latest 5 a.m. project: The Entrepology Planner. Like many entrepreneurs, I have this moderate obsession with physical planners. They are truly what keep me being productive all day, staying effective throughout my weeks, and on top of my game all year-’round. But, finding the one perfect planner was just a little out of reach. So, I decided to take things into my own hands by creating one to rule them all using proven Entrepology systems that I use within my practice, personal life, and with the coaches that I work with.
In this episode, I’ll be taking you through what makes The Entrepology Planner so unique; the various templates and frameworks that will guide you through creating your perfect days, weeks, months, and years; how it addresses “deep work” days, your KPIs, and daily habits; and ultimately, where you can get your hands on the first available copies!
Entrepology, to me, is the study and confluence of entrepreneurship, mindset, and health. I literally brought to birth a journal that enables you to attend to all of those pieces.
Key Takeaways:
[:42] Kicking off the podcast by giving thanks to those who make The Entrepology Podcast possible each week!
[1:36] About today’s episode: the 5 a.m. project.
[2:22] What a 5 a.m. project is and how it manifested for me in creating The Entrepology Planner.
[6:26] All about The Entrepology Planner; who it is designed for and why it is unique to other planners.
[8:06] Key sections in the planner that make up The Entrepology Time System.
[9:55] The four different types of “days” in The Entrepology Time System.
[12:54] How the planner addresses “deep work” days.
[15:10] The Entrepology Planner’s unique week template.
[15:49] A key aspect of the Time System: “play days” and “dream time,” and why incorporating these will help you become a more effective thinker.
[17:13] How the week template is split up into two key parts: 1) The things you have to do, and 2) The things you want to be.
[17:33] How the planner helps you track your KPIs (and why this is so important!)
[19:58] Another cool component of the planner: the Pomodoro Technique.
[21:43] How to create effective rituals, goals, and daily habits using different sections in The Entrepology Planner.
[22:55] Version 1 of The Entrepology Planner is now available! Here’s how to download your copy today.

“If I was willing to get up at 5 a.m. to work on this for a quarter of the year [I asked myself], ‘Would I do that?’ And honestly, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to get up at 5 a.m. and I’m going to affectionately name this the ‘5 a.m. project.’” — Meghan Walker
“Creating a planner was not my life’s purpose but it was something that I was irrationally passionate about — and so I made space to do it at 5 a.m.” — Meghan Walker
“I really think that if you’ve got something you’re excited about, that you’re willing to get out of bed at 5 am to complete … then it’s worth exploring.” — Meghan Walker
“If you’re going to start to build your life and purpose, and work within a vertical of purpose, you need to create the time and space in order for that to happen.” — Meghan Walker
“Actually take a break; Actually step up and stretch, because there is no amount of research that suggests that sitting at your desk all day is going to make you more productive, or more creative, or more efficacious within your business.” — Meghan Walker
“Entrepology, to me, is the study and the confluence of entrepreneurship, mindset, and health. I literally brought to birth a journal that enables you to attend to all of those pieces.” — Meghan Walker

“We’ve all been taught that time heals all wounds and I have proof that that is not true.”
— Dr. Debi Silber
“There are five stages [of betrayal] that we will go through from the place of walking in with symptoms of post-betrayal syndrome to that … completely healed state called post-betrayal transformation.” — Dr. Debi Silber
“We even know what happens physically, mentally, and emotionally at every one of those stages [of betrayal] and what it takes to move from one stage to the next. Most people … are stuck in stage 3 … — and transformation doesn’t even begin until stage 4!” — Dr. Debi Silber
“Unless we can imagine something other than what we currently experience, we’re stuck.” — Dr. Debi Silber
Today I am super excited to delve into a subject that falls smack dab in the middle of mindset, body, and entrepreneurship. This subject is the epitome of what it means to study and look at entrepology… and that is burnout.
As entrepreneurs and business owners, we’ve all experienced burnout at least once in our lifetime. And what’s really exciting about my two guests today is that they are absolute experts on all things burnout and even have a framework for it that can help all of us recognize where we are on the trajectory to burnout… and reverse it before we completely crash.
Dr. Erin Wiebe and Dr. Destiny Spurrell are the founders of the incredible organization, Soul Spark Sisterhood! And together in this episode, they’re going to completely turn your perspective of burnout on its head and give you what you need to know to stay out of it for good. They outline the characteristics of each of the four phases that lead to burnout, the ways that burnout impacts you both mentally and psychologically, and share what you can do to increase your resiliency in the face of stress.
No one is exempt from a phase of burnout and understanding where you are on the scale of burnout is exactly what you need to know in order to stay out of it for good. I cannot wait for you all to tune in and have some incredible knowledge dropped your way!

More About Doctors Destiny Spurrell and Erin Wiebe
Destiny Spurrell and Erin Wiebe are both wives, mothers, naturopathic doctors, and co-founders of Soul Spark where they move ambitious female entrepreneurs from burnout to soul sparked by rebuilding energy of body, mind, and soul.
Erin’s obsessive curiosity to understand the dance of women’s hormones combined with Destiny’s relentless quest to understand our relationship to our Mind & Soul has created a powerful and truly holistic approach.
Destiny is a recovering approval seeker. Her superpower is listening deeply and helping women uncover the truth of their wise woman that lies within. Destiny uses her EQ superpower at home as the chief space holder for her three boys who are 9, 7, and 4.

Their philosophy is: when a woman lives attuned and aligned to her body, mind, and soul, she is unleashed to live with energy and confidence.

“A lot of people equate burnout with exhaustion and that’s just a piece of burnout; it’s a stage of burnout. … There’s a progression. We don’t just wake up one morning and go, ‘I’m exhausted … I have no idea where this came from.’” — Dr. Erin Wiebe
“We need cortisol in order to feel alert and have a … normal circadian rhythm. But, in the exhaustion phase [of burnout], we have a … very low cortisol response. So, as the demands … compound, and we require the ability to adapt to stress, we aren’t able to.” — Dr. Erin Wiebe
“[With burnout], we start to feel less impassioned by the things in our life that usually light us up … like our work. We start to feel resentment towards the things in life that we actually love and value.” — Dr. Erin Wiebe
“No one is exempt from a phase of burnout. And understanding where we are on that scale is exactly what we need to know to stay out of it for good.” — Dr. Destiny Spurrell
“To truly be empowered in burnout we need to be able to recognize, earlier, where we are, or, to be able to value our experience when we get to that spot.” — Dr. Destiny Spurrell
“When you’re in the exhaustion phase [of burnout], you might not be able to execute a massive lifestyle change or … a drastic shift. … But these 1% shifts that we can tangibly access with … consistency … [are] how we can … make a difference over time.” — Dr. Destiny Spurrell
“You can’t do all of the things. You need to recognize where you are. Place value on where you are. And be real about what your access point is right here and now.” — Dr. Destiny Spurrell
Every once and a while you come across these people that are incredibly gifted at taking — what could be — a very complex idea and making it super simple to both understand and implement.

She also paired them with the tools and steps that you can leverage to make them easy to implement in your life, regardless of your lifestyle.

“Reducing caffeine and alcohol I have honestly seen be a really big game-changer — especially in the initial steps of healing.” — Shae Leonard
“We need to send [our body] all the right signals [to get to sleep] and we just don’t. We’ve got all the lights on, we’re watching a crime drama … We just do not tell our body it’s safe to sleep.” — Shae Leonard
“If we want energy and we want to feel fueled, and we want to have proper mood resilience, we have to eat whole foods. Our body just functions on them. That’s it. It does not function on the modern food we’re trying to consume.” — Shae Leonard
“Just start enjoying and allowing yourself to feel those positive emotions. Visualize it. Spend that time day-to-day training your brain. We have to do it every day. We can’t just have meditation once a month or once a year and expect our brain to respond well” — Shae Leonard
“[Learn] to shift that perspective and lean into the discomfort … get to failure quicker. … Don’t be afraid of it. Just learn that it’s a part of the process. … You can act, learn, and adjust through [it] and keep moving.” — Shae Leonard
“[Pushing] through those fears and limiting beliefs … was a game-changer for me.” — Shae Leonard
Today I am taking you through a framework that I have been working on for the better part of the last five years. This framework encompasses and represents what Entrepology truly is all about — the investigation and study of what it takes to be a high-performing entrepreneur — where I’ve found that the confluence for this existing is in understanding and breaking apart the mindset of what drives people to create, their capacity to take risks, their health, and of course their inherent entrepreneurial skills that bring it all together.
What I am taking you all through today is a list of eight categories of things that, together, encompass the “Entrepology Life System” (or ELS for short). All of these pieces are important considerations that we need to be aware of and have in balance that will help enable us to live a successful, fulfilling life.
Key Takeaways:
[:42] About today’s solo episode about the “Entrepology Life System.”
[4:38] About my upcoming 5:00 a.m. project and how it ties into this conversation.
[5:20] I’m interested in hearing from you! Let me know your thoughts on these eight categories or if you think there are more categories to add over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker!
[5:40] Element #1: Knowing your purpose or having a sense of purpose.
[9:00] Element #2: Having clarity around understanding the impact that you want to have in the world.
[10:17] Element #3: Income, finances, and time.
[12:56] Element #4: What are you doing to tend to your growth?
[14:58] Element #5: Making space for your relationships.
[18:09] Element #6: What experiences do you want to have in your life?
[20:28] Element #7: Your health.
[22:48] Element #8: Your legacy (financially, intergenerationally, and your intellectual property).
[26:45] Summarizing the eight elements of the ELS.

Title: Body: You Can Live and Thrive with Cancer — This is How with Dr. Lori Bouchard, ND
Description:
Today I am joined by an incredible naturopathic doctor, Lori Bouchard! Lori has dedicated most of her career over the last 12 years to working with patients with cancer. But she doesn’t help simply manage their care; she helps them build a life that enables them to thrive and co-exist with cancer.
A large portion of Lori’s work is to change her patients’ perspectives on what it means to have cancer, live in a meaningful way, and add health despite simultaneously managing a disease. Lori truly has an incredible approach and holistic capacity to look at health in the face of a disease that is going to touch all of us in some capacity throughout our lives.
In this episode, Lori shares how to live your best life with cancer, what you can do today to take measures toward preventing cancer (especially if it runs in your family), how she helps her patients co-exist and thrive alongside cancer, her philosophy around taking an integrative approach with the management of cancer, and how epigenetics play a massive role in this entire conversation.

Tweetables:
“Your destiny [isn’t cancer.] There are so many things that you can do to take a hold of how the environment is playing a role in turning [certain] genes on and off.” — Lori Bouchard
“[Cancer] is 5-10% genetic ... but then really 90% of it is the epigenetic part to the story – what we choose to eat every day, what toxicities we are around, even the people that we hang out with. If we are around really toxic, negative people, that is just as bad for our health vs someone who eats Big Macs every day.” — Lori Bouchard
“We all have cancer cells. That’s the reality of it. … So we have to look at how our immune system is focusing and getting rid of these abnormal cells every single day.” — Lori Bouchard
“[My] mission [is] to help people realize our [bodies are] phenomenal and amazing. My purpose is really spreading that message and helping people realize how powerful they are.” — Lori Bouchard
Today we are talking about one of my most favorite things to discuss — how to be an audacious woman! One of the key qualities that I’ve noticed that distinguish entrepreneurs who are absolutely killing it from those who say they’ve “already tried everything” is the willingness to step outside the norm, a willingness to be uncomfortable, and the ability to take bold risks.
My guest today, Chana Ross, is someone whom I deeply respect for her audaciousness, risk-taking personality, and level-headedness. She is definitely no stranger to making bold decisions, stepping into discomfort, and saying, “Hell yes!” when an opportunity comes her way. She is a pelvic health physiotherapist, clinic owner, business coach, podcast host, mother of four, and a pioneer of the virtual practice space.
In this episode, we unpack every aspect of what it takes to be an audacious woman. Chana shares her personal story and career journey, how to know when it is the right time to make an uncomfortable choice, how to live life on your own terms, how to become more decisive and trust yourself, and the key pieces you need to put in place to become more confident, bold, and audacious!

Today we’re talking about something super interesting and that is the nuances of estrogen. Estrogen is one of those hormones that is synonymous with femininity on the 30,000-foot level. But, as we get closer and closer to the ground, what seems like a simple and emblematic hormone for females is actually infinitely more complex than what it first seems.
And what we’re beginning to see over time is increased interference from our environment and an increased understanding of the roles that estrogen plays, the different types of estrogen, and what the breakdown products of estrogen have the capacity to contribute towards in terms of health — both good and bad.
This entire episode is all about estrogen; how we need to handle it, how we can harness it, and everything you need to know to make it your friend. Joining me for this conversation is an expert on estrogen, Kate Vasquez! Kate is a Functional Medicine Physician Assistant, Estrogen Dominance Expert, and the founder of Radiant Health. She loves helping women reclaim their health and vitality by uncovering the imbalances in their bodies and helping to empower them to take their health into their own hands!

“I … realized the reason why women are suffering every month with PMS symptoms is because of the hormonal imbalance that doesn’t get addressed. And of course, in conventional medicine, it’s treated with birth control. Because that’s definitely not the answer. — Kate Vasquez
“There are a lot of disorders and conditions associated with estrogen dominance that women aren’t aware of, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS … breast cancer. … [Women] are not aware because we put these labels on them and they’re treated a certain way.” — Kate Vasquez
“A lot of women will ask me, ‘Well, does my period start the cycle? Or is it at the end of the cycle?’ So it’s really important that we … educate women because the menstrual phase is the start of the cycle. So day one of your period is day one of the cycle.” — Kate Vasquez
“We have the power to create health and disorder in the body. … Being mindful of our thoughts can really affect the quality of our life and how our cells respond.” — Kate Vasquez
“If we can optimize and maximize our sleep, we’re going to feel so much better. Even studies have proven [that] it reduces chronic disorders, … [and] it actually helps with our hormones. ... I would say optimizing your sleep is probably the best health hack.” — Kate Vasquez

“First and foremost, I think it’s [really important to identify] the difference between what is customer service and what is customer experience. … Business leaders don’t often understand the difference between the two.” — Crystal D'Cunha
“Think about how [you’re] able to include everybody in those conversations. … Really [make] sure that … [you’re] asking questions that appeal to everybody. Often, we’re too targeted on a particular demographic and we really have to open that up.” — Crystal D'Cunha
“Seventy percent of diverse organizations are … better able to capture new markets. And so, when you’re more diverse, you can grow your business easily [and] you’re better decision-makers as a diverse group.” — Crystal D’Cunha
“It’s so exciting when businesses embrace other cultures. You just want to do business [with them] by default … whether you need the product or service or not … because you recognize that they’re making an effort.” — Crystal D’Cunha
“Diversity is being invited [to the dance] but inclusion is actually being asked to dance.” — Crystal D’Cunha

Today, we’re going to be exploring a tool and a mechanism for healing that, for a very long time, was suppressed because of societal messaging. And that tool is psychedelic-assisted healing.
This is an arena that has the opportunity to be flooded with funding and research. For a long time, we as humans have been connected to various forms of plant medicine and various Indigenous groups have made the use of psychedelics an important part of ceremonial healing.
So today, we’re going to break down some of the science, some of the legal avenues that people have to be able to explore, leverage, and utilize psychedelics to accentuate and expedite their healing.
Leading us through this conversation today is my friend and colleague, Angela Ward! As a Registered Nurse, Transformational Coach, and “Soul Midwife,” Angela helps move people through a healing journey by leveraging psychedelics. She helps facilitate the coming together of the medical side, the spiritual side, and the psychotropic side of psychedelics as a tool for healing.
Though this might be a method of healing you are not interested in trying out for yourself, I invite you to listen to this episode, regardless! I want you to go into this episode with an open mind and think outside the box of how things have always been done.
Key Takeaways:

“When [people] work with a psychedelic, held in a safe container … [they’re] able to make new connections or have new understandings of … the root causes of their distress, or, they’re able to see things from a different angle.” — Angela Ward
“There’s something about psychedelics that absolutely does not numb us. … They actually seem to bring us more aware of what’s actually happening in the here-and-now. … A lot of times, in our sober-minded state, we can suppress how our bodies are feeling.” — Angela Ward
“It’s important to remember that psychedelic states and expanded states of consciousness … are part of our ancestral heritage. It’s a native practice in many parts of the world. Psychedelic states have been part of us since we’ve been human.” — Angela Ward

Calling all business owners! Put up your hand if you would describe yourself as “not just a numbers person.” My guest today, Danielle Hayden, is a professional bookkeeper and the founder of Kickstart Accounting. And in this episode, we are speaking directly to those who are self-described as “not a numbers person.”
And don’t worry — we’re not getting into the nuances of bookkeeping. We’re addressing what you need to know as a business owner with respect to your numbers to sustain, grow, and uplevel your business so that you can have the impact that you want to have in the world.
Even if you’re not a numbers person, you still need to look at the data and metrics and understand where they all are. Learning how to outsource the management of these outsources with a bookkeeper is a critical skill.
My challenge for all of you today is to put away that mindset of, “I am not a numbers person,” and instead, step into this conversation from a blank slate perspective. This episode is fun, highly informative, and I cannot wait for you to all hear Danielle Hayden’s insights!

[11:35] Why it is your responsibility as a business owner to understand your numbers.
[15:01] What you need to know when you’re hiring a bookkeeper.
[18:57] What Danielle looks for when she’s hiring on her team.
[19:47] Why bookkeeping is the foundation of your business.
[21:00] What to ask a bookkeeper when you’re interviewing to hire.
[24:18] How important is it for the bookkeeper that you hire to have experience in your particular industry?
[26:20] What does Danielle wish her clients knew about hiring their first bookkeeper? What makes the difference between a good client vs. a bad client?
[30:30] Should bookkeepers come into your physical space or can it all be done virtually?

This is a subject matter I’m incredibly passionate about, and that’s purpose! It’s the cornerstone of my methodology because we need purpose to serve as our guiding light when things don’t seem all that certain or when adversity strikes.
My guest today is Tallia Deljou and finding purpose is something she dedicates her life to and coaches her clients on how to ask smarter questions to really step away from your “work” or “parent” identity and really find what’s true and impactful for you.
In this episode, we learn about purpose. How you define it, how you find it, why it’s important, and so much more! People often think they've found purpose, but the moment they lose their job, or retire, or their children move out of the home, their purpose seems to crumble.
Tallia offers insight on how to cultivate purpose that’s so sustainable that it doesn’t matter when you walk away from an identity, you can still live an authentic and meaningful life.
Key Takeaways:
[1:20] About today’s episode with Tallia Deljou.
[2:45] Welcoming Tallia to the podcast.
[5:45] How does Tallia define purpose?
[8:20] How do you really live a life of purpose when you have student loans, kids, and adult responsibilities?
[11:10] Is purpose a privilege? Don’t get in your own way. Don’t let this mindset stop you from striving for purpose.
[14:00] Everyone here has the permission to pursue their purpose.
[15:35] Your roles and identity are constantly changing. That doesn’t mean you picked the wrong path.
[17:55] People convince themselves they have to pick. In reality, you can have both.
[18:50] You get to write your own rules.
[19:00] How do we know when we’ve found our purpose or are just following a path we think society wants for us?
[21:35] List out all the different roles and personas you play in your daily life, whether that be as a spouse, a parent, a daughter/son to your parents, your friends, and more.
[26:55] When you have a purpose, you don’t pool everything you have into one identity.
[28:55] When your loved ones give you good advice, you still need to have a filter to see what parts of that information are true or relevant for you and where you are in life.
[31:10] Rapid fire questions! Tallia shares a book that’s really impacted her this year.

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

Tallia is all about diving in and finding what’s important to you, and how to be so unapologetic about it!

What is your relationship like with yourself? With others? Are you convinced you can’t have it all? This is a limiting belief you must break.
This week, we’re asking you: What needs to change or be true in your life for you to have the best of both worlds?

He talks about imposter syndrome and how it got worse as he got more popular, and he even takes some time to spill some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets of what really goes on at these big conferences!
Sammy is just jam-packed with musical information and dives into the psychology of what he does. You don’t want to miss out on this episode!

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!

When we hit roadblocks with the entrepreneurs that we work with, generally it comes down to moving into a state of unknown. And for so many of us, that “unknown” is the technology side of our business.

Luckily, my guest today is someone who has been answering these exact questions within my business for the last four years!

CALL TO ACTION
The aim of this conversation with Elan today was to demystify the technology side of your business. Understanding how some of these key elements come into play and fit together is fundamental to being able to confidently engage with the right person when you’re ready to elevate your business through the online space.
This week, we’re asking you: What are you doing to take your business online? What did you learn in this episode that you will be implementing in the future? Let us know over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker, or, our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective!
Today I am joined by Dr. Angela Cortal! Dr. Cortal is a Naturopathic Doctor from the West Coast with a focus on joint pain and chronic pain mitigation in her practice. She is also the best-selling author of the new book, Younger Joints Today. She is incredibly passionate about reversing degenerative joint disease by addressing the root causes.
Even if you don’t experience joint pain or chronic pain, I still highly recommend that you listen up and tune in! Dr. Cortal’s message of addressing the root cause of chronic pain rather than covering it up with medication is so, so important.
Our conversation today is really about the things that we can do to improve our capacity to heal post-injury, as well as what we can do to mitigate the chronic pain that we all begin to naturally experience as we age. Dr. Cortal addresses the relationship between our hormones and our increased propensity for injury and increased capacity to feel pain; the choices that we can make every single day (regardless of our age) to mitigate chronic pain as we progress through life; and what we can do to keep our bodies feeling and performing at their best.
This conversation is extremely invaluable for everybody and I highly recommend you tune in!

[7:40] How are we still at a place, with the evolution of medicine, where people are experiencing pain? And why are we struggling to find the root cause of their pain?
[9:29] The current divide in the healthcare system.
[10:03] How many of the patients that Dr. Cortal has worked with, would she say, have been given an appropriate protocol to take them from an acute injury to functional?
[12:09] For patients moving out of the acute injury phase, what does Dr. Cortal recommend that they be aware of in this intermediate phase while they’re healing?
[14:29] The connection between hormones and chronic pain when it comes to recovery.
[16:02] The risk for injuries in those with hormonal challenges.
[17:50] Long-term diet choices that can be problematic to our joints and chronic pain.
[21:10] Should we be eating collagen? What foods should we be consuming to help build up our joints?
[22:29] The top foods that Dr. Cortal recommends we should all eat.
[23:20] For those who are plant-based eaters, has Dr. Cortal noticed an increased propensity for pain during recovery?
[24:50] Exercises that we should be engaging at 35 years old and older to mitigate chronic pain and increase our ability to recover from acute injury.
[27:28] Dr. Cortal’s key performance indicators!

More About Udo Erasmus
The legendary Udo Erasmus is the co-founder of Udo’s Choice line, which can be found in Whole Foods and other health food stores worldwide. Udo designed the machinery for making oils with health in mind and pioneered flax oil, a billion-dollar industry.
However, Udo walked a difficult path to become the man he is today. Being a child of war, Udo’s life began with intense struggle. As an adult, he got pesticide poisoning in 1980, leaving doctors at a loss regarding treatment. Deciding to take his health into his own hands, Udo began researching, and his discoveries led him to a passion for finding the answers to life’s big questions which would hopefully one day bring him and the world peace.
Today, Udo is an acclaimed speaker and author of many books, including the best-selling Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, which has sold over 250,000 copies. He teaches at events hosted by Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, has keynoted an international brain health conference, and has traveled to over 30 countries to conduct thousands of live presentations, media interviews, and staff training impacting more than 25,000,000 lives with his message on oils, health, peace, nature, and human nature. Udo has an extensive education in biochemistry, genetics, biology, and nutrition, including a master’s degree in counseling psychology.

More About James Barry
James Barry began his sixteen-plus years in the culinary field as a private chef. His inauguration into restaurant-style cooking came later when he was the vegan/vegetarian chef on the Vans Warped Tour, which traveled to 50 North American cities in 60 days. Upon returning to Los Angeles, James continued to be a private chef and had the fortune of cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Not wanting to limit the audience of his healthy and tasty style of cooking, James started Wholesome2Go, a healthy, high-quality food delivery company that served under his leadership in the Los Angeles area for eight years.
Most recently, James launched my first functional food product, Pluck; an organ-based, all-purpose seasoning. This seasoning is the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.
James also co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book, Eat Naked, and co-authored the follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook. He also recently co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7.

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

And if you enjoyed the conversation we had today, come hang out with your people over on our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective! Let’s talk about the intersection of mindset, entrepreneurship, and health.
There are certain things that I’ve made the decision about a long time ago that I would never talk about online. One of these topics that I said I would never discuss publicly was vaccines. Can you think of a more controversial topic? I’ve done podcasts on sex, politics, and money — all of which can be fairly taboo — but vaccines take the cake.
But today, we’re going to go there.
We’re going to not just discuss the current landscape of vaccines, but the idea of informed consent. How do we, as individuals, take radical responsibility for our own health? How do we make an informed decision when we’re only hearing one side of the message? This whole conversation is about informing a new way for you to think; it is not about informing what I want you to do.
I hope you’ll join me in pulling back the curtain on this entire discussion around vaccines.
Key Takeaways:
[:42] About today’s controversial topic.
[2:24] Why the discussion of vaccinations is not black and white, but in fact, grey.
[2:54] Why it is important for us to be able to have nuanced conversations around vaccines.
[4:00] Why I named this episode, “Why I got the jab and also why that’s not your business.”
[5:40] The current landscape of COVID-19 vaccinations and why I made the decision to get the jab.
[7:54] How we are alienating others in making a different type of informed consent.
[9:13] This conversation is really about: what types of questions could or should you be asking as someone willing and able to take responsibility for their own health?
[10:25] What I’ve learned as a clinician about the hesitation around getting the vaccine.
[13:11] The 30-thousand-foot view of vaccines.
[14:05] Why we ultimately need to make the best choice for ourselves on an individual level.
[15:40] What the normal vaccine development process looks like vs. the COVID-19 vaccine development process.
[16:36] Why deciding whether or not you’re going to get the vaccine is, in fact, a very nuanced perspective when you get to the ground level.
[17:31] This is a situation that requires that we have the opportunity to move forward in our decision-making from a place of informed consent.
[18:32] How to provide informed consent to patients.
[20:09] The information that we are entitled to receive in order to make an informed, consensual decision around our health.
[25:48] The most important pieces we need to clear about when it comes to vaccines.
[26:38] We need to be aware of peer pressure so that we can make autonomous decisions with respect to our health.
[27:22] Why it is imperative that we approach this situation as critical thinkers during this time.
[29:40] Most importantly: we need to stop judging others’ decisions.
[30:18] Why I felt it was important to open the door on this conversation.

What I loved about Leslie’s story is her obsession with the detail of the product she was creating and releasing into the world. It wasn’t an idea that she was rushing to market. Rather, she was being as innovative and intentional as she could with the product she was creating.
As entrepreneurs, there’s a time and place to move quickly and to step back and know when to take our time. The details help distinguish us in the marketplace; be sure to slow down and be intentional.
If you are creating something that you want to put out into the world that is going to stand the test of time, join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and Instagram @DrMeghanWalker to learn how you can take this vision and mission to the next level!

Think of this episode as working with a mindset trainer who is really going to help to pull you outside of your comfort zone and give you specific tactics on how to make that happen! Laura shares key insights around how we can live our lives full of purpose, how to combat imposter syndrome and self-doubts, which mindset pieces we need to put in place in order to become more effective leaders, how to discover our purpose, and how we can all live to our highest potential.

While I don’t like rules, I do believe that rules have a place in both our society and in our lives.
When it comes to living my own and being able to execute in alignment with my own values, I leverage rules from a unique stance. A few years ago, I read an incredibly impactful book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms, by Vishen Lakhiani. It changed my way of thinking around rules and “brules” (AKA bullsh*t rules; the rules society has created for us). Vishen contends, and I have observed, that if we are not clear on defining our own set of rules in life, we fall victim to these “brules” that are created by society.
Since this read, I’ve begun setting my own rules. What this has done for me in my own life is that it has created a set of boundaries and provided a framework that I’m committed to living by. In designing my own rules, I’ve learned how to play my own version of “the game” and live in complete alignment with my values, goals, and where I want to go. This is how I stay focused and know what actions to take in the heat of the moment.
Join me in this episode to learn more about setting your own rules, breaking the ones that don’t serve you, optimizing your focus and performance, and the five rules I am currently living by right now.
Key Takeaways:
[:43] About today’s solo episode!
[2:52] Why we need to be clear on setting our own rules in life.
[4:14] How I reevaluate my rules to ensure they align with my values and goals.
[5:45] The rules I set when I first set up my practice to create space and healthy boundaries in my life (and how they worked and didn’t work).
[8:30] How do we know when a new opportunity that comes our way is really in alignment with where we want to go?
[9:06] How rules become a framework — and why this is key to living your life in alignment with your values.
[10:34] Changing and creating your rules with the intentions that you set.
[11:06] The rules I am currently living by right now in Q2 of this year.
[11:30] My first rule: your health comes first.
[16:12] My second rule: I’m going to stop selling “me.”
[18:22] My third rule: no work on weekends.
[19:16] My fourth rule: clear your debt by July 1st.
[20:45] My fifth rule: make $10-million decisions and make decisions that relate to your impact goal of reaching 50 million people.
[23:57] Why it is so important to create your own rules so you don’t fall victim to society’s rules.
[25:14] Do you live by rules? What are the rules you live by? What are some of the rules you have chosen to make a priority for yourself over the course of this year? Let us know over on The Entrepology Collective Facebook page.

If this idea of creating a series of rules to live by resonates with you, I encourage you to take the steps to begin putting your own rules into place.
Look at where you want to go, understand the goals that you have in the next year (and the next three years); understand what you want to happen with respect to your health; happiness, and family; and decide whether or not there are a few key rules that you can choose to live by that will change the way you play the game.
Do you live by rules? What are the rules you live by? What are some of the rules you have chosen to make a priority for yourself over the course of this year? Join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker!
Today I am joined by my friend, Dr. Jordan Robertson! Dr. Robertson is the founder of Clarity Health Burlington, the host of the Women’s Health Unplugged Podcast, the curator of the funniest ND memes on her Instagram profile, @DrJordanND.
More than anything, however, Jordan is a critical thinker. She has a capacity to look at complex scientific issues and quickly pull out and discern what is relevant, what is evidence-based, and what we really need to know.
In our conversation, Jordan and I aim to take the elusive concept of “Let’s follow science,” and apply it to our everyday lives. Whether it’s conversations related to the pandemic, everyday headlines, or your particular health concerns, Jordan provides the framework you need in order to be able to think critically for yourself about the health information that is relevant to you vs. what you can leave by the wayside.
As a strong advocate for critical appraisal, Jordan truly goes deep in this episode and shares with us all that we need to know to really look at the evidence that is provided to us and ensure that it is applicable. We talk about women’s health, explore some of the myths that exist in the ecosystem, and how to ask the right questions to get the information that you need to improve the overall quality of your life.

Today, I am joined by one of my very dear friends and colleagues, Dr. Michelle Peris. Together, we’re sitting down to have a “special edition” episode of the podcast where we explore new and novel approaches to healthcare. Dr. Michell Peris is a Naturopathic Doctor, community builder, speaker, women’s empowerment advocate, and mother. She is truly an innovator when it comes to her utilization of group programming to deliver better health outcomes.
Regardless of whether or not you work in healthcare, today’s conversation is incredibly important and relevant. As voters, individuals, and healthcare consumers, we have a huge amount of power to not only make choices around our own healthcare but to actually make choices around leadership whose policy ideas lend themselves to sustainability within healthcare. And more than ever before, we’re in a time and place for disruption, entrepreneurship, and innovative ideas to be brought to the table in our downstream conversations.
In this conversation, we take a deep dive into how entrepreneurship and outside-of-the-box thinking actually can lend solutions to a healthcare system that is costing us lives, money, and potential in our own health. We take a look at the incredible healthcare model that Michelle has developed around group health, its capacity to change people’s lives profoundly (and in a highly economically efficient manner), and how she is leading the charge on this new frontier of healthcare.
Michelle is absolutely going to blow you away with her mission to support women and the model of care that she has developed in her practice. I truly cannot wait for you all to tune in to this important episode!

[26:24] How group health is able to bridge the gap in healthcare with regards to people taking responsibility for their own health.
[32:38] Michelle explains what offering a group program can do in terms of shifting the landscape of what your career looks like as a practitioner.
[35:30] What it would cost for someone to participate in a group program vs. seeing a practitioner one-on-one.
[38:00] Why group is so much more powerful than one-on-one care and how it is on the frontier of delivering healthcare.

Today’s episode is super interesting for those of you who really want to understand what is “below the hood’ of your health!
I am joined today by Reed Davis, a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN). He has literally trained thousands of practitioners around the world on how to leverage functional testing, how to understand and go deep with functional testing to truly understand what’s happening inside someone’s body and someone’s health.
The key to what he’s doing is not necessarily all of the years he has spent in school; it’s the thousands of tests that he has performed on patients over the course of his career. Reed offers such incredible and unique insight in terms of what is going on with our bodies on a functional level — not lab testing that just pumps out a value — but lab testing that helps us to understand the intricacies of what is developing and what is going on in our health.
In this fascinating episode, Reed gives us a deeper understanding of our susceptibility to viruses, explains the metabolic chaos that can happen when we have hormones that are dysregulated, provides unique insight on the role of stress (and how it plays out in shifting our health over the long term), how our microbiome plays into the overarching status of our health and life, and much more!
If there is one thing that I hope you all take away from this episode it is that there is this huge opportunity to understand your bio-individuality and to assess your health. You’re going to be blown away by this conversation today with Reed Davis!
Key Takeaways:
[1:41] About today’s episode.
[3:23] Welcoming Reed Davis to the podcast!
[3:54] Reed shares about his background and why he is uniquely qualified to lead today’s conversation.
[7:04] About Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and the origin story of its creation.
[11:10] The role of functional testing in an active person who’s engaged in their environment versus genetic testing, and the relationship between these two streams.
[13:30] Reed speaks about the common patterns and sequences he started to see amongst his patients in common ailments — and what it indicates.
[17:18] Reed provides some high-level commentary on the broad global susceptibility right now (especially for viruses like COVID-19) based on environmental influences and global health statuses.
[20:46] Reed shares about the key functional tests that are at the top of his list.
[22:55] The major shifts in patterns that Reed has seen in the last 10 years through running functional tests.
[28:17] What is the most empowering question that patients can ask their practitioner?
[32:26] Patterns that Reed sees on lab tests that are correlated to a positive health status.
[36:41]The importance of “doing” rather than “taking” when it comes to health.
[38:41] Reed shares what he wishes that we would pay more attention to, as a society, that would move the needle globally on our health.
[40:28] Why taking radical responsibility for your health is the gateway to freedom.
[43:00] Reed Davis’ key performance indicators!
[47:30] Where to learn more about the important work Reed Davis is doing in the world!

I truly believe that the functional testing industry has the capacity to transform people’s health. It allows us to look at our health from a lens of not just what’s wrong, but how well our bodies are actually functioning.

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

Today I am joined by my good friend, Melanie Sutherland. Melanie is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, an entrepreneur, a mother, and an incredible advocate of women’s health.
And what we’re talking about today are the things that we wish women knew before they had a baby to optimize their health and optimize their capacity to execute in the world on the other side of motherhood. Traditionally, one of the biggest challenges in healthcare — and especially for those of us who are passionate about upstream preventative health — is that we’ve been trained by a healthcare system to be reactionary about health. We wait until the problem arises to deal with it. And when it comes to the changes that take place in a woman's body in that prenatal phase and how it influences health on the other side, there are some key elements that you need to be aware of in order to maximize that next phase of life.
What is it that every woman needs to know before they have their baby so that their body is in the best possible shape on the other side? This is what Melanie and I are delving into today. This is a powerful and important conversation and I am excited for you to have the opportunity to join in and meet Melanie and hear all of her incredible insights!
Key Takeaways:
[1:00] About today’s episode!
[2:24] Welcoming Melanie to The Entrepology Podcast!
[3:05] Melanie shares what makes her uniquely qualified to lead today’s discussion.
[6:55] Why we need to prioritize ourselves as part of the prenatal experience.
[8:56] The common narratives Melanie is seeing with women in her practice in regards to their pelvic floor and rehabilitation.
[11:44] What do we need to know in the prenatal phase? What can we be doing to make sure that our body is in the best possible shape?
[14:50] What it looks like to prioritize your health before giving birth.
[19:52] How stress and burnout play into our health as new moms.
[21:48] Melanie highlights some key components and tangible elements of health that women should be aware of that can be massive game-changers on the other side of giving birth.

Now that you’ve heard my top 10 list, I’d love to hear from you! What do you think are the most effective attributes of a CEO? Join me on Instagram @DrMeghanWalker to further this conversation!
Today, we’re talking about something that I think is fairly confident is universal for most of you who are tuning in — and that is this concept of having a busy brain. How do we shut off the constant firing? The input? The inboxes?! All of these pieces of information that our brains are handling on a daily basis?
To help facilitate this conversation there are a lot of experts that we could have brought on, but I believe there is no better expert suited to this discussion than Dr. Romie Mushtaq! Dr. Romie is an expert on brain health and a triple board-certified neurologist. As someone who is traditionally trained, Dr. Romie has been frustrated by what she has seen over and over again in clinical practice when it comes to the intersection of our hormonal health as women and how that influences the performance of our brains. In particular, she is focused on functional and integrative medicine, the intersection of our hormones and our brains, and how the choices that we make on a daily basis influence what’s happening above our shoulders.
In this episode, we’re approaching this conversation from an entirely different angle than we ever have before. Dr. Romie breaks down the concept of a “busy brain,” how we can begin to address it, what a “sensory reset” is and how it can lead us down the path of “turning off” our brains, and everything we need to know about the patterns of inflammation in the brain and how they show up.
This is a deeply fascinating conversation and I cannot wait for you all to tune in!
Key Takeaways:
[1:21] About today’s episode with Dr. Romie Mushtaq!
[3:00] Welcoming Dr. Romie Mushtaq to the podcast!
[4:03] Dr. Romie shares about her career, her story and path to integrative medicine, and why she is so uniquely positioned to speak about the topic of busy brains!
[6:55] How Dr. Romie began to recognize the connection between hormones and women’s brains in her practice.
[11:39] Dr. Romie speaks about where we are, in terms of acknowledging the intersection and influence of hormones on the brain.
[12:37] Do hormones influence the brain or does the brain influence our hormones?
[14:45] What is the “Busy Brain”?
[17:30] The patterns of inflammation in the brain and how to begin addressing them.
[23:36] You don’t have to be stressed in order to be successful as an entrepreneur!
[25:37] Dr. Romie shares about her recent launch, “brainSHIFT,” at Evolution Hospitality.
[26:11] Dr. Romie describes a part of the “brainSHIFT” protocol called the “sensory reset.”
[28:41] How to assess and address your Busy Brain!
[31:24] How to “turn your brain off.”
[34:24] The connection between our sense of smell and our lifelong memories and encoding.
[37:07] How to do a sensory reset that is perfectly aligned with what you need.
[37:32] Why Dr. Romie recommends we stay away from caffeine and alcohol.
[38:55] What to do at night to sensory reset.
[40:45] Why mindfulness is so key to alleviating a Busy Brain.
[43:58] Dr. Romie’s KPIs!

She is super interested in the strategic decisions and actions that we can take every single day to fully optimize our health.
While Julie and I want to talk about autoimmune risk and the things that we can do for our autoimmune conditions, we thought it would be really fun if we took all of the influences on autoimmune disease and talked about our favorite biohacks for each. What this means is: we are not keeping this episode exclusively for those at autoimmune risk or those managing that disease themselves. We’re keeping this super general and so that everyone listening will be able to use this information to influence and optimize their health!
In this fun conversation, we’re covering 10 topics and sharing our top biohacks for each one! 1. Sleep 2. Stress 3. Detox 4. Digestion 5. Immune health 6. Brain 7. Energy 8. Skin 9. Hormones 10. Autoimmune and inflammation risk. You’re not going to want to miss out!

We gave you so many biohacks in this episode! Which are you taking with you and applying in your own life? Let us know by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective!
Recently, a question I was asked on our Facebook group caught my eye and stopped me in my tracks. The question was: “Is there any hope as an ND in Ontario that I will ever make more than $100,000 a year by playing by the rules?”
What we’re going to do in today’s episode is break this question down. We’re going to uncover the root cause of what’s really behind that question. What it means on a big picture level, what it means on the ground, and what the six years of working with clinicians — helping them to build out their businesses — has taught me about the model that we are all trying to deploy. We have been taught that a 1:1 model is the best and only way to deliver care. But do patients actually want this model of care?
We’re going to focus on the problems, the challenges, and the broken elements of delivering naturopathic care, functional medicine, and strategic care in a preventative context. Even if you are not a clinician, I still highly encourage you to listen in to this episode! We will be exploring this overarching idea of crafting an offer that our customers actually want. This can be applied to any business — but especially with delivering strategic care.
“If you want to change your life, you need to change the way you are thinking about your life. If you want to change your practice, you need to change the way you practice. And if we want to reach more people without sacrificing ourselves in the process, we need to change the way we have always done it.” — Meghan Walker
Key Takeaways:
[:43] About today’s important episode.
[4:00] The reality of the 1:1 model of care… and why it doesn’t work for all (or even most) patients.
[6:40] My value proposition as a practitioner and how we can help more people not by lowering our prices, but by innovating our offer.
[7:40] The smarter, less expensive, more efficient way of delivering information so that we can focus on delivering strategies to our patients.
[9:10] The Biopsychosocial model of care.
[9:50] The delivery of transformational care vs. transactional care.
[10:28] The beautiful thing about stepping into transformational care.
[10:57] What we need to acknowledge as 1:1 practitioners: what is our unique selling proposition? What differentiates us from Dr. Google?
[12:06] What I’ve noticed with patients in my own practice that were not ready for or did not want 1:1 care.
[13:40] The four stages of readiness that a patient moves through on their journey to health and why we need to be crafting more than one offer (beyond 1:1 care).
[17:35] The first stage of readiness: the aspirational stage (and what we can deliver care to these types of individuals).
[20:15] The second stage of readiness: the empowerment phase (AKA the DIY phase), and what we can do to assist these patients.
[22:32] The third stage of readiness: the strategy phase and what you can do to help them move the needle on their health.
[25:08] The fourth and final stage of readiness: the growth phase — and how to keep your patients well (and not returning to your doors one year later with the same symptoms).

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

It’s officially March! The sun is shining, spring is in the air… and you know what that means: it’s the perfect time to talk about money! But don’t be scared off — we’re going to help you take control of finances! We’re talking personal empowerment, stepping into our “money power,” and the systems that we can begin to incorporate into our businesses so that we can take control of the financial part of our lives (and health) once and for all!
My guest today, April Stroink, is a profit-first certified practitioner. She works with small business owners to help them develop systems within their businesses so that their finances do not control them and they can truly move towards the state of freedom that all entrepreneurs desire.
In order to ultimately achieve solid health, we need to have a system that helps us manage our wealth. And more often than not, finances are a core source of stress. And I believe, in order to be an effective practitioner, we have to tackle our own demons with respect to our money mindset and management. For the sake of ultimately achieving strong health in our lives and in the world, we need to take control of our finances. I hope you’ll join me today in stepping into your full money power and potential!

What is your financial “why?” We often talk about our “why” as entrepreneurs and business owners… But what is your financial “why” for being an entrepreneur? Let us know by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective!
2020 was a doozy but the silver lining to it was that it really was this incredible opportunity for all of us to build resilience — resilience both psychologically and physiologically.
But what does resilience really mean? And not as this esoteric, beautiful quote on Instagram; but in real life. What are the tools one would need to deploy in their own life so that when tragedy strikes they have the capacity to handle it on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level? How do we build resilience into our lives so that it’s available to us when we need it most? How do we strengthen our resilience in order to come out of situations seeing the silver lining, the lessons, and being able to integrate that experience in a healthy way?
Joining me to answer all of these questions is Dr. Tara Guzzo; a Naturopathic Doctor, friend, and expert on the idea of resilience! In our conversation together, Dr. Tara shares a really compelling story of how her own need to overcome and integrate resilience led to the starting point of building out an incredible approach to resilience in her own practice. Not only does she share tips for building and strengthening resilience, but we also get into biohacking, mindset practices, and much, much more! I can’t wait for you to join us!

[9:37] Dr. Tara’s definition of what physical and emotional resilience is and looks like.
[10:15] How do we build resilience in the absence of trauma?
[13:05] What is the “reward” for putting in the work for building resilience?
[14:52] Are men more resilient than women?

Dr. Tara and I have a challenge for you! Before you open Instagram ever again, you have to stop and take 15 seconds to focus on gratitude. Instagram is a part of a lot of our daily rituals and if you’re not intentional when you open the app, your emotions are going to get hijacked. Let us know how this practice goes for you and what changes you notice by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective!
Today we are talking about a subject matter that is particularly important to me personally — and that is the idea and notion of leadership. I believe that there is a significant deficit of leadership in our world, our country, and our communities right now — and I believe that entrepreneurs are in a very unique position to step into that role.
Joining me in this conversation is the incredible Dani Kagan. Dani is co-founder of City MOGULS, a platform that celebrates, educates, and connects innovative entrepreneurs to inspire great leaders. She is also someone who has helped pull me outside of my own comfort zone when she invited me to walk down the runway at one of her events!
In this episode, Dani and I have an amazing conversation! We talk about the essence of leadership, the role of entrepreneurs, how leadership and entrepreneurship come together, and Dani’s personal journey as an entrepreneur with City MOGULS; from how they got started as an events company to curating an incredible community and launching a membership on the other side.
There are so many gems of wisdom jammed into this episode and I’m so excited for you to join this conversation with Dani Kagan!

[11:20] How Dani defines leadership and about one of the leaders she looks up to the most.
[13:26] How does Dani identify incredible leaders?
[14:48] Simple doesn’t always mean easy (especially when it comes to leadership).
[16:16] Patience: a key attribute that all leaders should have.
[17:00] A key commonality between those who are able to build big, successful businesses and platforms.
[18:47] How Dani was able to build this membership component of City MOGULS; what it looks like, what it includes, how she has leveraged a following into something that is able to be monetized, and why she thinks it has been so successful.

As women, we are sitting on a goldmine of capacity but we never have the conversations that unlock our inner goddess. This conversation kick starts the unlocking process by identifying the blocks we women face and puts forth strategies that enable us to embrace our divine feminine.
This is the third time I have invited Dr. Stephanie Estima to be a guest on the show. I continue to ask her because she has a wealth of knowledge regarding women’s health and wellness. Dr. Stephanie shares the essential points from her new book, The Betty Body: A Geeky Goddess' Guide to Intuitive Eating, Balanced Hormones, and Transformative Sex. Her unique perspective is supported by all aspects of being female including how women are affected by the stark contrast of attempting to negotiate our way through the patriarchal, male-based systems in place today.
Be sure to tune in for this episode as we dive deep into how women can take control of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. We discuss intuitive eating, how to listen to our bodies on a cellular level to feed them to contribute to our divine state, and navigating through our multidimensional operating system that we are only on the brink of understanding how to utilize.
Key Takeaways:
[3:48] Stephanie was driven to disseminate her information in a way a brick and mortar clinic couldn’t, so she went online.
[6:04] After transitioning from a physical practice, Stephanie had to grieve for a little while.
[7:05] Stephanie started the Better! podcast and is ready to “birth her book baby.”
[8:50] The premise of The Betty Body book is you are already a dream girl who is on the road to self-actualization.
[11:52] For females, a ketogenic diet can be an effective tool against brain fog or chronic low-grade inflammation.
[15:15] What is intuitive eating and how does it play into daily health at a cellular level?
[20:08] Women who try to fit into a patriarchal, male-based system do so to their detriment.
[23:43] The importance of a female-based morning routine.
[26:56] Women have more anxiety during the twilight hours. An evening ritual can alleviate stress and increase longevity.
[29:55] Advice about orgasms on popular media often excludes female needs.
[32:39] Being a woman is not a curse!
[35:50] Stephanie shares the best time for women to ponder critical decisions.
[39:00] Three tips for women to heighten intuition with self and care for their bodies in a whole new way.
[42:23] Negative self-talk is dangerous.
[43:51] Stephanie’s book pick, Breath is a must-read.
[45:18] Stephanie’s favorite health hack.
[46:45] Stephanie’s purpose is to help women heal their feminine energy.
[47:55] The genetic and environmental aspects of being an entrepreneur.

Do you keep a work schedule that physically, mentally, and intuitively feels wrong? Have you considered what type of schedule would better fit your body’s natural cycle? What impedes you from relishing in your divine feminine?
Let us know by joining the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!
Today we are discussing a subject matter we have never discussed on The Entrepology Podcast before — and I’ve got to say, I think we covered it super well and really thoroughly!
My guest, Stephanie Massey, is a cancer survivor, a mother, a wife, a writer, and the daughter of a breast cancer survivor. She is also a certified cannabis educator. And what we’re talking about today is all things cannabis! How do we use it medicinally? What has been the evolution of it becoming regulated in a Canadian market? How can we leverage it in our every day lives? And how do we move beyond the stigma surrounding it from the war on drugs, and instead, into the mindset of using it as a purposeful tool?
Be sure to tune in for this episode as we unpack cannabis; from the ins and outs of getting started with it, its role on our health and our endocannabinoid system, to how we can incorporate in a greater wellness plan, and the physiology behind how it can impact our mental, physical, and psychosocial health.
Key Takeaways:
[1:15] About today’s episode with Stephanie Massey.
[3:15] Welcoming Stephanie to the podcast!
[4:00] Stephanie shares her journey and why cannabis has become such a central part of the work that she does with patients and clinicians.
[9:10] Where to start with cannabis when you don’t know the resources or language around it. Stephanie also explains the science behind the pain relief cannabis has to offer, and the difference between CBD and hemp.
[15:26] Why you should as a clinician should be taking a look at cannabis.
[16:44] What science has found about the endocannabinoid system.
[19:15] What else has a direct impact on our endocannabinoid system?
[20:02] Why would we want to influence our endocannabinoid system?
[20:54] Where and how to start if you’re curious about exploring cannabis (either recreationally or medicinally).
[24:00] The spectrum of influence that cannabis can have in the areas of health and wellness.
[28:05] Not a quick fix: why you need to have patience (and curiosity) when it comes to exploring cannabis.
[31:49] Cannabis is not the end-all-be-all solution: why you need to incorporate cannabis as part of a greater wellness plan and not only use cannabis.
[33:40] The non-medical side of cannabis: why you may want to try it recreationally and how you can navigate this space.
[38:02] What makes a more “chilled out” cannabis product vs. a more “energetic” one? How do you find out what works for you?
[41:20] The benefit of going with a balanced cannabis product (similar or equal parts THC and CBD).
[42:17] The different ways to consume cannabis.
[50:13] Stephanie’s key performance indicators!

Thyroid disease is becoming more and more pervasive in today’s world — one could even say, epidemic. In today’s interview with my good friend, Dr. Christianson, we shed some light on exactly why this is.
Dr. Alan Christianson is a licensed Board Certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who has focused almost his entire career on thyroid care.

Dr. Christianson has also been featured on Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and The Today Show.

You have to check in with yourself in order to truly be in alignment with how you want to be living your life. Otherwise, it’s way too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of running your business. Are you holding yourself accountable and checking in with yourself? How are you spending your time? What are you taking action on? It should all be in alignment with how you want to be living your life.
Kate and I would love to know about the systems you are putting in place to check in with yourself and stay accountable, or, if you weren’t a “systems person” before, are you thinking of converting? Let us know by joining the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!
It’s super easy for us as entrepreneurs and go-getters to take the same approach that we do in our business into every aspect of our lives whether it’s food, raising your children, exercise, etc. Whatever it is, we do it with a level of swift efficiency and in an effort to maximize our results.
In this episode, we’re talking all about exercise… but through the lens of a completely different philosophy than one we’ve explored before on this podcast. My guest today, Samantha Kellgren, is an expert at building out exercise, fitness, and movement plans that actually align with our intuitive need to move. She emphasizes that it is not about “How do I go harder and faster every time?” But instead, about building a movement plan that connects to our needs at any given moment that actually enables us to fall in love with exercise again and acknowledges the rest and restoration that our bodies need to be able to perform at their best.
This was a fascinating conversation (and timely as we head into the new year!) I know you’ll enjoy this one just as much as I did!

My guest today, Lisa Goldberg, is a nutritionist with a specific expertise in understanding the mind-body connection to eating. As a weight loss coach, she speaks a lot about emotional eating in her practice. And today, we are really going to unpack the many different facets and features that we need to address if we’re going to start to break the cycle of emotional eating.
For people who have experienced diets on and off their entire lives, this interview is entirely for you. Not only do we talk about the mindset pieces that need to be in place to break the pattern of how we are eating and how we are engaging in our relationship with food, but we also start to break down some of the tactics, techniques, and conversation starters as we engage with our family of origin with respect to how we are eating and how we are choosing to honor ourselves going forward.
Lisa’s philosophy is really simple: it’s not about having a specific diet to lose weight; it’s about addressing your relationship with food. If this is something that you’ve always been curious about, I promise you will not be disappointed in today’s conversation!

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

Let us know how it goes by joining the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!

We had a really interesting conversation in this episode all about the opportunity that is sitting at all of our footsteps as evolved, enlightened, awoken humans. As innovators; the ones who are going to be able to help rebuild the world on the other side, we have this huge opportunity right now (both for us as individuals and the world) to heal. Dr. Louise and I talk about the confluence of these two opportunities as well as what we need to do as individuals so that we can better serve as leaders in a world that needs our energy tremendously right now.

Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

As we head toward the end of 2020 and into 2021, we need to embrace a sense of courage as entrepreneurs. We need to lean into the fact that the world has changed, and that now — more than ever — give a platform and a voice to our ways of thinking, the gifts that we have, and the capacity for impact that sits inside of all of us. We need to share with individuals how we can help change their lives.
I truly feel that this is the time for entrepreneurs and that the single most differentiating factor for those who are going to make it through the next 24 months (vs. those who will not) is simply going to come down to whether or not you are willing to make courageous choices every single day.
We need to tap into this notion of courage that sits inside of all of us. What will you be doing to become a more courageous you? What is one step you will be taking to push yourself closer to making more courageous choices every single day? Join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and let us know!
In today’s episode, we’re going to be covering body, badass, and business all in one integrated topic. This is a topic that is critical to us as women and entrepreneurs who want to have an impact in this world — money. In particular, we are talking about our own personal management of money; how to start with that, how to lean into it, and why it’s one of the most critical things we will decide to take ownership of in our entire lives.
For far too long — despite us identifying as entrepreneurs and having our own businesses — far too many women are outsourcing the management of their finances to someone else in their family. So today, we’re talking about taking back and reclaiming that element of our wealth, our health, our business, and our personal empowerment.
Joining me in this conversation is my longtime friend, Jackie Porter. As a financial planner and a certified financial manager, she shares her important perspective as we delve into why managing money and leaning into the finances of our family is as much a feminist issue as it is about planning for our future; it’s a matter of self-worth and absolute importance.
Key Takeaways:
[1:01] About today’s episode.
[2:35] Welcoming Jackie Porter to the podcast!
[3:23] Jackie shares about who she is, what she does in the world, and why she is so incredibly passionate.
[8:18] How our parents program our money mindset and habits, and the importance of having these conversations around money literacy.
[10:53] Why we desperately need to be having more open conversations around our finances and educating around debt management, saving for retirement, cash flow management, credit, and overall financial management.
[12:25] Understanding OPM: how to leverage and invest other people’s money.
[13:39] The financial fundamentals that women need to know about.
[22:01] Understand how you can invest, not save, to multiply your wealth!
[24:00] Why you need to stop outsourcing your security.
[26:27] Addressing financial abuse and why outsourcing your security is a fundamental issue of women’s rights.
[28:39] Jackie’s key recommendations on where women can get started with developing their financial literacy.
[36:41] Sharing a story of the impact that taking responsibility for your finances as a woman can have.
[38:21] The importance of modeling financial literacy for your children.
[39:20] Jackie’s key performance indicators!
[44:30] Where to find more about what Jackie is up to!
[45:18] Thanking Jackie for joining the podcast!

We all have these certain ways of thinking that are entrenched and ingrained in who we are as an individual, as a family, and as a society. And today, we are breaking these down, we are calling them out, and we are holding ourselves accountable to reach our highest potential.
Having had some incredible conversations this year with some powerful female leaders (and, through doing my own soul-searching), I’ve really been able to get in touch with some of the key concepts that are holding us back. What I’ve come to discover — and what I’ve been able to pull together for all of you — is that there are five key limiting beliefs that I truly believe are pervasive within our ways of thinking that are holding us back from our potential for impact as entrepreneurs.
I really believe that 2020 can be a year that is a gift to all of us — but it requires that we lean into it. So I urge you to join me in this episode as I unpack the five limiting beliefs that you need to overcome in 2020!
Key Takeaways:
[:17] About today’s episode.
[1:01] The five limiting beliefs that we need to address in 2020 that are holding us back (and how we can address and conquer them).
[2:21] Limiting belief #1: Helping people means not earning what you are worth.
[5:48] Limiting belief #2: Confidence takes time.
[8:23] Limiting belief #3: Boundaries make you a b*tch.
[10:30] Limiting belief #4: Challenges and hard things mean that you are on the wrong path.
[13:19] Limiting belief #5: Investing in yourself costs too much.

So many of us are simply okay with having poor sleep and pushing through it. But when we’re working from a foundation of poor sleep, we’re never going to be able to achieve our optimal state of performance in life. Our health and overall happiness actually start with sleep.
After listening to this episode with Dr. Leigha Saunders, how are you going to make the commitment toward better sleep? Are you going to make sure your bedroom is a sanctuary for decompressing and relaxing? Try putting your phone on airplane mode? Have less screen time two hours before bed?

As a busy entrepreneur and someone on a mission with their life, this is an area that so many people, especially women, need to look at. If you’re beginning to plan a family or are currently on your fertility journey I highly recommend you tune in for this one!

If you want to carry on this discussion and meet other women who are equally passionate about their business, mindset, and health, I want to invite you to come join us over on The Entrepology Collective, our free Facebook group.

Today’s topic is a little bit different from our usual — but I’d venture to say that it is one that actually impacts all of us. And now, since so many of us are now working entirely online from our homes, the effect is even greater.
My guest today, Risa Suzuki, is a Building Biologist and an expert in EMF — electromagnetic fields. She’s also the author of the What the EMF?: How to Protect Your Home from EMF Exposure, Improve Sleep, Reduce Anxiety, and Live a Happier, Healthier Life!
This topic of EMF has a peripheral penetration into all of our lives but it is not one that we love to look at. It is an inconvenient truth for many of us. There is no doubt that the electromagnetic frequencies that we are exposed to have an impact on our health and bodies.
What I loved about my interview with Risa today was the opportunity to start to break down what we need to know related to EMF and where we can take concerted action so that we can be informed citizens in a WiFi-connected world. When you know better, you can do better; and in this episode, Risa shares how we can begin to implement strategic changes, protect ourselves in compelling ways, and, overall, live a healthier and more energetic life.
Key Takeaways:

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

Before there was functional medicine and before there was biohacking, there was a system of medicine that originated in Germany called biological medicine, now known as bioregulatory medicine. This is a system of medicine that goes even further upstream to truly understand the root cause of what’s going on in your system.
If the idea of optimizing your health is something you’re fascinated by, then my guest today is someone you’re going to want to listen to. Since graduating from Bastyr University as a Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Christine Schaffner has worked to create a new kind of health journey, co-creating the world-renowned Sophia Health Institute with her mentor, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. Dr. Christine has cultivated unique skills and very advanced knowledge of uncommon treatment protocols like frequency and energetic medicine. She has also worked with elite practitioners treating chronic disease and persistent Lyme. Dr. Christine strives to improve access, outcomes, and speed of recovery for patients wherever they may be on their health journey.
This was an incredibly fascinating conversation. I can promise you: this episode will change your life.

I used to ask everyone the same question at the end of every Entrepology Podcast, and that was: ‘What does your morning routine look like?’ But, for a while, I stopped asking it. And not because I wasn’t curious, but because I had this slight sense of shame around the fact that my morning routine had fallen apart.
Fast forward two years and a lot of stress later, I realized that my morning routine was not working because I was trying to copy the routines of other entrepreneurs with completely different lives than me! Now, I’ve finally found the perfect routine that works for me and optimizes both my workflow and my creativity — and I want to share it with all of you.
So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing how I crafted my morning routine, the small shifts that I made that got rid of my early morning distractions, and my step-by-step morning routine from the moment I first wake up!
Key Takeaways:

[4:03] The first key learning point I’ve recently discovered about routines: alone time at the start and the end of the day.
[5:05] The second key learning point I’ve discovered about routines: planning reduces anxiety.
[6:10] The third thing I realized: exercise is the most important part of my creative process for my business.
[7:00] How I began crafting my morning routine.
[7:52] My intentions and goals for my morning routine and the distractions that were pulling me off track.
[8:49] A small shift that I made in my morning routine that eliminated the distractions I was experiencing in the morning.
[9:27] The way that I broke up my morning routine, based on my goals, intentions, and distractions.
[11:01] A key piece in my new morning routine: laying out my plan and getting organized the night before.
[13:11] Another key piece: waking up early by having effective sleep.
[15:06] What my morning ritual looks like right after I get up at 5 a.m.
[17:44] My morning routine from 5:30–6:00 a.m.
[18:55] What I do from 6:00–6:30 a.m.

My challenge to you this week is to not only plan out your morning routine... but to actually give it a go! Let me know what you’re building into your morning routine and how you’re making the commitment to see it through. Let’s continue the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!
If there’s one good thing that has come out of this pandemic, it’s that we’re seeing with more clarity than ever, the parts of our society that are broken. No longer can we sweep things under the rug, because the rug has been pulled out from under us.
Notwithstanding all of the conversations we’re currently having within our society, there is one area — especially as a parent with children heading back to school — that requires a new lens. And that is our education system. The days of kids going to school from 9–3 dates way back to the industrial revolution; a time where one parent was definitely staying at home to care for those kids. It is obvious that this is a system ripe for disruption and one that requires a new lens.
My guest today, Heidi DeCoux, is focusing on exactly this. She is not an educator by background, but, in fact, an entrepreneur. She has an incredible vision for changing this world through education by looking at the outcome that we all wish we could have started our entrepreneurial journey from.
As we are all looking to a new school year, think of this as a tremendous opportunity to try something new on for size. Heidi is going to rock your world and disrupt your vision for what education can be!
Key Takeaways:
[1:29] About today’s episode!
[4:00] Welcoming Heidi DeCoux to the podcast!
[6:20] Who Heidi is, what she is up to, and why she is the perfect person to talk about this topic today!
[9:33] How Heidi and I first had this conversation about reinventing the education system.
[10:40] What happens when an entrepreneur builds a school? Heidi shares her education model for Illuminated Life School.
[17:30] How do we take Heidi’s education model and integrate it into the requirements that individuals need to have as they step into the world?
[22:15] Sharing a personal story that underscores the importance of all that Heidi is doing.
[24:08] Heidi shares why and how they’re teaching deep financial intelligence.
[27:01] How are families who don’t have the financial means able to access the school?
[28:32] Heidi explains what their curriculum and method of teaching looks like as compared to the Montessori curriculum.
[32:24] Does Heidi have any online resources currently available to help students and their parents during this pandemic?
[33:30] Heidi shares the vision for what both the physical and virtual schools will look like worldwide when they open them in 2022.
[35:20] The main tenets and core pillars of the Illuminated Life School.
[40:14] Heidi shares what she is bringing to the table as an entrepreneur by background.

And for those who have been eating a certain way for a long time, would you be willing to challenge your own eating dogma if it meant you would actually feel better? Are you interested in breaking the rules of the diet you are on, in a quest for even better health? Are you sticking to your diet because you identify with it or because it is making you feel your absolute best? Let’s continue this conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!

The food choices we make every single day provide an opportunity to reorient our own personal leadership over and over again. And part of leadership is acknowledging when you need to make a change (because there’s rarely one thing that is going to serve you for your entire life). Marni’s journey really speaks to this. We do not need to be dogmatic with our diets; ultimately, it is important to simply do what is best for you and makes you feel your best.
Marni and I would love to hear about what your current diet looks like and where you see there could be room for improvement. Follow-up with us on The Entrepology Collective and let us know!
We’ve got a little bit of ‘body’ and ‘badass’ coming at you this episode with a very dear friend of mine, Jen Oliver. I’ve known Jen for over 25 years and I now have the pleasure of working with her on a nearly daily basis as she is the Director of Coaching under the Entrepology umbrella!
And, in addition to working with us as part of our team, Jen also has her own amazing gig going on! She is the host of the FitMama Podcast as well as the curator and leader of the FitMama movement. And while Jen started her career talking about fitness and core health, she’s now transitioning into some new elements through her work — namely, bringing self-pleasure, self-worth, and embracing the elements of who we are as women into the conversation.
This was such a fun and enlightening conversation! We really dove deep into some incredibly important topics. Jen spoke about the work she is doing with her clients in transforming the core of motherhood, how we can get started on our own journeys of accepting our bodies as they are, how we can become more empowered and confident as women and mothers, how to begin exploring these ideas of sensuality and sexuality, and much, much more.
I’m sure, when you listen to this episode, that you are going to be challenged, uplifted, entertained, deeply curious, and most of all, inspired.

In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements.

Whether you’re single or have a partner (or partners), you can get started on the journey of bringing in more sensuality, sexuality, self-love, and self-acceptance into your life. This week, we’re challenging you to do some self-exploration and to let us know what your biggest takeaways were from today’s podcast! What did you learn? What are you going to try out? How did it turn out for you? Follow-up on The Entrepology Collective and let us know!
Since April 2020, the employment of women in Canada has dropped by 7%. Over that same period, the employment of men has dropped by 3%. In fact, as we sit here in July of 2020 we are seeing the lowest level of employment of women in over three decades in Canada.
As you know, this is a podcast about innovation, badassery, health, and entrepreneurship — and I would be remiss if we did not talk about this situation going on in the world right now as it pertains to elevating the voices of women as entrepreneurs and leaders.
So, on today’s podcast, I am going solo to explore the opportunity we have to create a new future. Let’s start this conversation and be the catalyst for change as we begin to move into a post-pandemic world.
Key Takeaways:
[:19] About today’s episode.
[1:41] The differences between the conversations men and women are having around the pandemic.
[4:20] How we can test whether a system is truly working well and how this pandemic has provided us with an opportunity.
[5:25] One of the challenges we are facing right now: balancing our life and our children’s school day.
[10:57] The glaring disparities within our society that COVID-19 has shed a light on.
[11:21] The two primary sources of stress I see in adults that I work with, in a clinical context.
[12:30] My proposition regarding the school system/society issue and how we can provide a better future for our children.
[15:27] What I’m aspiring for my life and my children’s lives to be like on the other side of COVID-19.
[16:37] My intention behind this conversation.
[17:28] What I would love from all of you: let’s carry this conversation forward. This is the future I see for us as female entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders.

My intention behind today’s conversation, more than anything, is to begin to drive forward a conversation with all of you. You are all individuals who believe in something bigger and have a capacity for thinking outside of the box.
Let’s carry this conversation forward over on The Entrepology Collective and elevate the voices of female entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders.
Let’s get super honest. Addressing your business, your body, your balance, your inner-badass — none of these things are possible if you are in a state of chronic pain. When that headache, back pain — or whatever pain you are experiencing — emerges, everything else is moved to the side.
My guest today, Dr. Daina Patel, is a chiropractor and an expert in preventing chronic pain. She works with high-performing women, in particular, to address all of the lifestyle pieces that are either perpetuating the pain that they are feeling or to prevent the pain from manifesting in the first place. In this episode, she breaks down this notion of prevention and addressing chronic pain in a really comprehensive and amazing manner.
With all of us sitting around more than ever due to the current global pandemic, it’s especially important that we know about these key pieces of chronic pain prevention. Tune in with Dr. Patel and me to learn more about how to holistically approach the management and prevention of chronic pain, how your psychological state can manifest physical pain in the body, and the pieces you can begin to put into place immediately to perfect your posture, prevent pain, and optimize your performance!

There is one of two things that happen when you come out of your doctor’s office and are given a diagnosis. You can either, a) blindly follow their suggestions and mindlessly take the prescribed medication for your aches and pain or, b) you can sit back and ask yourself the most empowering question possible:
“What is it that I can actually do to actively move the needle on my own health?”

This notion of anxiety is not only something that is completely relevant (considering everything going on in the world right now), but it’s also, in particular, extremely topical within the entrepreneurial population as it is one of the most pervasive symptoms that we encounter!

Are you feeling stuck with anxiety? Is it impacting your life and the way you function day-to-day?

And be sure to follow up with us on The Entrepology Collective by letting us know how you will be putting her five key pillars of performance in place (nutrition, sleep, exercise, mindfulness, and connection) to better manage your anxiety!
My guest today, Mary Hyatt, is a life and business coach. She helps her clients become awake to their feelings; aware of their thoughts, patterns, and habits; anchored in feeling confident in who they are; and aligned with identifying their voice and desires.
What I loved most about the conversation Mary and I had today were her teachings and insights around how we, as women, can harness the power of our emotions in the work that we do as parents, entrepreneurs, and go-getters in this world. Mary shows through the work that she does that we do not need to numb out, suppress, or deny our emotions in order to work harder, better, or more efficiently. The real power comes from harnessing our emotions and leveraging them in what we do.
In this episode, Mary shares her personal journey with understanding her emotions and the beautiful transformation she experienced once she understood and acknowledged her emotions and how they showed up in her body. She shares how we can tap into our emotional body, how we can understand and recognize the warning signs before getting to a place of burnout, how we can begin to cultivate self-awareness around checking in with ourselves and our emotions, and how we can learn how to become truly present and true to ourselves.
Mary’s words are profound and her insight is incredible. It is truly my pleasure to introduce you all to Mary Hyatt!

[19:47] Mary shares why she thinks some people are afraid of experiencing the full spectrum of emotions that we all experience as humans. She also shares how we can begin to expand our emotional vocabulary and become more in tune with it.
[25:02] Mary speaks about how giving people back control and vocabulary over their emotions is a significant part of her work as a life and business coach. She also shares about the direct correlation between burnout and disconnection from emotions that she often sees amongst the female entrepreneurs that she works with.

Experiencing the full spectrum of emotions is part of the human experience. We are more empowered when we can accept and understand our emotions rather than deny them or numb ourselves out. A key tool in taking the first steps to better understanding our emotions is to expand our emotional vocabulary. We are more than just ‘sad,’ ‘happy,’ or ‘mad.’ Mary and I would love for all of you to try and expand your emotional vocabulary by spending time reflecting on the nuances of the emotions you feel throughout your day and journaling them down. Take the time to identify their complexities and acknowledge their existence. And be sure to let us know how this exercise goes for you by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
The story of my guest today is so compelling and such a beautiful example of how our bodies have the capacity to not only heal physically but heal us on an emotional level as well.
When Amanda Campbell was in her 20s, she had found herself in a hospital bed nearly crippled with multiple sclerosis. Having arrived at that state, she recognized that she had spent the few years previous in denial of her symptoms and the messages that were coming through her body.
In this episode, Amanda shares with us the shift in mindset that she had and how she got there, how to access your resilience (regardless of facing adversity), and how she’s been able to leverage these two pieces (mindset plus resilience) in moving forward to build a successful business and help other people overcome difficult situations to live their lives on their terms.
It was truly a pleasure having this conversation and I cannot wait for you all to learn more about resilience, how a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters (from our body’s ability to repair to how happy and resilient we are to how connected we feel), and how we can live a balanced life that allows for incredible health and growth both physically and mentally.

More About Amanda Campbell
As the founder of Bend Like Bamboo, Amanda is one of Australia’s leading experts on resilience, running a leadership program with quarterly exposure to some of the fresh thinking and novel insights into the world of resilience.
Amanda believes that flexibility builds resilience. Overcoming adversity, Amanda discovered that a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters — our body’s ability to repair, how happy and resilient we are, and how connected we feel.
“How we think and feel and believe is a mirror image of how we perceive our environment, how we will show up when tested, and the health of our body.” — Amanda Campbell
With a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at age 24 and a paralysis at just 29 years old, Amanda was faced with never walking again. She was stretched to her limit, emotionally and physically. With no choice but to succeed and the odds stacked against her, Amanda had to change her mind about what could be possible to create new results.
Embracing a balanced approach, Amanda had to embrace uncertainty and change to discover what she was made of. Learning how to walk and run again led to her transforming her mind, body, and life. Now a decade on, Amanda’s passion is to inspire others to embrace their obstacles as an opportunity to awaken their potential whilst maximizing health.
Amanda truly believes when given the right environment, the mind and body are capable of producing incredible results. Amanda founded her private practice Bend Like Bamboo in 2013. A year later she co-founded her second startup Nourissh that received funding from VinoMofo with a focus on nutrition. As a proud MS Ambassador, Amanda has built a career speaking about resilience, promoting wellbeing, and potential.

There is no time like the present to reflect on your life and the ways in which we can begin to shift our mindsets to allow for a healthier us. I would love for you to take a look at Amanda’s formula for resilience once more and see if you can apply it to your own life and use it as a tool for growth.
Anchor - Letting Go + Flexibility = Resilience

EDITORIAL AMENDMENT: at 4:28, Meghan refer's to Dr. Michelle Presniak as a Brain Expert. While Dr. Presniak has a high degree of experience in this area, regulatory considerations in Ontario prohibit the use of the term expert. We apologize for any confusion this may have created
As many of you know, one of the key things that I focused on in my own clinical practice was the health of entrepreneurs and go-getters. In addressing their health, we first worked on restoring pre-existing issues; next, we focused on health optimization; then, we ultimately focused on optimizing the functionality of one’s brain. And while we had a tremendous assortment of tools at our disposal in order to make that happen, my guest today is discussing one that I had ZERO exposure to in my own practice!
Dr. Michelle Presniak is a Clinical Psychologist. Her particular focus is around the utilization of neurofeedback to help individuals move to their next level with respect to their brain health. She works with individuals who are managing depression and anxiety, as well as those who are looking to optimize their brain health by providing them with the feedback that they need to begin moving the neuroplasticity of their brain to get them to that next level.
Now, if this sounds like something you really have no clue about… then that makes you and me both! This interview answered so many questions for me regarding what neurofeedback is able to provide and how it can help in so many unique scenarios. I learned about how we can move the needle on brain health, anxiety and depression, and more.
Whether you are looking to manage a situation or simply optimize the health of your own brain, I promise you, this conversation is going to be a compelling one for you!
Key Takeaways:
[1:55] About today’s episode with Dr. Michelle Presniak!
[3:55] Welcoming Dr. Presniak to the podcast!
[4:37] Michelle shares about her background as a Clinical Psychologist and why she has focused so heavily on brain health optimization and neurofeedback.
[8:40] What is neurofeedback? How does it work? And what does the process of obtaining neurofeedback from clients look like?
[12:38] When Dr. Presniak is using neurofeedback and working with patients who have experienced trauma, are they trying to build our new neural pathways, or are they trying to disconnect some of the associations they had with their trauma? Or is it something else entirely?
[14:11] How neurofeedback actually works from a physiological and anatomical level to facilitate changes within a patient’s brain.
[16:02] When Dr. Presniak is working with a client and has the opportunity to do neurofeedback, is she looking at a situation where she would be able to accelerate what could happen with talk therapy alone (i.e. they are working in conjunction with each other)? Or, is the neurofeedback used as a completely independent modality?
[18:00] For those with anxiety or depression, what can one expect in terms of a timeline of change? Or, is it a kind of treatment or support that one can expect to be engaged with indefinitely or for a long period of time?
[21:09] If children are given neurofeedback early in life, are they able to adapt much quicker than adults? What does this impact look like? How does it differ from the results they see with adults?
[22:25] Michelle shares her own journey and experience with neurofeedback and how it has helped her.
[24:24] In regard to this notion of increasing performance through neurofeedback, is it a matter of having more awareness and changing your behavior in response to your brain’s overactivity? Or, is it because you’ve increased the capacity of the brain in some way?
[26:21] How neurofeedback gives us more awareness around the subconscious learning our brains do.
[27:40] What happens for those who have a nondescript experience such as brain fog? Is it something people have reported changes on?
[30:07] Michelle explains how everything is connected to the brain and further addresses the causes behind brain fog.
[32:24] Michelle speaks about a common profile she often sees among women: the burnt-out brain profile.
[33:45] Your brain’s influence on sleep.
[35:49] Has Dr. Presniak seen an influence on chronic pain through neurofeedback?
[39:12] Michelle speaks about the initial assessment process when a client begins neurofeedback and the client’s overall experience getting neurofeedback.
[40:44] Discussing the profound impact that neurofeedback has on people.

What was your key takeaway from today’s episode? How do you want to optimize your brain health? Follow up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
This episode was really fun to record because I had the opportunity to interview a good friend of mine, Dr. Robyn Murphy! What we unpacked in this episode is, what I really believe, is going to be the new frontier of health and medicine.
This new frontier I’m talking about is this idea of ‘precision medicine’ and individualized medicine. When I first started my career, that meant that we listened to the individualized stories, symptoms, and experiences of our patients to craft a unique approach to their health. Nowadays, however, this idea of individualized care and precision medicine means that we’re able to look at the blueprint of your health; your actual DNA, to be able to understand how we can craft something that not only incorporates your life stories but enables us to address your health in a manner we never thought was possible.
Dr. Robin Murphy is truly an expert at dissecting the intersection between genetics and lifestyle medicine. As the Scientific Advisor for DNA Labs — a Toronto-based genetic company that does lifestyle genetic testing as well as pharmacogenetic testing — there is no better guest than Dr. Murphy to discuss this concept of individualized care and unpack how it is going to directly impact the lives of our patients.
Key Takeaways:
[:47] About today’s guest, Robyn Murphy!
[2:05] Welcoming Dr. Murphy to the podcast!
[2:39] Robyn sets the stage by sharing her story and what makes her uniquely qualified to talk about precision medicine and individualized care.
[4:11] Robyn shares the history of how genetic testing has been used in medicine.
[6:40] Robyn provides context on why genetic testing is so incredibly important — but it also isn’t the ‘end-all, be-all.’
[11:18] Why learning about these lifestyle genetics is so empowering in terms of taking control of your health.
[12:18] Robyn highlights the categories of genetic markers that are most commonly examined.
[14:27] Why it’s so crucial to work with a strategist to be able to dissect this information. Robyn shares how she clinically leverages this data to build out a unique lifestyle prescription for patients.
[17:38] When prescribing a patient a diet or lifestyle that is based on their genes, are they expected to adhere to it for the rest of their life?
[19:44] Robyn explains what epigenetics is all about!
[23:42] Robyn speaks about some of the research around the genetic understanding of mental health.
[29:42] Robyn provides her thoughts on pharmacogenomics.
[33:03] Robyn shares what genetic testing actually looks like in practice as well as the privacy laws around it.
[35:31] How to actually get this genetic testing done.

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

CALL TO ACTION
What are you doing to take ownership of your age? Let us know by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
Now is a more relevant time than ever to hone your sales skills and really bring out your authentic self while we are all stuck in quarantine.
My guest today is Nikki Rausch. She is a Sales Expert and the CEO of Sales Maven, where she helps entrepreneurs apply authentic selling tactics that don’t feel out-of-character to you and your business. Nikki also uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help her clients improve their business (and personal) relationships by better understanding the interaction between the brain and the body.
This episode is a call out to anyone who has ever struggled with sales or ‘selling’ their products or services. Do you avoid it at all costs or think it’s sleazy? Well, Nikki helps frame the narrative so that you don’t feel like you’re going against the grain. We have an amazing conversation about how to create a sales strategy that works with people and helps people, not pesters them or tries to aggressively force them into buying your product.
Key Takeaways:
[1:20] About today’s episode and guest!
[2:05] Welcoming Nikki Rausch to the podcast!
[2:55] Nikki shares a bit about her sales background.
[4:25] Despite being in sales, Nikki is an introvert!
[6:20] How do men vs. women sell differently?
[10:00] We have to be conscious in attracting our ideal clients and the only way we can do that is by putting ourselves out there.
[11:25] How can we better repel the clients we don’t want without feeling guilty about it?
[14:25] If you’re putting up roadblocks on people who want to hire you, that can really turn a potential and good client away.
[20:40] Selling isn’t about convincing people. It’s about understanding what’s the problem, the need, and the wants.
[22:15] Handing out your business card is not selling!
[26:55] Just because someone says no, it just means ‘not yet’. You’re not a bad person or that you have poor service offerings.
[32:35] How does Nikki organize her prospects?
[36:15] What are some of the common mistakes people make when trying to sell?
[39:45] Make your email blasts more personal. Write as if you’re writing to a person.
[40:45] Niikki answers some rapid fire questions!

CALL TO ACTION
Sales doesn’t have to be so scary! If you can hone in on just these three things, 1. What is the problem? 2. What is the need? 3. What is the want/desired outcome? You will be light years ahead of any aggressive salesman. Selling is something you do with someone to find out if you two are a right fit. It works both ways! What did you think of Nikki’s conversation today? Let us know how it goes by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
If you haven’t been following along for the past few episodes, then you might not know that you’re just catching the tail-end of a three-part mini-series all about mindset! So, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend you check out the two previous episodes that cover overcoming overwhelm and letting go of the limitations that are holding us back.
Today’s final episode in our mini-series is all about purpose — and not just from the lens that it is usually looked at. We’re actually going to be unpacking this concept of purpose from an entirely different perspective — one where it reveals itself to actually be the secret sauce to longevity, recovery, and good health!
In this episode, I’m going to be sharing with you the criteria that make up a strong purpose, the framework for not only discovering your purpose but also monetizing it, and the four Ps that need to be in place for you to begin your pursuit of purpose!
Key Takeaways:
[1:02] About today’s episode!
[2:30] What I’ve observed around purpose.
[4:28] What I want to talk about today: the difference between a purpose that is thrust upon you and a purpose that comes from within.
[5:15] What I mean when I talk about purpose and the Venn diagram that makes up the golden nugget of purpose.
[11:05] Sharing some examples from those who have run through this framework to discover their purpose and monetize it.
[13:50] Here’s what’s so cool about this notion of purpose: longevity and good health!
[16:16] The prerequisites that need to be in place in your life in order to start to pursue your purpose.
[19:04] Addressing kids in your relationship with purpose.
[20:01] A few of the other things that need to be in place for our pursuit of purpose: the four Ps of purpose.
[23:00] An exercise I do every day to continue working towards my purpose.
[23:55] The gift we’re given during this pandemic: time for contemplation and creating space in unlocking what our purpose is.

CALL TO ACTION
My call to action for you all today is to participate in the Venn diagram exercise to discover your purpose at timestamp 5:15-11:05. And remember, before you can do this exercise you have to have the four Ps in place: permission, personal, place, and priority. If you need a refresher, tune in from 20:00-23:00! Let us know how it goes by following up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
Continuing our mini mindset series, I want to focus on the all-important and extremely relevant topic that is ‘overwhelm.’ As soon as we went into lockdown, a lot of us thought we would have more time to begin working overtime. But for many of us, that idea soon came crashing down just days or weeks later. We may have had the best of intentions going into it all, but now things are beginning to spiral out of control with too many goals and projects to balance.
So on this theme of overwhelm, what I really want to talk about today are some of the key strategies we can implement to manage it. I’ll be sharing some of the strategies that I use in order to keep myself on track, strategies that many of my mindset students use to keep themselves on track, as well as some of the strategies that entrepreneurs that I look up to are using. I also address the question of when to know when to hire someone to help (or when you should begin to hand off some tasks!)
Key Takeaways:
[:57] About today’s episode!
[1:56] About our newest product launch from Clinician Business Labs: the Virtual Practice Tool Kit.
[4:03] What I want to address today and why the topic is so critical to consider right now.
[4:43] The first important note: everyone has different tactics when it comes to combatting overwhelm.
[5:31] The first step I take when I catch myself in a state of overwhelm.
[6:47] What I would like you to keep in mind as you listen to this episode.
[7:43] The first few key questions you should be asking yourself when it comes to overwhelm and your business.
[10:06] The first key question: What is the outcome you’re trying to achieve?
[11:40] The second key question: What timeline are we using for this execution?
[12:40] The third key question: What action do you need to take related to this project or outcome?
[13:39] The fourth question you really need to have clarity around: What order do you need to do all of these pieces in?
[15:18] An additional question you could ask yourself: Is there a way to make it easier?
[16:29] What to do once you know your answers to all of these questions.
[17:27] Key strategies that can help with the overall execution of your project or goals.
[19:48] What my most successful and productive days look like.
[24:05] How to begin taking action today with the Entrepology Time System and how to know when you should be delegating certain tasks to others.

CALL TO ACTION
“What outcome are you after? What timeline does it have to be executed upon? What action do you need to take? What order does this project need to be initiated in? What tasks can you hand off? And is there a way to make it easier?” These are all of the key questions I want you to be asking yourself following today’s episode to eliminate your overwhelm!

It’s been a while since I’ve last sat down to do a solo episode! And I don’t know about you, but the world has been a little bit of a crazy place lately!
So, what I want to do for today’s episode is to explore some of the key elements that are rising to the surface to me right now. This episode will be the first in a miniseries of three episodes where I explore some key ideas around mindset.
In this episode, in particular, we’re going to be taking a look at this notion of fighting for limitations. I’m going to be sharing what I’ve personally observed around this as well as how to really triage whether or not we’re stuck in a state of standing up for what we are wanting out of life or… if we’re actually caught in a state of paralysis. Ultimately, I want to help you enable a reorientation of the options that are available to you right now — both personally and for your business!
Key Takeaways:
[:40] About today’s solo episode (the first in a three-part series)!
[2:41] What we’ll be talking about in the future episodes of this mini mindset series.
[4:13] Unpacking this idea of ‘fighting for limitations’ and the few camps of people I’ve observed in the last several weeks.
[5:55] The interesting transition I’ve seen when it comes to people’s businesses.
[7:06] What happens when we fight for our limitations and what I mean by “work in this world that is of service.”
[8:30] How I know if my work is ‘working’ for me.
[9:38] The three criteria to know your business is working for you.
[10:38] The two questions I want you to ask right now about your business.
[12:00] A third question you could ask about your business to carry on with the work that you’re doing.
[12:28] Are you fighting for your limitations? Here’s how to know.
[13:47] Where we are right now and where we need to go.
[15:13] If this idea is resonating with you, here’s what I am encouraging you to do.

There are three key elements that entrepreneurs really need to look at in order to up level their brand: authenticity, visibility, and consistency. If you can assess your own brand and look at these three things, you’re off to a really good start! Ask yourself: ‘Am I consistent in the tone, feel, and language of my brand? Am I authentic in my message? Does it really truly represent who I am? Am I showing up consistently? Am I showing up online? Can people see me?’ Take some time to answer questions around these three key elements and let us know your answers! What are you doing well? And what do you need to improve upon? Follow up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!
It is an interesting time right now. And if ever we needed to call on our inner alter ego of badassness… this is the time to do it!
My guest today is Alison Taylor. She is the co-founder of the Jane app, an electronic health record platform and application out of Vancouver. Alison and I have known each other for a number of years and when we booked this podcast several weeks ago, we were not in the midst of managing COVID-19. Over the last several weeks, there has been a tremendous shift in our industry as healthcare providers and her need to transition and pivot rapidly as a business owner.
This episode is not about health or technology — it’s about opportunity. It’s about the chance that we all have as entrepreneurs to step into a higher role and the requirements and necessities that need to be in place in order for that to happen.
Alison is a seasoned entrepreneur. She thinks strategically and that’s been a part of her success. But the message that she shares today is so relatable to so many of us! It is truly my pleasure to introduce Alison Taylor to you all today!

More About Chris Smith
Chris is a fifth-generation AZ native. He was raised in a ranching-rodeo family and still competes in rodeos across the Southwest. His wife is his hero and his kids are his best friends.
Chris has always been fascinated with storytelling and influencing people his entire life. He started using storytelling to his advantage professionally in 2004 when he began a real estate career. Not long after that, he began in commercial real estate. That was when he had a HUGE realization. He realized that his success had more to do with his ability to listen, serve, and tell the story of who he was than it did with his knowledge about the industry or our service. Quickly, he became one of the top producers in the office and knew very little about what they did. This fascinated him to no end!
Long story short, Chris has had a few lifetimes of careers — everything from selling products and services to ideas and dreams. Along his journey, he has always succeeded by listening, serving and telling the story of who he was, not what he did. Somewhere along that journey, he had the most powerful realization of all — which can be summed up by his favorite quote by Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” He then found out why he was put on this earth; to help others get clear on what their brand stands for, the stories they should be telling, and how to build a culture people can connect with.
That is when he started kCross and their proprietary methodology: ‘The Campfire Effect.’
Chris has had the privilege of working with startups, small businesses, and emerging high-tech growth businesses, as well as Fortune 500 companies. He believes that if organizations were more intentional about what their brand stood for and could communicate that story with clarity, the impact and influence they would have on the world would be unstoppable.
Through kCross, Chris is spreading the Campfire Effect to organizations throughout the world!

Hang tight everybody! Today’s episode was a doozy! I was joined by Corey Deacon, the co-founder and Medical Director of Neurvana Health, a clinic in Calgary that focuses on brain health and something called Quantitative EEG (qEEG). Now, Corey’s credentials are exhaustive! He has a Doctorate in Natural Medicine, he’s a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and he’s a member of The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners Canada™.
Corey has extensive experience exploring how lifestyle has an effect on brain health. And not just brain health as it pertains to concussions or trauma, but as it pertains to anxiety, depression, ADD, and some of the more functional disorders that are quite frankly systemic in our population.
In this episode, Corey and I went deep into the science — we seriously geeked out on some of the things that you should be looking at in your own lifestyle, how you can start to make shifts on a daily basis, and the top three things that we are both seeing affecting people in a chronic way — and they are definitely not what you’d expect!
If you are interested in understanding how your brain can serve you at its highest potential and how you can preserve your brain activity very long into life, then this episode is designed especially for you!

Last week on the podcast I had the privilege of bringing on one of my closest friends and colleagues, Dr. Erin Wiley. In that episode, we shared that I’m going to be making some really significant transitions in my career which involve me stepping down permanently from private practice and working one-on-one with patients.
Throughout the last year, I’ve really taken the time to gain some perspective on how I want to spend my time and energy moving forward. And the one thing that I have always made a promise about is that no matter what I do with my career, I am more committed to the mission at hand than the model through which I serve that mission.
With that being said, I’m excited to be bringing you a solo episode this week to share all that I’ve learned in this transition and what I will be doing with my time, going forward. And, if you’re an entrepreneur looking to make some significant shifts in your own business or life, I also recommend tuning in to learn more about the process itself and how to go about such a huge, life-changing transition.
Key Takeaways:
[:20] About today’s solo episode.
[1:45] My ultimate mission with the work that I do.
[4:18] What I’ve been struggling with regarding my practice.
[6:09] My turning point for realizing that I needed to step down from my practice.
[10:32] Why I waited until now to make this transition.
[11:42] Why I am incredibly confident in Dr. Erin Wiley to take over my practice.
[13:33] What I’m going to start to do with my time going forward.
[15:15] Giving my thanks to all of you!
[16:31] My limiting beliefs around stepping away from my practice and how I overcame them.
[17:41] What these last five months have been like… and what I promise you moving forward.
