This week we're back with another installment in Real Wellpreneur series, I'm speaking with Susi Hately, yoga teacher and therapist with background in Kinesiology with a focus on Exercise Physiology, who trains teachers and health professionals on how to approach healing. We talked about burnout, how she developed her business, and also how her business has changed since having twins, (and how she manages to get it all done working 6-12 4 days per week!). I also have a little update from Wellpreneur's HQ As you could have noticed my work is really shifting towards connecting with the seasons, and using this connection with the nature around us, seasonal rhythms and just the natural cycles of the world to make our life and work easier. And this spring I ran a brand new beta version of the program called Alchemy & Action. It was fantastic! Now it's almost time for Summer and I'm just putting the final touches on Alchemy & Action: Summer Edition, I'd love to invite you to join us for it, we start Monday June 3!

If you're tired of the entrepreneurial 'hustle' and 'crushing it' mentality, try this instead. I'll share the approach I've used to make my life and work feel easier. To step into the flow, so that work feels nourishing, aligned and supportive. I'll teach you about the ancient concept of the wheel of the year, and give three strategies to connect with it, no matter what season it is where you live.

This week I have another great interview in Real Wellpreneur series, and my guest is Sachiko Marchand, holistic food coach, dietitian, nutritionist, and founder of Holistic Food Journey. Sachiko was actually one of my clients, and when we first met she was doing personal chef services and cooking classes in a few countries before settling down in Australia, but we transformed her business by shifting it online and allowing her to grow this worldwide community. She is now working less with having a lot more impact and generating more income, her work is much more fun, and she's spending more time with her family, which is her top priority. Sachiko is such an inspiration! She has proven that you absolutely CAN find time to grow your business even when you are having small children and take care of your family. She's experienced incredible growth in her business: she has a thriving online community, a few very popular courses, published book, and we talk about that whole amazing journey. Sachiko will share some of the financial aspects of growing her business. I think you'll find this interview really inspiring, especially if you feel like you can't balance the time between your work and your family or have trouble transitioning to growing your business from your day job. And actually when we finished the interview we kept chatting and talking about market research and how important it was for her while she'd been developing her programs - so I decided to record that part as well and add it to today's episode as I think you'll find it super valuable to hear how you can zero down on your audience. So get your notebook ready because there's tons of goodness in today's interview. I know you'll enjoy it!

Today I'm speaking with wellpreneur Meghan Dowd, the owner, creator and founder of Cado Ice Cream: paleo and vegan friendly ice cream made from fresh avocados. Meghan and I actually went to college together and I heard about her through one of our class Facebook groups, and when I saw what her business was and that she was a wellpreneur - I knew I wanted to have her on the show. So Meghan was working in LA, but she really wanted to move back to Iowa where she's originally from. The first business she started when she went back was kombucha and she's also a yoga teacher and runs a studio. Being in the wellness business already, eventually Meghan and her family recognized a serious lack in healthier, dairy free and vegan options in ice cream section, so they came up with Cado. It's the first time avocado has been used to make ice cream foundation and they have really revolutionized the food industry with their line of products. What we're talking about today is how she got started with her business, how she got her first big customer, and also how she balances her family life. She openly shares how it took a lot of trial and product testing until they've came up with the best recipe for their delicious treat. I think you are just going to love hearing from her, because even though she's really successful, she is a real down to earth wellpreneur. Meghan shares that she really values partnerships in her business, what it looks like to run a wellness business as a family with her mom and brother, and how she balances her multiple wellness outlets. If you are in a food or nutrition industry you'll also love her recommendations on some great resources where she finds inspiration and information.

This week we're talking about what happens when you fall out of love with your work. Have you experienced this feeling before? If this is something that resonates with you and finding that spark for the work you are meant to do feels like it's exactly what you need- you are in the right place!If the work you used to love, that used to give you a lot of satisfaction and growth inspiration just feels flat, and you just have no motivation to go forward in your workday it's definitely a sign that something needs to change. I know I've had this feeling and a lot of people from the community too, and i"m interested in exploring this issue and see how we can take that moment of falling out of love with your work and use that as a transformation. I'd love for you to join me on this topic and share your thoughts!

Or better said evolution of the wellness industry. This week I'm talking with an inspiring entrepreneur who strongly believes in ethical and sustainable sourcing of the wellness ingredients we're using today, especially turmeric. My guest is Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co. Sana was a food photographer who grew up in India, but it was while she was spending time in the US that she noticed the turmeric trend taking off, and realized that it really wasn't being responsibly sourced. In fact, most people had no idea where their turmeric was coming from and the farmers were really being exploited and certainly not compensated fairly for the products they were producing. There was also the matter of too many different varieties being on the market. So Sana took a big leap of fate and decided to start bringing some transparency into that supply chain which is about creating a supply of turmeric that is of an amazing quality, varieties that are traditional heirloom, but based on treating the people that are producing it well and compensating farmers fairly. We touch on so many topics, like how she got started with business and how she managed to launch it, what's wrong with the spice trade today, and what can we do to shed more light to how it's conducted and improve one of the most important basis of nutrition and wellness. And of course, you'll hear some great turmeric tips today, so stay tuned. I know that this is a very thought provoking interview, as it made me think about how even if you don't know much about the industry at first - you can think bigger, and if you feel passionate about it, just go after it. And I want you to know that there are many more talks to come that are also inspired by positive effects conscious entrepreneurs make in modern ever expanding wellness industry, which will perhaps help YOU realize how YOUR unique background can make you the perfect person for the business you are launching. I'm totally amazed by Sana's story and I hope that her example of following curiosity which turned into a dream business inspires you to dive deeper into your interests and see where that takes you.

I'm so excited to bring you this new series of interviews and solo shows about how to grow your business in the wellness industry, and how to be well as a wellness entrepreneur. So a big welcome back to all of you long time listeners and a huge hello to our new followers. I'll be sharing today some of my observations on the new trends in the industry and thoughts on how we can all do better, and stand in a way that's meaningful, soulful, and impactful. Starting off with my own example how and why some stereotypes I noticed in the industry triggered me and made me think how much of that is coming from the outside pressure of being the perfect example of what you are teaching and helping people to become, and how much of it is coming from within me and my own insecurities. So the focus of today's episode and this entire season actually is that the wellness is for everyone, and how we'll all be so much more successful if we're really being ourselves, vs. trying to be the perfect instagram idea of a wellness entrepreneur.

Happy New Year and welcome to Season 4 Finale! What an incredible year this has been! At Wellpreneur we interviewed the most amazing guests, released The Wellpreneur Planner and I had the pleasure of speaking at some pretty great events, one of which was UK Health Coaches Association Conference. The keynote speaker at the conference was Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, British physician, author, TV presenter and podcaster, best known for his TV show Dr. In the House. He's also the resident doctor on BBC1 breakfast show and a frequent radio guest and author of the bestselling book called The 4 Pillar Plan, and as we are recording this fantastic interview he is releasing his latest book The Stress Solution. But the main reason I called Dr. Chatterjee on the show is because he is a wellpreneur. As a physician he is regularly seeing patients, but what makes him a wellpreneur is the fact that he is looking at his career in a different light and he wanted to see how he could impact the most people, so today he is sharing his amazing career path from GP to reaching people on a much larger level: through television, radio, writing and podcasting. The other reason I was so eager to interview Dr. Chatterjee is because he is a huge fan of health coaching and strongly advocates for it to become integrated in regular health care, and because his books are such useful tools to wellpreneurs out there. It's really great to see such an influential physician talking about how health coaches and doctors can work together, not only in the UK, but in variety of other health care systems where doctors are either overworked, or they don't have the time or training to help patients make the lifestyle change which is something where health coaches can provide the most value. His vision is that there will be a health coach in every doctor's office within the next few years. We also talk about stress today, and the way Dr. Chatterjee is managing stress himself and how he is helping others reduce it. What I really liked is the idea of touch and using touch to help reduce stress. There's a lot of goodness in this episode so grab a cup of tea and join our conversation.

This week I'm interviewing Speech Diva D'Arcy Webb and we're talking about how to find your true voice, and how to really find the words that have power and speak your truth. Having your talk or a workshop feel like a party and using your time on stage to meaningfully convey your message is not something that comes natural to all of us. But what if public speaking could be fun? I know that Public speaking is a big dream and a great fear for many wellpreneurs, so when I met D'Arcy I just knew I had to have her come to the show and talk about making you feel more at ease when using your voice. And this interview comes I think particularly timely because we're approaching the time of the year when we'll be setting new goals, and for many of you these goals may include public speaking, so this week's chat will empower you and hopefully make you feel more at ease when using your voice to convey your message.

I'm having a fantastic interview for you today! I'm speaking with healthy food chef Alia Dalal. I met Alia several years ago and she was a member of one of my very first small group coaching programs called Wellpreneur Incubator. She is a personal chef and she was teaching cooking classes and doing personal chef services and at the time we started working together she was trying to find new ways to diversify her income and expand her reach so she didn't have to spend all of her time just cooking, which she loves to do, but there's only a certain amount of time you can spend doing only that, right? It's really great to have Alia now on the show to share what she's created, and today in particular, because the reason I wanted to have her come on was to talk about television. Alia has had a lot of experience getting herself on the television in a few different ways: she's done a self produced show, she hosted a show on a local TV network, and she's created a cooking show for a private network which I didn't even know existed as an option - how cool is that?! And it really got me thinking about the potential of using video, and we talked a bit about using online videos for wellness businesses but she is doing actually television as a video, and I think it'll expand your mind on what's possible. I know a lot of wellpreneurs out there dream about having a TV show, so I think some of what Alia says will open your eyes and maybe shatter some misconceptions, I know it did for me. Alia is super cool, I love her website and her branding, her personality, it's just really amazing how she's been able to turn this personal chef business into something that really fits her and expand it in so many different areas.

This week I have the amazing Jess Thomas on the podcast. Jess is the Founder of Health Lab, which is a 7-figure business, which produces 100% natural beauty and wellness snacks for women, based in Australia. It's really great to talk to someone who runs a product oriented business as we usually speak with founders of service based wellness providers. I think you'll enjoy the full story from someone who runs a physical product centered business all the way from funding (she sold her car for $5000 she invested in her business), how she works with her husband and what that looks like, and how she doesn't really believe in the work-life balance and that instead we should work on the idea of integration. So if you ever thought about adding a product or launching a product based business, you'll find this interview especially insightful. Now I teased you last week about something new I've been working on and I'm finally ready to tell you more about it! You already know that couple of years ago I released my book Wellpreneur, which teaches you how to bring more right people to your website and turn them into paying clients. It's an online marketing system for the wellness industry that's been a huge success and still sells on Amazon constantly bringing new members to our community. But there's something else that happens at this time of the year that became a certain tradition for the past couple of years and that's creating an actionable plan of what are we going to work on in the coming year. And so far I have talked about this in a few podcasts and created a downloadable PDF planner you can download and use, but from speaking with some of my friends and clients and hearing your thoughts I thought that it'd be cool to create an actual physical planner you could use to plan out your entire year of wellness business. And I realized that I wanted that for my own business as well and I know it will be useful to all of you too. And I've created it! It's called The Wellpreneur Planner and the launch is happening on Black Friday Nov 23rd 2018, and it will be available on Amazon. If you want to stay up to date about it, make sure to get on my email list and join our Facebook community. So speaking about physical product based business today I thought it would be a perfect time to give you some more input on my new physical product that can help your business :)

Today I'm speaking with Delamay Devi, yoga teacher and digital nomad with an incredible story. As a perfect continuation on the previous episode on how to create more freedom and flexibility and what it means to each and every one of us, Delamay shares how she structured her life and business. What's amazing is that for the past 9 years she's been following the sun, so she hasn't had a winter in 9 years. Both her and her husband work online and offline, they move through various locations around the world throughout the year where she teaches yoga, teacher training, mentorship, and runs retreats. I know that the idea of running retreats is a dream for so many of you, and even recently we had some questions in our Facebook Community on how to plan a retreat. And yes, it can feel a bit daunting on how you are going to pull it together which is why it's always helpful to hear an insight from someone who constantly organizes them. Which is why with Delamay I'm talking about retreat planning in detail. Something else I really took away with this interview is a sense of alignment and how you cant just model your business based just on what everyone else is doing, but intentionally set the boundaries and the shape of your business based on what's authentically you. I would very much love to talk to you about this interview in our FB Community, so jump in and leave us a comment there!

Welcome back to the first episode of the Season 4 of The Wellpreneur Podcast! Hope you had a nice season break and had a chance to catch up on some of the previous episodes you may have missed. I recently gave a talk at the first ever UK Health Coaches Association Conference about Freedom and Flexibility in your health and wellness business, and it really resonated with wellpreneurs so I wanted to kick off this new season with offering some ideas and advice today with all of you listening about how you can make some more freedom and flexibility in your own lives and businesses. I'm all about freedom and flexibility, and that's how I intentionally designed by business and my life, so if you are aspiring towards that you are really going to enjoy today's episode. And because being more free and flexible means something different to each one of us, I'll be talking about shifting your perception towards what it means to you and how you can take actions towards designing your life and business towards your own goals. So tune in! :)
And I know there's a lot of new listeners out there because in the meanwhile we became available on Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and most recently Spotify - and a lot of you don't know yet that there's another awesome way to connect with us and the rest of the wellness community alongside listening to the show and that's by joining our Wellpreneur Community on Facebook that already counts over 4,000 health and wellness industry experts. As I often record the episodes from my apartment in London, sometimes it's easy to forget how inspiring the show and the community have been to so many people and how this can actually impact your life. I had an experience recently just a couple of weeks ago where I spoke at the first ever UK Health Coaches Association Conference (and I rarely go to speaking events) and I met a lot of listeners, and signed tons of books which made me realize just how much they impacted someone's life and career and I was so happy to connect with other wellpreneurs. Being location independent and having the ability to work from home or anywhere is wonderful, but I also really recommend getting out there and meeting your people and your peers in person too. In fact I plan on taking my own advice and do more events in 2019 at various locations, and I already lined up a few in the next couple of months so I'd love to meet all of you who can join me!

I'm just loving this season of podcast because we're having such a diverse group of guests! Today I'm speaking with Paddy Spence, CEO of Zevia. Zevia is sugar free soda company, the first one to use stevia as sweetener in their drinks! Their founder Paddy has tons of experience in natural and organic industry and in working for companies that make natural and organic food and he decided to embark this journey of starting a soda company that didn't have much artificial sweeteners in them. If you are interested in making a product - this interview is exactly what you need to hear! Also, Paddy has so much experience the wellness industry and I loved picking his brains about his view on the competition, how to hire and build a good team, and how to decide what to work on in your business. From the changes and trends in the natural and organic industry, to all those juicy questions about his morning routines and how he keeps himself motivated - we're covering it all in today's conversation, and you don't want to miss it!
Also, it's summertime here in London and I'm curious to know if you are taking some time off this summer? I have just came back from New Hampshire where I have spent some time with my family, but also did some retreats and workshops, loads of writing, and worked on the part of my business I have been delaying for a long time. So my advice for this summer is definitely to try and do both if you can: take at least a few days off to just reset, and then get some perspective and see if there's anything in your work that you may have been putting off for a while and set it in motion.
I was recently given the book “Die Empty” by Todd Henry. The premise of the book is about how we can make sure we do our best work everyday (without getting distracted by other urgent – but not important – tasks.) Lots of the book really spoke to the challenges I hear Wellpreneurs talk about on a weekly basis. So we invited him on the show, and now we’re having a conversation all about doing your best work, what ‘passion’ really means and how you can find it, how to focus on what’s important (rather than just urgent), and daily routines and rituals to do your best work, everyday. If you enjoy this interview, Todd has four books as well as the popular podcast, Accidental Creative.
