Brook McCarthy started her first business in 2007 and now describes herself as "happily unemployable"

Her business Hustle and Heart equips and empowers business owners to build highly creative, ethical, and mutually-flourishing businesses that become a model for others to emulate.

Brook loves talking to women in business about money and demystifying money and sales. She believes how much you earn is a feminist issue and she's keen to change the stats!

In this episode she tells us: "anger is my superpower" and then puts this into context as she gives us examples of how "I get a fire in my belly and that gives me the power to make changes"

Brook talks about boundary setting and energy vampires and how helps women charge premium price for their valuable service and much more

Salle Huber is a movement teacher with more than 15 years experienced. She is trained and fully certified in Stott Pilates as well as The MELT Method, which is a simple and innovative self-care treatment for our connective-tissue system.

In May 2021 Salle started her own business after deciding that she could no longer work for anyone else.

She says "No-one believed in what I was doing (with my clients) as much as I did and so I decided that I would create my own studio where I could provide a highly personal service for people with a variety of abilities"

If you've listened to other episodes you know I ask "What would you do differently?" and Salle's immediate response was "I was I'd started much sooner"

This is such a common response from business owners - wishing they had started sooner

If you are thinking of starting your own business, this podcast is a terrific resource with stories from a variety of business owners - mostly personal service businesses

In this episode we meet Cheryl Burgess.

Cheryl and her husband Adrian now run a multi business operation. This is a business started in 2012 when they wanted to buy a Pilates reformer for personal use at home.

Finding a supplier overseas was easy EXCEPT! instead of buying 1 reformer - the minimum order was for 10 reformers !!

And that’s how it started. They pre sold the other 9 Pilates reformers before they even arrived in Sydney.

The first growth step was to include commercial use Pilates equipment – something they wish they had moved into earlier than they did!

Haven’t we heard this in previous episodes “We wish we’d jumped in sooner/ earlier… trusted that we were on the right track”

They now run a multi business operation, with a large team of people – including family members and locals - and are deeply steeped in the industry and they truly understand what their customers need – from lived experience

This episode is not really about Pilates - although super helpful if you are interested in Pilates or other fitness or allied health

This episode showcases what happens in business “you stay in your lane” as Cheryl says

The integrated businesses work together to support their chosen industry

What happens when a hair stylist says "Enough! of this"

... and decides to become a Feng Shui consultant?

That’s exactly what Candice Berlanger did and for a whole lot of reasons – start8ing with more freedom and flexibility to spend more time with her family

Feng Shui is often thought of as the art of placement, where we put things in the house or the office

The REAL practice of Feng Shui is one of the oldest in the world and has a fascinating history!

Candice gives a little of the Feng Shui history and background as she takes us through her journey from hair stylist to Feng Shui consultant

We answer all the regular startup questions in this conversation and Candice dishes out some solid wisdom for anyone thinking about getting started:

"It takes longer than you think it will" AND “just start with what you’ve got at the time”

I love this!

Dr Artika Tyner is an amazing woman, a human rights lawyer, book publisher and book store owner! Planting People Growing Justice

She lives by the credo: When you see a problem, find a solution.

She tells us that she realised that "a reader is more likely to find a black dog on the cover of a book than a black person" and set about to find a solution. She started publishing books

Her first book stores were pop-ups - at festivals and markets, offering the early books she published.

In 2017 Planting People Growing Justice was named as small business champion which was extremely fortuitous as this gave them access to business training and a mentor.

She says having this mentor as well as others has been indispensable to their success. And successful they indeed are.

She talks honestly about in the beginning she dreamt of "buying a building for her book store" and then didn't have step 2 ... no pricing plan, no overall strategy for financial viability - which is why the mentors were so important.

Dr Artika realised "I had to reconcile in my mind: this is a business, this is not a hobby. For this to last for the generations to come meant that we had to have a very sound strategy in place from the outset!"

She tells us some pretty disturbing data from the US:

"1 in 4 children are not reading at grade level by 4th grade

If you're not reading at grade level by 4th grade you are 4 times more likely to drop out of school

And if you drop out of school you are 3 and half times more likely to enter into the tangled web of incarceration and be arrested

Planting People Growing Justice is NOT just about selling books alone it’s about increasing literacy and engagement"

Dr Artika is truly on a mission and when you listen to this conversation I believe you will be as inspired and uplifted as she is to bring about change in real time.

In recognition of her leadership and service, she is the recipient of more than two dozen awards that include: Women in Business, American Small Business Champion, International Educator Citizen, and American Bar Association Difference Makers.

She has been featured in a variety of media outlets.

She is a prolific, award-winning author of adult and children’s books that includes: Amazing Africa: A to Z and The Inclusive Leader: Taking Intentional Action for Justice and Equity.

She serves as a global citizen by supporting education, entrepreneurship, and women’s leadership initiatives in Africa. In furtherance of her philanthropic efforts, she created Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute, a nonprofit organization committed to promoting literacy and diversity in books.

Hello and welcome to Episode 177

Recently I found myself saying to a friend "I feel like I've lost my voice"

I hadn't written a newsletter in a while and there was a gap in my podcast episodes and I was mostly off social media .... I told my friend "I don't know what to say"

She said: "We procrastinate as a response to fear - we develop the habit of procrastinating to protect ourselves"

Wow!! That was a lightbulb moment

I hadn't realised that this is procrastination!!

What am I frightened of?

In this solo and very personal episode I share with you how I dealt with it - and it is NOT about having more willpower

We are in business - we have tons of willpower

This calls for something much deeper - and totally different

In this short (less than 15 minute) episode I walk you through the steps I took

Am I completely "cured" ... time will tell

I'm guessing it could happen again AND next time I'll be ready!!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode

Like many business owners Angela Ficken reached a point where she was burning the candle at both ends. She took the plunge to start private practice … and thought she would “hang out her shingle” and that’s all she needed to do.

It didn’t work out that way and in this episode Angela tells us how she overcame the “hustle of being in business which is a constant grind”

She says that she learned very fast that: “Your pay check is as much as you hustle”

Angela has built her business Progress Welness into a worldwide brand. She offers online products that take her expertise out into the world for a wide range of clients. She tells us that creating the brand allowed the creativity side of her personality.

In this episode Angela walks us through the process she used to build her brand and the entire suit of online products – so helpful for every business person.

Angela Ficken, LICSW is a full-time psychotherapist in private practice. She specializes in OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety-related concerns.

She started her career at McLean Hospital, which is one of the top-ranking psychiatric hospitals in the country and affiliated with Harvard University. She was the head social worker on an inpatient unit that focuses on anxiety and depression.

During her time at McLean, she trained in exposure therapy and became certified in CBT and DBT. Shortly thereafter, she worked at Harvard University as a primary therapist for undergraduate and graduate students.

During her time there, she taught students CBT and DBT skills to help them manage a range of challenging emotions that young adults face daily.

Angela has focused her attention on working with young adults and entrepreneurs primarily after noticing that both groups struggled with anxiety disorders and stress-related issues due to life transitions and the uncertainty of what was coming next in their lives. The struggle, as they say, is "real".

She has spent years fine-tuning her practice and building her business into something more than a standard full-time private practice.

In this conversation she tells us how she has achieved this - with practical and actionable steps we can all implement.

She began writing for Huffington Post as an expert, which then catapulted her into writing for other major online sources which include Marriage.com where she is a verified expert, YourTango.com, ThriveGlobal.com, and has been quoted in Oprah Magazine, and on Fastcompany.com, Inc.com, Forbes.com, MSN.com, Bustle.com, Popsugar.com, Buzzfeed.com, Nylon magazine, Getstigma.com, and Justluxe.com. She has also been a guest on Onward Nation with Stephen Woessner where she talked about OCD and intrusive thoughts, as well as on the radio in Chicago and Reno speaking about stress and anxiety.

Through her writing and hearing from her clients how difficult it was finding an understanding therapist—one who could actually teach coping strategies to manage difficult emotions—she decided to create the Worried to Well-Balanced: Practical Skills to Deal With Everyday Stressors: Worried to Well-balanced course to reach more people other than those she could meet within her office.

The course is designed to help those who have significant stress in their lives and struggle to find ways of coping and managing their emotions.

Stacey Hylen is my guest today in this short Stand out episode.

Stacey started her first business when she was in third grade and then started an even more successful business when she was 11 years old.

She describes herself as a “natural optimiser” and this is a highlight from our full episode which is coming soon.

Stacey says: "In business the pricing barrier in business is not usually between ourselves and a client or customer – the pricing barrier is usually between our ears …" and she is talking about mindset

She gives us a terrific pricing example from her own business and also a general example of resources vs resourcefulness - and especially when it comes to mindset and profit.

In this Standout she mentions her "Raise your Rates Masterclass" and you can register for the next one here:

My guest today is Keli Spanier and more than 12 years ago she started making funny and creative cards – for a whole bunch of reasons

In this episode she tells us all about how she has grown Colette Paperie from those first cards into a global company

As Keli says: "After spending several years at a corporate job I began Colette Paperie in 2009 to solve two problems: lose the soul-sucking job, and create funny cards."

It became her goal to revive snail mail in a way that made it impossible to resist - by creating cards that you simply have to send.

Her cards are located in over 500 stores worldwide after a decade of hard work, dedication + grit to making this thing work and she tells us the highs and the lows in this episode.

Her cards are in floral shops, boutiques, museum shops, salons, and even restaurants.

The best feature of the cards (aside from their irreverent sayings) is the brightly covered envelope sure to stand out in anyone's mailbox.

Keli does it all herself: draws, prints, cuts, folds + packages all of her cards, stickers, notepads + keychains all in her Cincinnati studio. Keli says "It's pretty ridiculous."

Personally I think it is amazing! as is she!

I love cards and I think you will love Keli's cards and really find this episode extremely enlightening about how to take a create pursuit and enjoy a viable business.

She talks pricing and shares data and stats - she tracks her pitches, the acceptances and the conversions.

Stacey Hylen is my guest today and she started her first business when she was in third grade and then an even more successful business when she was 11 years old.

Stacey says: "Many people feel they are getting paid well, just not enough to reflect their brilliance at what they do and the kind of results and support they create for their clients. I help people Raise their Rates"

In this conversation she talks about how she works with clients to help them Raise their Rates.

She describes herself as a “natural optimiser” and all the way through our conversation you can hear how she optimises!!

No matter what business you are in – Stacey has a message for you.

She started her business when she and her husband moved to Quebec in Canada from the US.

  • in a new country
  • speaking mostly French - 99.8%
  • with a young baby
  • and in a small village

Her husband used to joke that "If it doesn't work out you could always go work at the local hot dog stand" and Stacey says "There is NO WAY that was going to happen"

So she made it work. How often are we inspired to make something work because some one tells us it won't work!!

The French expression she used is “Casse-croûte literally translates to 'break-crust' but it's really a snack.”

Stacey has a recently released book "Hidden Profit: more clients & cash" and she mentioned her "Raise your Rates Masterclass" and you can register for the next one here:

Suzanne is a mindset coach for music-preneurs and creatives and she says it is time to #RedesigntheHustle!

Combining her 18+ years in the music industry with a Master's in Psychology she now helps creatives reach their goals.

This is more than time management solutions – this is growth mindset meets getting clarity on the next steps.

There’s a reason the business is Rock/ Star

The solidity with grounding like a rock while reaching for the stars!

Suzanne says “Things will always get messy, and that’s OK. Get through the mess!”

She says she wishes she had realised earlier that “Anything is monetizable” and she explains how not knowing this held her back in the early days.

Suzanne gives us practical ways to bootstrap – the various ways she had to in the first 3-4 years.

She talks about the importance of not just understanding the difference between charging by the hour and the value created for her clients. It was when she absolutely believed in the value she creates she was able to “take the steps and not get in my own way” – this was thanks to the support of a money mindset coach.

Suzanne believes that everything comes back to mindset and how we think and what we believe.

There is so much to love about this episode and conversation with Suzanne.

Destini Copp says "You may feel like no-one is watching, no-one is seeing what you are doing. Keep on going, keep moving forward. People are watching. People are seeing what you are doing. You are building your future. Believe in what you are doing and keep going."

When Destini started her business, she started big and was looking to scale and grow quickly. Then she cycled around and went to work 1:1 with clients - and she wishes she had done this earlier.

So many business owners want to "go big and grow fast"

Destini talks to us about how important the 1:1 work is in building the foundations.

She talks about pricing and the process she has used to reach the pricing models she has today.

Dr Destini Copp is a college marketing professor turned online entrepreneur.

This is a rich conversation with a smart business woman with years of experience across a number of different industries.

Allison Jackson Fitness originally started out as FitMomsofNJ.com in 2010 when she began to realize how many of her mom-friends were either struggling to lose weight, looking for ways to incorporate exercise into their busy lives or trying to figure out how to prioritize their health while caring for their family.

Fitness is absolutely her passion. When she was in her teens, she used to read her Dad’s Muscle & Fitness magazines and attempt to lift weights and work out in their unfinished basement with a weight bench and some dumbbells.

Her mom took Allison to Jazzercise classes with her. She struggled with her weight, but it was during those early years that she caught the fitness bug.

Re: starting your own business:

"Trust in yourself and rip off the band aid. You’ll be surprised just how successful you can be"

Some of my personal highlights from this conversation:

Allison felt like the business was real when locals started saying to her "I know you, you're Allison Jackson Fitness - I've been watching your videos"

She talks about how important it is to find the right business coach. "The right business coach is going to fast track you and get you through the rough points"

She says "No matter what your goal there is a coach who can help you – go find them"

Allison explains how she went from her early days where she gave sessions to family "for free" to charging what she is worth – she has 3 different ways she reached a dollar amount:

  • bartering was an early method
  • she looked at what her coaches were charging and what value are they giving me and started from there - and says "As I built out my clients and my schedule gets more full – up with my prices" AND
  • Evaluate your time, your hours. How much time are you spending coaching a person and the things you have to do – and put a dollar price on your hours.

Allison believes in 3 pillars - fun, authenticity and healthy

Rebekah Campbell is a serial entrepreneur who has played a lead role in the disruption of two industries.

She's best known as the Co-Founder of Hey You, Australia's number 1 order ahead platform used by 900 000+ Aussies in cafes and quick service restaurants (QSR)

Hey You grew out of the combination of Rebekah's Posse.com and another business called Beat the Q.

She tells the story of how the 2 officially became 1 company in 2015.

Hey You is evolving the way that people order and pay at cafes and QSR.

Posse.com was founded in 2013 and was a social search engine that helped people find and recommend their favourite places and interact with storeowners. Posse at the time was used by 45,000 merchants worldwide and is backed by leaders from Google, Facebook, Twitter and E-Bay.

Prior to Posse.com Rebekah founded Scorpio Music, one of Australia's most successful music companies. Scorpio developed the careers of Evermore, George, Lisa Mitchell, Matt Corby and many others.

Rebekah also talks about writing her book - and why this was so important to her. She says "When I was writing, I just thought about one person and if I could help that one person to have the change that I have had in my life, it was worthwhile."

Sounds familiar doesn't it? When thinking about our ideal client - think of that 1 person.

Katie Chonacas is a multi disciplinary artist who utilises her voice to inspire change and transformation in people who want to make an impact on the world

Katie Chonacas is the first NFT artist to release a poem on love on blockchain. "A Lover’s Fairytale" was released on World Poetry Day and is available on Amazon.

Katie Chonacas writes for Huff Post.

Katie has appeared in many TV shows and films including Law & Order: SVU, Cols Case, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, CSI: NY.

She has a popular podcast: She’s All over the Place

When I asked Katie why she wanted to be a guest on the show she said:

"Educating and sharing over two decades of experience in entertainment and business.

How I got started, key facts and gems, books, mentors, mentality, sharing, communicating, having a team, not doing it all alone.

Being open to the unknown & the unexpected, having a blueprint to guide but allowing space so the ego and control do not ruin the vision, the hope, the dream.

Mindfulness, what, who and what we are listening to, noise pollution.

The importance of culture, travel, listening, and how to take massive action every single day. Here's to a great start. :) Thank you!"

I knew this would be a memorable conversation - and it is!

Money scares many people. But it doesn’t scare Ean Price Murphy.

She doesn’t want business owners to have to worry about their “crazy” finances anymore!

People who are nervous or confused about money work with Ean to become confident, comfortable and knowledgeable around money.

She wasn’t born a bookkeeper. She learned it slowly.

Ean graduated with a Liberal Arts degree, so it wasn’t until her 20s that she started becoming educated about money. She says: “After all, it’s just another language, and with a little guidance, you’ll be fluent”

Can runs Moxie Bookkeeping and is a Profit First professional.

If you’re wondering what is profit first then listen in.

Ean describes profit first as “a way of handling your business income in order to make sure you’re actually earning a good living from your business or freelance work. And if you’re not there yet, it is a really impactful way of working your way towards that good living in the most effective way.”

Myrtle and Maude creates natural wellbeing products for pregnancy.

Julia d'Albert Pusey is the Co-Founder and a super smart business woman.

This episode is packed with about as much as can be packed into 40+ minutes. I think Julia is probably one of THE most prepared guests I've ever had on the show.

Julia says: "Don’t be scared of failing – just don’t put a lot of money behind it" and explains how this applied in her previous business. "Set a financial limit"

She also says: "You cannot go to the market with perfect option. Test the market on the cheapest option and see if there is a bite"

She describes the early days in "Myrtle and Maude" when it was "not pretty" because getting something out there was most important.

She describes the impact of Google shopping and then Amazon on their business.

Myrtle and Maud is certainly a business to watch over the next few years.

Kelli Komondor says her motto might well be "Why not now?"

Why wait another 5 years or 10 years - why not now?

In this rich and rewarding conversation Kelli tells her story - and much more.

2020 - the year of necessary changes for small businesses, nonprofits and corporations.

Kelli Komondor found the courage to follow her dreams to have a business of her own and to become a published author.

Kelli's motto could be said to be "Why not now?" because it was these 3 words which changed her life last year.

We all know that feeling "The time is not quite right"

Is it ever exactly perfectly right?

Kelli took that leap and now runs a successful and growing business providing content, PR & marketing and branding to small businesses and nonprofits.

As if starting a business wasn't enough Kelli decided to create an anthology of 21 business women sharing their stories of resilience: Twenty Won

You can find Kelli's book here: www.twentywonbook.com

This is a completely different style of podcast episode.

Today I'm in conversation with Ian Whitworth as we discuss his book "Undistruptable. Timeless business truths for thriving in a world of non-stop change"

Ian describes himself as "Failed vet student, amusement ride operator, audiovisual technician"

He started his own advertising agency so he could give himself the creative director job he yearned for. That business won some awards which helped him start audiovisual business Scene Change - partly to test marketing ideas that his corporate clients felt were too weird. It worked, becoming a successful national firm in the event industry.

Ian believes: "So many talented people want to give it a shot, yet they’re held back by the big business myths. But success is simpler than your crusty CEO wants you to think."

Ian built his businesses on simple rules, Year 6 maths, basic decency and no jargon.

The book is terrific and is certainly written in Ian's very Australian writing style.

Regular listeners know I ask similar questions of my guests. IN this episode Ian's questions are specifically about his book and the recurring themes he covers:

  • the importance of building and nurturing relationships - with everyone
  • selling is a skill and vocation that is vital to success
  • good customer service is the foundation of good business
  • money and measuring results is where true success comes from
  • decency and common sense prevail

Ian's book is published by Penguin and can be found wherever you buy your books. In fact he suggests you go find your local independent bookshop for your copy.

"The independents need our support"

Nicki Krawczyk created a storm when she named her business Filthy Rich Writer - in fact she was surprised at the response.

Nicki Krawczyk is determined to destroy the myth that writers don’t make any money. After earning her degree in Public Relations and reading a book her mother gave her about how to become a copywriter and earn 6-figures, Nicki propelled herself into freelance work.

She has worked with high calibre clients like Hasbro, TripAdvisor, and Adidas.

Today, she heads her own training program and podcast, where she instils the proper skills writers need to reach their ultimate potential as self employed copywriters. It's this business she named Filthy Rich Writer - whatever "Filthy Rich" means ...

In this terrific conversation Nicki gives us some solid and well thought through business philosophy - about pricing, about hiring others to help "as business owners we think we can do it all ourselves and we'll wait till we have more money before hiring someone. Truth is we need that person in place in order to make more money and to take biz to the next level"

Nicki has her own way of dealing with the tough times and there certainly are tough times in business - "it's scarier than you think it will be and it's better than you think it will be and everything can happen in the same day."

Nicki is a fun and lively guest and shares her stories and wisdom with generosity and a genuine desire to help you build and grow your business - whatever business that is.

Settle in - whether with a cuppa T, driving along or out with your dog for a walk ... wherever you listen to your podcasts.

There are a few things that are truly exceptional about Jack Tanasi and here are just a few that stand out from this conversation/ interview:

  • he started his e-Commerce store completely from scratch. He did not have a product, didn't have a store. He created something from nothing

  • during the early days of the enforced Melbourne lockdown – one of the longest lockdowns – Jack spent his time interviewing entrepreneurs who had started e-commerce brands “instead of playing Play Station like most people.” He asked questions and "was a total sponge soaking up all their information."

  • He tells of how he learned the most from the smallest of the 10 business owners he spoke with and it was a lot of the little things – that some of the bigger brands didn’t have issues with. This matters to a startup business.

This is so insightful – we look at the large companies for ideas and inspiration – and in fact small business is where many of our best lessons are.

  • He talks about taking that 1 product and creating 7 different SKUs – so smart!

  • Finding a name that he could have both here in Australia and across the globe – and that has not all been smooth sailing – there were some big challenges and fortunately that has all been sorted out. He tells us about it in this episode.

  • He has a 3 days action plan and holds himself accountable to implement an idea within 3 days.

  • Jack is big on Time Management and has fixed ways he organises his day and that how he gets so much done in a day, in a week, in a month.

  • Feedback comes from customers and they pride themselves on a fast response. They fix problems quickly.

  • He says: "Be a sponge, learn as much as you can – constantly"

I think you are going to really find this episode helpful and informative as you look to grow your business.

I've never really been a "goal setter" and have to admit the whole Great Big Hairy Goal discussion makes me squeamish! In this "just me" podcast episode I describe my personal approach to business today.

Inspired by a few different things that I've been thinking about and working on in the past few months, I'm taking a very singular view and focussing on The One Thing that I can do right now to achieve my daily, weekly and monthly goal.

Please notice that I use the singular goal - not the plural goals! Having too many goals, I have found, leads to nothing being done particularly well.

Please also notice that in this episode I tend to use "can do" rather than "must do" or "need to do" (well, most of the time) do let me know if you hear a "need to" sneak in! Language is one of my other projects i.e. as regards the language I use - all aligned to my One Goal.

Accelerate your Business Financial Confidence is starting soon - 6 week Accelerator program that will change your life completely and forever https://www.healthynumbers.com.au/money/

When you understand how money works in your business your life changes completely and forever !!

Gabriella Rosa graduated as a Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science almost 20 years ago and has been running her business pretty much since graduating.

Gabriela is the author of 4 books.

She has a Master of Science in Medicine (Reproductive Health and Human Genetics) from The University of Sydney and has recently completed clinical research program at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health where she was awarded The Scholar Award for academic excellence.

She is currently working towards a Masters in Public Health.

It's not all academic, Gabriela has a world wide impact:

In the past 10 years she has run free online events that have helped educate more than 140 000 people across more than 100 countries. One of here events was for more than 12 000 people in a 12 day free online event – this cost $80 000 to put this event together and run online.

The reason that Gabriela is able to run her free events for so many people is because her business is financially successful.

If you have been listening to previous conversations you know that one of my favourite questions is “when did you feel your business was real?” and Gabrialla’s answer is completely different to any other we have heard – she said “Last week” and laughs.

She goes on to explain what she means “As your business progresses you face different challenges”

"In that moment the business is real and then it becomes unreal again."

Gabriela is really honest about how she made the huge change from the entire business being in a physical location as well as relying on her individual effort – hours for dollars - and building something that was one to many. The changes happened in 2013 – she closed her physical practice and "took everything online."

She speaks really honestly about the thinking process about choosing a niche and tells a truly helpful example of how she has landed where she is today in her business - the pathway to finding the people she works with and solves their number 1 issue

I am personally inspired by what she says about her focus on THE MOST challenging cases that led her to where she is today.

Gabriella asks a really powerful question: what is the highest price that you can comfortable ask for?

This underpins her premise that Pricing is a self image question.

Gabriela is the author of 4 books:

NEW! Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming infertility and miscarriage when other treatments have failed

Protecting Your Fertility: The Dangers of Conventional Pest Control and Natural, Safe Alternatives Revealed by Gabriela Rosa

Eat Your Way To Parenthood: The Diet Secrets of Highly Fertile Couples Revealed by Gabriela Rosa

Today I want to take us through the basic belief cycle – you may have seen this before or have had it explained to you before … and I especially want to use some of our beliefs about our ability to understand money as an example

The basic belief cycle = we start with our beliefs and our thoughts - our thoughts and our beliefs lead to our feelings - our feelings lead to the actions we take - and then our actions determine the results we achieve - our results then impact our beliefs and out thoughts and so we go around and around

In today's episode I use our beliefs about money and understanding how money works in our business and I follow the cycle through what happens to many of my clients.

My gift to you from this episode is a way for you to shift that self belief - to jump the line from where you are to where you can be!

This is my Christmas gift to you …. Your belief in yourself :

It is absolutely possible for me to understand how money works in my business

Listen in to this short episode where I give you the action to take to shift your beliefs and your thoughts.

1 action - that's all and repeated daily. Micro changes not massive changes are what we need right now.

Micro changes

Trust me, this works!

When you understand how money works in your business your life changes completely and forever !!

Julie Goodall takes the solo out of being a solopreneur and in this honest and practical discussion Julie shares the wisdom of building and growing her business over the past 6 years.

Highlights in this interview:

What she wished she'd done differently? Realised which clients were the "best fit" for her business.

How did she get started? It was when a previous client described her as "like having an extra right arm" and she realised that all the things she loves to do – others don’t! and therein lay her business opportunity!

She talks about the “life changing” value of hiring a coach. Julie learned how to set boundaries “and as an empath, I always wanted to say “Yes” to everyone.”

Julie knew exactly how much her business needed to pay her to support their family of 4 – she loves being across the numbers. Music to my ears.

When you understand how money works in your business your life changes completely and forever !!

A few weeks ago a came across this book: The XX Brain by Dr Lisa Mosconi Click here for more information

Over the past decade we have come to know so much more about the brain – through neuroscience and brain studies and extensive research.

Dr Lisa is especially interested in women’s health – and preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s

One of the things Dr Lisa talks about in her book is the importance of sleep - for the brain

I love to sleep - and to sleep well!

I believe our confidence is directly affected by how much sleep we get. I know my confidence certainly is related to how much sleep I have.... maybe you find the same??

It occurred to me that this is a key ingredient to be more successful in business - being more confident

In this episode I discuss the impact effective sleep has on your confidence and therefore, on your business success.

It's a short 12 minute episode packed with information to grow your confidence FAST!

My guess is that you are here because you are a business owner and you want to increase your financial intelligence & business acumen.

You want to have confident conversations when it comes to talking about money

You want to make business decisions based on data and facts

… so that ultimately you can build financial autonomy through business success.

Highlights from this episode:

  1. What happens when you don't pay attention to the numbers?! You just might get a very pleasant surprise!

  2. The unexpected benefits of identifying your niche - which she wishes she had done "much earlier" than she did:

  3. collaboration opportunities

  4. content creation
  5. speaking to your ideal client
  6. understanding the platforms they use in their business - this is especially important for Jessica

  7. She tells us "I have a degree in design - not a business degree. I didn't get any training in how to run a business." Jessica has a unique perspective on the role of business coaches and others for specific projects in her business.

and much more

Jessica Freeman started her business Jess Creatives more than 10 years ago - designing T-shirts as a college project. She charged a whopping $10 + she always got one of the T-shirts!

Fast forward to when she was able to quit her corporate job when she realised she was making more money designing websites and providing copy as a side hustle - than she was even being paid in her job!

That's when she tells us "Pay attention to the numbers!"

The latest data from the 2021 Sales Enablement from Hubspot report says:

  • 84% of buyers now kick off their buying process with a referral.

  • 9 out of 10 buying decisions are made with peer recommendations.

  • 92% of buyers trust referrals from people they know

Here is the one that I find most staggering ... and is the reason for this episode:

After a positive experience 83% of customers would be happy to provide a referral - that's good to know!

BUT!! no-one is asking them for referrals -- so, just 29% of customers end up giving a referral.

Call me crazy ... this seems like such a waste of opportunity, isn't it?

That means that 54 out of every happy customers who could refer your business or recommend you - are not being asked.

Today I give you the steps to change this in your business - right now.

You can change this. Know what you need to do, take action and be consistent

Listen now .... and let me know what action you will take today.

What happens when another business like yours opens up nearby?

Whether a new business opens up physically near you or in the online world - no matter what industry you are in, there will always be others doing what you do and offering what you offer.

How do you think about it?

Do you view them as a direct competitor?

Do you view them as indirect competition? and view it as being helpful and healthy for your whole industry?

In todays episode I talk about some real examples of similar businesses being physically right there beside other businesses in the same industry.

I ask the question "What if we take a collaborative approach?"

I believe you will find todays episode interesting and thought provoking.

This is such an intelligent discussion about Barbara's life and her business startup story as she shares her thoughts and experiences.

We talk about money - how she funded her startup, how she figures out her pricing and what she wished she'd done differently regarding the money side of her business.

Barbara has a unique perspective on FEAR and mindset which is solidly based in her studies and life experiences.

She is practical an d at the same time encouraging and optimistic. When I ask the question "what do you say to someone dreaming of their own business?"

She says "Put your Purpose in the Drivers seat and put fear in the boot and take the first step!"

As the Founder of the Design Your Life Foundation, she uses her holistic 3D-DYL Protocol, scientifically backed in neuroscience, consciousness, psychology and anthropology, to help people positively transform for higher impact at personal, professional and business level.

Fear holds many people back from truly making their impact in the world, from being more true to who they want to be, who they are meant to be.

Maybe this is you?

I usually consider myself to be brave, to be courageous and yet at times I find myself - apprehensive - that's my word for fear!

We've learned to name it other things.

In this episode I talk about a technique that I have found incredibly helpful. It's making friends with fear and understanding what my fear is protecting me from.

You may have heard of neuroscience which has given us incredible understanding of how our brains work.

I believe you will find this episode interesting and helpful.

Leah Weinberg helps couples plan their wedding - she is a wedding planner.

For 10 years Leah was a lawyer and she has left that behind her to build her own business.

This is quite a story. She talks about money and pricing and the tough times when it feels so personal and what you can do to move on ... She says that rejection feels especially personal when you start out in a business that's provides a service. Rejection is part of being in business. She assures us that "your skin will toughen and it will hurt less …” and that's what I have found as well.

She believes there is somebody for everybody AND there really is enough business to go around.

And this is how she counteracts the “non-wins” and how she uses this belief to help not take things so personally …

Leah is fun to chat with, this is a friendly interview and I believe you will enjoy listening in.

     Sarah Wolfer is the Founder and CEO of Girl Boss Sports, a Seattle based start-up.

She is working toward two very important goals:

1) Keeping girls in sports and

2) Increasing the number of women sports coaches.

Sarah has been a soccer player and coach for most of her life including playing at the semi-professional level and coaching at the collegiate level.

She consistently found that there was a lack of female representation and equity across all aspects of sports and she decided to do something about it in 2018 when she started Girl Boss Sports.

     In this episode she talks about what it is about participating in sport that translates into business leadership and much more.

This is one of the In between episodes and today I consider the questions: Are we our own algorithm?

I'd been thinking about the Jim Rohn quote about the 5 people we spend most time with and especially as this applies to the way I'm living at the moment.

Do I have 5 people?

Who are my 5 people?

Our minds are amazing and the more we learn about how the mind works, the more convinced I am that we can be who we want to be and we can do anything we want to do …

Have a listen and please let me know what you think. I'd love to know

This is an in-between episodes. In between the Interviews!

Today I talk about affirmations, what they mean to me, how I use them and why I believe they are more than just "believe it and you will see it"

I first became aware of affirmations when I was in high school and they have remained part of my life since then.

Repeating positive affirmations and expecting things to change doesn't work. This is because it targets the conscious level of your mind - not the unconscious.

Affirmations need to be supported by action – they don’t work on their own

Recently I gave my Thrive coaching group an activity to highlight their unique gifts. They all said it is a terrific reminder of just how much they have achieved!  

In this epidote I share this same activity for you to use for yourself and this is your CTA from this episode.

It’s been quite a journey for Andrea Uvanni and we are fortunate that she shares some of her experience with us here in this episode.

If you are in an environment where you are the only one like you and everyone questions your skills and abilities – take heart from Andrea’s story

It has taken the past 10 years for her to find her way, to become someone whom her peers no longer question, and in fact accept her knowledge, and even seek her opinion. 10 long years.

This is partly because she has gained a tremendous amount of knowledge over the past 10 years – and it is also due to the number of hurdles overcome, the discriminations fought through and biases proven wrong.

Sound familiar?

Andrea speaks passionately about building her own consulting business. She is smart, persistent and extremely passionate about the work she does with her clients

In this interview she talks about her approach to goal setting and planning

She speaks about dealing with rejection and how not to take it personally

If you have your notebook ready and work along with Andrea in this interview it will almost feel like having your own private session.

I’m trying something new this month and I'm keen to know from you if it's helpful? and will I keep doing it?

Between the regular interviews I’m sharing my thoughts on a particular aspect of business that will help take you closer to business success and ultimately Financial Independence.

Please let me know if this is a useful "in between" episode to our regular podcast interviews. We’ll be back next week with an interview – and for the next few weeks I’ll be here with the in-between weeks' thoughts and ideas

If you have questions about achieving Financial Independence through building your viable and thriving business – send me an email ingrid@h... I answer all my own emails

Today I am talking about the very important questions:

Where are you going?

What do you want your business to be?

What do you want your business to give you?

To answer these questions I introduce you to Chris Hadfield, an astronaut.

What can an astronaut teach about business? A lot! Listen in and let me know what you think.

Amy Foley started her own business to have more time and more flexibility in her own life

Irony, she does exactly this for her clients through providing a "plug and play" service. She provides back-office support and team augmentation for digital agencies.

This is not your traditional business startup story. Amy's life changed when she least expected - we can all relate to this in one way or another. What her employers say to her is almost unbelievable. So she took her life into her own hands and the rest is - as they say - "history!!"

If you want to know how to build a business entirely on referrals - this is the episode for you. It's an astounding achievement and especially from those first 3 clients!

For anyone building team and especially if you have not had much experience with recruitment, Amy is Super Generous with sharing their recruitment process.

After many years in the corporate world of Retail HR, Jo Dodds started her home based business in August 2005.

In this episode of So You Want to Start a Business Jo tells us about that first business and the iterations to reach the business she runs today - Power to Live More

Pricing is always one of the sticky/ tricky aspects for people in a service based business.

Listen out as Jo explains the Risk Reversal Guarantee pricing strategy she started out using in her publishing business.

She now uses this in her service based business – smart strategy. She said it was a “no brainer” for her.

We have quite a lengthy discussion about having the mindset to be able to charge what you believe you are worth. I think you’ll find it helpful because so many people tell me this is where they get stuck!

Like many of our guests Jo identifies tenacity as one of her key characteristics and she and I have a similar positive outlook on life.

I have been on Jo's podcast - episode number 153 click here to listen to that one where I chat with Jo about How to Make Good Decisions in business.

I truly think you are going to enjoy this interview conversation as Jo tells her wonderful business startup story.

Emotional intelligence expert, speaker and author Bonnie Kelly teaches people how to de-weed their minds of unhelpful emotions and become emotionally resilient by recognizing and weeding out Negative Core Beliefs—hurtful subconscious power statements we believe to be true about ourselves, such as: “I’m not good enough,” I don’t deserve to be loved” or “I can’t do anything right.”

In this high energy conversation with Bonnie we talk about all the things have contributed to Bonnie building the successful business she has today.

We talk about getting feedback - from people who are qualified to give us feedback on any given topic. Feedback vs seeking approval.

Bonnie says "Don't allow your results of yesterday to define your tomorrow" and she comes back to her key theme and the value she provides:

She ends self-sabotage. She says:

It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

In this interview conversation Bonnie talks about the topics she covers in her book:

“True to Your Core: Uncovering the Subconscious Beliefs Wreaking Havoc in Your Life”

In this book, Bonnie guides people to recognize the weight of regrets, shame and guilt from the past and how they are currently impacting our present lives.

Through bringing these unconscious patterns into our conscious awareness, Bonnie supports people to move from victim to victory. It's never too late to de-weed your life and cultivate a healthy, organic emotional state!

Emily Soccorsy [So-KOR-SEE] and Justin Foster are co-founders of Root + River, an intrinsic branding practice.

They believe that the 20th century approach to manufacturing brands is over - where branding meant creating a contrived perception (think: Marlboro Man, Betty Crocker). Most often, the manufactured brand was detached from the reality of what happened inside the company and inside the leader’s heart and mind. How even more true is this right now?

A new, more humanistic and experiential age is daening, based on the idea that branding is how other people experience what you believe.

In this episode they talk about their business startup successes and challenges.

This is a special episode because we get to explore the nature of beug in a business partnership and how this has fully enhanced their business success.

Linda Patten is founder of Dare2Lead with Linda. She is the author of The Art of Herding Cats: Leading Teams of Leaders and that alone was a terrific reason for us to meet! Any long term listeners know what a cat person I am! and yes, herding cats is certainly a challenge!

Her life’s work is challenging women to dare to lead: whether it is for navigating the often-daunting entrepreneurial world, building strong teams for a thriving business, stepping out of the shadows into the light as a leader of one’s life, or learning the leadership skills that will grow the seeds of change into a world-level movement.

She shares her own business journey with us and one of the key standouts for me is when Linda talks about serving others:

"Have a vision for what you want to achieve, tell everyone and then be curious about what they are trying to achieve. What is their vision and what do they need and how does your vision match their need?"

Linda is an international keynote speaker and international best-selling author, syndicated radio show host, leadership expert on all things Leadership.

With 40 years of leadership experience spanning the military (including protocol officer to a 4-star general), corporate, and entrepreneurial arenas, Linda is uniquely qualified to guide women on their journey of self-discovery, skills development, and a charted course toward becoming an extraordinary leader.

Her book and 12-step program, The Art of Herding Cats: Leading Teams of Leaders, are rooted in her heartfelt vision to empower women to step out, step up, and step into the kind of leadership that creates positive change in the world.

Her latest book, No One Stood Up When I Entered the Room: One Woman’s Journey from Command to True Leadership show why Comfluential™ leadership will redefine what leadership is.

Jill Valdez could be described as an "accidental entrepreneur" or business owner.

This is an episode for everyone because Jill works with companies to help them grow and improve their business without spending anything extra on marketing!

She has a strong focus on people development and how to motivate employees.

When a corporate restructure caused her to jump from not-for-profit to the for-profit sector Jill quickly realised that her skills for creating systems and developing efficient processes would fill a void for her potential clients.

Her passion for people living a life of purpose compelled her to developing strategies for employees to be engaged to perform at a higher level.

The book Jill refers to:

The Referral of a Lifetime by Tim Templeton

Putting Woodstock, Connecticut on the map. It’s not every day that a new sport is created - but that’s exactly what happened when three friends from a small town in Connecticut combined an old game called four square and volleyball. Growing up together in the “Quiet Corner” of CT, brothers Greg and Chris Meade constantly sought new sports and activities to keep them busy with their childhood friend Mike Delpapa.

The three friends struck an idea for a four-way volleyball game that merged traditional volleyball with the four square. By dividing the court into four quadrants, rather than in half, they envisioned a new game. After creating a prototype, inviting their friends to come play and not being able to turn them away they knew we were onto something!

Since that moment over 2 years ago, the trio has made it their mission to spread the game of CROSSNET throughout the world.

Zhenya Gerson had a goal when she established Exhale Wellness Spa - to create a space for people to relax, be nourished and supported through whatever health issues they may be
experiencing.

She is deeply passionate about helping people with their gut health, making it easier to get through their day, to think more clearly, and avoid the ‘tummy rumble’ in middle of that important meeting with your boss. Colonics are not just for those
with tummy troubles, they have so many benefits.

Zhenya has been a long-term and passionate advocate for the use of a footstool when doing your ‘bathroom business’ and was introduced to the PROPPR. She immediately loved its
sleek and attractive design and the clinic soon became a stockist.

THEN .... the Proppr Products business was listed on the market. Fast forward a few months and Zhenya is now the co-owner of the PROPPR with business partner Jacqueline.

In this interview Zhenya speaks candidly about her business journey - both her Wellness Spa as well as now owning a product business.

Her clients learn to discover their purpose, decide on a career direction, build their dream career, and grow their income.

An educator focused on excellence, Dr. Grace has said, "No matter what your educational or vocational background, behind every success there is a mountain of obstacles and an ocean of unfavorable odds. Everything looks like a failure halfway through. Progress often disguises itself as problems when in fact it is evidence of growth and improvement."

Dr Grace has spent 10 years helping professionals reinvent their careers, Dr. Grace has deep empathy for those from very humble beginnings. Her personal journey from being orphaned and then homeless at the age of 9 provided the backdrop for her to develop resilience and resourcefulness to survive. After a serendipitous meeting with an older couple who would later become her adoptive parents, Dr. Grace found that her story was resonating, especially how she leveraged education as her "ticket to freedom".

With no previous experience in the beauty industry, Dylan and one of his closest mates & former business partner saw potential and knew that there was a huge gap in the market, and that they had the next big product that could fill it.

For nine long months any spare moment was filled with extensive research, product development and developing what became Happy Skin Co.

They started with an investment of only $20 000 the company accelerated forward and skyrocketed past the $12 million mark.

Dylan says "Find us on Instagram - it's where all the magic happens"

He says: "The risk is staying in a place where I wasn't happy in a full time job" so he took the leap of faith when he knew the business was taking off.

Dylan also says "If you believe in yourself and you are prepared to work hard you'd be surprised how life starts figuring itself out for you. You truly can make your dreams come true if you are prepared to work for it ... and the thing is it gets easier to believe when things start happening. I wish I'd realised this a year ago"

It's a terrific interview and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a review or email me ingrid@healthynumbers.com.au

*Come join us in this FB Group:* **Healthy Numbers Profit Lab** *This is* ***the*** *community for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to build and grow a profitable business.*  *https://bit.ly/HNProfitLabGroup* Jeff Hall seemed destined to become an entrepreneur.

At the age of 7, he sold candy because money meant escaping his life of poverty and neglect.

At the age of 13, he acquired a reputation as a computer nerd at school quite by accident and began working on his school’s computers.

At 15, he began his company, Overflow Cafe, in order to keep from being evicted from his home, and at 17 was lying about his age to get the commercial lease for his first office.

Remarkably, he is still helping new and small businesses become popular online at Overflow Cafe 23 years later along with another 4 successful startups under his belt.

Travis is a serial entrepreneur, major risk taker, business commentator and health & wellness trail blazer.

Known for being the man who has never written a business plan, Travis began his entrepreneurial journey like many entrepreneurs – essentially broke and living out of the space that his business occupied. In this case, it was Result Based Training’s first location in South Melbourne.

Jones’ ‘do what it takes’ mantra and work ethic helped grow Result Based Training into an internationally recognised gym, launching six gyms across three states within the first 24 months. The last five years has seen the growth of Result Based Training from one gym in 2013 to 21 by February, 2018.

His companies include:

  • Result Based Training, a specialist body transformation gym in South Melbourne, with revenues in excess of $10million dollars.
  • Think Tank Australia, a cutting-edge coaching business that helps guide and coach SME's on how to grow their businesses into successful brands. Started with his wife Liv Jones, it saw $1.5million turnover within its first year.
  • Attain Digital Agency, also with Liv, is a digital marketing agency that manages over $1.5million dollars worth of client marketing campaigns.

Apart from their corporate ventures, both Travis and Liv have also gone on to create their passion project, If Not Now Then When, a foundation established to change the lives of children all over the world.

With a casino background he understands risk vs reward and where the true value lies in what you put your time and money into (hint: it’s not gambling!).

Now Ronan Leonard connects small business owners to support groups through the innovative concept of virtual Masterminds.

Without a co-founder or a business coach solopreneurs are often overwhelmed with to-do lists. They need impartial advice to get the right support to help them achieve clarity and better results.

Ronan believes we’ve lost our connection to a “tribe“ A community that will help you solve your problems and accelerate your learning. He believes that there is more value in making real peer-to-peer connections than paying external contractors who have no vested interest in your success.

It no longer aligned with her own personal views and beliefs of caring for the environment, animals and being a passionate vegetarian for 18 years. She saw a need to change the way people travel and so she set up The Sustainable Traveller, to help people become more aware of the environment by offering only eco friendly travel options.

It has been a slow and steady start creating a change in the travel market and it’s been liberating to finally raise awareness on issues she feels passionate about and to align her personal views and beliefs with a love for travel.

Dayana has received amazing feedback from people, businesses and within the travel trade who love what she's doing with The Sustainable Traveller brand. It’s exciting to finally have a platform to offer amazing eco friendly travel options, tours, products and eventually offer an online directory for travellers to easily search and book. So it’s a brand for both travellers and the travel industry to collaborate.

As Dayana says: "If we all choose to make just a small change to the way we travel, we can collectively make a positive difference for the environment."

What happens when you take a marketing and advertising background, add an English degree and then uncover a passion for entrepreneurship? Really cool stuff.

That's Kate, and she's the implementer of awesome ideas over at EOFire.

How did this come to be? Well, when she realized after all those years in marketing and advertising and the banking industry she didn't need Corporate America to determine her worth. Instead, Kate decided to determine her own worth by taking all of the knowledge and experience she'd gained and put it towards helping others recognize, create and build the business they've always dreamed of, but never thought possible.

Nicole Eckels, founder of Glasshouse Fragrances - one of Australia’s leading fragrance empires for the past ten years. I met Nicole recently when she was presenting at an event I attended. Her story is inspiring.

Nicole Eckels moved to Australia in 2005 from New York, craving a sea change and new lifestyle for herself and her son.

Searching Sydney Nicole was on the mission to find a new candle to replace a beloved candle she had previously purchased in New York City . She walked into David Jones – a high end department store with a reputation for the finer things in life

What she didn’t plan on was walking out of David Jones unsatisfied. There was nothing that was good quality or locally made.

In this episode I describe Nicole's startup story so we can learn from her experience.

  Kimberley Chan devoted over a decade to a career as a senior lawyer in international corporate organisations – which meant long, hard hours, high pressure and no room for failure. Whilst she had a solid, well-paying job, lived in a beautiful house in a gorgeous part of Sydney and was surrounded by a loving family and friends, she felt drained of life and by life. She was spent.

Kimberley spent a year of dipping her toes into various meditation styles – from mindfulness breathing to Buddhist, with varying degrees of success - before coming across Vedic Meditation. This technique was, by far, the most natural and effortless practice she had experienced.

“As I continued my twice daily meditation practice, I discovered a way to live and maintain the healthy, engaged and vibrant life I wanted, without feeling drained and withdrawing from the people and things I love. My physical and mental health improved dramatically. And, perhaps most importantly, I established clarity, purpose and a foundation upon which to view my life and my role in life,” says Kimberley Chan.

   In this interview conversation we hear Kimberley's business startup story.

One of the definitions of entrepreneur that I heard recently and really like is:

"Where once there was nothing, there now is something. The entrepreneur is the person who makes some thing where previously there was nothing"

This episode is all about entrepreneurship by this definition. Nik Mirkovic and Alex Tomic were just 2 blokes in south east Queensland. They looked for an idea for a business and they grew it into a $40million + business n just 3 years.

Where there was nothing .... and now there is Hi Smile!

Theirs is a terrific story. One day it would be great to have one or both of them on my podcast. Meanwhile, here is my version of their start up story.

Kim Victoria a marketing specialist who in her words “helps business owners & consultants land corporate clients”

Earlier this year Kim and I collaborated on her special project connecting women around the world called “Make Your Good Business Great”

In this honest and revealing interview Kim shares some terrific insights into the journey she has taken as she created and grew her business to what it is today.

Listen in especially to the part where she explains her initial pricing strategy. As she says “this strategy is not for everyone, it worked because it was me and how I do things”. We then have an interesting discussion about the difference between price and perceived value in the eyes of clients - this is one of my favourite topics.

Thy Nguyen began practicing yoga over 11 years ago as a way to find calm and peace from the stresses of school, and everyday life. She first stumbled upon ashtanga yoga, it was amazing; love at first practice. Breathing, sweating, and fully living in the moment, she had never felt more connected to life.

Soon after Thy discovered Modo hot yoga and her life was changed forever. After a number of yoga trainings, she made the decision to pursue her passion for yoga and become a full-time teacher. Thy truly loves teaching yoga, spreading the yoga love to everyone. She feels lucky, and blessed to have studied with a number of brilliant teachers including Jessica Robertson, Ted Grand, Ryan Leier, Rameen Peyrow, Bryan Kest, Sarah Powers, and Judith Hansen Lasater. She loves sharing her knowledge and passion for all aspects of yoga with her students and the community.

She also believes that the best part of teaching is learning; learning more about the postures, about people and their bodies, and more about herself. Her classes are fun and dynamic, with a sense of lightness. Her hope is that students carry their positive energy from practice off their mats and into their daily lives.
