Welcome to Day One of the Practice & Profit Boot Camp! Today, we're looking at the full picture, where coaches and practitioners are leaving results (and money) on the table.    Action Steps From This Episode 1. Think about a past client — what questions should you have asked?  2. Reach back out. It's always easier to re-engage someone who already said yes once. 3. What's one thing you can change in your current approach — maybe even with a client you're seeing this afternoon? 4. Stop giving everything away in the first session. Make it an intake, not a giveaway. 5. Consider your pricing structure: are you selling sessions, or are you selling a journey?   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my girlfriends, Danielle Amos -- someone who truly shows up in the world in a way that's impossible to put in a box. Danielle is the host of The Mystic Millionaire, and she helps women transform their yearly income into monthly income by rewriting the beliefs, identity, and internal dialogue that keep them playing small.   What we cover: Danielle's origin story: going from burnt-out, $100K in debt, and flat on her face in network marketing to tripling her income within six months of meeting her mentor, Bob Proctor What "I vowed" actually looked like in practice -- following a system blindly, becoming coachable for the first time, and getting honest about all the programs she'd invested in but never actually did The law of assumption in action: how the chatter in your mind ("I'm annoying, I'm a burden") is quietly sabotaging your results before you even open your mouth Why you don't need to know the why behind your programming to release it -- and how observing yourself like a scientist (not a judge) is the shift that changes everything The elastic band theory: why the biggest financial risks create the biggest paybacks, and what it really means to act in faith vs. needing the net to appear first The "can't means won't" conversation -- this one triggered me as a mom, and we go back and forth on what it looks like to hold both your commitments and your family without choosing one or the other Writing your identity script: pen to paper, present tense, no limitations. Danielle's first script was 17 pages. Why the parts you resist doing are often where the breakthrough lives Three habits Danielle sees in her most successful clients: community that normalizes big conversations, feeding your mind deliberately, and noticing what you're focused on (then course-correcting) The vacuum law of prosperity and the law of sacrifice: why keeping your "stable" job while building your dream on the side means there's no room for the dream What to do when you feel like you're doing all the things and it's still not working (hint: your results always tell the truth) Danielle's simplicity answer: follow pleasure. Follow desire. If it doesn't feel good, don't do it.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

This one came to me on a walk (where most episodes do), and it's really about the intersection of what's changing in business, what's changing with consumers, and what isn't changing about the value you bring as a practitioner.   In this episode I cover: Stop being a generalist. Your credentials are your title, not your positioning. Become known for the problem you solve and the population you help The midlife health opportunity. There are more women navigating perimenopause and menopause right now than there are people equipped to help them.  Be the general contractor, not the one-stop shop. You don't have to be everything. Know your zone of genius, build a referral network, and cross-pollinate. Your "competition" might actually be your best referral partner. AI is commoditizing information. Meal plans, training programs, marketing copy, people can get those for free now. What they can't get from AI is your judgment, your context assessment, your ability to read between the lines, and your capacity to coach behavior change. That's your moat. Build an ecosystem, not a single offer. One-to-one work, group containers, self-paced programs, digital resources, hybrid delivery. Stay consistent. Stop pivoting every two months. Your audience gets confused and so do you. Pick your thing, stick to it, and build the lifetime value of your clients. Be the purple duck. If your industry is saturated, that's not an excuse to blend in. Learn from people who've actually done it. Surround yourself with mentors and peers who have the receipts, not just the talk.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

You know that feeling when you just want to pause, look back, and ask yourself, "What felt good these last few months? What didn't? What habits stuck, and which ones were maybe just a 'right now' thing?" That's the energy I brought into today's episode, and it turned into what I think is one of the most important conversations we've had on this podcast.   Here's what I cover: Why we fragment ourselves by symptom and lose sight of the whole picture of holistic health How symptoms are data, not a diagnosis  The endocrine system and digestive system connection: how supporting one system can resolve multiple symptoms at once (I walk through real examples: hair loss, constipation, PMS, brain fog, fatigue, reflux The 3:00 AM wake-up call: why it's not automatically "high cortisol" or "just perimenopause," and what questions you should actually be asking (hint: it starts with your morning, not your night) Blood sugar, fasting, and why some of you are going 15–16 hours without eating and wondering why you feel terrible Hormone replacement therapy: my personal experience at 47, why I started progesterone, what's shifting now, and why I don't believe HRT is the only answer  How to track your symptoms with detail so that when you sit down with a practitioner, you're giving them gold instead of "I just don't feel good" Why I only work one-to-one with women who've already gone through my foundational programs  Let's dive in!

This week, Chris and I are doing something a little different. We asked our community to submit their biggest money questions, and we're answering them — live, on the spot, with no sneak peeks at each other's answers beforehand. It's a fun, honest, sometimes surprising conversation about how we think about money as a couple. In this episode, we cover: A bonus question: who's really the "authoritative one" in our relationship  Whether we'd hand a 25-year-old $100K (and what parameters we'd put around it) The classic debate: pay off a 3% mortgage or invest that money instead Owning vs. renting a vacation property  Would we give up travel for five years to retire five years earlier? (Short answer: not a chance) Do we tell each other about every purchase? Plus, the early years when we were in financial survival mode Lending money to family  Would we buy our kids a house? What we'd actually do instead The big one: would we keep working with $10 million in the bank? (Chris's answer genuinely surprised me) A personal story about my parents' recent move at 81 and 83, and the reminder that there's no guarantee of "the right time"   Let's dive in!

In this episode, I'm tackling something I see constantly in my DMs and community: the frustrating gap between what practitioners can offer and what clients actually need — and why the "more data" approach that AI has supercharged is often making things worse, not better   What I cover: Why real clinical magic isn't about more data The AI trap: why a 50-page Claude-generated report isn't actually more helpful than a focused, thoughtful plan (and why I see this same pattern in both health and business coaching) Why timeline and health history conversations are non-negotiable  The client's responsibility vs. the practitioner's responsibility  A full client case study: how a "stressed out, can't lose weight" presentation turned out to be Hashimoto's, gut dysbiosis, gluten intolerance, and low progesterone My deep dive into why bodies stall out: thyroid conversion issues, HPA axis/cortisol dysregulation, insulin resistance, dieting history, liver clearance of estrogen, sleep  Hair loss deep dive: thyroid antibodies, full iron panels, androgen patterns, and delayed telogen effluvium Why the wellness industry's business models are burning out even the most skilled practitioners, and the phased-protocol approach I actually use with clients now My take on the Dr. Mary Claire Haver conversation happening online right now, and why I refuse to shrink my work to make other people comfortable Why I built the Simplicity Method to be 50% clinical, 50% business.   Let's dive in!

In this episode, we sat down with mortgage expert Alex to break down one of the topics that comes up in our conversations with clients constantly: mortgages, home ownership, and how to make smart money decisions without the fear and confusion that usually comes with it.   If you've ever felt anxious about your mortgage renewal, confused about fixed vs. variable rates, or unsure whether paying off your home faster is actually the "smart" move — this episode is for you. What we cover: Why the ultra-low rates of 2020–2022 were the anomaly, not the norm, and what a "normalized" rate environment actually means for you What to do if your mortgage renewal is coming up in the next 6–12 months (spoiler: start now, not later) How inflation quietly erodes your purchasing power — and why obsessing over the Bank of Canada headlines isn't serving you Fixed vs. variable mortgages: the framework Alex's team uses (PREPARE) to help people actually choose the right one for their life, not just chase the lowest rate Why working with a broker can open doors a single bank never will Rent vs. buy — is homeownership still the "right" financial move, or does it depend on you? The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) and easy, low-cost ways to set your kids up for homeownership years in advance Living inheritances — why giving your kids a financial head start now might matter more than what they'd receive later Should you rush to pay off your mortgage, or is that money better working for you elsewhere? How we talk about money with our own kids, and why the language we use shapes their relationship with it for life   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.
