S2 E4: Carrots, Cancer, and Comebacks: How Life’s Hard Knocks Built My Million-Dollar Business

Life doesn’t come with a manual, but it sure comes with lessons - some that feel like sweet wins and others that hit like a gut punch. In this episode, I’m getting real about my journey, from being a Kraft mac & cheese aficionado (hot dogs and peas were mandatory) to facing unimaginable challenges that shaped me into the entrepreneur I am today.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I’ve walked through the fire - my daughter’s cancer diagnosis, crippling business failures, and that never-ending hustle to balance clinical skills with running an actual business. But you know what? Every hard knock taught me something that helped me create the thriving, million-dollar practice I run today.

Here’s the truth:

1️⃣ You can build the practice of your dreams - it starts with vision and focus.

2️⃣ Your words and mindset have more power than you think.

This isn’t just my story; it’s a reminder that no matter where you are or how messy things feel, there’s a way forward. So grab your coffee (or wine - no judgment) and join me for an honest, raw, and inspiring conversation about grit, grace, and getting back up again. 

Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
💡 Your words are powerful: Why the language you use shapes your success in life and business.
💡 Resilience 101: What I learned about strength and perseverance from my daughter’s fight against cancer.
