"I wanted to go out and change the world, but I couldn't find a babysitter". This week I'm talking with Catherine Edsell, expedition leader and yoga teacher. Catherine spent her life leading scuba diving and trekking adventures and all sorts of crazy experiences around the world. She gave up running expeditions when she had her two children, and realized she felt like she'd lost part of herself, so she decided to find a way to do expeditions again. I think you'll really like hearing about her experience and how she managed to find a way back to running her business even with having young children. We talk about Catherine's business and how it's evolved as her children get older, her TedXLondon talk (her first real public speaking event!), how she finds balance as a wellpreneur and her women's only expeditions to Namibia tracking desert elephants.Episode Links:http://www.cathadventure.com/https://wellpreneuronline.com/decisionkit/http://wellpreneuronline.com/hcs/Join 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/Connect with us:www.facebook.com/Wellpreneurwww.facebook.com/matriarchadventureInstagram: instagram.com/wellpreneurinstagram.com/cathadventure/

Today I have a fabulous pair of podcasters on the show: Zoe and Erica of HTW (Highway to Well) podcast. They are also the founders of BluePrint Cleanse which they started out in 2007 as cold-pressed juice company. They grew that business spectacularly and ended up selling it, and their passion moved further onto exploring the business of being well which is what their new podcast is about. So in this week's interview we're going to be talking about their personal journey in the wellness industry, how they started, grew and sold BluePrint, we're also talking trends they are seeing right now in the industry that they are not too thrilled about so we are shedding some light on it through the podcast. Episode Links:www.htwpodcast.comamandacook.me/planner/Join 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/Connect with us:www.facebook.com/WellpreneurInstagram: instagram.com/wellpreneurhttps://www.instagram.com/htwpodcast/

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!Episode Links:holisticfoodjourney.comamandacook.me/coachingJoin 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/Connect with us:www.facebook.com/Wellpreneurwww.facebook.com/holisticfjInstagram: instagram.com/wellpreneurinstagram.com/Holisticfoodjourney/

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.Episode Links:cadoicecream.comwellpreneurbook.comwww.nosh.comwww.bevnet.comhttps://amzn.to/2z8E5zaJoin 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/!Connect with us:www.facebook.com/Wellpreneurwww.facebook.com/cadoicecreamInstagram: instagram.com/wellpreneurinstagram.com/cadoicecream

This week's interview is all about digital marketing goodness.

My today's guest is Nagina Abdullah, and she runs a business called Masala Body, weight loss but with delicious spices. If you've ever wondered how an online health coaching business really works you'll love this interview, because Nagina gets really open about how she runs her business and all the techie bits that help her online marketing. One of the interesting things that you'll hear in this interview is that Nagina doesn't have any products or services listed on her website, and yes you heard right! Her whole approach is for people who get on her website to just get on her email list and she makes offers from there. SO she created this really cool online program that she launches on a regular basis and that really helped her grow her business.

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!Episode Links:AmandaCook.me/loveyourworkJoin ConvertKit Landing Page Challenge!

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.Episode Links:www.diasporaco.comoaktownspiceshop.comWellpreneur Book: amzn.to/2DDD5qsJoin ConvertKit Landing Page Challenge!

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.Episode Links:AmandaCook.meAMA episode coming up, you can post questions or topics you'd like us to tackle on the show HERE: bit.ly/2Obd58c2019 Total Wellness Summit bit.ly/fmtvtotalJoin 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/!Connect with me:www.facebook.com/Wellpreneurinstagram.com/wellpreneur

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.Episode Links:DrChatterjee.comFeel Better.

This week we're jumping into another installment of the Real Wellpreneur series. My guest today is Dr. Alexis Shields, a naturopathic physician who's also a digital nomad, running her business completely virtually and living in different locations around the world. And just like we talked about in the first episode of the season (Freedom and Flexibility), being a real wellpreneur and taking your business online doesn't necessarily have to be changing location: it can be working 3 days a week or taking the summers off, or whatever freedom means to YOU and shaping your business to fit that. And that's exactly what Alexis had done, and from her story you'll see how she's been able to make a thriving business. I know you'll especially enjoy this episode if you are a doctor looking for ways to grow your business and because taking your business online is not always an option, you'll hear from a fellow wellpreneur how you can work within these restrictions. Plus Alexis mentions tons of useful tools you can use in your biz and you'll find them all in the show notes.Episode Links:DrAlexisShields.comThe 4-Hour Workweek https://amzn.to/2BFofw6Slack.combit.ly/wellprhsdocs.google.comDropbox.comWellpreneurOnline.com/plannerJoin 4,000 other wellpreneurs in our Wellpreneur Community FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/wellpreneur/!Connect with uswww.facebook.com/Wellpreneurwww.facebook.com/DrAlexisShieldsTwitter: twitter.com/wellpreneursInstagram: instagram.com/wellpreneurinstagram.com/dralexisshields

A brilliant example of a wellpreneur who created her business around what works best for her.
