Isolated in a cult within a cult within a cult, Ashley was completely sheltered from the outside world. From infancy she was labeled as unruly and even demon-possessed. Determined to break her as a toddler, then later brag about it, her pastor grandfather took it too far. She would be forced into submission and gr**med to be a “stay-at-home daughter” until her father transferred authority to her betrothed husband.

She accomplished this with having her own lean private practice: taking care of her patients exactly the way she dreamt of, while still leaving her time to devote to family, travel and all else that she enjoys.The freedoms this has allowed her has made her an ardent advocate of lean practice as a sustainable model for many physicians to practice in. She writes about her journey and the lessons learned at Lean Private Practice Solutions and has built a thriving Facebook community around it.She has also created an innovative solution to the problem of high cost of medical office space with an online platform that connects doctors and other healthcare professionals to available medical office space to lease or sublet at LinkMedicalSpaces.com.Some of the topics we discussed were:Dr. Sadhu and her journeyThe first steps Dr. Sadhu took when she was starting her own private practiceIf she bills insurance or does a cash based practiceHow she organized the shared space for her practice and how it worksWhat Dr. Sadhu's virtual assistant can do for her How she dealt with the HIPAA aspect of hiring a virtual assistant If someone else uses the rooms during the days she is not using them, and how she keeps her stuff separate and secureThe lessons Dr. Sadhu learned from the obstacles she faced Tips for women physicians who would like to do something similar to herHow she teaches other physicians how to have a lean private practiceAnd more!Learn more about me or schedule a FREE coaching call:https://www.joyfulsuccessliving.com/Join the Voices of Women Physicians Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/190596326343825/Connect with Dr. Sadhu:Lean Private Practice Solutions Website:leanprivatepracticesolutions.comLean Private Practice Solutions Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/481168033795496/ Link Medical Spaces Website:https://www.linkmedicalspaces.com/

She decided to start her private practice after experiencing burnout from teletherapy and discovering the Start Your Private Practice program in 2022.Melissa has been one of our Start Start students who recently joined The Grow Your Private Practice Program. Melissa grew quickly, quicker than she thought she would. In this episode, she talks about how she went from zero to 30 clients in the first 3 months of starting her practice. Melissa shares how she started out by renting a dentist's waiting room for $50 a month, and expanded her practice through referrals and taking small, consistent steps.Melissa Perez graduated with a Masters of Science in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from New York University in May of 2020. She has spent the majority of their career working as a teletherapist for a clinic based in Palm Desert, CA. There, she had the opportunity to work with individuals across the lifespan with various communication difficulties. It was during her time there that she found a true love for working with children with speech sound disorders and the early intervention population.

Engaging Podcast Audience: The Mysterious Disappearance of MelissaIn 1971, a single mother named Alta Apantenco placed an ad in the local newspaper seeking a babysitter for her 21-month old daughter, Melissa. Little did Alta know that this simple act would set in motion a chain of events that would remain a mystery for the next 50 years.Alta received a response from a woman named Ruth Johnson, who seemed perfect for the job. Ruth assured Alta that she had a spacious yard for Melissa to play in and had experience caring for other children. With these reassurances, Alta trusted Ruth with the responsibility of looking after her beloved daughter.On August 23, 1971, Ruth arrived at Alta's home to pick up Melissa. Unfortunately, Alta had already left for work, but her roommate was there to welcome Ruth and hand over Melissa along with a diaper bag filled with the usual items for a day away from home. However, in the midst of the exchange, one crucial detail was overlooked - contact information. Neither Alta nor her roommate thought to exchange phone numbers or home addresses with Ruth before she left with Melissa.As the day came to a close, Melissa was not returned home as planned. The disappearance of Melissa remained a haunting mystery for half a century until an extraordinary turn of events occurred. Melissa decided to take a DNA test, which would uncover her true identity and lead her to confront the woman she believed to be her mother.Join Deb, along with Carmen, host of the captivating true crime podcast "Live, Laugh, Murder," as they delve into the intricate details of this perplexing case.

We're super excited this week to share a conversation with the globally known best selling author, TED speaker, social psychologist, and incredible roller skater, Amy Cuddy. Amy's TED talk on body language, the benefits of power poses and holding an expansive body posture is the second most viewed TED talk of all time. In this special episode where Greta met with Amy in Sydney, they focus on the work and writing that has kept Amy busy since she shot to fame with her TED talk and her follow-on best selling book on body language and power called: ‘Presence: Bringing your boldest self to your biggest challenges'. Amy's new work is all about bullying, particularly bullying in the workplace. This is something Amy unfortunately has had some pretty extreme first hand experience with. Amy's new book on dealing with bullying will be released next year (Bullies, Bystanders, and Bravehearts) and in this episode we're super fortunate to get a sneak preview of some of her well-researched advice on dealing with bullies. Plus on a much lighter note, Greta and Amy compare notes on ballet and roller skating too! In this fascinating episode you'll hear so many nuggets and stories including: How Amy isn't letting a broken jaw stop herHow common workplace bullying isWhat to do if you are being bulliedAnd why the chance to roller skate everyday makes Amy that much more creative in her work.

The pandemic has dramatically shifted and shaped the world of therapy, and it's prompted all of us to take a close look at our work and how we can do it best. We have learned that we, as therapists, can deploy our unique skill set in different realms than we originally planned, such as moving from the therapy room to bringing in online course income. This transition brings a struggle that is common to many clinicians, and it causes a tremendous amount of fear and imposter syndrome. Join us for this open and honest conversation. Our Featured GuestMineela ChandMineela Chand is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Wayne, PA. Besides being a corporate leadership coach and a certified brain spotting therapist who also has a divinity degree, she is a dear friend and colleague of several years. Since 2022, I have done monthly brain spotting sessions with Mineela, which I've found to be extremely beneficial. In today's session, we are discussing the three biggest roadblocks in going from clinical to online course income. Mineela has worked with a lot of therapists and online course creators, and she uses her background and experience to walk us through the mindset shifts in this transition.Mineela's LinkedIn and EmailYou'll Learn:How we can focus on our unique skills as therapists instead of the “role” we take onWhy the caring and helping professions are difficult to transition from–and leave us feeling guilty for wanting to do something elseThe three mindset roadblocks in the transition away from therapy to online course income:Visibility--How am I going to be seen?Ability–Can I do this?Stability–Will I have the finances to make it work?Why doing our work outside the privacy of the therapy room takes us outside our comfort zoneHow our personal trauma keeps us from showing up with a new level of visibilityHow Mineela handled “the fear monster” when it showed up for herHow it helps to “create a bridge” between what you read/learn and what you DO (Mineela explains how to create a bridge between what you know about therapy and what you want to do with an online course.)

Episode 165 / Thriller writer Amanda Traylor shares:The challenges of writing commercial fictionHow she shifted from romance to thrillers with romantic subplots and why that genre is a better fit for herHow she licensed a thriller series to a publisher then got the rights revertedWriting as a parent of a young childIntro link: Greta and Megan's kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/authorwheel/preparingtowriteTimestamps:[00:17:40] Marketing success varies due to individual circumstance and timely changes in the industry. Best practices may not work for everyone, and it's important to remain patient and pivot to new methods when necessary.[00:20:31] Amanda reflects on her past assumptions about her craft and the publishing industry. She learned that having education in the area was not enough.[00:24:05] The publishing industry is a hard business and rejection is common. To succeed, you must divorce yourself from the outcome and be willing to learn and grow from mistakes.[00:26:28] Write what you want, but it may not sell. Don't assume you are your audience, and be willing to make changes to appeal to them. Follow established tropes to succeed.[00:28:29] Amanda advises writers to be open-minded towards feedback and marketability of their work.[00:29:58] Amanda transitioned from young adult romance to romantic suspense, where she enjoyed playing with tropes. She focused on the mystery/thriller aspect while still including a romantic subplot.[00:36:15]Amanda signed over her crime thriller series to a publisher but ultimately took the rights back due to lack of marketing success. The experience was a good learning opportunity and the split was amicable.[00:43:39] Amanda took a year off  due to lack of help during pandemic.[00:45:27] Amanda shares her struggle with balancing motherhood and writing but finds success in separating her time and being present in the moment. She also learned to write on the go, utilizing time during her child's preschool commute to dictate words into her phone.[00:38:44] Networking with fellow writers and publishing professionals is crucial for support, understanding, and career advancement.

Katie's entire life changed in the blink of an eye when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor five years ago. Not only did she survive the terrifying diagnosis, surgery, and recovery, but she was committed to thriving throughout the entire process. She has since gone on to run the NYC marathon, start a career in publishing, and land an internship at UChicago Medicine where she now works.

From Hollywood Exec to Farmers Market Artisan - Walking away from a life that isn't workingHave you ever found yourself looking around at your life and thinking, on paper you have everything you ever wanted and worked hard for but something still doesn't feel quite right? Tracy Mazuer's life is a powerful example of this - AND how we can begin to find our way back to our true calling - even in the midst of chaos and unhappiness. This is one of those episodes that has the power to change the trajectory of your whole life if you happen to be ready for what it is trying to tell you. If you suspect that there is a different, more fulfilling life whispering to you and you are ready to do some reflection, pay close attention to the end of this episode because, i have some homework that will help you begin to tease all this apart and start down your own path of returning to your truest self. After wanting to be a successful Hollywood producer as long as she could remember and fighting her way up the dysfunctional ranks of Hollywood, Tracy spent 25 years tearing her hair out in Hollywood as a television executive producer, writer, and director. From Bachelors and Bachelorettes to Deals and No Deals, from the Littlest of People to Biggest of Losers, from Millionaire Matchmakers to Long Lost Families, from A-list celebs to D-list and beyond, Tracy did it all. One day while immersed in the stress of producing one of her shows, Tracy realized that instead of tearing out what remained of her hair, she was going to try breathing and doodling on her desk calendar. And what it led to changed her life completely, forever. The trees that emerged in her doodles reflected exactly what she was feeling — chaos, frustration, with bits of light and joy. There were so many feelings packed into these doodled trees! And with the gusto familiar to any newly minted artist, Tracy tore it off of that desk calendar, brought it home, and stuck it on the fridge. Her husband immediately declared her a “Toddler Savant” and Tracy's foray into the forest took root. She's now officially left “the biz” and combines her storytelling skills with her illustrations to bring her art Trees Have Feelings - to life. Tracy is a vivacious, fierce, powerhouse of a human. A gentle giant. She shares with us how she came to know it was time to leave behind everything she worked so hard to build in Hollywood so that she could follow the quiet whisper of her trees. Trigger warning; Tracy references some sexual trauma that she has endured, it is brief and not graphic but all the same I wanted you to have a heads up on that. Perhaps my biggest takeaway from this episode is how art and creativity don't stop pursuing us as long as it has gifts for us - and it always does. For most of Tracys life she felt she was not a ‘good' artist  - she told us herself all through school she couldn't draw the way she wanted to draw or sculpt the way she wanted to sculpt. Doodling found her in the midst of the trauma she was going through as a young child and stayed with her for many years. And it came back to her in the midst of the chaos, stress and turmoil in a job she hated but had worked so hard to earn. In fact from where i sit, it certainly seems that doodling saved her life. It turned up in her office that day and helped walk her out of a life that may have been slowly killing her and into a life of healing, joy and fulfillment with her trees. Tracy's story of ‘making it' as a producer in Hollywood and then realizing she hated it is one that perhaps many of us can relate to. It can feel almost impossible to look at everything you have invested into your career or relationship or even a community and friendships and realize that while they are exactly what you thought you wanted, in reality, they just aren't quite right for you. So many of us would rather (and often do) ignore these pangs - which is totally understandable - dismantling our lives is counter intuitive. We may be dealing with inner narratives like ‘I should be grateful for everything I have' or ‘this is just how my life is meant to be' or what about all that time/money/effort I spent to get here. And then there are the fears about what will happen when we tear it all down - will we have enough money? Will we be alone forever? Will your family and friends think we're crazy? It can feel like we are going crazy. But the truth is the crazy thing is staying in a life that does not fit, bring you joy, bring out the best in you or most importantly help you bring the gifts you were born to bring out into the world. How is it that we set ourselves down certain life paths if they are not what we truly want? Recognizing how we have done this in the past helps us recognize when we are doing it again and helps us to avoid venturing too far down a path that is not ours. The journey into these new unknown places can be a scary one, often filled with uncertainty - and vulnerability - but more and more i am seeing that those who choose to listen to that small quiet voice inside, nudging us, softly nagging at us and follow it where it is guiding them, seem to consistently be rewarded with a calm, serene fulfillment that i think we are all ultimately looking for. Things Tracy and I talk about Why we sometimes make life choices that do not reflect what our hearts truly wantThe traits she had to develop to survive the toxic hollywood environmentThe deep healing art has provided her even though her whole life she felt she couldn't draw things she wanted to draw or sculpt things she wanted to sculpt. The darkness that came out of her in her dark art brought her so much joy because she knew it was finally coming up and out of herHow collage (which had found her in school and came looking for her again when she went into therapy)  finding her in her 40s lead to some a profound healing of deep emotional woundsI got the chills when she told me about how the trees came out of her sketches in her miserable Hollywood office. Full of colour and light in the midst of anger and chaos and toxicity How she believed for her whole life, that when something really good happened that meant the bottom would soon fall out -  and how the trees helped her heal that belief. How she thought that if she really let herself explore the part of herself that was making and enjoying her art so much, that it would suddenly stop. Afraid of that pain. Resources discussed in this episode:Electric Light OrchestraThe People ShowUniversity of Kansas JournalismThe Home Show- ABCGood morning America - ABCPlaying it straight  - Fox TVBrene BrownGlennon doyleElizabeth GilbertEpisodes (tv show) ABOUTTracy Mazuer spent 25 years of her life tearing her hair out in Hollyweird as a television executive producer, writer, and director.
