In the past 20 years, there has been a wave of women-owned businesses, and women selling those businesses. However, no one is really talking about it. In this mini series, host Kris Plachy is bringing women business owners on to talk about their experiences of selling their businesses. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris talks with Carey Peters. Carey shares her story of owning, selling, and buying multiple businesses over the span of 18 years, with a combined revenue of over $220 million. Carey details her journey from being a young actor to getting her start in health coaching and how she leveraged a partnership with a colleague to start Holistic MBA, and eventually selling that and rolling it into Holistic Coach Institute. She shares some nuggets of wisdom about critical aspects of the acquisition process and takes us through the highs and lows of business deals and negotiations, including the roller-coaster ride that was selling her cherished business. The chat shifts gears to what happens post-sale. Carey lays it bare about the range of emotions she experienced, following the acquisition. But amidst it all, she found peace, contentment, and the life-altering realization that business success does not define self-worth. There is so much we can learn from one another. So tune in to this episode of Leadership is Feminine to tap into the wealth of knowledge from a fellow woman, who has had an incredible business journey. “So what I learned is that when you're selling, you have to be able to tell the story that your business is an income machine, that if you put in x dollars, it's going to spit out y dollars, and that the total addressable market is z. So the story is you put an x, you spit out y, and this is the number of market share that we could potentially capture. And then that tells the buyer, like, ‘Oh, you know, I get it.'” Guest Bio In the past 17 years, Carey has founded or co-founded 6 companies that have served over 50,000 clients and students and generated over $200 million in revenue. Currently, you can see Carey as one of the main instructors of Health Coach Institute, a coaching education company she co-founded with her long-time business partner Stacey Morgenstern. After years of working with thousands of women to create powerful transformations in their lives, Carey has distilled all of her experience and expertise together for the first time in an all-new body of work called APPETITE: The Mastermind for Women Who Are Hungry For More.

Time Management Workshop About Molly: Molly Noerenberg is a life and embodiment coach for performing artists. As a coach, Molly helps people make transformational changes in the way they connect to themselves, their bodies, and their unique nervous systems so that they can bring their most authentic selves into the world. Working with Molly means you will have someone on your team with unwavering belief in what is possible for you. As a coach, Molly has an incredible passion for helping performers connect to their truest essence and finding ways to express themselves that make them feel truly alive.   A fellow performer and singer, Molly has spent her entire career supporting the hearts, minds, and lives of performers. Molly is a certified Life Coach from the Health Coach Institute(formerly Holistic MBA), received her Bachelor of the Arts in Vocal Performance from Carnegie Mellon University, her Masters of the Arts in Vocal Performance from New York University, and her Advanced Certificate from NYU in Vocal Pedagogy. Molly is the founder of the coaching practice ExpressedLife.com, in addition to serving on the faculty of NYU Steinhardt, and being the co-founder of the NYC Vocal Studio. The unchecked thoughts and beliefs are actually standing in the way of us just showing up. It creates that feeling in your body too. Catabolic energy and anabolic energy if it's always someone else's approval, permission, or job to decide if you're good enough, then what a miserable experience that will be in your life. Most artists want to perform at the highest level. But at each new level of success, we unlock a whole host of mindsets, stories, theories, and thoughts that we have to unpack and look at. It's tolerance of really uncomfortable, painful feelings. Walking through that fear is far less than continuing to live with it.  One of the things I learned about anxiety was that it's survivable. I always thought it was going to kill me. Anxiety is Manageable, Survivable, and I can handle it.  Actors who have performance anxiety: Number one, go to your body. Ask: How am I feeling? Have a systematic way. What does this body, what does this brain need to feel the most connected to myself, to be free to do the work that I came here to do? The clarity and the courage to look at, "who am I? Who do I want to be in the world? How do I contribute? What makes me feel alive?" And for so many actors, it is their acting work. And so what am I willing to do? Or find a way to do so that I can put myself in the position to be in my zone of genius? Like, how am I willing to work on this? Celebration and revelry of what you have the gift to do and to really like prioritize if there's something that makes you come alive. Do you know how many people are walking around just feeling like shells of themselves? The world needs more people who feel like themselves to connect to whatever they're doing. We deserve to find a way to get to that place, free ourselves, and be in a position to do the work we came here to do.  Obsessive versus harmonious passions. And for many of us, we were kind of like taught and trained that the only way to succeed is to have an obsessive passion, and that is a way to succeed. And a lot of people find a lot of success that way. But there are a lot of other people who are much more fulfilled through a harmonious blend of our passions. "I want to feel good." We're not taught how to feel good or how to honor our feelings, or how to notice how even just notice how we feel.  Schedule a free consult with Molly

It may be the season to be jolly, but it’s also the start of the flu season. I admit, I haven’t had a flu shot in years. I hardly get sick at all anymore. And today I have with me a special guest and good friend, Linda White, Certified Holistic Health and Transformation Coach and Yogi, who is going to talk about a couple of ways to stave off the flu, naturally. Flus Blues Welcome Linda! I’m so glad you have you here today! Before we begin, can you say a few words about what it is you do and how you began? In 2004 at the age of 40, I was pregnant with my 3rd child, moved ½ way across the country to where I am now, left my support network of friends and had to start over in a very toxic marriage. This is when I knew I had to do something. I began yoga for stress reduction. Fell in love with heated vinyasa. This is where I began to know myself. I knew I loved nutrition and came across Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I met Chris :) Went on to get a Holistic MBA and Masters in Transformational Coaching too! The transformational coaching was pivotal in helping me see where I was getting stuck in my life and learning how to move forward. I also have chemical sensitivities and wanted a perfume that didn’t make my lungs shut down. A friend told me about DoTerra Essential Oils and I signed on immediately not knowing the therapeutic benefits. Awesome. That’s quite a blend of skills! And I know how much you love essential oils. Before we talk about the flu can you tell us why essential oils are so powerful? Ok. So what are two things you do for your family during winter and flu season? I used to get the flu shot every year as well as my kids. I stopped that a few years back and now we are a lot healthier. I use doterra oils now. You can diffuse the oils use them topically or internally depending on the oil. For example, I use Onguard for keeping healthy during the winter months. It supports healthy immune and respritory function, protects against environmental threats, supports your body’s natural antioxidant defenses, promotes healthy circulation and the aroma is energizing and uplifting. A fantastic immune boosting blend is a mix of onguard, lemon, melaleuca and oregano oils in in capsule form taken orally. Oregano is powerful! antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant. Great for candida and and fungus. For sinuses, a blend I use is onguard, oregano, lemon, melaleuca, frankencense, rosemary. I also use Breathe oil in hot water and cup my hands around it and breathe it in to get right to my sinus cavities. Very cool. My personal go-to for when I’m feeling something about to come on – like that little tickle in my throat, is to reach for some herbal teas, manuka honey and zinc tablets. I’ll add those couple of Linda’s home remedies to my list on my downloads page at www.supersimplehealthy.com/downloads . My website is vibrantlifebylinda. I will be posting upcoming workshops on there. OK. Thanks you for being here Linda! I hope that was helpful! Please leave your comments and ratings on iTunes or Soundcloud, and feel free to share with friends or family! Until next time: Keep it simple. Be Healthy.

After a huge aha moment in the snowy streets of Chicago, Carey had a pivotal, life changing moment - pay attention to her health or continue down a deadly path of Captain crunch, taco bell and enormous amounts of diet coke. After attending a school to become a health coach, she decided that would be her day job, while moonlighting as an actor in LA. Problem was, she had no idea how to run a business, or a profitable one at that.
