Episode 215: Business Growth, Expansion & Going Viral
Today’s episode is all about energy in business, and how in order to be successful in business (whether that’s increased visibility, growth, expansion, or something else), you must first understand how your energy—your subconscious beliefs, your mindset—affect it.
In this episode Erin discusses her business expansion and going viral, the framework Erin created for visibility, and how she had to work on her energy and her mindset before she could truly expand and be seen. This is one of those episodes that was originally intended for entrepreneurs and business owners, but actually speaks to anyone looking to expand themselves. Tune in to understand why!
A Special 200th Episode: How it Started, How it’s Going & Answering Other Listener Questions
Today on the show Erin celebrates some big podcast milestones: 200 episodes and 2 million downloads!! Tune in to reminisce with Erin and hear answers to a smorgasbord of listener questions ranging from career pivots (is it ever too late? How about with a baby?) to whether coffee enemas are actually beneficial (and how to do one properly!) She also covers questions about molecular mimicry with gluten and thyroid, detoxing mycotoxins, what you should know about binders and serves up thought provoking questions to ask yourself when healing feels like a struggle.
Episode 199: Creating Space for YOU to Exist in Your Work & Your Life
What did you do to grow your business? What strategy did you use to expand your social media presence? How do you get more clients? These are the questions so many business owners and health practitioners ask when trying to grow or expand their own business; however, the answers don’t lie in steps and how-to’s.
Our subconscious beliefs and how they influence our health has been a theme on the show lately, and today Erin highlights how these beliefs can affect how we show up (or don’t show up) in our work, our business and our life. Tune in to hear takeaways from conversations about business and life that Erin has had with other business owners and practitioners, how she uses intuition to guide decisions, creating authentic connections on social media (or any platform), investing in personal growth and why creating a safe space for you to exist in your own work is paramount to success.
Episode 196: Confidence, Clarity & Courage for Practitioners: The #1 Thing in Your Way
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
We SAY we want success / financial freedom / bigger audience / more clients / private practice / fill in with your own personal goals… but deep down there is some part of our subconscious that is TERRIFIED of this. (Ain’t that a kick in the head?) In order to achieve our goals, hopes and dreams, we have to first acknowledge any mental blocks, limiting beliefs and/or fears that are standing in the way.
You MUST have practices in place to clear them, to move beyond them, to recognize them as untruths. (Because PS: It’s not that you have LESS limiting beliefs and fears as you grow, it’s that you get better at NOT believing they are true.) Because of this, we do A LOT of belief work in the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy. As Erin says, FNA is a container for growth. We won't let you sleep on your come up. In today’s episode Erin discusses one place where your limiting beliefs may come from, and how to recognize if this is holding you back.
Episode 166: Hear from an FNA Student!
Are you interested in joining the next round of the Funk'tional Nutrition Academy in September, but what to hear what it's *really* like inside the practitioner training? Today Integrative & Functional Dietitian Chelsea Sanfilippo shares her experience of the past 6 months.
Episode 164: Strategies for Sustainable Business Growth
In this episode, Erin shares the various ways she broke through her self-imposed ceiling to grow and level up her business. She explains why it can be hard to talk about money (especially as a woman), necessary mindset shifts for better returns on your investments, and the value of reciprocity in your business. Erin shares strategies she uses to grow her business and revenue - and it may not be what you think or assume. If you’re a practitioner you’ll definitely want to listen to this because if you’re not thinking about your practice as a business...well, you need to start. Tune in and Erin will tell you exactly why!
Episode 163: So You Want to Practice Functional Nutrition
In this episode, Erin talks to practitioners who may be considering her Funk’tional Nutrition Academy™ program and those who are interested in the world of functional nutrition and functional medicine. She discusses pressing issues she sees in the space, such as template medicine, lab testing, and clinical application, and also unpacks how her program fills a gap she and other colleagues have felt were missing from the functional nutrition training space.
If you’ve been thinking of joining this program or another functional nutrition program, want to know how the FNA will help you clinically and in terms of your marketing/business, or are just interested in the world of functional nutrition and functional medicine, this episode is for you!
Episode 162: Imposter Syndrome: Are You Talking Yourself Out of Your Own Potential?
Have you ever felt imposter syndrome before? Put simply, it’s the feeling that you’re a fraud or that you don’t belong in a space where you are - even though you have legitimate skills and effort that got you there. We may struggle with imposter syndrome for many reasons: we’re trying something new, we’ve become the little fish in a big pond, or we just feel like a phony or a fraud when pursuing something we’re passionate about. We often talk ourselves out of the thing we want to do for fear of not being good enough, and we worry that we don't have what it takes. “Who am I to do this” stampedes its way through our brain at the WORST possible times. (Like at the exact moment we’re about to make a leap forward.)
Episode 159: Cancel Culture, Online Illusions & the Fear that Holds You Back
Fear is a natural, primitive emotion that exists to keep us safe from danger. We’ve all experienced fear in our lives. While fear has useful purposes in today’s modern world, it can also hold us back from doing, saying, or even being what we really want. This has become especially true in the online space, where fears of being misinterpreted, judged, or “cancelled” run rampant.
In this episode, Erin discusses the insecurities and fears that have often held her back both in her business and in the online space, as well as trends she’s seeing on social media. Erin shares her insecurities and how she moves through this fear to show up as her most authentic self. Who do you show up for? If you’ve ever suffered from overthinking, shame, or failed to act due to a fear of failure, fear of not being enough, fear of upsetting someone, or fear of being judged, this podcast is definitely for you!
Episode 139: Strictly Biz - When People Want to Pick Your Brain
Today Erin picks up the conversation from Episode 124 and continues the discussion on the ways entitlement in business often arises, especially surrounding the seemingly innocuous question of whether to allow someone to pick your brain. If you’ve ever been asked for coffee (or have done the asking) with the question, “Can I pick your brain?” this episode is for you! This is part two of a three-part Strictly Biz series all about entitlement in business.
Episode 124: Strictly Biz - Are Clients Feeling Entitled to Your Time?
Part of managing your anxiety is managing your energy, and last week I discussed how establishing your own sacred, grounding practice is a smart antidote to festering anxiety. While a morning ritual doesn't magically make all of the world's problems disappear, it *does* give you the fortitude to navigate whatever lies ahead. We tend to be much less reactive and much more grounded and calm when we are making sure our own needs are being met, and when we are not sacrificing our own needs to keep other people comfortable.
This episode is part one of a three-part Strictly Biz series all about entitlement in business. You’ll want to listen to this one if you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries in your business or finding more of the people you want to work with. I talk about how I realized I needed to up my boundary game, building resilience and how setting boundaries in my business has not only NOT hurt it, it’s actually enhanced it. Setting (& keeping) boundaries has allowed me to find more of the people who respect them, and that, in turn, allows me to keep showing up in a big way.
Episode 123: Creating Your Morning Ritual
Feeling overwhelmed with life’s “not-knowingness” lately? You’re not alone. It seems that emotions are really tough right now. Between the pandemic, the election (that this episode is being released on election day is not lost on me), last minute changes with school, work and other plans - we’ve got lots going on and pulls in many different directions.
With all of this, it feels like an especially good time to talk about how to establish a grounded, sacred space for yourself. This episode is all about how to create a morning ritual that you’re drawn to and is meaningful to you. I’ll unpack what my 3 day panic attack taught me, how to create and take up space for yourself and why it’s so important to commit to yourself, even if just for a few moments, each day.
Episode 115: Strictly Biz - Determining Your Yes from Your No
This episode is for you if you have a challenging time discerning your YESes from your NOs.
I talk a LOT about boundaries and saying no...but you don't get far in business as an entrepreneur without a saying YES a real lot. So how do you recognize the things that need your energy from the things that don't? Today I’ll take you through my 3 step process to determine my yes or no. I will also address a listener question that came in about this very subject!
Episode 102: Your Wellness Business in the Time of Covid
There is this collective freak out happening with most small business owners about what to do with their businesses moving forward. So, I’m talking about something different - business - which is why this is a bonus episode. I’m sharing some of what’s in my head, like how to be a leader and why you need to be a leader, what NOT to do on social media, where to invest your time, and what to watch out for. I also cover how my mid-pandemic program launch went. Tune in if you’re a small business owner!
