Pull up a chair, because this one is personal. I'm taking you back to where it all started, what the world looked like, why I decided to take the leap, and what the messy middle actually felt like. Plus, I'm sharing the 5 biggest lessons five years of building has taught me. Some of these I learned the hard way. All of them changed how I operate.

In This Episode:

  • How and why I started the business — and what I thought it would look like
  • What was happening in the world at the time and how that shaped early decisions
  • The honest, unfiltered look at the journey in between
  • 5 lessons that have genuinely changed the way I run my business and my life

The 5 Lessons:

  1. Consistency matters more than almost anything else
  2. Your network will carry you further than any strategy
  3. Patience — it takes longer than you think to build something meaningful
  4. It's okay to change your mind and pivot
  5. Letting go of what other people think is a superpower

I talk about injuring my neck in chiropractic school and how recurring flare-ups forced me to slow down when my mindset told me to keep pushing. I share how discovering functional medicine changed not only the way I cared for patients, but also how I understood my own health, hormones, and nervous system.

This episode walks through my transition from chiropractic care to functional medicine, the burnout that came from trying to do it all, and the realization that true success has to support both your body and your business.

Fuel & Founder is a podcast for high-achieving women and female founders who want sustainable health, balanced hormones, and the energy to build success without burning themselves out in the process.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you as you grow your career or business, this episode is for you.
