About Sandy Warren:

Coach Sandy is the hat she wears; her experiences in life and her training bring her to this season in her life. Change and transformation come to all of us, bidden, or not, invited or resisted.

Her passion is to support her clients, encouraging them to take the wheel. She has moved through divorce, relocation, and being a single parent of two for many years.

Working on 100% commission and doing what was expected of me, with diligence and responsibility. She is now remarried, a grandmother of 4, and learning to play more. She has chosen to take her lessons, tools, and insights and bring them to you.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Sandy Warren discuss:

• Overcoming resistance to success
• Importance of self-awareness and tools
• Embracing discomfort for growth
• Leveraging personality assessments like DISC
• Building resilience through reflection and self-compassion

Key Takeaways:

• Identifying the areas of resistance in your business is the first step to overcoming them. 
• By understanding yourself and others better, you can adapt your approach to be more effective in sales, recruiting, and leadership. Don’t be afraid to revisit these assessments regularly as your circumstances change.
• Growth rarely happens within your comfort zone, and stepping outside of your familiar routines and challenging yourself can lead to significant personal and professional development. 
• Having the support of experienced guides can make all the difference in overcoming resistance and achieving your goals. 
• Take time to reflect on your journey, and consider how you can apply the lessons you’ve learned to tackle future obstacles with greater confidence and self-compassion.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Michael Whitehouse discuss:

• Knowing your networking goal and why you’re there
• Focusing on providing value, not just selling
• Differentiating yourself from the competition
• Identifying upstream referral partners, not just customers
• Building relationships before trying to make sales

Key Takeaways:

• Networking is about building relationships, not just making sales. 
• Differentiate yourself from the competition by focusing on the specific problems you solve, not just the products or services you offer, and this helps you stand out and connect with the right people.
• It’s important to identify your upstream referral partners – the people and businesses that work with your potential customers before they reach you because building these relationships can lead to valuable introductions and collaborations.
• Avoid the common mistake of just trying to “pitch” your business, and instead, ask questions to understand others’ needs and challenges, then demonstrate how you can help. 
• Start small in networking by focusing on providing value in each conversation, and you’ll gradually build a powerful network that supports your business growth.

“Instead of saying, “How do I shove my information at you?”, what you should instead be saying is, “How can I provide value to the person I’m talking to?” — Michael Whitehouse

About Dr. Karah Kruse:

Dr. Karah is a passionate naturopathic doctor dedicated to transforming lives by guiding women to achieve their ultimate health and wealth goals. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that true health remains undiscovered until the right conditions for it are created. Recognizing the unique challenges of our modern lifestyle, her approach is not about offering quick fixes but about empowering each woman to craft her dream life and body, one step at a time. Through a combination of skills, mentorship, and accountability, Dr. Karah leads her clients on a transformative journey toward lifelong health, wealth, and vitality.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Dr. Karah Kruse discuss:

• Hormones and stress connection
• Tracking food, glucose, and symptoms
• Vitamin D importance for bone health
• Reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors
• Integrating lifestyle changes gradually

Key Takeaways:

• Chronic stress can deplete the raw materials needed to produce reproductive hormones, leading to perimenopausal symptoms, and addressing stress management is crucial for regulating hormones.
• Utilize food journaling and continuous glucose monitoring to identify dietary triggers. 
• Vitamin D is a crucial hormone that plays a vital role in maintaining strong bones, especially as women transition through perimenopause and menopause. 
• Reduce exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Many common household products contain chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine system and contribute to hormone imbalances, and the implementation of these strategies to minimize exposure to these chemicals can have a positive impact on overall health.
• Implement gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes because overwhelming yourself with too many changes at once can lead to burnout. 

“Our FDA allows 2000 (chemicals) to be in use in the United States that are illegal in every other country. Yes, and they’re causing us harm… leading to our obesity rates and a lot of our hormone issues, and we can control it if we know it.” — Dr. Karah Kruse

• By carefully selecting individuals with a common goal and level of commitment, the facilitator can create a container of trust, respect, and shared understanding that enables profound personal and professional growth.
• Entrepreneurs who position the mastermind as an exclusive, high-value offering can attract a select group of clients who are willing to invest in the transformative power of peer-to-peer learning and support.
