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

Three Common Household Chemicals That Are Sabotaging Your Hormones: How To Reduce Exposure And Protect Your Family

Are you tired of doing everything “right” but still struggling with stubborn weight gain, frustrating hormonal imbalances, or low energy? The truth is, it’s not your fault. Hidden in your everyday environment are obesogens—sneaky chemicals that are sabotaging your efforts.

Your journey to a healthier, more vibrant you starts with understanding what’s holding you back. Don’t let these hidden toxins stand in the way of your wellness goals any longer!

Jay’s story includes losing EVERYTHING after the 2010 financial crisis and rising from the shame to shine as The Mastermind Guy. Jay helps Coaches and Experts with the programs the Six Figure Masterminds Bootcamp and Mastermind Mastery™: Create and Launch Your High-End Mastermind in 60 days.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Jay Fairbrother discuss:
Small, trust-based mastermind groups
Collaborative peer learning in masterminds
The transformative impact of masterminds
Direct sales-focused mastermind groups
Monetizing masterminds through exclusivity

Key Takeaways:
The power of a mastermind lies in the collective wisdom and experience of the group.
Instead of a one-way flow of information from the coach, masterminds foster a collaborative, peer-to-peer learning experience where participants can directly apply the insights and strategies shared by their peers.
For direct sales professionals, masterminds can be a game-changer, and whether it’s forming subgroups within the same company or connecting with leaders from different direct sales organizations, the mastermind model allows for a deeper level of support, accountability, and cross-pollination of ideas.
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.

“Within a few years, I quite literally went from being a multi-millionaire living in a mansion overlooking one of the rivers of Pittsburgh to living in my friend’s basement, broke, bankrupt, divorced, alone, humiliated, and really ashamed.” — Jay Fairbrother

Tax Incentives and Behavior Modification
Confidence and Faith in Entrepreneurship
Catering to Ideal Clients
Learning Sales Lessons from Unexpected Sources
Importance of Proactivity and Planning

Key Takeaways:
The government strategically creates tax laws to incentivize specific behaviors and actions and entrepreneurs who recognize these incentives can leverage them to maximize their business growth and profitability.

About Rodrigo Sepulveda:

Rodrigo Sepulveda is a self-described “culture hacker” with a passion for helping others unlock their full potential. Known for his adventurous spirit, Rodrigo views the world as his playground, frequently traveling and making new connections wherever he goes. A dedicated student of mindset, alchemy, and quantum physics, he continuously explores the deeper aspects of human potential and personal growth. Rodrigo thrives on fostering relationships and believes in the transformative power of connection, always eager to inspire and bring out the best in those around him.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Rodrigo Sepulveda discuss:

Cultivating an unwavering commitment to achieving success
Embodying the mindset and behaviors of a successful leader
Developing emotional mastery practices for optimal performance
Utilizing pattern interruption techniques to access higher consciousness
Aligning one’s transformed self-image with the desired outcome

Key Takeaways:

Maintaining an unwavering commitment to success is crucial for overcoming challenges and achieving your goals.
Through a process of self-brainwashing and embodying the characteristics of your desired future self, you can attract the right people and opportunities to support your growth.
Developing a deep understanding and mastery of your emotions is essential for sustainable success, and by recognizing the difference between green emotions, such as courage and play, and red emotions, like fear and anxiety, you can make decisions and take actions from a place of empowerment rather than limitation.
Whether through meditation, breathwork, or other mindfulness practices, these methods of  interrupting your current patterns and accessing higher states of consciousness can help you silence the logical mind and tap into the wisdom of your intuitive, emotional self.
Align your transformed self-image with the desired outcome you wish to achieve.

“If there is something that doesn’t resonate with my soul, I immediately pause and ask myself questions to validate what I’m feeling. I don’t ignore my feelings. I don’t ignore my intuition. ” — Rodrigo Sepulveda
