Welcome back to another awesome episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we\\u2019re going to dive behind the scenes of an extremely accomplished Healthpreneur\\u2019s journey. Danielle Brooks, author of, "Good Decisions\\u201d is a nutritional therapist, a clinical herbalist, and the founder of a successful wellness clinic called Lake Washington Wellness.\\xa0

Danielle spent the beginning of her schooling and professional career being told that she couldn\\u2019t do things, which propelled her to push for her dreams despite uncertainty, fear, and a pesky ego (who can relate?). She learned that by leaning on trusted relationships and hiring the right people, she could reach heights she never thought possible \\u2013 and enjoy the process.

As entrepreneurs, we\\u2019ve all been there; we\\u2019ve been told \\u201cno,\\u201d we\\u2019ve been discouraged, and we\\u2019ve had moments where shit hit the fan. But what matters is how we choose to grow from those experiences. Tune in as Danielle and I reflect on how self-doubt inhibited her growth, how she moved past it to get what she truly wanted, and why she she\\u2019s so excited about helping people find peace with food and their bodies.\\xa0

In this episode, Danielle and I discuss:

  • Her mother\\u2019s parting words and how they impacted her.
  • Ignoring when others say you can\\u2019t do something.
  • What you need to start a business.
  • Swapping out fear for excitement.
  • Hiring good people and hiring out your weaknesses.\\xa0
