Many of my clients have gone on to start their own career in health and wellness, and through the years I’ve spent more and more time supporting health coaches with business and marketing. Today I’m chatting with Katie Cooper, who had wonderful results years ago as a private client. Today she’s a certified health coach herself, working with healthcare professionals. I didn’t know it when I recorded this interview, but as it turns out, this is the final episode of She’s Got Power. It’s a fitting episode as I transition to focusing solely on helping health coaches build their businesses. Thank you so much for listening. If you’re a health coach, check out my Health Coach Power Community podcast and social media accounts.

Are you feeling worn down, experiencing symptoms you can’t explain despite receiving “normal” lab results, or just overwhelmed by going through life? You might be experiencing burnout, something that’s as common as it is debilitating.  Today’s guest Stephanie Graves experienced a level of burnout so extreme that it took her years to get to the root cause and turn her life around. She made a breakthrough when she found functional medicine and nutrition. And if you’re looking for a way to beat burnout too, functional medicine can help you prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental health.

So you know what? There is no episode this week. There is no episode, I guess. I am here to just tell you there is no episode. Because every time I look at my calendar, there's more stuff. There hasn't been a break in weeks. In months. And I thought, I can't not record my podcast. I have to record my podcast. It's on my calendar every week. We're always putting out the new episode a few weeks ahead of time. And this week I thought, I have nothing to say. I'm feeling quite burnt and I'm positive that many of you listening can relate. So I want to let you know that there is no episode today. I'm going to take a bath. I am going to take myself out to dinner. My kids are with their dad tonight, which is a nice break in a way. And I'm going to have dinner. I'm going to come home and take a bath. And that's it. And that's it. And I'm telling you, because this is your permission to say no to something. Not because you don't like it. You could like it very much. I love doing this podcast, but I just don't have it in you. It's these no's that we have to learn how to say out loud: "No, I'm not going to do that." Even when you feel like you really, really have to. But I'm positive that we are all going to survive if there is no episode this week.     
We’ve all felt that masculine energy of pushing our way forward or climbing the next rung on the ladder. In today’s episode we’ll explore the feminine side with guest, Maren Oslac.

Fantastic conversation. Thank you for addressing a topic that is common in my life. Learning to give yourself permission to not always need to be productive is great advice! I also enjoyed the discussion on giving yourself what you need first in order to be more present for those you hope to serve in your life. 🌟
