Do you have the tools to navigate sensitive topics with wisdom and discernment? Navigating uncomfortable situations takes foresight and a willingness to accept how your words IMPACT the outcome of each of your engagements.     On this episode of IMPACT,  Sam Horn joins us for a second round of linguistic wisdom as she breaks down her framework for navigating difficult conversations from her book: Talking on Eggshells. She teaches you how to pause a situation so that you can interact with wisdom, grace, and presence.    The first thought that pops into your head does not always lead to a positive outcome. Sam shows you how to flip the script and shift from shaming to shaping behavior with critical thinking, personal responsibility, and empathy.     Interrupting communication patterns is hard, but Sam’s framework helps you master proactive grace and conscious language. Sometimes wisdom means knowing what topics are off limits so you can focus on commonalities instead of frivolous conflicts. Sam explains her theory about quicksand conversations and how she sets conversation boundaries to preserve long-lasting relationships.   This episode will help you navigate any conversation with confidence and grace.

  Are you stuck in an endless self-destructive pattern? Each of us is on our own spiritual journey, and it takes courage to acknowledge our weaknesses, but once you take ownership of your faults you can break free from the paradigm and forge a new path to your authentic self.    On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan shares about her continued commitment to building her WORTH ethic as discussed previously in episode 311 “Why I Burned Out In 2022 & How I Am Going To Fix It.” Meghan details the shift in her physical and mental well-being after she devoted herself to an honest self-assessment. She learned that you can not free yourself from negative patterns until you acknowledge they exist.   The essential you is worthy, although your ego can prevent you from expressing your authentic self. With each experience, you develop new neural pathways and expectations that shape your worldview and behavior. Without healthy self-awareness, you can get stuck in a negative feedback loop. You can break free from learned behaviors, patterns, and the stories that keep you from stepping into your full power.    Meghan speaks to the power of self-reflection and self-love. You can blame others for how they treat you, but you can only control how you treat yourself. As you build awareness of your inner voice, you can repair negative self-talk to stop cycles of endless negativity and self-doubt. How you treat yourself sets the standard for everyone around you. People instinctually pick up on your behavior, so be kind to yourself, and you may be surprised to find that the world is a loving arena to play in.    This episode offers practical tips and tools for building a positive relationship with oneself, repairing negative self-talk, and breaking free from the paradigms that hold us back. Tune in to hear Meghan's inspiring story and learn how you too can break free from negative patterns.

MEGHAN WALKER MeghanWalker.com @drmeghanwalker   MEMORABLE QUOTES: “If you can’t treat yourself the way you want to be treated, it is a really hard sell to get other people to do it for you.” -Dr. Meghan Walker    “Get really clear about telling what it is precisely that we want. This assumption that if we’re nice to other people they should just know, cause they love us enough, leads us down a dead road of assumptions and storytelling.”   -Dr. Meghan Walker    “What’s right for me doesn’t have to be right for other people to still be right for me, and it might sound so simple, but it is so profound.”   -Dr. Meghan Walker    “We've been fed a narrative that these people exist in the world who can read every single desire you have in your heart because they love you enough. What if that actually isn't true at all? What if part of your job is to just be really clear on the things that you need to thrive physically and emotionally and with compassion you share those.” -Dr. Meghan Walker    “Sometimes when we are leading a movement, we need to recognize that not everyone is going to want to walk alongside that.” -Dr. Meghan Walker

You can have less money than you want to have and still be in integrity.”  Kiné Corder   “Can you shift your prosperity birthright? Sure you can, but that’s the work you were talking about. You’ve got to do your work.”  Kiné Corder   “You’ll need emotional mastery and part of emotional mastery doesn’t mean that you’re good at all the areas of what I call the money cycle, it just means you know which ones are your strengths and which ones you might be challenged with and you work around them.”   Kiné Corder   “I want us to be able to talk about money in a forward momentum capacity while simultaneously honoring the trauma that seems to be triggered when we, when we go there. And the intention here is that we find a way forward so that these two things can move into a state of momentum simultaneously. Because I don't want, I don't want people's progress with respect to money to be shelved while we're unpacking the trauma piece. I actually feel like money can be a catalyst to unpack these components.” Dr. Meghan Walker    “It's really hard to talk about where we could go if we don't acknowledge where we came from.” Dr. Meghan Walker

You picked the wrong girl, and I just said to myself, GET UP! This is not your life, and if you allow this situation and this person to derail your dreams and your future, and what you wanted, then he may as well have killed you, so GET UP!” -Jennifer Gilbert    “There is no contest when it comes to how somebody feels about a situation like we’re all just in our own stuff, so it’s not a, worse or better, it’s just a relative.”  [24:50]   -Jennifer Gilbert    “It really is a shift, because once you realize all I can do is control myself when I wake up or control my emotions about a situation, then you take back the power in your life, and so fear doesn't become this huge thing that is looming out there.” [28:50] -Jennifer Gilbert    “Incredibly triumphant things can come out of the face of trauma.”  - Dr. Meghan Walker   “So for me I was like well it already happened and I couldn't control it and I can't control anything else that's ever gonna happen in this life, but I can control myself and I can make a decision on how I'm going to handle this and who I'm going to be afterwards.” - Jennifer Gilbert   “So I think not having fear about what's going to happen allows you as an entrepreneur to throw your idea out there or to say I'm gonna try it cuz what's the worst that can happen, it won't happen. Okay, well so what else? Try something else.” - Jennifer Gilbert  

How do you earn respect?   We often hide behind credentials, but genuine respect is earned by those bold enough to solve problems, lead with intention, and communicate effectively.    On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan is joined by Sam Horn, an accomplished author of 9 award-winning books, an impactful speaker and expert in powerful language who has coached entrepreneurs all over the world. Sam believe one of the best ways we can disrupt the way we do business is to disrupt the way we communicate and together with Meghan, redefines what it means to be a "powerful leader."   Respect is never demanded, it’s earned. How you communicate outweighs what you are communicating. Every interaction either builds a relationship or undermines it. Proper communication can empower you and your audience.    Can you summarize your vision in 60 seconds? That’s how quickly you lose the attention of your audience! Sam teaches you how to get attention and hold it and how to harness your power through her leadership framework.    Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from a master of intrigue about earning the respect you deserve and becoming a leader with impact!        KEY TAKEAWAYS [7:40] Who is Sam Horn?

The word imagine pulls people out of their preoccupation because they’re picturing your point! They’re not distracted, they’re seeing what you’re saying.”  -Sam Horn   “We can either reflect what is happening or we can direct what is happening, and if we are paying attention to the nuance, and to what we do want, instead of what we don’t, we often can say something that will facilitate that.”  -Sam Horn   “In the real world, there are times we are the messenger of bad news, and we can’t change the bad news. We can change the way we deliver the bad news, so at least people know that we care, instead of shrugging our shoulders, not my fault, don’t blame me, nothing I can do.”  -Sam Horn   “Richard Branson said, time is the new money. And I think that time is a new trust and the clock starts ticking the second we stop talking. So if we hit the ground running, then people's eyebrows go up and we have earned their respect because we've already delivered value.”  -Sam Horn   "A huge part of leadership is about listening and reading the room." -Sam Horn   “The language we use is so important, as it can either create a sense of powerlessness or empowerment in ourselves and others.” -Sam Horn   "The through line from power to powerful and the thing that enables the zipline from one to the other is work on or acknowledgement of your self-worth. And the deeper your self-worth goes, the easier it is to move towards places that make you powerful as opposed to hanging onto power." -Dr. Meghan Walker   "When we have a rising tide mentality, power is just defined as the ability to get things done. And if we want to get things done, then the more we enlist people and cooperate with them and make it a win for them, the more they will want to do this instead of they have to, or they're being paid to or they're being told to." -Sam Horn   "Our role and goal in life is to be a peacemaker and to see how we can use language and set an example so other people respond in kind." -Sam Horn

Trusting that you are in the right place at the right time. Doing the work so that you have the power, and strength to hold a presence in a particular room. Whether that is across from your client or whether that is in decision-making in your business. This ownership of authority is sometimes something we have not been socialized to have.”   Dr. Meghan Walker   “If you make the decision to hand power to this lateral validation crew, then what happens is, you are giving permission to their opinions to set your standard for success.”    Dr. Meghan Walker   “If you decide that the opinions of your colleagues matter, then what happens is, you’re going to be held back to the lowest common denominator level.”    Dr. Meghan Walker  

This week on IMPACT, Adele Tevlin is shaking things up with a conversation that may trigger some female entrepreneurs. It's time to stop reacting and start setting boundaries that protect your values.   Are you struggling to express your boundaries? Adele has a powerful message for you. When it comes to contracts, there must be mutual love and respect for each other's non-negotiable values. Adele will shift your understanding of contracts and reveal what happens when you cross boundaries in business.   As a holistic nutritionist and mindset coach for female entrepreneurs, Adele understands the power of contracts as a sacred tool that upholds a code of conduct, even when emotions run high. When you fall out of alignment with the divine feminine and begin acting from the wounded feminine, you may fall into destructive patterns.    In business, anger is a destructive force, but Adele has the solution. By formulating a contract that protects your values, you can avoid toxic behaviors like manipulation and aggression with your associates. Setting boundaries is an act of love for yourself and those who enter into a contract with you. It's time to start operating with integrity and create a sacred contract that truly supports your success.   Ready to become solution-oriented and balance your boundaries with empathy?

When she’s in her divine feminine, she’s grounded, she’s powerful, she’s full of integrity, she’s in her most mature state, but when a woman is in her fractured feminine, and she’s got her back against the wall or she’s triggered, she goes into things like being a victim. She goes into behaviors like manipulation.”    Adele Tevlin   “It’s all unicorns and rainbows when you’re happy, but the minute something goes wrong, all of us are primordial minds that will go into defensiveness or reaction, so intelligence is actually low. The contract is there to serve as that sacred template, no matter what the circumstances are.”     Adele Tevlin    "Boundaries are compassionate. Boundaries are an act of love. Boundaries are a communion between two people that says, "I respect you, you respect me." Adele Tevlin   “What am I telling my consciousness if I don't uphold my contract? My contract means nothing. And for me, my word is law.” Adele Tevlin   "When we can heal collectively as women we have the power to really change not just the world but the fabric of how women do business together and the impact that we can have.”   Adele Tevlin   "Most people operate their business with standards rather than boundaries."   Adele Tevlin   "There's a part two of this conversation which is how to have difficult conversations cuz we're not good at that. So I think sometimes we resort to manipulation because it saves us from having to have a challenging conversation. And in our own mind it reconciles the situation to make it the other person’s fault.”   Dr. Meghan Walker This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by Practice Better.

It's not bad to owe money. You can look at debt as an investment. If you take on debt because it's an investment in yourself or in your business that should be looked at as a very healthy thing. That is a resource that we have a privilege to have, but we shouldn't make the loan the bad guy. -Mary Shores   “It can feel like someone has taken advantage of us. It can feel all different kinds of ways, but I think we don’t talk about it, and what we really need to do is have solutions in place, understand this as a business function and a business role, make plans for it accordingly, but more importantly, learn to let go of it!”    -Mary Shores   “When you talk to someone, you're asking them questions, you’re getting them to open up. You’re getting them to discuss the emotions of it, and what we know from social psychologists is that discussing the emotions behind a feeling helps those feelings dissipate.”      - Mary Shores   "There's a deep shame associated with owing money."    - Mary Shores   "When I engage with someone and deliver a service for someone, this is like a sacred act of my life's work.

On this episode of IMPACT, we scientifically dismantle the myth that hard work yields the best results and teach you how to optimize your human potential! This week’s guest is the father of biohacking, Dave Asprey. With the help of his revolutionary time-saving approach to health, he has authored 4 New York Times best-selling books and is well on his way to his fifth with his latest book Smarter Not Harder!    If you want to maximize your IMPACT, Asprey’s protocol will eliminate hours of unnecessary work and will actually make you more productive than ever. As an entrepreneur, your time is valuable, and fighting your body's natural propensity for laziness is actually hindering you in the long run.    The harder you push yourself, the deeper your body goes into survival mode rendering your vigorous exercise and perfect diet useless. Your body cannot distinguish exercise from survival stress, so those intense workouts convince your body that your life is at stake. Asprey teaches you how to quickly trick your operating system into fight or flight mode and then efficiently reset back into rest and recovery. This quick transition mimics the body's natural rhythm of short bursts of high stress balanced by long-lasting laziness. You really only need a 5-minute exercise a few times a week to produce the best results possible!   Imagine all that you can achieve with all that extra time available to you! In this episode, Dave Asprey, is true to his word and teaches you how to work Smarter Not Harder!   Listen now and get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity.

That would've been really, really helpful cuz I was toiling under the mindset that I had to do everything myself because no one would help me or wanted to help me.” -Dave Asprey   “When you look at the human body, there is probably a separate intelligence running your meat, that is not you and is faster than you!   -Dave Asprey   “There is no one who wants to be healthy as their first thing except people who are incredibly sick like I was when I had chronic fatigue. When you can’t get out of bed because you’re sick, when you think you might die, that’s when you want your health back.”    -Dave Asprey   “When you really learn how to manifest what you’re doing is, you’re interfacing with your operating system and you’re getting in alignment and you’re telling it that it is safe and should expect to see something, and when it expects to see something, it will see it and when it sees it, it’s real.”      -Dave Asprey   “Your immune cells the mast cells, they’re looking for potential threats and when they find one they explode and release all sorts of mitochondrial signaling molecules called inflammatory cytokines, so if you were to just look at mast cells and look at mitochondrial function, you would solve about 90% of what’s going on in medicine.”     -Dave Asprey This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by Practice Better.

The age of transactional care is coming to an end! Artificial Intelligence is disrupting every industry and medicine is no exception. On this episode of IMPACT, host Dr. Meghan Walker tested this theory and asked ChatGPT to create a plan for menopausal women and it formulated a program that could easily replace the first 4 visits with most doctors. What does this mean for care providers? It means that you need to provide more than just the essentials, you need to provide transformational care!   You won’t help people by lowering costs, if you want to truly help your patients you need to innovate what you offer. Creating a signature system in your clinical practice, not only helps your patients but also future proofs your business against AI innovations.    Meghan maps out how to design a transformational care plan using her A.C.T.I.O.N framework, just 6 steps that will take your practice to a whole new level to attract clients and keep them. To provide life changing care, you need to be specific about exactly who you intend to transform and how you’re going to do it. Serving everyone usually serves no one, so commiting to a niche is an important step in crafting your signature system.   By stepping outside the norms of care, you will set yourself apart from practitioners who are strictly transactional. Creating a system aimed at transformation gives patients emotional support, resources and a deeper understanding of what is happening in their own body.     Want to take this A.C.T.I.O.N framework, break it down to the granular level and build out your signature approach to care? Then join Meghan on March 9th at her Signature Care System Implementation Lab. By the end of the day, you'll have gotten actual work done to create a unique care plan that will attract clients, add another barrier between yourself and a technology like ChatGPT, future-proof your business, and move it away from a series of transactions and into a transformational experience.    Listen to this week’s episode and register for The Signature Care System Implementation Lab with Dr. Meghan Walker on March 9th from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m EST at signaturesystem.biz.    Let’s set a new standard for care and take your business to a whole new level!   KEY TAKEAWAYS [4:10] Is Artificial Intelligence an existential threat to humanity?

Any clinician can wear any type of hat. It’s the strategist who earns the most because it’s the strategist who has the most responsibility. It’s the strategist who designs and refines the transformational process.”     Dr. Meghan Walker   “For patients, when they can get a more comprehensive, insightful understanding of what’s happening in their body, it significantly elevates compliance.”    Dr. Meghan Walker   “I want to examine this topic from a really objective place because I think one of the thinking traps we could move into on this is that, oh, I've got time because I'm in one of these impenetrable vocations that's not necessarily gonna be on the first target hit list for artificial intelligence.” Dr. Meghan Walker “One of the cool things that we see when we move someone from a transactional system of care to a transformational system of care is we actually see those patients and those practitioners working with one another three times longer. There is a financial benefit to that because you are interacting with that patient three times longer.” Dr. Meghan Walker This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by The DNA Company.

Do you feel disempowered by your assumptions around money? This week on IMPACT, Dr. Meghan Walker is busting the money myths and mindset mistakes that are dictating your relationship with money so you can break free from limiting beliefs and take control of your financial future. Throughout the episode, Meghan breaks down the four levels of her money mindset framework, so you can assess where you are in your relationship with money. Building your future state begins with being ruthlessly honest and truly acknowledging where you are and where you would like to be. Once you know what level you’re playing at, you can adjust your mindset and take on a new course of action to change the trajectory of your finances.  Your parents' attitude towards finances, your past financial blunders, and your expectation around money heavily influence your beliefs of what is financially possible. This is why Meghan also breaks down the 7 tools you need to shift your relationship with money into a higher vibration to toss aside your limiting beliefs and grab hold of the financial situation you desire. And what if we treated and committed to our relationship with money the way we do our other relationships? Then what might be possible?  Tune in to this week’s episode to find out! Oh and FYI, you’re going to want to make sure you’re in front of your keyboard, ready to go in your notes section on your phone or with paper and pen in hand to capture all the crucial information Meghan lays down to shift your relationship with money today.

MEGHAN WALKER   https://www.instagram.com/drmeghanwalker/   https://meghanwalker.com/   https://www.facebook.com/drmeghanwalker   https://linktr.ee/drmeghanwalker   https://www.impactmedicinebook.com MEMORABLE QUOTES   “When it comes to achieving a future outcome, losing weight, building wealth; the part of our brain that protects us from putting in too much effort only to be disappointed, it is fully lit up in both of these paths.”    Dr. Meghan Walker   “Shift the mindset pieces, so that you are open to making different decisions, and when you  make different decisions and align them with different actions, you get a different outcome. That’s just the way building a future state works.”   Dr. Meghan Walker   “The more we say “I'm not like them”, without actually understanding what they are like, we encase ourselves in the energy of the work, win windfall vibration, and it is a vibration and it’s a very disempowering vibration frankly, because you have no control of your financial destiny.”    Dr. Meghan Walker   “If you don't believe your actions are actually going to warrant any kind of outcome for you, you're not gonna take them in the first place. And so we have to shift that belief system and to shift that belief system, what we really need to do is we have to lift the veil on the story.” Dr. Meghan Walker “The core thinking trap that defines that “win work windfall” level is that money comes from other sources, money comes from work, money comes because I want it in a lottery or money comes because I inherited it. And if those things don't happen for you, it's like you just can't see that there are any other ways that money may come into your life.” Dr. Meghan Walker “I can't wait to help you change more lives, have more impact, and put more money in your pocket along the way.” Dr. Meghan Walker This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by The DNA Company.  Discover how The DNA Company's genomic insights can help your patients improve their health outcomes.

Get ready for a game changing episode of IMPACT! You’ve certainly never heard an episode like this before.  This is for two reasons.  One, because host Dr. Meghan Walker drops powerful truths about entrepreneurship and reflects on her own experience with burnout at the end of 2022. Meghan loves her work and this feeling of burn out was not a result of work overload. It was actually the result of client relations that had failed to honor their sacred contract. After some self reflection, Meghan realized she was stuck in self created resentment because she failed to set and uphold her own boundaries. She was taking ownership of others' emotional issues which prevented them from following through on their agreed upon financial responsibilities. By allowing others to negate their own commitments, she denied them and herself the opportunity to grow.  A much needed break over Christmas and the New Year resulted in the perfect time to recognize that leading to the next level meant setting clear boundaries and by holding people accountable to their commitments she was elevating how they operate in the world of business.  And two, because Meghan sets the stage for the trajectory of the podcast in 2023. And it’s massive. It’s exciting. And it is definitely going to lead to major IMPACT.  Meghan has committed to focusing on the concept of a "worth ethic" - the activities, commitments, and decisions that elevate our value as leaders and help us avoid burnout. That expands our capacity for contribution, for vision and where we can go next. And so this year, the content of the IMPACT podcast is going to focus exactly on this!  Meghan will pursue ideas that take us to the fringe, explore concepts that might make you feel uncomfortable and discuss topics that in an instant are going to shed from you, the stories and the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back. Follow along with the IMPACT podcast and you can expect to master your worth ethic and thrive as a leader in 2023!   KEY TAKEAWAYS [2:30] For the first time Meghan experienced burnout. She had nothing left in her and felt unmotivated  [4:30] Gaining perspective on the things that were holding her back [5:50] Gaining clarity on the things driving her burnout [7:20] How resentment was the culmination of poor boundaries  [8:30] Meghan’s resentment  [9:25] Taking ownership and letting clients off the hook for their emotional state [10:50] Manipulative conversations that left her feeling responsible for clients negligence [11:50] Realizing it was her duty to set and hold boundaries  [12:40] The sacred contract and enforcing compassionate boundaries  [13:45] Holding people accountable to their commitments elevates how they operate in business  [17:20] Committing to worth ethic: the decisions that expand our capacity as a leader  [18:20] Redefining your worth ethic in 2023    HOW TO CONNECT WITH DR. MEGHAN WALKER https://www.instagram.com/drmeghanwalker/ https://meghanwalker.com/ https://www.facebook.com/drmeghanwalker https://linktr.ee/drmeghanwalker https://www.impactmedicinebook.com   MEMORABLE QUOTES “Resentment, for me, was always accompanied by having poor boundaries in a particular area. When I become resentful of someone or a situation it is usually because I was not clear in articulating or because I didn't know what my boundaries were at any given moment.” Dr. Meghan Walker “I was witnessing, in real time, how I was enabling other people to sabotage their own commitments, with respect  to money, and I too was acting out a pattern that I had become familiar with in my own life.”  Dr. Meghan Walker “I was just sort of in denial. I was in denial of acknowledging it. I was in denial of how I was gonna have to address it. And then even as I turned on my mic to record this, I was in denial of having to admit it to my listeners.” Dr. Meghan Walker “I am an empathetic person and I am an empathetic person with boundaries in progress.And one of the things I realized I was consistently doing is I was taking ownership for what was happening in their emotional state and the way I was taking ownership of it, which is really none of my business to do, and not part of what my sacred contract with these clients is all about. I was letting people off the hook for having to pay and follow up.” Dr. Meghan Walker “It also enabled me to get really clear on this idea of a sacred contract. This idea that when you engage in business with someone or you make a commitment to someone, that you give them your word. And when you give someone your word more than checking that box in the terms of conditions or any other pieces, this is a reflection of your integrity and your brand.” Dr. Meghan Walker     This episode of IMPACT was brought to you by The DNA Company.
