How does a nurse who is frustrated with the medical system transform her health, evolve her career, and become an entrepreneur?    Anne has been a nurse for 45 years and found herself un-well. She was in the medical model and the solutions offered to her were medication and approaches which weren’t getting her the results she wanted.    She started noticing positive shifts with nutrition changes… and wanted to understand more. She found the community of Univera and joined the health professional’s calls where she learned a lot. But when she brought the protocols to the attention of her medical colleagues she was shot down:  “it’s not evidence-based.”    Thankfully, Anne knew what she had found and her response was, "Your lack of awareness is not a lack of evidence.”    Becoming an entrepreneur/business person in the network marketing model was NOT part of Anne’s plan: “I’m a nurse, I take care of people, I don’t do business” - until she realized that she was ‘doing business’ every day in the hospital.    She opened her own business (LLC), went back to school and got certified in nutrition.    Anne believes we’ve forgotten the basics of health: we’re made of cells. What makes the cell well? Simply giving it what it needs.    Anne and Aimee are part of an underground movement to transform how we  do health care and we need a huge team of us to make it happen.    "If we collaborated, we would be a powerful force”   Anne also mentions highlights from the service trip we both went on to Campeche Mexico recently.    You can follow Anne on her facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ProactiveHealthWithAnne/   Get access to the free 10 day bootcamp on Attraction Marketing at: www.aimeeburton.com/podcast 

Do you consider yourself a creative person? (We all are, but some of us are more compelled to express our art than others). Are you struggling to make a living with your art?  Does life feel like a constant hustle to pay the bills? This episode is for you. I tracked Sara Spicer down in Berlin, Germany for this chat. She is currently on a three month trip with her husband traveling through Europe. Sara is a DJ and built a music promotions business in her 20s with her husband and essentially threw parties for a living. She loves creating and curating musical talent and still runs one of the stages at one of the largest music festivals in North America.  But of course this lifestyle took a toll on Sara’s health. She certainly wasn’t looking to get into network marketing, but she was struggling and needed a solution. Listen in to hear how Sara ended up creating wellness, time freedom and balance in her life, and how her mission has become to help artists live and breathe their art on the planet.  You can follow Sara on Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud

These might be thoughts going through your head...  Tune in to hear what I would focus on if I was starting today...Some of the suggestions I make in this episode are specific to network marketing and some are pretty universal to starting a new biz...    www.aimeeburton.com  @befreepodcast

Have you ever found yourself in a job that feels soul-sucking? Do you have a dream or a vision that has been following you around, yet to be manifested?  Are you interested in building your business intuitively, rather than purely from a place of logic and strategy?  Then you are going to LOVE this episode!   My guest, Angelyn Toth, is one of my business mentors, the Founder of Xenia Creative Development Centre on Bowen Island, and one of the top leaders in our company. She has received numerous leadership awards in Univera including the Associate of the Year and the YunHo Lee Servant Leadership award.    Angelyn spent years in the corporate world, but knew it wasn’t her calling. She was mentored through her own journey of personal development and eventually became “unemployable.” She had a vision (for her retreat centre) that followed her around for about ten years before it manifested into reality.    Ten years into her retreat centre, things were not going very well... in her words, “she wasn’t a very good business woman.” After a complete spiritual surrender, Univera came into her life. She wasn’t looking for anything else and she was NOT interested in network marketing.    Listen in to hear about the pivotal moment when her soul was activated and she felt a resonance to build a business with Univera.    You’ll also learn:  How her objections to the business model were overcome How she built her business quickly  The two personal growth tools that have helped her the most The most important thing to handle and overcome to create success How she feels about ‘hustling’ in her business, and what she does instead   I know you’re going to love this conversation, like I did.  You can find Angelyn’s work at www.angelyntoth.com As usual, you can find me over at  www.aimeeburton.com & @befreepodcast on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/befreepodcast/
