Send us Fan Mail We did a lot last year. And you probably did too, but don't realize it.  Michael and I talk about the large, difficult, and risky decisions we made last year in order to serve you all in the best way possible. Happy New Year to you all and we are excited to see what 2024 brings! If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca...

Send us Fan Mail Being a self-employed physician, trying to be both a doctor and an entrepreneur, requires us to dig deep. And dig to places of ourselves that we don’t even know are there.  And this is where most people stop. Because it feels SO hard.  You wonder how people do this? How do they manage a life, a family, a business all at the same time?  How do people put themselves out there and ri...

Send us Fan Mail It’s the end of the year and around this time I like to reflect back to all that I have accomplished not only in the past year, but also the past several years and my whole Chinese medicine career.  As part of that I look at some of the things that I have done and get curious about how some of those things could have been done differently. Whether they were successes or not, I lik...

Send us Fan Mail Do you feel like you have created a job for yourself? Are you feeling like your business is your "boss" that is running your life? You're not alone.  Most of us have been trained from an early age to be employees that trade time for money and to execute effort for other people. So we naturally end up creating that same model even in the businesses that we own. And m...

Send us Fan Mail Do you operate from the belief that the meaning of being a doctor is to fix people?  Do you feel personally responsible when a patient doesn't respond to treatment? You got into this profession to help people. So when a patient doesn't get better it's easy to feel disappointed, discouraged, or to be hard on yourself.  If this sounds familiar, then tune into this epi...

Send us Fan Mail No matter what culture you come from or grew up with, failure is associated with something negative. But what if it didn't need to mean that? What if we reframe failure as a way to grow and prosper? If fear of failure has been holding you back then this episode is for you! If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, plea...

Send us Fan Mail I did a live coaching call a while ago with someone who was struggling with the fact that her family did not support her decision to become a Chinese medicine practitioner.  Perhaps some of you listening have experienced the same or something similar, and it really gets to you. If you are someone who isn't receiving the support you need from your friends and family then this...

Send us Fan Mail It’s highly likely that you are engaging in some buffering behaviors that are holding you back from taking yourself to the next level in your business.  In this episode, I explain what buffering is and how it may be sabotaging your business growth.  If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit: tcm-hub.com/fed and...

Send us Fan Mail We’re all aware on some level of the importance of tone when communicating and the results that can create. But most of us don’t give much thought to the words that we choose to use and how it affects ourselves when we say them. And that’s what most of today’s episode is about.  Using dramatic language, even if it's couched in humor or seemingly innocuous, can effect us more...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes in life we hit a crossroads and have to choose right or left. Other times we are completely lost and don't know up from down. These are moments for some of the most profound change to occur if we have the courage to ask the right questions. This is my (Michael) story of how saying a very simple prayer to the universe changed everything for me. If you are struggling...

Send us Fan Mail Your actions are driven by your emotions. So if the emotional fuel you are using to work and build your practice is fear, inadequacy, frustration, greed, or scarcity then you’re going to deplete and burn yourself out. A simple tweak may be the key helping you move forward in your business and your life without having to beat yourself up to get there.  If this content and material...

Send us Fan Mail We usually don’t equate our businesses with being in a relationship.

Send us Fan Mail We are all programmed to have certain beliefs and certain rules to live by. Because these are often old beliefs, they are deeply ingrained neural pathways. So it's hard to shake them.  What if trying to shake them off is actually preventing you from growing and moving forward?  Instead of trying to eliminate them try doing this instead.  If this content and material resonates...

Send us Fan Mail The brain likes to create and hold on to worst case scenarios.  Worst case scenarios & drama are like a dopamine hit. But when we stay in this drama state it prevents us from being able to access our ability to adapt to challenges.  Listen to how hear how I was able to access my adaptability during a recent challenging situation. If this content and material resonates with you...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most powerful lessons I have learned through both counseling and coaching is understanding the difference between my circumstances and my thoughts.  This differentiation has helped me reduce a huge amount of stress in my life, my work, and my relationships and is a foundational concept that I use with my coaching clients.  Some of the things I’m going to talk about in t...

Send us Fan Mail 22 episodes in and I realized that I've never introduced myself! So I'm sharing my story of the many lives that I have lived.  This gets pretty personal.  Once you're in a familiar situation, your brain will resist changing it. There were so many times in my life I could have chosen the “safer” option, but I intentionally chose to increase my experiences and shift m...

Send us Fan Mail I see people waiting for the right moment, the right time, the right amount of money, the right level of support, the right training, etc. before they can move forward and succeed.  Or they will say that because they lack all of those things as reasons to why they can’t succeed.  You can have the right circumstances, be genetically gifted, be on the top of your sport, have multipl...

Send us Fan Mail People talk a lot about the importance of scaling your business. Before taking actions to scale your business, you must scale YOU first or else you're in for a bumpy ride.  In this episode we talk about Victim Mentality, Worker Mentality, and Winner Mentality. Which one are you?  If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecc...

Send us Fan Mail Something that comes up quite a bit with my coaching clients and causes a lot of stress for them is their thoughts about what should and shouldn’t be. “I SHOULD be seeing this many patients per week.” “I SHOULD be making this kind of income.” “I SHOULD work this many days.” “I SHOULDN’T be so tired.” “This SHOULDN’T be so hard.” If this sounds like you give this episode a listen a...

Send us Fan Mail I want to talk about being busy and busying.  I used to complain about being sooo busy. I had charts to catch up on, bookkeeping, insurance billing, emails, call backs, new software to learn… it was like my life was a never-ending to-do list.  The life of a solo Chinese medicine doc, right? So much to do and that didn’t even include treating patients!  I look back at that time and...

Send us Fan Mail We all have had patients that aren’t very good at committing to their treatment regimens.  They look to you to stay on top of them and hold them accountable. And many of you comply thinking that you are doing what’s in the best interest of the patient.  Some of you may think that when a patient isn’t complying it’s because you’re doing something wrong. - well that depends.  One of...

Send us Fan Mail We may piss a few of you off with this one. But if you're not willing to consider the fact that you have been doing something wrong you're never going to be open to the idea of doing things better.    We are taught from the get go that treating a patient 1X/week with acupuncture is standard and usual treatment. Except that it's not and it never has been. Join us for...

Send us Fan Mail I think today’s episode is going to resonate with many of you listening. Because today we are going to talk about people pleasing and people pleasers.  As a recovering people pleaser I’m right along here with you.  So what is a people pleaser? A people pleaser is someone who feels an urge or a need to please others. They don’t like rocking the boat, so to speak. Often times the pe...
