How can you land these opportunities? And what's the story behind those job titles, anyway?Throughout this series, I'll be sitting down with women from various stages of their professional journeys. Some have flourished in their roles for years, others are embarking on new industry ventures, a few are on the hunt for their dream jobs, and then there are those who proudly run their own businesses. Yet, there's a common thread among them all - these Working Girls Don't Gatekeep!

Since she went through a rough health journey herself, she can relate to women on a much deeper level.   Today we talk about how she got this career and also what she can offer to her clients.   Kylie coverers great topics that we can all walk away with to improve our health.   Reach out to Kylie using the link below:   https://pwhrfl.com/about-coach-kylie/  Tue, 13 Aug 2024 10:00:00 +0000 https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/04c2caec-7d17-4c40-9d03-a1bb51b7bcf0/aa5b33fc-0ffc-426d-968f-4014a51a8713/screen-shot-2024-08-13-at-9-48-05-am.jpg https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/04c2caec-7d17-4c40-9d03-a1bb51b7bcf0/c0bb064f-40a9-4d28-b298-f2def9997e76/screen-shot-2024-07-30-at-9-39-11-am.jpg Shannon Evans is a licensed Acupuncturist and owner of Sundays Acupuncture in Kirkland, Washington.   I connected with her initially on TikTok because she shares so much valuable content on her TikTok page regarding holistic health tips.   Personally, I love acupuncture  to help with acute issues and with understanding more about the connection throughout our entire body. Each system and each part of our body is connected together and acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is something I love learning about because it almost helps give me a definition of what is connected to the ailment I am experiencing.   I love this quote defining Acupuncture: "Acupuncture helps nudge your body and mind over time to calm the overactive sympathetic nervous system—promoting the body’s innate healing." Today we talk about fasting for women and cold plunging, the vibration and energy of food, how to cycle synch. Other topics: Fevers Birth Control Masculine vs Feminine Wor...

I have deliberately found ways to be healthy using a more Eastern Medicine approach vs. an Allopathic Medicine approach and it has worked very well for me. That does not mean I don't respect  Western Medicine methods, I just think there are more holistic routes available.   Dr. Cassie Wilder offers Naturopathic Medicine at her clinic in the Western Twin Cities area of MN. She focuses on finding the ROOT CAUSE instead of just putting a band-aid on one issue.   I loved this discussion because she shares what her clinic offers, how she chose this route of medicine, and why this can be a great career for ...

Products range from posters to put on the wall, apparel, and stationary.   I've always been intimidated to purchase art for my house because what if I don't like it in 3 months and it's so expensive?   Then I end up with nothing on my walls for the entirety of a lease!   That's where GS Print Shoppe comes in. Her prints are affordable and easy to access, allowing for you to switch out prints as the seasons change, or add on more to make a full gallery wall!   If you have a bachelorette party coming up soon, GS Print Shoppe can provide the graphic design for a custom theme!   I loved talking to Gigi because she shared with us her purpose behind her passion - she has suffered from endometriosis which she wants to eventually have all portions of the proceeds go to endometriosis foundations. ...
