134 - The Hero's Journey of a Healthpreneur with Danielle Brooks

Welcome back to another awesome episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we’re going to dive behind the scenes of an extremely accomplished Healthpreneur’s journey. Danielle Brooks, author of, "Good Decisions” is a nutritional therapist, a clinical herbalist, and the founder of a successful wellness clinic called Lake Washington Wellness. 

Danielle spent the beginning of her schooling and professional career being told that she couldn’t do things, which propelled her to push for her dreams despite uncertainty, fear, and a pesky ego (who can relate?). She learned that by leaning on trusted relationships and hiring the right people, she could reach heights she never thought possible – and enjoy the process.

As entrepreneurs, we’ve all been there; we’ve been told “no,” we’ve been discouraged, and we’ve had moments where shit hit the fan. But what matters is how we choose to grow from those experiences. Tune in as Danielle and I reflect on how self-doubt inhibited her growth, how she moved past it to get what she truly wanted, and why she she’s so excited about helping people find peace with food and their bodies. 

In this episode, Danielle and I discuss:

Her mother’s parting words and how they impacted her. Ignoring when others say you can’t do something. What you need to start a business. Swapping out fear for excitement. Hiring good people and hiring out your weaknesses.
