p.27 I Quarterly Corner- A Recap of our Fall Quarterly & 2023 information.

I’ve often prayed to God to help me dismiss painful memories, to erase them from my hard drive. Not so much those troubled memories that were simply a part of living, but more so the memories in which I created the pain. I have no idea what triggers these memories, but without fail they consistently create a feeling of emptiness or disconnection from what we would call joy. Perhaps it’s shame, which happens to be the lowest in vibration and the furthest away from love.

As I’ve grown and matured in love, I’ve noticed that these memories are less frequent and tend to impact my emotions only for a moment before I dismiss them and forgive myself for them. I do believe God chose not to extinguish them until I fully learned this lesson of forgiveness.

We all make mistakes in life, especially when we are young and immature. Often our actions, or lack thereof, hurt others and ultimately ourselves. Although it is rare that our intention is to hurt, this certainly happens with immaturity. In time, it becomes irrelevant as to the why the result of our hurt is hurt. I eventually came to the point of recognizing I am a man incapable of living a perfect life. Who am I to think I am without fault, and therefore make no mistakes and create no harm? It’s a humbling journey and one of surrender.

Surrendering and enjoying the love that embodies it comes with a price. To fully let go means to let go of you, your ego-self. That’s the one who is always trying to call the shots, who dominates your thoughts and constantly reminds you that life is painful. This is the voice of fear that readily pulls you off course, away from your dreams and into the abyss of anxiety.

On occasion, following a highly emotional conference or after listening to a motivating speaker via podcast, we dismiss this ego and pledge to reclaim our life. “Yes, this time it’s different. This time I’m moving into my promised land with courage, ready to face the giants.”

Then the giants come out to play. Unfortunately, the ego has survived and quickly takes back control over your temporary status as the courageous general and barks out orders to put you back in your place of submission.

What happened?

You never surrendered. You never died to yourself; to that crafty ego-self that thrives on pain and misery. Is it so hard to choose a life lived through faith over a life governed by fear? Have we been programmed to believe that the known is somehow better than the unknown? Have we grown accustomed to continuing this belief cycle by accepting or passing along the message “don’t take risks” or “be careful out there” or “don’t be a rebel”?

Fear bombards our senses.

As a self-proclaimed rebel, I learned at a very young age to question authority and the general narrative of “safety” over living. I’m not a red bull extremist, nor do I take senseless, uncalculated risks. But I choose to live a full life, which comes with accepting some risk, rather than simply existing and feeling “safe.”

Life is not safe, and the more we try to make it safe the more likely we are to get hurt. It’s much like the child unwilling to get the bicycle moving too briskly in fear of falling, only to get hurt twice over. Once by the tumble and once by having failed to challenge himself.

Life is very short. And it is very much worth living. Finding justification to keep things safe is simply an illusion to avoid facing our fear.

When those painful memories come, don’t be so quick to punish yourself. Forgive yourself of your past mistakes, die to your ego and surrender to a life fully lived. Without taking risks we cannot reach our potential and therefore cannot help others reach theirs. Gather your courage, go slay the giants, and let go of your fears.

of The Powerful In�uence

“People get caught up in ‘I should be healthy; I should be happy,’ but things just don’t work that way. We have to be intentional and make a commitment to do the work; and that takes courage and bravery.”

At a very young age, Leann Moore, Health Coach and Wellness Coordinator at Entelechy Life, realized that she had an overwhelming passion of empowering people to make positive, life altering changes. Then as a long-time health professional and educator, she learned that physical and mental health go hand-in-hand; and deciding to change for the better takes guts.

“It’s much easier to just drift along because it doesn’t require any effort and you don’t have to address any demons in your closet. Having a healthy mindset is part of the journey and it doesn’t happen naturally. To admit that things aren’t working is a big courageous step. So, I always try to be honest with people that they are going to have to do some work.”

Before joining Entelechy Life, Leann spent years navigating through the red tape associated with working in a corporate hospital environment; and in 2021 she made the tough decision to walk away. While looking for something new, she was met with plenty of opportunities that were a match for her skill set; but she held out for a place that would also align with her values. Just as she began to feel defeated in her search, she stumbled across the position that led her to Dr. Jen Mead.

“It was like divine intervention. When I called, I could sense that Dr. Jen lived by her values and truly cared about people. And during the interview she said she wanted to build a community and that really struck my heart. I think authentic communities are undervalued in the world of healthcare; and a key factor to being successful is having a community that’s got your back.”

Leann inherited the entire FPC community when she teamed up with Dr. Jen and that made the transition from a corporate world to a two-woman operation much smoother. Being new to an environment where she could actually see the results of her contribution took some adapting to, but Leann says that being a part of the practice is like a “little slice of heaven.”

Strong Communities

“I get to see the results of my work in a much bigger way and be really entrenched in the process and the journey of everything. It's much more fulfilling to me because I know the work that I'm doing is making an impact and it’s keeping our doors open. My work is appreciated, and I always have to be on my ‘A game.’ That’s why I’m so grateful for the FPC coaching and workshops.”

The weekly FPC workshops are blocked on Leann’s calendar, and she believes they make her job much easier. She shows up, she listens, and she takes what she learns and implements it into her practice. By attending, she gains both the support and knowledge she needs to be successful.

“It could take me an entire year to learn all the information I get in a one-hour time slot. I don't have to recreate the wheel or anything. I just listen intently and just repeat it; and it gives me the opportunity to hear what other practices are doing too. I pick up a ton of gold nuggets. I’ve never felt this supported in my work!”

Support, along with love and encouragement, are potent within strong communities; and when Leann was immersed in all of it during her first quarterly event, she told herself to “soak it in.” She believes it’s the little things in life that make a big difference and she and Dr. Jen both keep things small and simple by genuinely expressing their gratitude and appreciation with one another.

“A smile, a hug, a high five, words of encouragementthey’re the basics of what humans need and that’s how we try to live each day around here. There are many basic things that are getting left behind in our fast-paced lives, and I see so many people hurting mentally and physically. I want to be present for each person that comes in. I want people to know that they're loved and they're of value. People need to know someone cares.”

Extending the Journey : From Freedom to Legacy

The FPC Mastermind is an experience unlike any other in the health business field. It is a place of discovery where “Think Tank” meets “Executive Coaching” meets “Luxury Business Retreats.” By combining next level business development and best-in-class health entrepreneurs, explosive growth is the outcome. The Mastermind creates a proven track record for scaling businesses while maintaining a vibrant life and a passion for the greater good.

At the start of 2021, FPC’s John Linton, CEO, and Seth Conger, COO, put a vision in motion to develop a Mastermind they would want to participate in, evolving the group from a round table of top clients to an entity of its own with its own vision and purpose. The evolved Mastermind launched in January 2023 with 16 hand-picked members, chosen for their fundamental business mastery, scaling potential, and dedication to a greater mission of changing healthcare.

“We evolved the Mastermind in the same way we would guide any client to add another unit to their foundational business. We set the vision, created quarterly goals, did significant research, tested concepts, and asked for feedback. We pivoted where necessary and at the end of two years we have something we are really proud of. This is truly the Mastermind I would want to participate in.” -

Seth Conger

I am excited to have joined the Freedom Practice Coaching team as the Director of the Mastermind. I am an integrative pharmacist who specializes in compounding and functional medicine and have over a decade of experience as a Master Business Executive Coach. My zone of excellence is creating clarity and driving decisions. John Linton and Seth Conger remain involved with the Mastermind as faculty members, and we are looking forward to a rewarding year.

The Mastermind 2023 focus areas:

Leadership – The scaling leader is different from the startup leader. Therefore, we’ve created a new curriculum based off classic works and shaped it for the 7-figure health business owner to stay ahead of the curve.

Scalability – A focus on business systems, operations, an empowered team, and advanced measurement to ensure the business can scale and maintain profitability without the direct input of the owner.

Mini-Mastermind – To 10X momentum, the key team member for each business (director of operations, clinical director, etc.) will be invited to join their peers as business “intrapreneur’s.” They will be supported and empowered by the group to drive towards business objectives and overall goals.

Retreats to Remember – They are a space to explore and discover, where a change of pace, and a change of place leads to a change in perspective. This year’s winter destination is a private beach front home in Riviera Maya, Mexico, and this summer we’ll be traveling across the pond to a Castle on the coast of Spain.

Quarterly Events – Designed to complete focused “playbooks” for Mastermind members and the key team leaders. Walking away on Sunday to implement on Monday.

Going forward, each Hope for Health issue will include a piece on the Mastermind, the members, and our collective mission. If you are interested in joining this elite group when you graduate, please contact me: sheila@freedompracticecoaching.com.

“Relationships are like a garden. They take time, energy, and cultivation for them to stay fruitful.”

Dr. Melanie Dorion & RENEWING hope DEFENDING dreams

Pro athlete at 18 and ranked 14th in the world in cycling by the age of 20, Melanie Dorion, Practice Owner at Be Vital Health Center, was on her way to becoming what many children only dream of – an Olympian. Then two days before competing in the qualifying event that would serve as her ticket into the 2000 Olympic Games, Melanie had a life altering set back. She suffered a concussion after a fluke crash during training.

“I blacked out for a few seconds after hitting my head directly on a rock. So, I rested for the next two days, then competed with a headache, fatigue, and a hematoma that covered half of my right thigh. The race went beyond poorly, and I began a downward health spiral that seemed unstoppable.”

Broken hearted, Melanie retired from professional cycling and struggled with extreme fatigue, insomnia, and frequent illnesses for years. After the birth of her son, her symptoms grew worse, and she once again sought medical advice and once again received zero explanations from doctors.

“On paper I was healthy. My labs were normal, and no one could figure out what was wrong. I finally took matters into my own hands and decided to go to Naturopathic Medical School determined to resolve my health issues. I figured out I had Epstein Barr (EBV), Lyme disease, and mold illness and instantly became committed to healing not only myself but spreading the word to others about what I was learning. It wasn’t simply about healing; it was also about finding thriving health.”

Melanie hit the ground running after graduation and started practicing immediately. For the next five years she gained experience, refined her model, and shared an office space with colleagues. And when she found her “dream office,” she went for it; even though it meant investing her entire savings. Then, less than two months later – it was completely gone; and what followed was nearly two years of “pure hell.”

“It was so bad. I remember being on my kitchen floor crying because I was going to lose everything. Covid hit a month and a half after I opened my beautiful space, and I knew my family was in trouble. My life went to hell, and it brought me to my knees. That’s when FPC came to mind.”

Just before the covid surge, Melanie had gone to dinner with some of the FPC team after meeting them at a conference. When crisis struck, she put joining the community on hold but says that when she hit “rock bottom,” she reached out and said, “we need to chat.”

“I was going to have to abandon my dream if I didn’t get some help. I want to change the course of healthcare for chronic diseases. Boom - that’s my goal. And FPC promised to be fierce defenders of it. They promised support and guidance and I was terrified but took a leap of faith; and now it’s like I have hundreds of people I can turn to and ask for help. It’s so inspiring.”

Melanie ended up getting more guidance than she knew she needed during an FPC Two Day Launch event in San Antonio. As a new client, she had become overwhelmed with the content; and trying to prioritize among constant transitions while successfully leading her team became daunting.

“That intensive weekend was the best thing you guys could have done for me. I realized I was being overly sensitive to my teams need for slow change and had not fully stepped into that leadership role. I had a scarcity mindset- about getting employees, and about offering $8,000 programs. That weekend was such a great exercise on balance and leadership. I had one of those ‘come to Jesus’ moments and went home pumped.”

Reigniting peoples hopes and dreams and seeing them pay it forward is what fuels Melanie’s motivation. She hopes to have a massive impact on how chronic diseases are viewed and managed and believes that everyone has a right to live a thriving life in optimal health.

“FPC has given me hope that my dream life is attainable and I'm turning around and doing that for every single one of our members. I tell people to be clear on what they want their life to look like because they’re allowed to have it; and my team and I will fiercely defend their dream. FPC has done that for me. What I put on my vision board is what God put in my heart. It's big and I can't do it alone.”

RESOLUTIONS

I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. They often don’t survive into February, and they rarely result in lasting change. They are often born from the guilt of falling short of our potential the previous year, or regret from not accomplishing previously set goals.

As we count down to the New Year - in quiet reflection, we may realize that we lived most of the last year on autopilot, allowing our instincts and appetites to dictate many of our actions. We recognize that we lacked discipline. We regret being lazy, sleeping in, skipping the gym, eating junk food, and losing patience with loved ones. And during that quiet moment before the ball drops, we promise that THIS year will be different. Unfortunately, our tendency is to lose the same 10 pounds that we gain back months later, purchase the gym membership that will go unused, or make a single entry in the same journal that only has a few pages filled in after 10 years.

We love making resolutions but struggle to keep them. How do we break this cycle and stop making faulty resolutions in exchange for lifechanging results?

Set Resolutions for The Right Reasons

If you conduct PMEs in your practice, this should resonate with you. When we interview a potential practice member, we dig much deeper than what their initial concerns or symptoms are. We explore how their concerns are impacting their quality of life, and more importantly, how that makes them feel about themselves.

The deepest reason to be motivated for change is a recognition that you don’t like the way you feel in your current situation. Then, we can then set a new goal for ourselves and attach a new emotion to that destination. Ultimately, the reason to set a resolution is to achieve a new emotional state.

Don’t Wait for The Outcome. Enjoy The Feeling of Living Your Resolutions Now

You don’t have to finish a marathon to feel the accomplishment and satisfaction of being a long-distance runner. The moment you make the decision to run a marathon, and you begin training, you ARE a long-distance runner. You’re not a runner because of the race. You’re a runner because you wake up early, lace up your shoes, train, stretch, eat well, and live with discipline.

The beautiful thing about understanding that the emotion is the real goal is that we no longer have to hope to one day achieve it. We get to live in that future now. The key, of course, is that we only get to enjoy the feeling as long as we consistently live the lifestyle.

DONE RIGHT

Turn Routine into Ritual

Let’s be honest, your new routine will be disrupted- life happens. This is where I see most resolutions fail. We start the year off great. We’re excited, we set the goals, clean out the pantry, get new running shoes, buy a new journal, set our alarms, and wake up early. But inevitably, as other priorities creep in, we fall back into old habits. The pantry becomes full of junk food again, the running shoes are thrown in the back of the closet, the journal is buried in our nightstand, and we’re hitting the snooze button every morning. To maintain our resolutions, we have to find ways to adapt them to disruption so that no matter what life throws at us, we are still able to satisfy the intention behind the routine. I call this “turning routine into ritual.”

(continued on the following page)

“

To maintain our resolutions, we have to find ways to adapt them to disruption.

For example, maybe you made a resolution to study the scriptures for 30 minutes and pray on your knees by your bed every morning so that you can feel the peace and love of God with you throughout the day. If the goal is to feel God’s love for you, then work to develop multiple ways to reach the desired outcome, regardless of everything else going on around you. If something urgent comes up that prevents you from reading for 30 minutes, can you read one verse and reflect for 30 seconds and still feel God’s love? If you don’t have time to drop to your knees and pray by your bedside, can you turn off the radio during your drive to work and offer a thoughtful prayer and still feel God listening? When we achieve the outcome under diverse circumstances, this means we are turning the routine into a ritual. We are able to maintain the emotional state of WHY we practice the routine.

I have worked to develop flexible routines for every resolution I’ve made so that no matter what is going on in life, I can maintain the ritual, or the WHY behind the activity. Can’t go to the gym for a full hour? No problem, I’ve got a body weight routine that requires no equipment and only takes 20 minutes. Don’t have 20 minutes for that? No problem, I can do pushups for 2 minutes. But this point is critical; for those two minutes, I am 100% focused on my physical strength and performance. This is the ritual. By doing this, I get to enjoy the emotional reward of my resolutions every day, no matter what.

Only Make Promises That You Will Keep

Remember I mentioned that resolutions are often born from guilt and regret? Giving up on our resolutions only reinforces those negative feelings. When we look in the mirror with the guilt of unfulfilled resolutions and broken promises, we tell ourselves stories about why we deserve to be miserable. Many of us struggle with self-worth, self-love, self-confidence, and self-esteem. I believe one of the fastest ways to improve in these areas is to keep the promises we make to ourselves. This means that we need to stop the cycle of making resolutions that we give up on. Start this year by only making promises that you know you will keep.

Don’t overcommit. This leads to overwhelm and frustration. I’m not suggesting we set the bar too low. We should push ourselves to be our best; but if you’ve struggled here in the past, then start by making small but significant promises and then create flexible routines so that you can always satisfy the ritual.

Instead of starting your journaling with a promise of writing for 30 minutes every day, make a promise to write 3 words. As we keep the promises we make to ourselves we will not only reap the benefits of personal development and growth, we will also feel the peace and joy that comes from living with integrity.

Keep Yourself Accountable by Joining a Community

I’m sure we’ve all noticed that when we are struggling, we tend to retreat into ourselves and isolate from others. Perhaps we are embarrassed or ashamed. We think no one else struggles the same way we do and that we should be able to overcome this on our own. Yet this is when we need support more than ever.

The FPC community of coaches and colleagues has been the single most positive influence in my life, and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of such a great company and culture. I hope that you will work to foster relationships within our community. The world will constantly bombard us with negativity. Let FPC be a refreshing source of support and encouragement. We all need it. In fact, our Personal Development workshop, held every Monday at 11am CST, is our most attended webinar each week. If you haven’t already been joining us, I encourage you to do so. Start the week off with the right focus. I promise it will make a difference.

It is my hope that this will be the last year we set weak resolutions. Instead, let’s just make one meaningful promise to ourselves, and then keep it. Every day. No matter what. As we do so, we will grow into the best version of ourselves, allowing us to help others do the same.

May God bless you all as we head into another great year together.

make life Small moments

I don’t see my extended family much. We typically only get together when someone is either in the hospital or getting married, and weddings are a lot more fun than hospital rooms. My cousin Ashley got married last October, so I traveled back to Michigan and was able to see everyone again.

I have trouble relating to most of my extended family, but I really love the conversations I have with my uncle. He sat with me for a while after the ceremony. He asked if my dad teaches us to remember the moments and told me he teaches his kids to always pay attention to the “small hours.” He had just walked his daughter down the aisle- a big moment; and had tears in his eyes as he talked about all the little moments that he cherished the most with her. Their “small hours.” The next day I thanked my uncle for our “small hour”, and I am very grateful that I have always been in touch with these moments in life. Maybe I got this from him.

When I think back on my time with my wellness practice, it’s full of “small hours.” I remember staying at the office until midnight printing binders for my first group orientation. There were papers everywhere and I felt like the binder making process would never end. I was equally excited and stressed. Then once I had a team, this became one of those “remember that time we had to trek three miles in the snow” type of story.

I remember the first time we collected 27K in one day by selling five programs. And I remember our first 100K month and our first 100K week. The most precious moments are the “small hours” that don’t mean anything to anyone else.

John Bundy, one of our practice members, wrote us a testimonial about being able to put on his wedding band after losing 60 pounds. I remember crying reading his letter.

I had a team member, Erika, and one of my proudest moments was watching her teach her first orientation class. Then later that year I helped her shop for her wedding dress.

On a plane ride down to San Antonio for a Quarterly, my business partner and I looked at each other and said, “this is bliss.” We spent the entire plane ride talking about how blessed we were and how amazing our team was. If someone was listening to us, they would have thought we were crazy.

These are the moments.

As we go into a new year, choose to pay attention to these moments. Freedom comes from being present. Presence gives you the “small hours.”

Henry David Thoreau said, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Find beauty in the “small hours” and realize how blessed you are to live this life. The path you have chosen is perfectly beautiful and perfectly yours. I am grateful that our paths have crossed and am looking forward to the “small hours” ahead.

Fall in Love With the Process Not the Result

Recently, I was listening to professional bodybuilder, Phil Heath, on a podcast tell a story about how he had the opportunity to meet and speak with a big-time coach at his gym. He said the coach had worked with thousands of athletes over his career; including some who were nationally ranked, and others who were Olympians. Phil talked about the conversation he had with him, and how it dove into the process of improvement.

Phil wanted to know what the difference was between the best athletes and everyone else. “What do really successful athletes do that most others don’t?”

He said the coach mentioned some factors you might expect like genetics, luck, and talent; but then said something unexpected. “At some point it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day; doing the same lifts over, and over, and over.”

Phil said he was expecting an answer that referred to their passion and dedication and was intrigued by how the coach talked more about the way these highly successful athletes feel the same lack of motivation as everyone else.

According to the coach, what makes them successful is their ability to find a way to show up despite the feelings of boredom or defeat. “It’s the ability to do the work when it’s not easy that separates the top performers from everyone else.”

So, what happens when you don’t get the result you’re looking for? What happens when you become bored or tired? Are you still willing to do the work when it’s not easy?

Motivation can be fleeting. Don’t rely on it.

I get it. When it comes to my personal health and fitness goals I’m motivated at times, but most days I have so many things to do that the motivation just isn’t there. In those moments “the ability to work when it’s not easy” makes the biggest difference.

When Charlie and I were building Imagine Wellness Center there were so many challenges. We made mistakes and hit several bumps along the way, but we never stopped consistently putting in the work –even when it wasn’t easy.

We wanted to get the practice running like a fine-oiled machine. We wanted to be profitable, and more than anything, we wanted to change lives. So, whether we met our goals or fell short, we never stopped working on the fundamentals. We followed the stats, we marketed, we did the talks, and the PME’s, and followed processes. We always stayed true to putting in the daily work, regardless.

Oftentimes, we see success as an event that can be achieved and completed and think our goal is about the result.

“If I just lose 20 pounds, then I’ll be in shape.”

“If we could get our business featured in the New York Times, then we’d be set.”

“If I could just get my art displayed in a big gallery, then I’d have credibility.”

“We tend to categorize success as these single, achievable events but what we should be doing is emulating what the consistent goal hitters do.”

We tend to categorize success as these single, achievable events but what we should be doing is emulating what the consistent goal hitters do. Well known entrepreneurs, Olympians, and famous artists are more focused on their commitment to the steps and the process, not the results. They fall in love with the daily practice, not an individual event.

If you want to become a great author and write a best-seller, you will need to fall in love with the process of writing to get that result. If you want the world to know about your business and be featured in Forbes, you will need to fall in love with the process of doing marketing to get there. If you want to be in the best shape of your life and lose 20 pounds, you will have to fall in love with the process of eating healthy and exercising consistently.

Becoming significantly better at anything, will require you to focus on the steps and fall in love with a process because focusing on the process is what will render the results you want. You don’t have to love Stats or love Discovery Calls, but to reach your goals, you have got to fall in love with the daily process of the systems that are proven to work.

Fall in love with being the person who is able “to do the work when it’s not easy,” rather than the person who spends more time focusing on the results. This will help you reach your goals and have way more fun doing it!

We are at the beginning of 2023 which means that the gift giving season of ’22 just came to an end. The holidays are a joyous and special time of year filled with several traditions including the most common –the giving of gifts. What better gift could one give than freedom? Freedom of finances, freedom of time to enjoy life the way you want, and freedom from your limiting beliefs to become the person you’re meant to be.

Getting connected to FPC, and the community that came along with it, has been the greatest gift I’ve ever received. It helped me go from being a lost individual, who lacked confidence, purpose, and passion; to becoming disciplined and purpose driven.

My financial state has improved, no more ramen noodles and chicken hearts, which allowed me to move to my dream location and have some land to build a homestead for my family. I have the freedom to take vacations, or to just be able to spend quality time with my family each evening, not needing to focus on work or how I can make more money. And most importantly, it has given me the freedom of overcoming my limiting beliefs, so I can grow into the person I want to become and was meant to be. But don’t just take my word for it, hear it from some of your colleagues who are still in the trenches with you.

Last year Dr. Ola Deibel was given the gift of freedom by Dr. Jenny Mead. Here is what she had to say:

After working really hard for two years to build my own Functional Medicine Practice I was back on the hamster wheel, seeing burnout (again) in my horizon, and unable to make financial ends meet. I happened to be on the phone with my friend and colleague, Dr. Jenny Mead, in July of 2022 and opened up about some of my worries and struggles with my business.

I had just purchased an infrared sauna to assist clients in detoxing from biotoxin illness but didn’t know how I was going to pay it off. It was then that Jenny suggested I call FPC. She told me that joining FPC was the second-best decision she’s made in her life, the first of which was marrying her husband. If that wasn’t convincing enough, she shared with me her financial successes following her launch. I was impressed at how fast she was able to scale up and wondered if I too could do this.

I signed up with FPC just two weeks after our phone conversation. I decided to fully commit to the new business model because I knew I couldn’t go back to the way things were. It’s been three months since my program launch and my life has radically changed for the better.

I am seeing freedom on the horizon; I have more time to focus on my purpose and creativity with my practice which has birthed a higher level of passion. I am now experiencing financial success, security for my future, and a huge mental shift in my perspective of what I can truly accomplish in my career. It is an honor to be connected to the inspiring practitioners and the incredible FPC coaches of this organization. I am so grateful and thankful for the referral from Jenny and for Freedom Practice Coaching.

Ola’s story is far from unique. We have had countless clients share their stories on stage of going from frustrated and burned out, to thriving and FREE.

It’s unfortunate that doctors are leaving the profession at an alarming rate due to the frustrations of living the hamster wheel life of running from room to room or not being able to practice the way they want. Help a friend or colleague avoid that same fate by giving them the priceless gift of freedom.

Go to your portal, and click on the “Refer a Friend” tab. Not only will you be helping them avoid burnout and gain freedom, but by sharing the message, you too can receive a financial incentive or earn a site visit! During a visit, an FPC coach will come out to your practice, virtual or not, to help you grow and get to a whole new level of freedom!
