In this show, Jeff interviews Avery Thatcher of Inner Stillness Outer Chaos in Canada.</p>\n<p>Avery and Jeff discuss:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Avery created a business to fix the problems she saw in healthcare.</li>\n <li>She started her career as a registered nurse in the ICU where she worked for a number of year.</li>\n  <li>She noticed that the number one reason why adults were coming to the ICU was because of illnesses and diseases related to chronic stress.</li>\n  <li>To make a difference she knew that she had to get out of \"re-active healthcare\" and start helping people prevent burnout and manage their stress.</li>\n  <li>It was a unique journey getting into business coming from being a nurse because she didn't know anything about business but it was worth it.</li>\n  <li>Working full-time 12 hour shifts, Avery used her free time and commute time to write blogs and record, making her new ideas work in between her shifts.</li>\n  <li>Avery found clients by marketing on social media and by networking. Social media marketing was a challenge but Avery learned to apply a medical model for addiction to the mindset of her audience. This allowed her to share content that spoke to her audience where they are today.</li>\n  <li>Avery loves reading and learning so she did some extra reading and training to help on her journey.</li>\n  <li>The transition from working as a registered nurse to starting her business was made for her at the end of 2018 while she was working in a stressful environment. A couple days of sleep and some test revealed that she had a disability that limits her energy and ability to work in a hospital.</li>\n  <li>Having a community is a great stress reliever and healer.</li>\n  <li>Her clients are all over the world, since she's virtual. A positive from 2020/2021 everyone knows how to use zoom.</li>\n  <li>Avery has (2) main options for working with her as well as a limited amount of one-on-one sessions.&nbsp;</li>\n  <li>The new membership app has (3) phases you can subscribe to.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Fast Five Questions:</p>\n<ol>\n  <li>If you woke up and your business was gone, you have $500, a laptop, a place to live, and food, what would you do first?<em><strong> \u201cI would rent a community haul and network with other alternative therapy practitioners in my area to provide a free workshop for people. So they can learn about the stress system and how to manage it and get them on my email list.\u201d</strong></em></li>\n  <li>What is the biggest mistake that you have made in business? <em><strong>\u201cThe biggest business mistake I ever made was growing a secondary business that was not in alignment with what I wanted. Just because I was good at something doesn't mean it's what I should do.\u201d</strong></em></li>\n  <li>What is a book that you would recommend? <strong>\u201cI would recommend, \"Breaking the habit of being yourself\" by Dr Joe Dispenza.\u201d</strong></li>\n  <li>What is a tool that you use everyday that you would recommend? <strong>\u201cI use this app, it's called Habitica. It's a to-do list app where you get to create this character and you earn coins, etc. It's a fun way to get things off your to-do list.\u201d</strong></li>\n  <li>What is the best way to contact you? <em><strong>\u201cThrough my website, becomingavery.com and also on social media (LinkedIn and Instagram) @becomingavery.\u201d</strong></em></li>\n</ol>\n<p><br></p> \n<p>Connect with the Freedom Nation podcast at <a href=\"http://www.freedomnationpodcast.com/\">www.freedomnationpodcast.com</a></p>\n<p>You can connect with Jeff through :</p>\n<p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/freedomnationpodcast/\">https://www.instagram.com/freedomnationpodcast/</a></p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/JeffKikel\">https://twitter.com/JeffKikel</a></p>\n<p>LinkedIn: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkikel/\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkikel/</a></p>\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7b571e2d-f2f0-4356-bf71-87dd2e1e78ed/d91d3a2ffcc99f9a.jpeg"}
