Key Takeaways A lot can change over the course of a year. When times are unpredictable, the support you get from a community like a mastermind is invaluable. It is also an opportunity to get really clear on what your business does and who you serve. The key is finding the right balance of structure and adaptability.     What a year it has been! I launched this podcast one year ago and so much has happened since. 2020 certainly has gone differently than any of us could have expected. Since I launched this show, my life and business have taken some unexpected turns as well. This episode is to give you a peek into the last year for me, this podcast, and my business.   The Support of a Mastermind First off, this was the first year that I ran my mastermind. Regular listeners know how much I value these groups. Through this community, my mastermind partners and I have found the support, feedback, and expertise that we’ve needed for business success. It has been amazing to watch the members of this group show up and be there for each other.   My New Focus Over the last year, my focus for this podcast has shifted somewhat. The main focus remains centered on great nutritional strategies that also include mindset and spirituality. However, I’ve found that topics related to business have repeatedly come up. In recent months, I’ve come to better understand the importance of getting really clear on my business’ mission and niche. I was torn between focusing on my health business or business coaching. In a year of people pivoting their businesses, I realized that I could shift my own approach to help other nutritionists grow and scale an online business.   What’s Next For This Podcast Just because I shifted my business does not mean I want to stop talking about health. That’s why this podcast will remain focused on topics related to nutrition and healthy living. I’ll still include some topics related to business. However, I see this show as a way for amazing practitioners to share the topics that they’re passionate about. How are flexibility and structure both important in your life?

I like to help people solve problems and I like to help them see opportunities.” [16:30] “Something that we have to learn as humans is the ability to combine planning, process, and strategy - all of the structure that we want to put into our lives - we have to learn to combine that with flexibility and adaptability.”  [37:16]   Review Fed and Fearless on Apple Podcasts!
