Wellness Pros : Real Business or a Hobby?28 Apr 202500:21:03

What You’ll Get Out of Tuning In:

“So is it a hobby or is it a business? There’s no wrong answer—but if it’s a business, you need to act like one.” → Cate Stillman

“Most wellness pros have invested $10k to $100k in modality training. What if they invested half that into business training?” → Cate Stillman

“If you can help someone lose 20 pounds, get a raise, and feel better in their life—$2,500 is a no-brainer. You just need to learn how to package and sell that transformation.” → Cate Stillman

“Once they realize the club model is the only path to real scale, the whole game changes.”→Cate Stillman

Dr. Breetholt's Healing Club: A German Doctor's Journey Through Two Medical Worlds14 Feb 202500:51:49

Dr. Breetholt's Healing Club: A German Doctor's Journey Through Two Medical Worlds

In this enlightening episode of Wellness Pro Academy, Cate sits down with Dr. Anja Breetholt, a doctor and mentor specializing in holistic health, Ayurveda, and mindset. Dr. Breetholt shares her journey from conventional medicine to Ayurveda, exploring the gaps she saw in modern healthcare and how she integrated holistic healing practices into her life and work. Together, we uncover the limitations of conventional approaches, the power of Ayurvedic wisdom, and the mindset shifts necessary for true well-being.

What You’ll Get Out of Tuning In
  1. The moment Dr. Breetholt realized conventional medicine wasn’t enough and how she turned to Ayurveda for deeper healing. (00:05:12)

  2. The key differences between Western and Ayurvedic medicine, and how they can complement each other.  (00:18:47) 

  3. The role of mindset in healing: why knowledge alone isn’t enough to create lasting health.  (00:27:30)

  4. Ayurvedic daily routines that help prevent burnout and support long-term vitality.  (00:35:10) 

  5. Practical steps to integrate Ayurveda into your life—without feeling overwhelmed.  (00:47:20)

Episode Highlights
  1. From Burnout to Balance: Dr. Breetholt’s Personal Journey - Dr. Breetholt opens up about her own struggles with exhaustion, stress, and the feeling of constantly chasing time. Despite her medical training, she found herself unwell and unfulfilled—until she discovered Ayurveda.

  2. The Missing Link in Conventional Medicine - While modern medicine excels at acute care and diagnostics, it often falls short in long-term prevention and personalized healing. Ayurveda, on the other hand, offers a tailored approach based on an individual’s constitution, lifestyle, and environment.

  3.  The Power of Ayurvedic Daily Rhythms - Dr. Breetholt explains how small, consistent habits—such as eating with the circadian rhythm, mindful movement, and breathwork—can create profound changes in health.

  4. The Mindset Shift: Knowledge vs. Embodiment - Understanding health isn’t just about having the right information—it’s about integrating wisdom into daily life. She shares mindset tools to shift from passive learning to active transformation.

Quotes

“I had all the knowledge about health, but I wasn’t living it. That was the moment I realized—knowing isn’t enough.” – Dr. Anja Breetholt (00:12:45)

“Modern medicine treats diseases. Ayurveda teaches us how to prevent them before they even start.” – Dr. Anja Breetholt (00:19:30)

“True healing happens when we stop outsourcing our health and start listening to what our bodies need.” – Dr. Anja Breetholt (00:33:10)

“Ayurveda is not about restriction—it’s about creating a rhythm that allows you to thrive.” – Dr. Anja Breetholt (00:44:55)

About Dr. Anja Breetholt

Dr. Anja Breetholt is a German medical doctor and holistic health mentor specializing in Ayurveda and mindset coaching. Driven by a lifelong curiosity about what it truly means to be healthy and fulfilled, she embarked on a transformative journey from conventional medicine to integrative healing. After years of feeling exhausted, time-starved, and disconnected despite her extensive medical knowledge, Dr. Breetholt turned to Ayurveda and holistic wellness to reclaim her vitality and balance. Now, she combines the best of both worlds—bridging modern medical science with ancient healing traditions—to guide others toward sustainable health and deeper life satisfaction. Through her work, she empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being, fostering a lifestyle that supports both physical health and inner fulfillment.

How to Talk to More Leads: Coaching Gym with Christina Sjoberg16 Aug 202200:29:00

Podcast Intro:

Sometimes, we ask ourselves what went wrong when everything didn't go according to plan, especially if we did everything in our power. We wonder what should be improved to become better. What strategies should we do to bring more clients?

Christina Sjoberg has been struggling to bring new members to her group despite her doing talks and networking. She believes she's sabotaging her success. 

In this episode, Cate Stillman is here with Christina Sjoberg to talk about generating more leads through talks. They will be talking about how to improve the talks and other alternative strategies you can do to bring more leads.

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

  • prioritizing all the things - while still remaining at ease!
  • bringing on new clients - shadow issues, confidence, etc.
  • self-sabotage and not acting on what I should

I am leading members of my group through their third quarter and we have really come together as a community where members share and support each other. This is working really well and people are experiencing amazing changes. This has helped my confidence in leading a group through the habits.

I continue to struggle with bringing on new members (I only have 6 people in my current group). I am leading talks and consistently networking, but still can't seem to engage enough people for a consultation. Everyone I have brought on so far is people I have known for many years.

I also find that I have competing priorities between my corporate yoga business and freelance consulting work. I have made the decision to not take on any more consulting work, but even with this extra time, I struggle with determining what activities will make the best use of my time to bring on clients, while also catching up on my YHC course, and supporting my group members.

I've done the master of your courses in the past, and while helpful initially, I seem to lose momentum in the activation of what I've planned. I know I have shadow issues around money (particularly selling) and also stepping into my role as a coach.

How do I overcome this so I quit sabotaging my own success? My pattern is a tendency to lurk and so I haven't been actively asking questions during the live calls when I probably would benefit - so even setting up this coaching gym is out of my comfort zone!

Quotes:

  • “All the other activities that you're doing in lead generation and lead nurturance aren't going to be effective without you having a one-on-one because we know that you're effective when you're one on one with someone.”
  • “I believe that we think that getting older and all the things associated with that, like creaking joints, medications, poor health, or fatigue, are inevitable. I believe we have much more power to change those things than we think.“
  • “I believe that if you get in the right group of healthy people, you'll change those faster, that you'll feel better faster.”
  • “Think hard about these convictions and break them into the shortest possible sentences you can and then put them on the wall. Remind yourself of your convictions every day, and then bring them up and have random conversations all the freaking time. “
  •  “Conviction sells emotions and you're helping someone. The emotion that you're reigniting in them, honestly, is hope.”
