    #23: What We Wish We Knew Before Becoming a Franchisee (So You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way)

    Let’s rewind the clock a bit—back before Altered States Wellness, back before the franchise model, and way back before we were calling the shots. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it was like to be franchisees first—because yes, we started out on the other side of the table. We said yes to a wellness franchise with big dreams and nervous energy, and what followed was… well, a masterclass in what not to do. From skimming the FDD (oops) to feeling totally lost during onboarding, we’re pulling back the curtain on the mistakes, the lessons, and the oh-so-worth-it decisions we made along the way. And spoiler alert: those experiences are exactly what led us to build Altered States Wellness the way we did—supportive, flexible, and made for real people with real dreams. Whether you're franchise-curious, daydreaming about leaving your 9-5, or just love hearing the behind-the-scenes biz stories no one talks about, this episode is for you. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be a franchisee—or what it takes to build a franchise that actually works—this one’s a must-listen. 👉 Ready to explore what it could look like to open your own Altered States Wellness studio?

    #22: Biohack or BS? What’s Actually Hacking Your Health

    Is it a life-changing hack… or just expensive nonsense in a pretty package? In this episode, we’re diving into the wellness trends flooding your feed and asking the question no one seems to be asking: does this actually work… or is it just good marketing? We’re cutting through the fluff (and the $18 smoothies) to talk about what’s worth your time, your money, and your energy—and what’s maybe just…a really well-lit placebo. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the sea of wellness “shoulds” or caught yourself Googling “do I need to cold plunge every day?”—this one’s for you. Tune in for some truth, a few laughs, and maybe a nudge to try (or skip) that trend you’ve been eyeing. To learn more about us visit https://alteredstateswellness.com!
