(11:26) Most people don’t actually know how good they can feel because they are so used to how they are feeling…which isn’t actually normal.

(13:00) Being tired, sluggish, and drained all the time isn’t actually normal.

(16:30) Often as entrepreneurs we things it’s normal to always be in that hustle mode, but that can actually be causing or exacerbating your exhaustion.

(17:45) What signs a health coach should be looking out for that can indicate a further health concern might need to be checked out & should refer their clients out to a doctor.

(19:55) As a health coach, one of the roles you hold is to be the point person who knows what direction to point your client in. That includes them going to talk with a doctor.
