Stand Out Be You Tequila Dodard

Healthy entrepreneurs, unite! Today on the podcast, we’ve got the story of a solopreneur who’s passionate about showing people how to improve their health—even during their busy work lives.



As a dietician for 23 years, Tammi Brochman has made it her mission to help women entrepreneurs reclaim their physical, emotional, and mental wellness, which allows them to increase their performance and contributions in work and life. And as a mother of four, a wife, and a solo business owner, Tammi truly knows how to manage her time well in her busy day-to-day life, plus exactly what it takes to become healthy successful entrepreneur.



Whether you’re thinking about starting a healthy business, or whether you’re already in a business for yourself, you’ll want to tune in to hear more about the obstacles to practicing good self-care—and how you can prioritize yours.

How to Be a Healthy Eating Entrepreneur

Pesticides and herbicides and all that that go into our foods, that’s a commonality…I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of people who have some sort of gluten intolerance from foods here in America, but then they go to Italy and they can eat the pasta there. Well, the farming practices in Italy are vastly different than the farming practices in the United States when it comes to wheat products, and the reason being is that it doesn’t contain all of the toxins that the foods here in America contain.



Clean eating has become a buzzword these days—but part of Tammi’s underlying mission is to make sure that its importance doesn’t get lost in the noise.



As Tammi explains, Clean eating can be different for every body. Everyone has different dietary needs, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, and all of those things fit into the makeup of the food that we eat. When Tammi talks about clean eating, she means taking a look at universal things we consider unnecessary (like toxins), as well as foods that might be allergens or inflammatory for you. Eliminating those things from your diet can help you live a healthier and happier life. And helping people get healthy and happy? That’s Tammi’s passion.



Tammi first started out as a dietician in a hospital fitness center, where she worked to provide community nutrition assistance. Somewhere along the way, her work sparked an idea: there’s a need for dietary assistance in the public, plus an opportunity in the business world. On the podcast, Tammi talks about all the reasons why she eventually left full-time work, went off on her own, and never looked back.



When you hear her speak, you’ll quickly realize that Tammi did something we all strive for: she followed her passion, worked to feel fulfilled, and she can still take care of her family. The road to success wasn’t easy, as Tammi explains, but you’ll still want to tune in for her tips, tricks, and insights as you learn how to be a healthy eating entrepreneur!

By providing organic marketing services, Amanda helps other moms who own their own business get seen on Google.

How to Attract Visitors to Your Website

Your skills are already there. You just have to sit back take a moment, and just rewind and think about all the things that you can do. We don’t always take the time to just write it out, and just say how good you really are.



Everyone wants to use their skills and passions to create their ideal lifestyle. (That’s probably why you’re listening to this podcast!) Most of the time, we also tend to think, “Once I use my skills to create my own business, I’ll be finally able to live the life that I’ve always wanted.” But unfortunately, that’s not always the case! As we learn and grow, we realize that we have to work hard to strike a balance in order to become more time-rich.



For Amanda, this was especially true—and she speaks candidly about how she began to find success and strike that balance. When she first became a mom, Amanda was so busy working that she didn’t have much time to spend with her daughters early on. But SEO was her biggest skill, and she soon became determined to make money from home without returning to work.



That’s when she started her own digital marketing agency, The Determined Mom. With SEO as its main focus, the business is geared toward mom business owners and CEOs who need help with a myriad of different marketing needs. Plus, Amanda loves empowering and helping others to build a business and be a mom at the same time, employing moms who want to stay at home and work even with kids underfoot.



With plenty of tips on everything from time management, parenting, and SEO strategies, Amanda has a wealth of information to share. Don’t miss out!

What does it really mean to have a brand, and how do you make sure that yours stands out in a crowd?



Today on the Stand Out Be You podcast, we’re sitting down with someone who knows the answers to these questions—and much more. Brand visibility expert Kim Speed sits down with your host Tequila to chat about branding, being yourself, and growing a business.







Celebrating her tenth year with her company Purple Moon Creative, Kim works closely with small business owners and entrepreneurs to help them create an exceptional brand that attracts loyal clients. With Kim’s help, these companies become visible to the right audience, figure out what their secret sauce is, and share their unique message in a clear way.



If you’re looking to grow your business and create an exceptional brand, you’ll want to hear Kim’s thoughts on skill sets, branding, and how businesses evolve. Come take a listen!

How to Create a Business Brand That Stands Out

You want people to think you know what you’re doing if they’re going to hire you. But more and more, I find that people realize you don’t have to know everything. You do have something to offer because you do know more than your clients or your customers. And they want the information that you do know. But you need help, too.



Maybe you’re starting a business, or maybe you’ve had a business for quite some time. Whatever the case, there’s probably a moment where your first impulse is to “stand out.” You want a shiny new logo, a new website, a new everything...but according to Kim, that’s not where your success comes from.



Your business is what you sell, but your brand sells your business. And branding isn’t just about the logo and website—it’s about who you are. It’s about what you stand for, your reputation, how people describe you when you’re not in the room. It’s about how people feel about you, and how you carve out a niche when it comes to your audience. When all of that comes together, great things happen and your business booms.



That’s where Kim comes in. She’s spent the last ten years helping companies become industry experts by turning their brands into valuable assets. And after those ten years, she’s really nailed down what she does. Once she first identified her brand and niche (or once her niche found her, as she explains on the podcast!) she quickly realized that many other business owners need help doing exactly the same thing.



Because at the end of the day, even with other businesses and brands jostling for a share of the market you want, there’s only one you.



Only you have your unique message and story. Only you can explain why people should be attracted to your brand. That’s why it’s so important to understand your brand, and to know who you are...because if you don’t know, how can your clients?

Today’s guest on the Stand Out Be You podcast is here to share her vulnerable heart, opening up to offer her story and her life lessons to all of us.





As a solopreneur, Danielle Kean’s passion is helping Millennials define exactly what they want to do, and how to share that unique passion with others. After overcoming a huge personal loss, Danielle had to learn to trust her own heart again, making her way forward to carve out a fulfilling business just for herself. Here on the podcast, Danielle explains how she first dove into herself in order to better help others in her life.



If you’re trying to figure out how to get rid of limiting beliefs, tune into this episode to hear Danielle’s tips on to believe in yourself first, finding the path to your most authentic self.

How to Get Rid of Limiting Beliefs

I think that was a really hard lesson for me to learn, that the universe took away something so precious and so beautiful, and now it’s time for me to be that beauty in my own life, and to take ownership of that beauty in my own life.



There’s no good time to lose your mother, but for Danielle, it was a devastating blow to bear. They were close—like “two peas in a pod,” as Danielle explains—and the loss was overwhelming.



Following her mother’s passing, Danielle had to take control of her mother’s affairs, working out for herself how to remain focused and strong in the face of her personal tragedy. And as Danielle explains in the episode, she quickly learned that the universe didn’t owe her anything: starting her own business after her mother’s passing was just as hard as it might have been otherwise.



Still, Danielle worked hard on her own passions, understanding how to get rid of limiting beliefs that held her back from her goal. After a lot of hard work, she began to own her strengths and vision, coming into her own authentic self—and that’s exactly what she strives to do now for her clients.



Today, Danielle works with Millenials to bring them into what she calls You 2.0 helping them thrive by stepping into who they truly are. With a ton of helpful insights and tips from her own experience, as well as things she’s learned by working closely with her clients, Danielle explains how all of us can become our most authentic selves.
