Memorable Quotes:

  • “If you’re talking about the specific diagnosis of anxiety, or the specific diagnosis of depression, you don’t want to talk about that unless you’re a licensed clinical practitioner in a medical relationship.”
  • “The way that you stay in your lane as a health coach is you don’t violate any of those other professions…our biggest focus is not to do what other people are licensed to do.”
  • “It’s always better to have a clear, strong refund policy, preferably no refunds, that you can also do the other partial or full refund. Just be super clear and have that in your document and that’s the first step to practically refund proofing your business.”
