All of your Questions Answered around Breast Implant Illness, having Explant Surgery, and the Recovery Process, with my Plastic Surgeon Dr. Elliot Hirsch EP312

I didn’t think I was dying, I knew I was.

After seeing countless specialists, giving vials of blood, changing my diet, everything kept coming up “normal.” Well nothing was normal anymore, as I could barely find the energy to shower, and even then I had to sit down to do it.

The last straw was when I got sent to a Psychiatrist and they based my symptoms on having ADHD, and put me Adderall. I spent the next month feeling like I was on crack-cocaine, but inside the body of a dead person. I knew this wasn’t the answer either.

I had heard of Breast Implant Illness, but there wasn’t much scientific data out there, so I didn’t think it was a real thing. Part of me didn’t want it to be real, as that would mean I had to have major surgery to remove my implants. That sounded scary to me.

Just as how all things work in my life, God made it undeniable that these saline sacks had to come out. My breasts kept getting bigger and bigger, they took on a life of their own; my body was holding onto weight and inflammation that I couldn’t shed no matter what I did or didn’t eat. My mind felt like I was losing brain cells daily, to the point of me thinking I had early onset dementia.

So in the middle of the pandemic lock down on December 2, 2020 I put my life in Dr. Elliot Hirsch’s skilled surgical hands. He preformed an Explant surgery, and reconstructed my breasts and areola’s (the areola’s are a whole different crazy situation, you will hear about on this episode).

Now that I’m 6 months post-op the only thing I wish I did differently, was to have done it sooner. I would have, if I heard a real and raw podcast episode between a patient and her plastic surgeon…which is why Dr. Hirsch and I created this special episode for you.

If you don’t have implants or any symptoms, please share this episode with anyone who does, it could save their life.

If you’ve been trying to make consistent $10K months online but your income still feels inconsistent, unpredictable, or harder than it should be… this episode will change how you approach your online business.

Because there has never been a better time to make money online.
With billions of people consuming content daily and most buyers discovering services through social media, content marketing, and online platforms, the opportunity to attract clients, grow an audience, and generate consistent monthly income is already built in.

So if you’re not hitting consistent $5K, $10K, or multi-5-figure months yet, it’s not because you need more information, more courses, or a more complicated business strategy.

It comes down to a few key decisions most entrepreneurs avoid—and the lack of consistent execution behind them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 decisions that separate inconsistent income from predictable $10K months, and how to apply them to your content, offers, and sales process so you can start making money online more consistently.

Ep 778 The Emotional Side of Launching No One Talks About (The Truth about Selling Your Offers!)

Launching an online program can look exciting from the outside. The announcements, the social media posts, the excitement of welcoming new clients into your world. But behind the scenes, there is an emotional side of entrepreneurship that almost no one talks about.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually feels like to launch and sell your offers online while you are in the middle of doing it. Because the truth is that building an online business and promoting your work can bring up far more than just marketing strategy. It can bring up vulnerability, pressure, self-doubt, and the quiet mental stories entrepreneurs create when they are putting something meaningful out into the world.

If you are launching a course, coaching program, membership, or digital product, you have likely felt some version of this. The emotional rollercoaster that happens while you are selling your offer online. The moment where you wonder if you explained it clearly enough. The moment where you check the numbers and your brain starts creating stories about what it means.
