A free call for holistic health and wellness entrepreneurs
Monday Dec. 12, 2011 at 8:30pm ET
(Lots of gifts are going to be given away to those on the line! Tea, Gift Certificates, Art, Books, Chocolate and more! But you need to be there in person to win!)
How do you do it all? Huh?
We assume others are doing everything. And doing it better than us, right? Um. Let’s get real for a second about family balance, routine, having enough time and the varied roles we play.
Here’s the truth to doing it all:
You don’t. We don’t either. And you shouldn’t stress yourself out trying.
Here’s another truth:
You get to do what you love and what you choose.
Join us for this 45 minute teleseminar so Hannah and I can show you crazy simple ways to make your business and life work within your family structure. We are going to talk about the times when things are going really well and also how to handle those darker days, when you are feeling funky and a bit lost.

Jasmine is one of our MamaCoach Bootcamp troopers I’m highlighting this summer – she is joining us all the way from Abu Dhabi! Man, I love the internet. Jasmine, thank you for bringing healthy living to the other side of the globe! Everyone else, check out the Sweet Potato Stew recipe she’s got brewing (recipe below).
So Jasmine, what’s your deal? What are you doing in the UAE?
I’m fairly new to the Health Coaching business as I am part of the Winter 2010 IIN course and we have just completed Module 19 this week. My website is under construction and I’m ready to take clients after the summer months. My husband, I and our two children, 5 and 2 live overseas in Abu Dhabi, UAE. We are teachers by profession working at an international school there. I am also a registered yoga teacher and food has been my passion since I was very young. In the last few years I’ve noticed that all I read was Diet and Healthy Lifestyle Books.
Oh I know what that’s like. For awhile there I forgot to read anything else! Sometimes there’s a point where I’m like, ok, hand me the trashy magazine, I’m getting too worked up reading about sustainable food choices and whatnot. It’s easy to go overboard. What’s your advice to folks about staying healthy and well, balanced?

I thought last weekend was Easter. And I’ve totally forgotten to send birthday cards to some important family members. Oy. Broken up nights of sleep (though Danny did sleep 6 straight hours last night!) makes my brain mush on certain topics, I tell you. Luckily, healthy food and living isn’t one of them because I read up on it all week. Here are my top picks!
Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you!

I love the interwebs. There’s so much out there to read about (and procrastinate with, let’s face it.) So for your Friday procrastination, I present Friday Link Lovin’! These are articles, products, whatever has caught my eye this week. Enjoy and have a happy weekend, friends.
- Weight Watchers admits that calorie counting alone is not effective for weight loss! No duh.
- In response to my post about toxicity in fabrics, some of you asked about using greener, healthier feminine care products. Sure! How bout these?
Creamy Buckwheat with Peas, Fennel and Watercress? Yes! This recipe looks soooo good.
- The Institute for Integrative Nutrition compiled 25 ways to detox and guess what? My 21 Day Detox is #5, right next to famous dudes like Dr. Mark Hyman and David Wolfe. Holla!
- A change in diet can help ADHD. Well, no kidding. I’m glad to see this info getting some attention!
- Holy favorite new shoes, batman. Get ‘em. We can be foot twins.
- Dawn is considering a career change into the nutrition world. Whaddya think about changing careers? Help a sista out and in the meantime check out her yummy delish pudding recipe.
Got a great link to share? Leave it in the comments, yo.

I know darn well that half of my site’s visitors are from other holistic practitioners, so now is your chance to shine!
Hello, all you wonderful people! Thanks for stopping by.
Working as a health coach, yoga teacher, reiki master, etc. is fabulously fulfilling stuff. But as we all know, there is a whole other side of the job – the business side. Here’s where we do the administrative tasks, the marketing, and the advertising.
I’m blessed to have started Find Your Balance after a decade of working in the advertising world. (Think Mad Men, except with the internet.) I worked in the creative department at the largest ad agency in New England – up to my eyeballs branding and advertising national brands like Royal Caribbean, Oral-B, Talbots and Ocean Spray.
Over the past year I’ve received more requests than I can adequately respond to, from other holistic practitioners, asking me:
“Michelle, how do I get a website?”
“I love your newsletters, can you help me with mine?”
“What is Twitter?”
