Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack the trap of chasing achievement as a path to worthiness or lasting happiness. Using examples like Paris Syndrome, holiday letdowns, and the emptiness that follows big wins, I explore the cultural myth that things will be better “once you get there.” I break down the “have-do-be” mindset that keeps so many of us stuck, and offer a different lens: fulfillment comes not from the finish line, but from who you become ...

EP134 When Delegating Goes Wrong
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about what happens when we delegate our self-trust to AI, social media, or the hive mind instead of doing the harder, slower work of thinking for ourselves. I share my own experience using ChatGPT to write podcast episodes and why it left me feeling disconnected from my content and my audience. I also unpack the deeper issue behind this habit: many of us were never taught to trust our own thinking. Whether you’re o...

EP133 Imposter Syndrome in the Treatment Room
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the one quality that drives every successful treatment plan, patient outcome, and practice: your own confidence. From my personal experience recovering from ACL surgery to the clinical win of a Harmonize graduate who leaned into certainty, I discuss how your belief in your work directly shapes how patients respond. We look at how imposter syndrome and vague language like “let’s see how it goes” can unde...

EP132 How to Put Yourself in Luck’s Way
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack the myth of luck and why waiting for your “big break” is often just a clever form of hiding. Inspired by the story behind the viral Bernie Sanders mitten photo, I explore the two mindsets that show up in moments of opportunity: the entrepreneurial brain and the employee brain. I break down why success isn’t about privilege or chance. It’s about recognizing opportunity when it knocks and having the courage to say ...

EP131 The Words That Are Undermining Your Authority
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I break down how seemingly harmless language, like “try,” “hope,” “unfortunately,” or even “I don’t know", can erode your authority, your patient’s trust, and your ability to lead. These words, often rooted in people-pleasing and perfectionism, are especially common in a profession dominated by women trained to soften their voice. I share examples of how these habits show up in treatment plans, communication, and se...

EP130 Harmonize Doesn’t End on the Weekend
Send us a text In this episode, Michael breaks down what really makes Harmonize different, and why the weekend training is just the beginning. Most practitioners assume the live event is the whole value, but what actually changes your clinic is the backend support. Michael explains how Harmonize Blueprint, Hub Community, and Script Assist work together to help you integrate the system into real life without getting lost in old patterns. If you’ve ever left a great training only to...

EP129 Special Episode: Still Circling Harmonize? Listen To This First
Send us a text In this special episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I walk you through exactly what Harmonize is, and what it isn’t, so you can make a clear, grounded decision about whether this training is right for you. If you’ve been circling the page, talking yourself into or out of it, or living in the “maybe someday” swirl, this is the episode I’d hand you and say: start here. Harmonize isn’t just about formulas or CEUs. It re=patterns how you prescribe, price, and position ...

EP128 “You Can’t Afford to Keep Saying That”
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the difference between spending and investing, and why saying “I can’t afford it” is often just a thought, not a fact. I share how our beliefs around money are shaped by consumer culture, and why many Chinese medicine practitioners stay stuck not because they doubt the value of a program, but because they don’t fully trust themselves to follow through. I unpack how to build self-trust, how entrepreneurs...

EP127 Raising Prices Without Guilt
Send us a text In this coaching episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I work with a practitioner who’s feeling stuck between wanting to raise her prices and not wanting to disappoint longtime patients. What unfolds is a powerful exploration of people-pleasing, undercharging, resentment, and what it really means to make authentic business decisions. We dig into the emotional weight of caretaking, the guilt that comes with setting boundaries, and how to shift from self-sacrificing to...

EP126 Stop Meeting Patients Where They’re At
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about how people-pleasing and a fear of being disliked can sabotage your authority as a practitioner and your patients’ outcomes. I share stories from my own early days in practice, where I let patients dictate treatment, negotiated on my own recommendations, and stayed quiet to avoid conflict. Spoiler: none of it worked. Patients didn’t get better, and they stopped coming. I unpack why “meeting people ...

EP125 Selling Like a Doctor, Not a Sleazeball
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack why so many Chinese medicine practitioners resist sales and how that resistance is quietly killing their businesses. I share personal stories and professional missteps to reframe sales not as sleazy or greedy, but as a core clinical skill. If my job as a doctor is to move someone from suffering to relief, then persuading them to follow through on a treatment plan is part of that job. I challenge the myth that you...

EP124 When You Don't Have to Work
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I dive into the unique challenges of building a business when you’re financially comfortable and don’t technically need to work. Whether you’re supported by a partner or have other income streams, it can be surprisingly hard to find the fire that fuels meaningful growth. I share my own story of running a “jobby” for years and the hard truth about what happens when comfort overrides ambition. This episode is about en...

EP123 What to Do When You’ve Hit a Plateau
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I share a personal story about hitting the edge of what I could accomplish alone—and how that experience mirrors the exact point where many Chinese medicine practitioners stall in their business. Whether it’s lifting heavier weights or growing a practice, there comes a time when self-guided effort isn’t enough. I talk about what it really takes to reach the next level: identity shifts, strategic investment, mentorship, an...

EP122 Be The Proof
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack why many Chinese medicine practitioners hesitate to specialize, niche down, or take bold steps in their business, and how that hesitation is rooted in fear, not fact. I share the story of a practitioner who believed there weren’t “enough patients” for her niche, and how we dismantled that false narrative with math, mindset, and a reminder that entrepreneurs don’t wait for proof. They become it. If you’ve ev...

EP121 Capability vs. Capacity: What’s Holding You Back?
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I break down the critical difference between capability and capacity, and why understanding this gap is the key to sustainable growth in both life and business. Just because you’re capable doesn’t mean you’ve built the capacity to handle what you want. And repeating “I don’t have the bandwidth” might be training your brain to believe you can’t. I explore how language shapes your identity, why avoiding stress and fai...

EP120 This Is the Worst Thing You Can Say About Me
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack the hidden ways we resist growth in life and business. Whether it’s avoiding discomfort, clinging to outdated identities, or numbing through distraction. From the pressure to stay youthful to the fear of letting go of what no longer fits, I break down why personal evolution feels so uncomfortable and why resisting it creates even more suffering. If your business feels stuck or you’re feeling stagnant, it’s ...

EP119 This Fear Is Costing You Growth
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I explore the real reason so many Chinese medicine practitioners hold back from growing their businesses: fear of being judged. Whether it’s posting on social media, raising your rates, or stepping into a more visible role, the discomfort of potential criticism can keep you small. I unpack the evolutionary roots of this fear, why it feels so intense, and how to shift your mindset so that judgment becomes a sign you’re doi...

EP118 What Real Empowerment Looks Like in Business
Send us a text In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I discuss what real empowerment actually means for Chinese medicine practitioners, especially women in the profession. I share a story about a Facebook group that mistook outrage and blame for empowerment—and why that mindset keeps us stuck. True empowerment doesn’t come from complaining about inequality or waiting for someone else to change. It comes from self-accountability, rewriting the story you’re telling your...

EP117 How To Know When You're Ready
Send us a text In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes coaching conversation with a practitioner who made a massive leap: she pitched and sold a $6,000 postpartum package that includes in-home acupuncture, herbal medicine, and chef-prepared meals. But the real shift wasn’t just charging a premium. It was confronting the hidden resistance to receiving that level of money and ownership. We talk about what it means to move out of hustle mode, how to know when it’s “enough,” and why tr...

EP116 A Hard Life Makes A Good Song

From watching a surprisingly drama-free documentary about Kenny G to navigating hard seasons in my own business, I explore why grit, struggle, and setbacks are what give your story depth. Easy paths don’t inspire. But the tough moments? They’re the scenes future you will look back on with pride. If it fee...
