Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors. I'm making the case that high volume is not the only legitimate shape of a successful practice, and that the framing saying otherwise is doing real damage to this profession.I introduce the concept I've been calling "scale down to scale up": narrowing your focus, building specialized programs around specific outcomes, and growing your revenue without growing your patient load. I also use Tara Tonini's story as a real-world example of what this actually looks like in practice.Download Outgrown: https://www.tcm-hub.com/outgrownSix Figures in Seven Months w/Tara ToniniIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I'm getting personal about who I used to be before any of this, and why that matters for you.I make the case that what looks like natural confidence or business ability is almost never that, and why the real reason most practitioners stay stuck is that they keep skipping the one category of work that actually moves the needle: managing their mind.Download Outgrown: www.tcm-hub.com/outgrownIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I'm talking about what actually happens to your practice when your day goes sideways, and why most practitioners have no plan for it.Using a real coaching call as the starting point, I get into why building your practice for the perfect day is a liability, what elite performers do differently, and how to create a simple if-then plan that keeps you from losing revenue, focus, and patients on the days you can least afford to.Download my new book Outgrown for free: tcm-hub.com/outgrownIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailEntrepreneurship brings up all your shit, and sometimes what's stopping you is harder to spot than you'd think. In this episode, I name the fear underneath every stuck place in your Chinese medicine practice: fear of rejection.Using a recent coaching call, I break down why your survival brain treats a cold pitch to a referral partner like a real threat, and how that instinct keeps experienced acupuncturists frozen in a practice they've already outgrown. I walk through how it shows up day to day, from underpricing your work to softening your point of view so nobody can object to you.Rejection is your currency to get to the next level. Being disliked by some people is the price of stepping into a new identity.Apply to work with me at tcm-hub.com/fed. Grab my book Outgrown at tcm-hub.com/outgrown.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors. I'm sharing a real coaching call where we work through three of the most uncomfortable patient situations practitioners face: the patient who won't follow your protocol, the new patient who's already a bad fit before she walks in the door, and the one whose payment situation is raising red flags.We cover how to have these conversations from a place of clarity rather than frustration, how to catch a mismatch early enough to course correct, and how to hold a boundary that comes from love instead of resentment.Download my free book Outgrown: tcm-hub.com/outgrownIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I'm talking about the trap that's built into the structure of Chinese medicine private practice, and why the qualities that make you an excellent clinician are often the exact ones working against your business.I get into why staying stuck has nothing to do with your strategy, your niche, or your marketing, and everything to do with identity: specifically, the difference between running your practice from your survival brain versus your CEO brain.Links mentioned: tcm-hub.com/outgrownIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I'm coming off knee surgery and keeping it short, but I had something on my mind worth saying.After a week of WAY too much scrolling, I kept running into the same pattern: people dismissing success stories as luck, privilege, or circumstance.

I'm making the case that a packed schedule and a waiting list are not a mark of success: they're a sign you're undercharging.I walk through why the high-volume clinic became the profession's default image of success, why busyness is keeping so many practitioners trapped as employees in their own businesses, and why raising your prices is only half the solution.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors. I make the case that the Chinese medicine profession doesn't have an external problem, it has a business problem.I break down why 60 to 70% of licensed acupuncturists leave the field, why blaming the patriarchy or lack of insurance reimbursement misses the point, and why the women who dominate this profession are the ones who have to lead its reinvention. This is a call out, and it comes from a place of love.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I share what happened when I injured my knee right as my powerlifting training was peaking and how fast I spiraled into frustration, self-pity, and a full-on slump. But this isn’t really about my knee. It’s about what happens when you commit to something meaningful, like building a practice, competing, growing your business, and then hit the part no one talks about: The valley of despair. I break down the emotional cycle of change, why your survival brain wants you to quit, and why most practitioners abandon the plan the moment it stops feeling exciting. Success is not built at the top of the mountain. It’s built in the valley. If you’re discouraged, bored, doubting yourself, or tempted to pivot again, this episode will help you understand why that feeling might actually mean you’re exactly where you need to be.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack why so many Chinese medicine practitioners struggle to say how much money they actually want to make, and why that hesitation is not a math problem but an identity problem. We explore the cultural, professional, and gender-based money scripts that shape our relationship with wealth, why “I don’t want to be rich” is often loaded with hidden meaning, and how under-earning in this profession is tied to deeper beliefs about worth, safety, and morality. Money is not greedy or noble. It’s a neutral tool and the oxygen of your business. If your practice is part of your purpose, you cannot fulfill it while under-resourced. This episode challenges you to confront your money identity, define your number clearly, and stop pretending it doesn’t matter. If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I share a story from early in my career when I sublet out of two clinics and thought I was being smart by “hedging my bets.” What actually happened was predictable: split focus, slow growth, wasted energy, and no real momentum. I unpack why trying to keep all your options open feels safe but is one of the most expensive mistakes practitioners make, especially when building a practice.Indecision drains your attention, and attention is your most valuable asset. I explain why the cost of the wrong decision is almost always lower than the cost of no decision, how fear disguises itself as responsibility, and why committing to one direction is often the fastest way forward. If you’re stuck juggling locations, ideas, or contingencies and wondering why nothing is clicking, this episode will help you understand what’s really holding you back.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the outsized power the one-star review holds in Chinese medicine and why fear of being disliked is quietly undermining clinical authority, boundaries, and self-respect. I break down how people-pleasing masquerades as kindness, why running your practice like the hospitality industry erodes trust, and how making decisions from fear leads to burnout and resentment. I explain why specialists don’t win on star ratings alone, how integrity matters more than universal approval, and why learning to let people be wrong about you is a core leadership skill. If you’ve ever bent your policies, overridden your instincts, or kept a patient you knew you shouldn’t because you were afraid of a bad review, this episode will help you reclaim your authority and practice medicine like a doctor again.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the rising sense of despair many people are feeling in response to the state of the world and why staying stuck in that despair doesn’t serve you, your patients, or your purpose. I explore how our brains are wired to fixate on the negative, how media algorithms profit from that bias, and why giving equal airtime to what’s good in your life is a radical act of mental hygiene. I share how I personally navigate feelings of overwhelm by asking, “Who do I want to be while feeling this way?” This episode is a call to reclaim your focus, protect your energy, and stay grounded in reality.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about why most people abandon their goals, often within weeks, and how to stop repeating that cycle. I unpack the psychology behind vague goals, missing plans, and the fear of disappointment that leads so many practitioners to avoid goal-setting altogether. But the point of goals isn’t to have more. It’s to become more. I share how the real value of a goal lies in who you become during the process, not just in the outcome itself. If you’ve struggled with follow-through, avoided setting goals altogether, or feel like you’re stuck in survival mode, this episode will help you shift your thinking and finally choose a goal worth showing up for.Link mentioned: tcm-hub.com/fedIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Better Doctors., Michael and I share our recap of Harmonize 8 and 9: our boldest back-to-back training weekends yet. We talk about what changed this time around, from improved student-teacher ratios and real-time diagnostics to the powerful new margins and pricing module that finally addresses how to price herbs based on reality, not emotion. We also reflect on the growing momentum behind our mission to reposition herbal medicine as primary care, not a last resort, and why this shift still matters so much. Plus, you’ll hear what happened when someone with zero Chinese medicine training showed up and left accurately calling out patterns like damp-heat.

Send us Fan MailIn this New Year’s episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I break down the top five things the Chinese medicine profession needs to leave behind in 2025 if we want to evolve. From people-pleasing and toxic social media habits to blaming dry needling, avoiding sales and marketing, and staying paralyzed by fear of change. I'm brutally honest about what’s not working and what’s holding us back. I share personal experiences, challenge some long-standing narratives in the field, and offer a clear call to action for stepping into a more empowered, effective, and entrepreneurial version of your practice. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start leading, this episode is your roadmap for what to let go of now.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn 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 in the pursuit. If you’ve ever felt like hitting your goals didn’t deliver the satisfaction you expected, this episode is a powerful invitation to reframe why you strive, what’s truly within your control, and how to stop living for the next milestone and start living your life now.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn 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 outsourcing decisions to Facebook groups, ChatGPT, or strangers on Reddit, the result is the same: you weaken the very muscles you’re trying to grow. This episode is a call to stop avoiding the hard stuff, stop saying “I don’t know,” and start treating your own brain like the best tool you have.

Send us Fan MailIn 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 undermine your authority, and why confident, clear communication, whether you're prescribing or referring out, is one of your most powerful clinical tools. If you’re still not fully sold on yourself or what you offer, this episode will help you understand why that matters more than any strategy or script.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

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 yes. I talk about what it really means to put yourself in luck’s way, why discomfort is often the path to your next level, and how to stop asking “Why is this happening to me?” and start asking “Why is this happening for me?”If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn 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 self-talk, and why it matters more than you think. Language shapes perception, and perception shapes compliance, confidence, and outcomes. If you're tired of not being taken seriously, this episode will show you how to start speaking like the doctor your patients are looking for.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn 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 slide back into overwhelm once you’re home, this episode explains why that happens and how ongoing support makes all the difference.

It re=patterns how you prescribe, price, and position herbs as the core of your practice. I share what it really takes to shift from undercharging and over-accommodating to leading with confidence, outcomes, and big-girl pricing.

Send us Fan MailIn 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 think differently about money, and why betting on yourself is the move that changes everything. If you’ve ever hesitated to invest in the thing you know you need, this episode will help you break through the fear and start thinking like a true business owner.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

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 self-honoring without losing your heart or your patients.If you’ve ever struggled with raising rates, worrying someone will say no, or feeling undervalued after delivering incredible care, this episode will help you rethink how you price and why your reason matters most.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

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 where they’re at” often becomes an excuse to avoid leading, and how stepping into true clinical authority, without being authoritarian, is what actually builds trust, compliance, and results. If you’ve ever found yourself under-treating, over-accommodating, or avoiding hard conversations, this episode will challenge you to take your seat as the doctor your patients need.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

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 can avoid selling and still build a thriving practice, and show how clarity, confidence, and conviction in your recommendations are what actually build trust, compliance, and outcomes. If you’ve been dancing around sales conversations or letting patients ghost instead of guiding them, this episode is your wake-up call.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I talk about what it really takes to reach the next level: identity shifts, strategic investment, mentorship, and a willingness to do what feels uncomfortable. You'll also hear powerful reflections from Harmonize grads about how saying yes to Harmonize changed their confidence, results, and freedom. If you're stuck, this episode will help you reframe growth not as a cost—but as a decision to become who you need to be.Check out Harmonize: www.tcm-hub.com/harmonizeIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

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 failure shrinks your potential, and how to finally grow into the version of yourself who can receive and hold everything you’ve been working for.

Send us Fan MailIn 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 yourself, and reclaiming your power by owning your thoughts, actions, and results. If you’ve ever felt disempowered by your circumstances, this episode is a must-listen for reframing your narrative and taking back control of your business and your life.Link mentioned: www.tcm-hub.com/harmonizeIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn 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 trust is ultimately a decision, not a sign. If you’ve ever downplayed your expertise, delayed launching an offer, or felt blocked at the moment someone says “yes,” this one will hit home.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Easy paths don’t inspire. But the tough moments? They’re the scenes future you will look back on with pride. If it feels hard right now, maybe it’s because you’re in the middle of the part that makes your story worth telling.Links mentioned in this episode: www.tcm-hub.com/harmonizeAsk ChatGPTIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about “procrastilearning”—that sneaky habit of staying stuck in learning mode to avoid the discomfort of taking action. You tell yourself you just need one more course, one more training, one more certification, but deep down you know the real issue isn’t knowledge—it’s fear. I explore why lasting change requires more than new strategies or skills; it demands an identity shift into the person who already has the life and practice you want. Readiness is a myth. You don’t get ready by learning more. You get ready by starting.Sign up for the FREE Boundaries Masterclass!www.tcm-hub.com/fedIf this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I dive into one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of business growth: recognizing when you’re running your business from old wounds and unexamined narratives. These patterns—from fear of rejection to over-responsibility—often show up as overworking, people-pleasing, control, and burnout. While these wounds may have helped you survive in the past, they’re not the fuel you want for building the business or life you truly desire. I share how to spot these patterns and why the work isn’t about erasing them but learning to take back the wheel with clarity, courage, and intention.Harmonize docs mentioned:Tara ToniniLeo BiermanJoseph HootsKristin Cheng (I forgot to mentioned her name in the podcast! 🤦🏻‍♀️)If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

I talk about the intentional decisions we’ve made to build a business that supports an extraordinary life, not just a predictable one.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., we unpack the subtle but crucial difference between pushing through discomfort and pushing past it. While pushing past can get short-term results, it often bypasses the growth that actually increases your capacity and resilience. True transformation happens when you meet discomfort with curiosity, process the fear, and take action with intention. This episode is an invitation to stop associating discomfort with crisis, and instead start seeing it as the signal that you’re on the edge of real growth.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., we look at the one thing beneath every strategy, system, and training that actually moves your practice forward: courage. Whether it’s pivoting your business, raising your rates, or simply acting on what you already know, the gap is rarely about needing more information—it’s about being willing to take uncomfortable action before you feel ready. This episode is your reminder that change doesn’t come from playing it safe. It comes from choosing growth over comfort, again and again. If not now, when? And if not you, who?If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., we unpack the fantasy and reality behind building a virtual or location-independent practice. While the dream of time freedom and remote work is enticing, many practitioners underestimate what’s truly involved. From blending incompatible modalities to managing multiple business models, the path to going virtual is rarely seamless—and often rooted in a quiet desire to escape the hard parts of running a Chinese medicine practice. This episode challenges you to examine your motivations and reminds you that no business model will rescue you from discomfort. Only an intentional, courageous mindset will create the extraordinary life you're looking for.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"
