If you've ever felt dismissed, rushed, or bounced from specialist to specialist without real answers, this episode is going to feel like a long-overdue exhale.In this episode of Grow Your Wellth, I sit down with the founders of The Well Westlake — a women's healthcare practice in Cleveland, Ohio built around a simple but revolutionary idea: that women deserve comprehensive, connected care that treats the whole person, not just a single symptom. Dr. Bahar and Dr. Maral share what inspired them to build something different, how their "inside out" approach integrates gynecology, aesthetics, hormone health, and nutrition under one roof, and why that model is changing what their patients think healthcare can actually feel like.We get into the real reason so many women don't feel like themselves and why that experience has been dismissed for far too long. We talk about perimenopause and menopause, what hormone replacement therapy actually is (and who it's right for), and how tools like GLP-1s, IV therapy, and nutrition changes can all work together as part of a personalized plan. We also go behind the curtain on aesthetic treatments, from micro-needling to PRP injectables, and why the line between feeling well and looking well isn't really a line at all – especially for entrepreneurs!Learn more at https://clevelandgyn.com and follow @the.well.westlake and @clevelandgyn on Instagram.

Ten years ago, I filed an LLC from my home attic for a new business I called FACTEUR PR. I knew a lot about PR and almost nothing about building a business. Today, FACTEUR PR is a nationally recognized, seven-figure public relations agency with a team of 12. In this special anniversary episode of Grow Your Wellth, I'm sharing the ten most valuable lessons I've learned building and scaling a business. Not the highlight reel, but the real, unsexy stuff. The lessons that came from hard mistakes, unexpected pivots, and the kind of growth that only happens when everything feels uncertain.This isn't a victory lap. It's a roadmap packed with the kind of hard-won wisdom that only comes from actually doing it for ten years. Whether you're just starting out or scaling what you've already built, I hope this episode challenges you to look at your business differently.Show links:Learn more about FACTEUR PR: www.facteurpr.comGet the Authority Toolkit at www.herealfluence.com/toolkitSign up for Realfluence: www.therealfluence.comVisit the Grow Your Wellth Website: www.growyourwellthpodcast.comWatch the Episodes on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@facteurprConnect:Follow @GrowyourwellthpodcastFollow @facteurprFollow @reenasgoodwin

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by fitness advice or like every approach you've tried just isn't sustainable, this episode is going to change how you think about moving your body.In this episode of Grow Your Wellth, I sit down with Matt Kasee, founder of Trilogy Fitness Systems, to talk about what fitness actually needs to look like for busy entrepreneurs, parents, and professionals who want to build a body that works for their real life (not just their Instagram feed!). Matt built Trilogy around a simple but powerful observation: most fitness programs aren't designed for sustainability, and people aren't failing at fitness…the programs are failing them.We get into why total-body training two to three times a week is almost all most people actually need, the real relationship between cardio and strength for longevity, and what the research actually says about the trends everyone's talking about, like weighted vests, the protein craze, and GLP-1s. Matt also opens up about the mindset side of fitness, including why celebrating small wins and building momentum matter just as much as what you do in the gym.Whether you're just getting started, returning after a setback, or wondering if it's too late to make real change, Matt's answer is a resounding no, and this conversation will give you the permission and the plan to truly succeed.Learn more about Trilogy Fitness Systems and follow Matt on Instagram at @mattkasee and @trilogyfitnesssystems.Show links:Learn more about FACTEUR PR: www.facteurpr.comGet the Authority Toolkit at www.herealfluence.com/toolkitSign up for Realfluence: www.therealfluence.comVisit the Grow Your Wellth Website: www.growyourwellthpodcast.comWatch the Episodes on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@facteurprConnect:Follow @GrowyourwellthpodcastFollow @facteurprFollow @reenasgoodwin

What if the fastest path to growing your business isn't getting more clients but taking better care of the ones you already have?In this solo episode of Grow Your Wellth, I get candid about one of the most overlooked drivers of sustainable business growth: client retention. After experiencing our worst year of client retention in 2024, we made a deliberate shift: less focus on chasing new leads, more focus on deepening the relationships we already have. The result? 100% client retention heading into 2026.I break down exactly why retention deserves to be your number one KPI, including the eye-opening stat that it can cost five to seven times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one. I walk you through five principles that made a meaningful difference in my own business.Whether you run a service-based business, a product brand, or anything in between, this episode will challenge you to look at what you already have and invest better in it to grow your business.Show links:Learn more about FACTEUR PR: www.facteurpr.comGet the Authority Toolkit at www.herealfluence.com/toolkitSign up for Realfluence: www.therealfluence.comVisit the Grow Your Wellth Website: www.growyourwellthpodcast.comWatch the Episodes on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@facteurprConnect:Follow @GrowyourwellthpodcastFollow @facteurprFollow @reenasgoodwin

In this episode of Grow Your Wellth, I’m sitting down with Kait Turshen, founder of SLFMKR and Well Stocked, to talk about what it really takes to build a successful brick-and-mortar business in today’s big box digital world.Kait shares how she opened her retail store during the uncertainty of a global pandemic — when most businesses were pulling back — and how she approached everything from negotiating to curating brands and creating an in-store experience people actually want to come back to.We talk about the strategy behind building a physical retail brand in a digital-first world, why community and education have been key to her growth, and how she’s expanded beyond beauty into new categories like kitchen and home with her latest concept, Well Stocked.Of course, we also touch on clean beauty — what it really means, how to cut through the noise of greenwashing, and why Kait built SLFMKR around a clear, values-driven standard — but this conversation goes far beyond products. It’s about vision, risk-taking, and building something tangible in a time when so much feels virtual.If you’ve ever dreamed about opening a storefront, launching a product-based business, or creating a brand experience that people connect with in real life, this episode will leave you inspired and thinking bigger.Learn more about SLFMKR at slfmkr.com and Well Stocked at wellstockedshop.com.

In this solo episode of Grow Your Wellth, I’m talking about a growth strategy that most entrepreneurs overlook: subtraction.When we think about growing a business, our instinct is usually to add more — more services, more platforms, more meetings, more tools. But in my experience, some of the biggest breakthroughs come from the opposite approach: removing what no longer serves you.I share how strategic subtraction has shaped both my business and my personal life, from removing alcohol and seeing dramatic improvements in energy and clarity, to narrowing the focus of FACTEUR PR to the industries where we deliver our strongest results.We also talk about where subtraction can have the biggest impact in business: simplifying your offers, reducing unnecessary meetings, cleaning up your tech stack, and even letting go of low-value clients.Growth doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from getting clear about what actually matters.
