I am so excited to introduce all of you to Laura Noel this week! Laura is the founder and CEO of Stretch into Success where she works with high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs as a mindset consultant to help them move outside their comfort zone.
Laura has a really compelling background with a career starting in the military. One day, she had an epiphany moment where she got clear on what her purpose truly was in this world and ended up making a complete 180-degree transition into coaching and consulting.
In this episode, Laura and I go deep into the mindset tactics that are required to take your vision and your life to the next level. Think of this episode as working with a mindset trainer who is really going to help to pull you outside of your comfort zone and give you specific tactics on how to make that happen! Laura shares key insights around how we can live our lives full of purpose, how to combat imposter syndrome and self-doubts, which mindset pieces we need to put in place in order to become more effective leaders, how to discover our purpose, and how we can all live to our highest potential.
This conversation was truly insightful and I can’t wait for you to get the opportunity to know Laura and hear all of her incredible nuggets of wisdom!

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

David Perez gave us so many actionable pieces of advice in this episode! What were your key takeaways from our conversation? Did anything surprise you? Are you planning on starting up a podcast? Join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker!
While I don’t like rules, I do believe that rules have a place in both our society and in our lives.
When it comes to living my own and being able to execute in alignment with my own values, I leverage rules from a unique stance. A few years ago, I read an incredibly impactful book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms, by Vishen Lakhiani. It changed my way of thinking around rules and “brules” (AKA bullsh*t rules; the rules society has created for us). Vishen contends, and I have observed, that if we are not clear on defining our own set of rules in life, we fall victim to these “brules” that are created by society.
Since this read, I’ve begun setting my own rules. What this has done for me in my own life is that it has created a set of boundaries and provided a framework that I’m committed to living by. In designing my own rules, I’ve learned how to play my own version of “the game” and live in complete alignment with my values, goals, and where I want to go. This is how I stay focused and know what actions to take in the heat of the moment.
Join me in this episode to learn more about setting your own rules, breaking the ones that don’t serve you, optimizing your focus and performance, and the five rules I am currently living by right now.
Key Takeaways:
[:43] About today’s solo episode!
[2:52] Why we need to be clear on setting our own rules in life.
[4:14] How I reevaluate my rules to ensure they align with my values and goals.
[5:45] The rules I set when I first set up my practice to create space and healthy boundaries in my life (and how they worked and didn’t work).
[8:30] How do we know when a new opportunity that comes our way is really in alignment with where we want to go?
[9:06] How rules become a framework — and why this is key to living your life in alignment with your values.
[10:34] Changing and creating your rules with the intentions that you set.
[11:06] The rules I am currently living by right now in Q2 of this year.
[11:30] My first rule: your health comes first.
[16:12] My second rule: I’m going to stop selling “me.”
[18:22] My third rule: no work on weekends.
[19:16] My fourth rule: clear your debt by July 1st.
[20:45] My fifth rule: make $10-million decisions and make decisions that relate to your impact goal of reaching 50 million people.
[23:57] Why it is so important to create your own rules so you don’t fall victim to society’s rules.
[25:14] Do you live by rules? What are the rules you live by? What are some of the rules you have chosen to make a priority for yourself over the course of this year? Let us know over on The Entrepology Collective Facebook page.
[26:34] What we will be discussing in future episodes of The Entrepology Podcast!

If this idea of creating a series of rules to live by resonates with you, I encourage you to take the steps to begin putting your own rules into place.
Look at where you want to go, understand the goals that you have in the next year (and the next three years); understand what you want to happen with respect to your health; happiness, and family; and decide whether or not there are a few key rules that you can choose to live by that will change the way you play the game.
Do you live by rules? What are the rules you live by? What are some of the rules you have chosen to make a priority for yourself over the course of this year? Join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker!
Today I am joined by my friend, Dr. Jordan Robertson! Dr. Robertson is the founder of Clarity Health Burlington, the host of the Women’s Health Unplugged Podcast, the curator of the funniest ND memes on her Instagram profile, @DrJordanND.
More than anything, however, Jordan is a critical thinker. She has a capacity to look at complex scientific issues and quickly pull out and discern what is relevant, what is evidence-based, and what we really need to know.
In our conversation, Jordan and I aim to take the elusive concept of “Let’s follow science,” and apply it to our everyday lives. Whether it’s conversations related to the pandemic, everyday headlines, or your particular health concerns, Jordan provides the framework you need in order to be able to think critically for yourself about the health information that is relevant to you vs. what you can leave by the wayside.
As a strong advocate for critical appraisal, Jordan truly goes deep in this episode and shares with us all that we need to know to really look at the evidence that is provided to us and ensure that it is applicable. We talk about women’s health, explore some of the myths that exist in the ecosystem, and how to ask the right questions to get the information that you need to improve the overall quality of your life.
