episode 89: trusting your own recipe for success with McKel Hill Kooienga
Why she’s amazing:
McKel is the Founder and CEO of Nutrition Stripped, a trailblazing mind-body health company that supports the wellbeing of people around the world.
Through her award-winning website and award-nominated social media that reach millions, online programs that have helped thousands take care of their health, a cookbook, and a community in 189 countries, she guides people to design an intuitive way of eating, living, and connecting with their inner health.
She holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition from Ohio State University and is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist.
So, I have been a huge fan of McKel for years. In fact, when I was a health coach, I would send my clients to her website for healthy recipes all the time. And I couldn’t help falling in love with her brand aesthetic which is just beautiful.
It was so much fun to chat with her, and as you’ll hear, she is an angel of a human.
In our conversation, she shares:
- What it was like at the very beginning of her journey to create Nutrition Stripped and how it went from passion project to full time business
- Why she has always made it a priority to understand what her audience wants and then uses that to inspire the content of her programs and products
-
Why her intuition has played and continues to play a leading role in all of her business decisions, how that’s contributed to her growth, and why she highly recommends learning to trust your instincts too
-
The key steps she took along the way to build an award-winning wellness platform, grow a social media following of over 300,000, and land lots of press in 7 years
-
Why she says believing in yourself is so important, and that by seeing ourselves clearly, we have the power to manifest what we want
-
And so much more!
