She also created a second business, Prosper Nutrition Coaching, to train the next generation of coaches to teach healthy habits in a shame-free way.Whether you’re a leader looking for systems to scale, a coach building a purpose-driven business, or someone searching for strength after struggle, this episode delivers heart, insight, and hope.Chapters:<ul><li>00:00:00 – Welcome to Your Weekly Dose of Optimism</li><li>00:00:39 – Meet Jen Broxterman: Beating the Odds, Changing Lives</li><li>00:01:23 – Fueling Passion: Why Nutrition Chose Jen</li><li>00:03:22 – The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything</li><li>00:05:06 – Facing Cancer with Courage and Purpose</li><li>00:11:08 – How Forgiveness Helped Save Her Life</li><li>00:15:45 – Radical Remission: The Healing Blueprint</li><li>00:18:45 – The “Healing List” That Transformed Jen’s Health</li><li>00:19:21 – Jen’s Daily Non-Negotiables for Wellness</li><li>00:20:00 – Breaking Free from Sugar and Shame</li><li>00:23:08 – Mastering the Three Circles of Control</li><li>00:27:34 – Why Kind Nerds Make the Best Coaches</li><li>00:30:05 – Game-Changing Free Tools for Nutrition Leaders</li><li>00:32:10 – Jen’s Final Wisdom Bombs You’ll Want to Hear</li></ul> Links And Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.prospernutritioncoaching.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prosper Nutrition Coaching</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nutritionrx.ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NutritionRx</a></li><li><a href="https://www.precisionnutrition.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Precision Nutrition</a></li><li>Jen on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-broxterman/?originalSubdomain=ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></li><li>Jen on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jen_broxterman_rd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul> Thanks so much for joining us this week.
