In this episode of Give Yourself Grace, Grace sits down with Nicole Ritter, a functional medicine practitioner and entrepreneur who broke free from the traditional path to create a life rooted in wellness, resilience, and self-empowerment. Nicole shares how functional medicine became the foundation for her work and why prioritizing health is essential for entrepreneurs striving for long-term success.

Their conversation explores the importance of setting strong boundaries, trusting your instincts, and building the grit needed to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Nicole offers wisdom on redefining success, the power of taking ownership of your path, and why embracing your unique journey is the key to lasting fulfillment.

Here are some key takeaways:

• Prioritize your health. A strong foundation is essential for sustainable success.
• Trust your instincts. Your inner voice often knows the next right step before your mind does.
• Set clear boundaries. Protect your energy so you can pour into what truly matters.
• Build resilience. Success isn’t about avoiding hard moments—it's about learning to rise through them.
• Own your journey. Your story, with all its twists and turns, is preparing you for greatness.
• Focus on the root cause. True transformation—whether in health or business—comes from going deeper, not treating surface symptoms.
• Believe in your ability to figure it out. Self-empowerment is built one decision at a time.
• Redefine success on your terms. It’s not about comparison—it's about alignment.
• Surround yourself with people who encourage your growth and remind you of your potential.
• Keep showing up. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a win.
