Über diesen Titel

 Marketing | Mindset | Growth Gratitude Geek is the podcast for female solopreneurs who are done with burnout, bro-marketing, and BS. Hosted by Kandas Rodarte—small business growth coach, metastatic breast cancer thriver, and relationship marketing expert—this weekly show serves up practical business tips mixed with soulful conversations. It’s where getting real about entrepreneurship meets strategy, systems, and a shot of truth. Whether you’re a coach, creator, healer, marketer, or midlife business badass reinventing yourself, you’ll find tools, stories, and strategies to help you grow your business with grace, not grind. What to expect: ✔️Relationship marketing that feels good (yes, you can ditch the cold DMs and fake funnels) ✔️Time-saving productivity hacks and automation tips designed for female solopreneurs who still want to feel human ✔️Email marketing, podcasting, and storytelling that connect you to clients who get you ✔️Conversations with thought-leaders who are building businesses their way—messy, meaningful, and totally aligned ✔️Real talk on navigating chronic illness, reinvention, resilience, and how to show up in business when life throws curveballs Kandas has been online since the days of dial-up. She's built and sold businesses, coached hundreds of women, and still believes the best marketing strategy is a greeting card and a warm intro. She brings decades of experience—and a don’t-hold-back attitude—to every episode. This is not: 🚫A hustle culture echo chamber 🚫A bro-marketing how-to manual 🚫Another cookie-cutter productivity podcast This is: ✔️Coffee-fueled creativity ✔️Values-driven business growth ✔️The occasional well-placed F-bomb of truth If you believe that connection matters more than conversion rates, that automation should never strip away authenticity, and that your business should serve your life—not the other way around—you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair. Grab your coffee. Let’s get geeky about gratitude, growth, and growing a business that fits your life.

  • Holistic Cancer Recovery Tools Your Doctor Won't Mention | Christie Going

    Holistic Cancer Recovery Tools Your Doctor Won't Mention | Christie Going
    Oct 14 2025
    When you're diagnosed with cancer, your oncologist will tell you about chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. But what about the complementary therapies that could help you manage side effects, reduce pain, and heal more completely? In this revealing conversation, Kandas sits down with licensed massage therapist and reflexologist Christie Going to discuss the holistic modalities that most doctors never mention—not because they don't work, but because they're simply not part of standard oncology training. Christie specializes in breast cancer recovery and shares practical, accessible tools including reflexology (a non-invasive foot therapy that works on all body systems), aromatherapy protocols that actually reduce nausea, and a revolutionary microcurrent device that releases scar tissue adhesions and restores your body's energy flow. This isn't about replacing medical treatment—it's about complementing it with evidence-based practices that can make your journey more bearable and your recovery more complete. Whether you're currently in treatment, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand what options exist beyond conventional care, this episode offers hope, practical guidance, and permission to advocate for your whole-body healing. What You'll Learn 🦶 Why Reflexology Surprises Everyone: Learn about this non-invasive modality that requires no disrobing and works on every system in your body—plus hand points you can use at home for shoulder pain and stress 🏥 The Cancer Care Quality Gap: Kandas shares her shocking experience with three different cancer centers and why the same diagnosis can mean vastly different treatment experiences depending on where you live 👂 The Four Ears Strategy: Why you should never go to a medical appointment alone, plus how to use AI tools like Notebook LM to record, transcribe, and analyze your doctor visits 🌿 Aromatherapy That Actually Works: The specific essential oils and protocols that helped Kandas avoid vomiting during aggressive chemotherapy (hint: it's not just peppermint) ✂️ Scar Work That Changes Lives: Discover the Dolphin Neurostim—an FDA-cleared microcurrent tool that uses acupuncture points to release adhesions, improve range of motion, and reconnect your body's energy pathways ⚡ The Vagus Nerve Secret: How this one cranial nerve affects your entire body and why three simple parasympathetic reset points can provide immediate relief 💪 Intuitive Healing Permission: Christy's empowering message that your body already knows what it needs—you just need to take baby steps and trust yourself 📋 Protocols Your Doctor Won't Know: From lymphatic massage timing to incontinence treatment to C-section scar release, learn what's actually available beyond conventional care Guest Bio Christy Going is a licensed massage therapist, reflexologist, and aromatherapist with 12 years of experience. As the owner of Going Forward Therapies in the greater Houston area, she specializes in helping women heal energetically, emotionally, and physically during breast cancer recovery. After losing her mom's best friend to breast cancer in 2008, Christie became passionate about providing the supportive care that most medical systems overlook. Her mobile practice brings compassionate, skilled holistic care directly to clients throughout West Houston, and she's certified in innovative modalities including the Dolphin Neurostim for pain relief and scar work.

  • I Chose the Harder Surgery & It Saved My Life | Erica Neubert Campbell

    I Chose the Harder Surgery & It Saved My Life | Erica Neubert Campbell
    Oct 7 2025

    What happens when you choose the harder path? Award-winning writer Erica Neubert Campbell shares her transformative breast cancer journey with host Kandas Rodarte in this powerful October breast cancer awareness episode. After watching her mother battle and lose her fight with breast cancer, Erica faced her own diagnosis with hard-won wisdom—choosing a double mastectomy over the easier lumpectomy option. Discover her life-changing nightly gratitude practice (the 5-5-5-3 method), learn how writing just one sentence per day led to publishing a vulnerable book with real surgical photos, and hear the bathroom conversation with a stranger that changed everything. From reframing broken appliances as love reminders to building "horseshoe breasties" communities, Erica proves gratitude isn't a feeling—it's a choice you make every single day, especially during life's hardest moments.
