Hi. My name is Donna Becker.
I am an Chinese medicine energy practitioner. specifically a Medical Qigong practitioner.
Most of my work is done remotely.
I connect with my clients' energy . . . the energy of their organs, tissues, their meridians, acupuncture points, energetic trauma impact points on their time line, which are at the root of their current health issue.
I also teach Pangu Shengong, a form of qigong, which is a very powerful for cultivating Lifeforce energy for healing and daily living.
I've started this work in 2018. Since beginning to study with George in summer of 2022 I have gotten more clarity about what I want to offer and to whom. Sometimes with more clarity comes more questions.
My clients are diverse
- anyone struggling with an emotional / mental / physical health issue
- those with physical / emotional issues rooted in past trauma (often they are unaware of the connection)
- an acute or chronic injury or infection
- Those with any other wellness issue - fatigue, digestion, sleep, irritability, memory, etc.
- relationship issues - current one or in their family of origin
- or those with a serious condition even if believed to be life threatening, chronic and something that they 'have to live with'.
- pets or other animals with any of the above
When I am not working,
I love nature, cooking, gardening, and spending time deeply connecting with friends, family and colleagues.
My entrepreneur challenges are many.
Time management is a big challenge for me. George teaches so many wonderful strategies for bringing ease and joy into our running our business. I have implemented many of them and am still working on others.
I would love to make connections with others for
- regular coworking sessions. It helps to keep me in my seat and focused.
- brainstorming about launches & offers
- possible referral partners and other collaborations
- to learn about each other and cheer each other on. 🤩
I am looking forward to meeting & supporting others in the community and helping them to be inspired.

Hello!
After getting George's support on figuring out how to launch, I wrote a post to use as my launch post in November. I was actually inspired to create a slightly different package for this, but I don't know that it matters that I go into detail in this post. I'd love to hear thoughts on that, and on the post as a whole:
Where did November come from? I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to be heading full tilt into the holidays, but here we are.
The next question is is your pet ready for the holidays, too?
In the midst of all of the to dos, grocery trips, food planning, vacation preparations, and gift buying, is your pet prepared, too?
In times of high stress and activity, it is important to remember that our pets live in whatever energy that is happening to us. But they have no ability to take a break from it or make a change. They don’t get to take a vacation from us :)
I know this can seem like one. more. thing. to add to your plate in the middle of the busiest season of the year, but the consequences of not supporting your pet can include all sorts of things that are not desirable… like chewing of shoes, peeing outside the litter box, or emotional outbursts.
If you have too much on your plate right now and it feels unmanageable, this is where animal communication work can help support you and your pet through tough times.
Having a session can help to get you and your pet on the same page and prepared for the challenging times to come.
I’ve got a special package designed to support you and your pet through the holidaze ahead so that you and your pet can find the joy in the season together.

I love this. It is so timely. I have a hard time with acting in a timely speed. If i had a nervous pet, your offer would catch my attention. Maybe add something about stress management may often involve being proactive . . . to help things go smoothly for your pet so you do not have even more stress dealing with their behaviors.
So much clarity on what I need to be doing
So much clarity on what I need to be doing
Looking back on my day I would say today was nothing short of amazing how this was made so clear!
The seed was sown yesterday in Authentic Speaking class when we were to think about our signature story.
I shared with George & others in the chat a bit about my dilemma, that my life experience involves childhood trauma with divorced childlike parents , a narcistic mother (who is now 90, and reads my stuff on Facebook), issues with my marriage relating to us both being raised in a difficult homes and both having had PTSD, and raising 3 kids with sensory processing issues (parenting children on the autistic spectrum).
The dilemma: Whose story do i share on a public forum without hurting those i l feel compassion & love towards?
So fast forward to this morning . . . . I was helping a friend who is a young mother with a 4 yr old, a newborn infant and 2 yr old stepson with emotional and behavior issues. I sent her lots of old documents on my computer on how to help understand and calm a child with a self regulation problem. Sometimes we forget our expertises.
Later today I met with my JoyPro buddy and we talked about an offering I had created but never released about how to help parents and families on the spectrum, or parents suffering with their own childhood trauma, or in the worst case, both. Apparently that struck a cord with her and she feels I should get that out there because she wished she had found someone like me when she needed it.
I attended George's free webinar today. I realized it is time to suck it up and do my business planning and get those offers out there. I think I have been working way too lightly.
Then,my youngest son came home from work, and began to tell me he was always uncomfortable with Halloween and remembered one that was particularly difficult. It reminded me of a story of my other son when he was four, being afraid of the librarian's witch hat and refusing to go to storytime.
That's a lot on the same topic! Like a brick hitting me over the head I'd say.
I decided to ask my kids if I can share stories form their childhood.
2/3 of my kids said "sure.
They're age 27, 29 and 32 years. I never thought until today to ask them if they care at this point.
I feel like this is all pointing in a good direction where I can align my passions with what my potential client is hungry for. A lot to celebrate!

@Donna Becker Thank you for sharing! How do you deal about your mother or someone else reading along? I also wonder about some stories that might hurt the one reading or be an offense.

@Yvette Berg - van Groeningen
Well for the most part I havent dealt with it. It would certainly help to be able to because it shows readers how much I understand other peoples journeys and suffering.
I havent posted what I think would hurt others with exception of once accidentally.
There was one interview that a colleague did with me where I spoke about what it is like to be raised by someone with their own childhood trauma.
I was being naive. I didnt post it on my FB page but the interviewer did and she had tagged me in it. So of course my mother saw it - and was not happy.
Ironically, not because I was talking about her business and sharing her trauma without permission. I could have agreed with that being wrong to be honest.
But she didnt agree that being left in a camp at age 6, not able to speak English, and not having her sibling or parents with her, qualifies as having had trauma.
Anyway I was upset that she saw it and felt bad.
I think the way around this is to just tell the story as if it happened to your reader or a friend. More like a case study that would help others to understand the problem/ dilemma, and what could have been done differently.
There was a recent wild conversation with my Aunt that would make for an interesting story about how not to show up for a conversation/ conflict with someone you care about without hurting the relationship.

My last 3 years income
Here's my monthly income from last 3 years.
Do you see a pattern too?
Whenever I'd have a high income month, it'd be followed by a low income month.
After this happened a lot of times since I started my coaching business... I finally recognised the pattern and worked on understanding it.
Turns out, I have a deep rooted fear of success.
I'm afraid if I fully step into my light, it may make people blind.
I'm afraid if I fully own my fire, it may make people burn.
When I write them so clearly, they sound silly.
These fears are just mind's games - they aren't real.
It's time I free myself from these fears.
They are literally killing my business momentum 😢
That's what I'm currently working on: expansion and moving beyond this fear of success.
I affirm: My success brings more goodness to people around me.
Sustaining good months for last few months... and onto finishing 2024 on a high note 🤠
Wish me luck 💜

@Dipanshu Rawal I'd love a conversation about it. I want to understand it better. I am convinced at times in our business we get stuck because we do not have a good energetic relationship with our future selves. Or we are stuck in the energy of dealing with our past selves.
Kind of like regret gets in the way of hope and moving forward with faith in the future. Would you like to explore this with me in a chat?

I've been recording an irregular podcast since March 2021, and I have 59 episodes so far. Some of them are blog posts that I just read and post as-is, and most episodes are interviews with people I find interesting that are at least tangentially connected to my niche and whom I know will be sharing insight that my audience will (probably) enjoy. For the most part, really, I do it because I enjoy it, I love having this opportunity for deep conversation with my guests. I'm a former academic researcher with lots of interview experience, and worked on radio as well, and it's always been my favorite medium. As a nice aside, the podcast also serves as outreach, as my guests share the podcast episode with their audience. I have a mix of guests, some of whom have bigger audiences than me, and others with smaller audiences, and I'm happy to help them spread their message. I'm getting pitches from PR agents/publishers on a regular basis now, too. For the past two years or so, I've been recording video and posting that part to YouTube as well.
My business podcast is hosted on Podbean and I'm happy to pay the $100 or so per year for hosting. I have a separate podcast-for-fun project that I now host on Substack because it's free with zero monetization plan. I've enjoyed every minute of work on it, but it's really been a hobby so I didn't want to have to pay to keep that one available for downloads.

@Brigitte Gemme Thank you for sharing your experience and enthusiasm for interviewing and creating podcasts. Not sure what I will be doing but it would be cool if I tried it and enjoyed doing it.

I have created two podcasts. The first was a place to share my Wild Creation Stories, started in 2019 (I think) and it's since been "retired" as I'm not adding to it.
The second podcast is Wildspire, my conversations with inspiring entrepreneurs, alternating with short reflective episodes from me. This one is still active, though I'm slow in releasing them (especially when I've been traveling!) It's not monetized and I don't directly get any clients from it.
They were both fun and I don't recall any tech issues in putting them out. Of course, I'm more on the "just get it done good enough" side, so it doesn't bother me if things aren't perfect. Wildspire has been a great way to connect with people and have enjoyable conversations. (George was a guest before I joined ABC, by the way.)
Rather than "starting a podcast," why not do 10 episodes? Then you can decide if you want to "have a podcast" as a regular thing. It's what I did in the beginning and it allowed me to release a bunch in rapid succession, getting ahead of the game if I wanted to publish episodes regularly. I didn't follow any of the best practices or do much research. I started with zoom recordings and let that be enough. 🤗
I hope this is helpful and wish you much joy on your podcasting (or not) journey! 🙏

@Stephanie Benedetto Thanks Stephanie. Good suggestion, to start with 10 episodes and see how it feels.

Consistent Time & Place
"I wish I could record videos with my laptop, but often when I'm inspired, I'm not near my laptop..." Inspiration is good, but consistency is required for the practice of authentic speaking. For most of us, inspiration is not sustainable for practice. In part because you'll often get discouraged if your inspiration isn't reciprocated by your audience's engagement. For sustained practice, see it as a sustained practice! How then to relate to inspiration? I would recommend habituating the writing down of ideas whenever inspiration comes... but then dedicate yourself to a consistent time/place when you record videos. During your planned time/place for making videos, take out those ideas you wrote down, and pick one that inspires you in that moment :)
Sometimes, I don't know what to talk about, what topic can I speak about. It is like I say to myself, "You have nothing to share or you are not an expert really of anything, so why should someone else listen to you?" When a friend starts to ask me questions and I answer with excitement, then I realize, well maybe I do have something to say. Wow, exploring this feeling could be a topic too !

@Cynthia Raskin This happens to me too. Today I had a meeting with a colleague and spent 20 minutes talking about what I do. And she asked if I offer workshops. I never thought I had much to say. So we just need to create our idea list when we are excited I guess.
