Are you a seasoned healthcare professional or entrepreneur feeling stuck and self-conscious about making the leap to online business, or even just showing up on camera? You're not alone. Many women, especially those over 40, find themselves held back by fear of visibility, worries about appearance, and that perfectionist voice in their heads saying they’re not ready yet. In this episode, with Host Suzy Wraines, guest Christine Brunelli, a chiropractor, turned image strategist and visibility coach, shares her own bumpy journey from brick-and-mortar healthcare and beauty salons to confidently showing up on camera and thriving online.
Christine opens up about the anxiety of her very first Instagram Live (and how a 3-minute "train wreck" video landed her a $2,000 client!). She tackles the mental blocks around image, self-worth, and camera presence that keep so many brilliant professionals from sharing their expertise. Plus, Christine offers straightforward, actionable tips, from simple camera-ready beauty hacks to mindset shifts, that will help you step out from behind the scenes and connect with your audience authentically and powerfully.
If putting yourself on video feels intimidating, or you’re caught between knowing your stuff and actually being seen, this episode is your permission slip to show up as your best self (not a perfect one!). Tune in, get inspired, and discover how embracing authenticity and a few tricks of the trade can transform your business and your confidence!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
