In a world of automation and AI, why are the most successful health practitioners going back to handwritten thank-you notes and personal storytelling to connect with their audience? In this episode of the Health and Wellness Marketing Show, Uli Iserloh sits down with award-winning branding and copywriting expert Marisa Shadrick to explore how to create genuine human connection through written communication. As a former ministry leader turned international speech champion and copywriter, Marisa reveals the psychology behind why stories release endorphins and create emotional bonds that facts and features simply cannot.  From overcoming her own insecurities to becoming one of the top 100 speakers in the world, she shares the tactical frameworks that help health practitioners turn their knowledge into compelling copy that converts prospects into patients. If you're a health practitioner struggling to communicate your value online, tired of being invisible in a crowded marketplace, or wondering how to create the same connection through copy that you have in face-to-face conversations, this episode provides the missing piece to transform your marketing from forgettable to unforgettable.

Listen To Learn:
  • Discover why human-to-human connection has become more crucial than ever in our automated world and how to bridge the gap between technology and authentic communication.
  • Learn the power of narrative writing and how stories release endorphins that create emotional engagement, making it nearly impossible for prospects to argue with your message.
  • Understand the two types of stories that impact your copy: the story you tell yourself (confidence and mindset) and the story your audience is living (their current challenges and needs).
  • Explore three tactical copywriting techniques: making every word earn its place, using dialogue instead of just quotes, and finding your real hook buried in the second or third paragraph.
  • Find out how to overcome objections by addressing four different personality types and their specific concerns within your copy.
Quotes to Remember:
  • "In the world of automations and bots and tools, we've lost something. We've lost that human to human connection." (02:15 | Marisa Shadrick)
  • "People can argue with an opinion, assertion or claim, but it's pretty hard to argue with a story." (08:30 | Marisa Shadrick)
  • "Every piece of communication is ultimately going to serve someone, so how can we serve them well? When I took myself out of the equation, that's when I started seeing changes in my writing." (13:04 | Marisa Shadrick)
  • "Less is more. Every word needs to earn its right to be on that piece of communication." (18:15 | Marisa Shadrick)
  • "If you can change someone's life one person today, wouldn't that make it worth it? We can compound that by being more strategic in the way we communicate." (29:20 | Marisa Shadrick)

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
