“I’m the girl with 26 years of education that never raised her hand in class. Having all eyes on me just wasn’t comfortable.” – Dr. Ann Shippy

COVID-19 has changed many parts of our lives, but what are we going to do moving forward so we can continue to thrive?

In this episode, we discuss this with Dr. Ann Shippy, but we also take a deeper look at her “Power Of The Only” story and how she was able to break through her fear of being seen to have a larger impact.

Dr. Shippy is a Functional Medicine physician, scientist, engineer, Ted X speaker, and one of my VIP YOU, Amplified!® clients.  She uses cutting-edge science to find and treat the root causes of illnesses, not just the symptoms. When we first started working together, she was already the author of several books and a go-to health expert for print publications from Forbes and Good HouseKeeping to Mind Body Green, but she hadn’t been on camera before.

Dr. Shippy was being offered opportunity after opportunity but kept saying that she wasn’t ready. Finally one day she realized that her message was more important than her fear — and that recognition unlocked the key to even more opportunities and ways to serve and make an impact. Now she is a Ted X speaker, comfortable on-camera for her own videos, and is regularly featured on TV and several top podcasts, and will soon be hosting her own podcast.
