S5 E13 - Connecting Purpose & Profit in Public Health

In this episode of the Public Health Joy Podcast, Dr. Joyee sits down with her friend, coach, and sister in faith, Reesi Wilson. As a funnel strategist, master copywriter, and profitability coach for women entrepreneurs, she joins Dr. Joyee for a raw, full-circle conversation about the journey it took to get here.   They're tracing the story back to where it started: Dr. Joyee burnt out, underpricing herself, and still operating on academic time long after she'd left academia. Reesi walks us through the years, the pivot, the burnout, the boundaries, the trip to Mexico that cracked everything open, the summit that was born from a dream, and the "wilderness season" that followed when obedience didn't come with an immediate reward.   They get into it: what happens when you do everything "right" and the harvest still doesn't come right away? What does it look like to keep your faith at the center of your business, even when nobody teaches you how to market that? And how do you know when a hard season is actually a restoration season in disguise?   Reesi gets personal by discussing praying and fasting alongside Dr. Joyee through the hardest stretches, and reminding her that our actions always reveal what we truly believe.   This episode is a masterclass in burnout recovery, faith-fueled entrepreneurship, and trusting the process even when the outcome isn't instant.   If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to build a thriving business without leaving your faith at the door, this episode is for you. **Key Points** - Faith and entrepreneurship \[32:03 – 35:10] - Overcoming burnout and scarcity mindset \[12:13 – 17:07] - Building impactful public health programs \[25:23 – 30:57] - The role of rest and reflection in success \[20:16 – 25:22] - Integrating faith into professional life \[08:12 – 09:08] If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review!
