Unboxing

🎙 EPISODE TITLE: UNBOXING…

🧩 SEASON THEME: WHO’S THERE?

This season explores the moments when life comes knocking, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, and asks what we’re willing to open… and what we’d rather keep sealed. Who’s There? is about answering the door to truth, growth, and the unexpected.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

What happens when success looks perfect on the outside… but the real work is happening beneath the surface?

This week, we step into the story of Monica McKitterick, family nurse practitioner turned CEO, author, and bold entrepreneur. Monica didn’t just climb the healthcare ladder… she rebuilt it. From the ground up, she created Impact Family Wellness, a multi-million-dollar Direct Primary Care clinic in Texas, proving that grit and vision can rewrite the rules.

After winning a nationally televised business competition and appearing on The Blox Season 18, Monica doubled down on her mission, launching The DPC Formula to help other providers build thriving, independent clinics.

But this conversation goes deeper than business wins.

We start with the simple act of unboxing everyday items… and quickly discover the harder things we all carry: unworthiness, self-doubt, loneliness, heartbreak, and the quiet battle for joy. Monica brings honesty, clarity, and just enough Duke-grad confidence to keep things interesting inside the Shoe Shack.

Her story is about redefining success on your own terms… and learning which voices are actually worth listening to.
