  • 397. Practitioner Burnout and Identity: How to Stop Over-Identifying With Your Work
    Apr 6 2026

    Recent hikes with my sisters have had me thinking. There's something about getting out on the trails together that strips everything back, and the questions that come up on those walks have been less about business and more about who I actually am outside of it.

    In this episode I'm unpacking something that doesn't get talked about enough in practice circles: what it actually costs you when your job title becomes your whole personality. And what becomes possible when you finally start reclaiming space for the person behind the practitioner.

    This one's worth a listen. Go on, hit play.

    Ready to build a practice that actually fits your life? The Monday Clinical Group and one-to-one mentoring are open. Let's work it out together.

  • 396. Am I Doing Too Much? Finding a Sustainable Pace in Business
    Mar 30 2026

    After a recent hike and some time away, it got me thinking about how easy it is to slip into doing too much, going too fast, and not really pacing things properly.

    The tricky part is it doesn’t always stand out straight away. It tends to show up in small ways, like overthinking decisions, feeling a bit off in sessions, or just not being as present as you’d like to be.

    In this episode, I talk through how that shows up in practice, and how easy it is to just keep pushing without really noticing what it’s doing in the background.

    It’s really just a bit of a reminder to slow things down and pay attention to what’s actually going to work long term.

    If this resonated, make sure you follow the podcast and leave a quick review. It helps more people find it.

  • 395. How to Stop Making Panic Money Decisions in Your Natural Therapy Practice
    Mar 23 2026

    What if clients aren't coming back because of how you're thinking about money, not how good you are at your job?

    End of March already, can you believe it? Here in South Australia we've had the festivals, the heat, the whole circus, and now we're suddenly staring down autumn. It's got me thinking about something a lot of us don't want to look at too closely: are we making money decisions from a calm, grounded place, or are we just winging it and hoping for the best?

    This month we've been getting stuck into pricing, structuring your offers, and building packages. This episode pulls it all together around one cracking question: is fear driving your financial choices, or are you actually in the driver's seat?

    We talk about why even a casual few-clients-a-week practice needs proper intention behind it, how I kept a full diary when my kids were little, and why gifting a free appointment to a client who refers someone is one of the smartest things you can do.

    Have a listen:

    If you're getting something out of the podcast, a five-star review would be lovely. Catch you in the next one!
