If you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, then you know that I’m just as likely to talk about how your sun sign affects your practice, as much as your marketing strategy does, right?

But today, I thought I’d go a little deeper.  A little more personal.

I thought maybe it was time to share a more with you about the energy side of runnin...

Okay, y’all, today we're digging into a topic we often push aside.

We talk a lot about what it means to build an Ideal Practice(c), attracting perfect clients, doing the work we were called to do... but what happens to all of that – and more importantly, to our clients – if the unexpected happens to us?

In this episode, I’m talking to the amazing Robyn Miller. Robyn is the found...

Well, it's tax time here again in the US, my friend. 💸  So - how are you feeling?

Are you sitting back, cool, calm, and collected because everything's handled? 

Yay you! 😎

Or... are you maybe feeling that familiar knot of stress, scrambling at the last minute, worrying about having the funds to cover what you owe? 😵‍💫

If you're in the second camp, you're not alo...

We talk a lot about hiring help for your business here on the Ideal Practice© podcast, but we haven’t talked yet about getting help for your finances.

So today - as we’re knee deep in tax season 😵‍💫- let’s start with a look at who you need to have on your money team.

Hey there everyone!

Have you ever wondered why some clients light you up 🤩, while others leave you drained 😒? 

That happens because we, as healers, often feel like we can help anybody.  

But that doesn’t mean we should help everybody.  

Here’s the thing … I guarantee you will be better at helping some clients rather than others. And once you see that - and lean into it - amazing thin...

Hey there, folks!

A LOT of my coaching clients really struggle around social media and marketing.

They  feel like they need to show up constantly… They worry about how to show up and what to post.  And that doesn’t begin to cover the challenge of where they should be…

Instagram? Facebook? LinkedIn? TikTok? … or ALL of the above?

Oy. It’s enough to make your head spin.
