I'm Leveling Up — Here's Where to Find Me

If you've been listening here for a while, thank you. This episode is a short but important one — and if you're an entrepreneur, I think you'll want to hear it. I recently discovered I had duplicate podcast feeds running at the same time. Two versions of the same show, splitting my audience and confusing the algorithm — and I had no idea it was happening. I was so focused on showing up and delivering content that I hadn't stopped to look at the infrastructure underneath. Sound familiar? In this episode I talk about why auditing your business backend matters just as much as showing up consistently — and why cleaning things up is not a step backward. It's how you grow. Here's where to find me: 🎧 Spotify — Grow a Thriving Practice with Jillian Faldmo 🎧 Apple Podcasts — Grow a Thriving Practice with Jillian Faldmo 🌿 Every other app — come listen at jillianfaldmo.com Follow or subscribe on your platform of choice right now so you don't miss what's coming.

177. Why We Self-Sabotage Just When Things Get Good

Have you ever noticed that just when things start going really well — opportunities open up, momentum builds, results start coming in — something inside you starts to pull back? You cancel a client. You get sick. You tell yourself it won't last. That's not weakness. That's capacity. And in this episode, we're talking about how to expand it. In this episode: The balloon analogy that explains exactly why success can feel so uncomfortable What's actually happening in your body when things start going well — and why your nervous system responds like it's a threat The two most common ways we unconsciously sabotage ourselves just when things get good A simple three-step practice — Pause, Allow, Embody — to help you stretch into the success you've been working so hard to build Why it is safe to be successful and live into your greatest potential The framework from this episode: Pause — let yourself actually feel what's coming up Allow — notice where it lives in your body and soften the edges of it Embody — let the success land This is the work. Not just the strategy and the action steps — but expanding your capacity to receive and hold the success you're building. Ready to go deeper?

176. Why Talking About Your Work Feels So Hard

In this episode, I explore what’s really underneath the thought: “I don’t want to be salesy.” For many wellness practitioners, talking about their work isn’t just a strategy—it feels personal. Visibility can bring up fears of being misunderstood, rejected, or not chosen, which makes it hard to show up consistently. But what if marketing isn’t about selling at all? In this episode, I offer a more aligned way to think about visibility—one that feels grounded, supportive, and true to who you are. ✨ In this episode, we explore: Why talking about your work can feel so vulnerable What’s actually underneath the fear of being “salesy” A simple reframe that makes marketing feel more natural How to approach visibility from a place of service If you’re ready to talk about your work with more clarity and confidence—without feeling pushy—this episode will support you. 👉 Learn more about working together inside Grow a Thriving Practice : jillianfaldmo.com/workwithme

175. Burnout and Coming Back to Foundations

In this episode, I’m speaking to the practitioners who are fully booked… and completely burnt out. If you love your work but feel exhausted, overextended, or like you’ve hit a wall, this episode is for you. I share a personal story from late last year when I found myself burnt out with a full schedule—teaching, coaching, and seeing clients—with no space left to create what was next. Instead of walking away from my work, I made intentional changes to my business foundations : I restructured my schedule Created a dedicated “creation day” Raised my prices And redefined how I wanted my practice to feel Burnout isn’t always a sign that you’re in the wrong line of work. Sometimes it’s a sign that your business no longer fits who you’ve become. ✨ In this episode, I cover: The difference between being fully booked vs. sustainably booked Why burnout is often a structural issue, not a personal failure How to reassess your ideal schedule, clients, and income What it looks like to evolve your business as you grow If you’re ready to rebuild your practice in a way that supports your energy and your life, this is the work we do inside Grow a Thriving Practice : 👉 jillianfaldmo.com/workwithme

174. The Two Roles in Your Practice

In this episode, I explore the two roles every wellness practitioner holds in their business: the practitioner and the entrepreneur . Most trainings teach us how to work on people, but very few teach what it takes to run a thriving practice . And the truth is, if the entrepreneur doesn’t create clients and build systems, the practitioner has no one to serve. I also connect this concept to the 5 Phases of Growth framework I introduced in Episode 172 — Cultivate, Nourish, Root, Bloom, and Harvest — and explain why the entrepreneur role is especially important in the Root phase , where we build the structure and systems that support sustainable growth.

173. Why an Online Scheduler is Foundational

In this episode, we’re focusing on the Root phase of growing a thriving practice — your systems and foundation. I share why an online scheduler is one of the most important structural tools you can implement, and how it supports: Easy client booking Automated confirmations and reminders Follow-up and review requests Package and gift certificate sales Clear scheduling boundaries Root is about creating containers that hold your growth.

172. The 5 Phases of Growth

In this episode, I’m introducing the framework that guides everything I teach inside my membership: The 5 Phases of Growth in building a thriving practice. Growing a business isn’t linear. It’s cyclical. It’s seasonal. It’s much more like tending a garden than climbing a ladder. The five phases are: 🌱 Cultivate – mindset and belief work 🌿 Nourish – building capacity and resilience 🌳 Root – creating strong systems and foundations 🌸 Bloom – visibility and expression 🍎 Harvest – receiving, celebrating, and sustaining growth Inside Grow a Thriving Practice , I walk members through these phases intentionally and repeatedly. Because sometimes when you think you need more strategy, what you really need is stronger roots. Sometimes when you’re pushing visibility, you need to come back and nourish your nervous system. And sometimes when you’re building systems, you need to cultivate new beliefs. Growth isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about tending wisely. In this episode, I break down each phase and explain how they work together to create a sustainable, aligned, and resilient business. If you’re ready to grow your practice intentionally; with structure, support, and a framework that actually makes sense, you can join us inside Grow a Thriving Practice here: 👉 jillianfaldmo.com/workwithme This is where we do the work together.

171. Mindset Over Strategy [From the Archives]

This week, I’m bringing back a powerful episode from the archives— Episode 84: Mindset Over Strategy . I recorded this episode three years ago, and the truth is… the message is just as relevant today as it was then. One of the biggest misconceptions I see in wellness entrepreneurship is the belief that success comes from finding the perfect strategy. In reality, a thriving practice is only about 10% strategy . The other 90% is mindset —how you think, what you believe, and how you show up behind the strategy you’re using. In this episode, I break down the mindset shifts that helped me grow to a six-figure practice and the beliefs I had to release in order to get there. Because even the best strategy won’t work if you’re not energetically behind it. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: The mindset I embraced to grow a six-figure practice The beliefs I used to hold that kept me stuck Why strategy alone won’t get you the results you want How getting energetically behind your strategy changes everything If you’ve been searching for the “right” strategy but still not seeing the results you want, this episode will help you refocus on the inner work that actually drives sustainable growth. Tune in to Episode 84: Mindset Over Strategy and notice what still resonates—because mindset is timeless.

170. When You Feel Scattered, Try This

In this episode, I’m talking about what to do when you feel scattered. For many healer entrepreneurs, feeling scattered can trigger self-judgment or the urge to push harder. But scatteredness is information. It’s often a sign that you’re in transition, integrating growth, or holding more than your current structures can support. In this episode, I walk you through a grounded, practical approach to finding clarity again without forcing focus or overloading yourself with more input. ✨ In this episode, I cover: Why feeling scattered isn’t a motivation or mindset problem How scatteredness points to a lack of containment, not capability What to do before you try to make decisions Simple steps to ground, externalize, and re-establish clarity How structure and support help focus return naturally This episode is an invitation to slow down, create safety, and let clarity land without pressure or self-criticism.

169. Lessons in Presence with Dr. Ginger Davis

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ginger Davis, an energy healing practitioner with a background of over 20 years of veterinary medicine Ginger and I have an honest, grounded conversation about her journey from over-functioning in her practice to becoming more present, regulated, and intentional in how she works with both animals and people. We talk about what it really takes to create safety in a healing practice—not just energetically, but through clear structure and container. We also explore what it’s like to move through fear, uncertainty, and confusion when you’re evolving professionally and personally, and how those moments can become gateways for deeper embodiment and trust. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they were doing too much, holding too much, or trying to prove their value—especially in caregiving and healing professions. ✨ In this episode, we discuss: Ginger’s transition from traditional veterinary medicine to energy healing The pattern of over-functioning and how it shows up in helping professions Why presence—not effort—is what actually creates safety The importance of structure and clear containers in healing work How to move through fear and confusion during seasons of growth and change You can learn more about Dr. Ginger Davis and her work at drgingerdavis.com .
