The Scaling Wellness Podcast

Hey, DJ here—and today, we’re talking about something real. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t have the time” or “I can’t afford to grow my business right now,” this episode is especially for you. I know what it’s like to feel stretched thin—emotionally, financially, and mentally. But here’s the truth: building a successful wellness business doesn’t always start with having more time or money. It starts with shifting how you think, plan, and prioritize. In this episode, I’ll show you how to move forward—even when your resources feel limited. We’ll unpack: Why “no time” and “no money” aren’t the real problem (and what is) What you can do right now with the energy, capacity, and budget you already have The low-effort, high-impact strategies my clients use to grow even during their busiest, most cash-strapped seasons And how taking imperfect action today can unlock momentum for tomorrow So if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to grow your business… this is your wake-up call. You don’t need more to get started—you just need a better plan. Let’s get into it. 🎧   ----------------------------------------------   Want to build a wellness practice that gives you both TIME and MONEY?
