DOING THINGS YOUR WAY: The HEART of an IDEAL PRACTICE | IP 172

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling exhausted, under-appreciated, and wondering if private practice is really worth it, this episode is for you.

In this replay of one of our classics, I’m going back to one of the very first conversations we ever had on the podcast: what an Ideal Practice actually is, and why giving yourself permission to do things your way changes everything.

We’ll talk about how most of us slide into a “default” practice that fits everyone but us—and what it looks like to turn that around with a few honest, clarifying questions.

Yeah. This is going to help you. :))

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why developing your practice “by default” leaves you tired, resentful, and broke—and how to transition to something way better..
2. The core mindset shift behind an Ideal Practice: you have both the freedom and the responsibility to design it. (You may like this and you may not, lol.)
3. Five clarifying questions that help you get clear on who you serve, the kind of work that lights you up, and how you actually want to work. (So many choices. I know!)
4. Real-life examples of healers who changed their schedules, adapted their services, and even learned to set better money boundaries so their practices just FIT them better. 
5. A simple reflection exercise you can do this week to celebrate what’s already working — and begin changing what isn’t.

And you’ll hear some of my favorite truths from this early episode, like:

• “We own it all, y’all.” 😉
• “Do things your way. That doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you happy.” (Am I right???!)
• The five most important words you will say in your business…. And more. 

All of this so that you can start designing a practice that pays an honorable rate, reflects the good you do in the world, and actually feels like it was built for you.

If this episode stirs something up for you, set aside 30 minutes this week, grab a notebook, and walk yourself through the five clarifying questions I share. Notice what already feels ideal—and what absolutely doesn’t. Then choose one small change you’re willing to make next.

When you do, I’d love to hear about it. Tag me on social or send me a quick note and tell me what you’re changing in your practice next.
