    209 Q2 Recap, Q3 Projections for 2026: Sabbaticals, Southern Italy, and a Smooth Sailing Sustainable Summer

    Another quarter down… how?! Morgan Sinclair and Hannah Turnbull are back with one of their favorite episodes of the year: the quarterly recap. They get into the nitty-gritty of what was completed (and what absolutely was not), what Q3 looks like across their businesses and personal lives, and the honest, behind-the-scenes reality of running their businesses while also just... trying to have a good summer. Hannah's leaning into what she's calling a Smooth Sailing Sustainable Summer, and Morgan's heading into a semi-sabbatical and is looking forward to a revamp of her entire template studio/service offerings. And for Weight Inclusive Innovators? The Accountability Club would love to have you when we open for Q4!

    208 Should You Have a Signature Framework?

    Have you ever wondered if naming your process, giving it a framework, could help more people find (and trust) your work? You might already have a process you walk every client through, but no name for it. And depending on your personality, naming it might either feel exciting... or a little too sales-bro for you. In this episode, Morgan Sinclair and Hannah Turnbull get into signature frameworks and processes: what they are, unique examples of how they’ve seen folks use frameworks, and how clinicians can think about building their own without making promises they can't keep. It's a marketing strategy conversation, it's an ethics conversation, and somewhere in the middle, you might just realize you've had a framework all along. 14:34 - Morgan's framework idea for her website design business 17:28 - The ridiculous, guaranteed-outcome promises that give bro-y marketing frameworks a bad name 20:10 - What is a framework? Morgan and Hannah define it 21:12 - The benefits of a signature framework 22:40 - Examples of niche signature frameworks to get inspired by 28:33 - B2B vs. B2C frameworks 33:44 - Morgan's process for custom branding and web design 39:54 - How Hannah applies frameworks in her business, NourishED Colorado 43:00 - The ethics of having a framework: how to be compelling without overpromising Resources MentionedBIPOC Eating Disorders Conference8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder Book (framework example)Episode 47 - Collaboration + Building Multiple Offerings with Bri Campos and Amanda MittmanEpisode 122 - What We Wish You Knew About Your Website with Amy HannekeBri Campo’s Body Image Bootcamp (framework example)Cook Your Copy with Amy (framework example)Meagan Rothschild “Kitchen Confidence (framework example) Sponsors & PartnersJoin our Accountability Club - A quarterly membership for accountability and dedicated time to work ON your business (not IN your business) next cohort for Q3 is openGusto - Simplify your employer life with a solid payroll system, use our Gusto affiliate link to receive a $100 Visa gift card after running your first payroll! www.weightinclusiveinnovators.com/resourcesPractice Vital - syncs with leading EHRs to display real-time clinical and operational metrics so owners and supervisors can coach teams, steer performance and make data-driven decisions.

    207 How to Increase Your Business’s Revenue

    When was the last time you raised your fees? Are your clinicians actually seeing the number of clients they should be? There are so many ways to grow your business revenue… some of them underrated. But first, a reframe. Revenue is a neutral part of your business. It's not a judgment of your worth, a pass or fail, or a measure of how hard you're working. It's just information! In this episode, Morgan Sinclair and Hannah Turnbull walk through the many ways to increase your top-line revenue, including the frequently overlooked moves you're probably skipping (hello, fee increases), to the juicier stuff like group sessions, online courses, speaking, or consultations. 11:50 - Revenue vs. profit: what’s the actual difference? 14:51 - Increasing your fees for group practice and one-on-one client services 20:22 - Are your clinicians actually seeing the number of clients you’ve set as the standard? 23:38 - Client retention over new leads 25:02 - Adding other services to increase your business revenue 30:29 - The low-hanging fruit: starting a group 32:29 - Supervision and consultation: a natural next leg for established clinicians who want to grow 33:26 - Online courses, workshops, trainings, and retreats 37:30 - Speaking, writing, and partnerships Resources MentionedShowit Design partnerHow to Deal with Uncertainty (and Stop Overthinking Everything) | Simone StolzoffJoin our Accountability Club- A quarterly membership for accountability and dedicated time to work ON your business (not IN your business) next cohort for Q3 is open Sponsors & PartnersInsurance Billing Tracker- If you’re worried about missed payments and reimbursements, try the Insurance Billing Tracker.

    206 Should You Open a Group Practice in 2026?

    “I have a waitlist… should I hire?” “Is now even a good time to start a group practice?” If these questions have been swirling around in your brain between client sessions, this episode runs through the most important questions to ask yourself when deciding if a group practice is for you. In this episode, Morgan Sinclair and Hannah Turnbull discuss what’s actually different about building a group practice in 2026 (vs 7 years ago)… and what hasn’t changed at all. This conversation is equal parts self-reflection, honesty, and “do I actually want to manage a team?” Settle in, and let’s get honest about what you actually want next. 17:49 - Should I start a group practice in 2026? (Hannah’s hot take) 21:40 - The biggest differences between starting 7 years ago vs today 30:40 - Can having a larger team get you better insurance rates? 34:07 - The most important questions to ask yourself before starting a group practice 39:10 - Playing the long game as a clinician business owner 42:25 - Building a group practice people actually want to work for 44:56 - What is your why behind building a group practice?
