    What Happens When You Hide Parts of Yourself in Business: Ep 87

    How much of you are you really bringing to your business? In this episode, Cass explores a question so many practitioners, coaches, and healers quietly wrestle with: What happens when you hide parts of yourself in order to look “professional”? From intuition and spirituality, to energy work and innate knowing, many business owners downplay their gifts. But what if hiding your “woo” is actually the very thing blocking your growth? In this candid, grounded conversation, Cass unpacks the real cost of playing small; from attracting misaligned clients to feeling disconnected, inauthentic, or stuck in your business. She shares personal stories, client examples, and a powerful reframe that turns your hidden gifts into your greatest brand advantage. Inside this episode, you’ll explore:  Why hiding parts of yourself dilutes your message and magnetism How your intuition, sensitivity, and spiritual gifts create differentiation The difference between professionalism and self-suppression Why strategy and spirituality are not opposites — they’re partners How authenticity cuts through the noise in a world of AI-generated contentThis episode is an invitation to stop compartmentalising who you are, and start building a business that reflects your full truth. Because the clients meant for you can’t find you — if they can’t see you. 🔗 Connect with Cass & explore mentoring:  https://cassduffill.com Let's Chat - Send an instant message now Free Resource: Attract Amazing Clients Join the FREE GROUP - Wellness Biz Growth Hub Subscribe to my YouTube channel: Live Your Passion, Grow Your Practice Visit my website www.cassduffill.com

    How to Hold More Without Burning Out: Ep 87

    You don’t need to hustle harder to expand, you just need to increase your capacity to hold more. In this episode, Cassandra dives deep into what’s really behind burnout and why every big leap in business can trigger exhaustion, crashes, or those post-success “hangovers” that leave you drained and doubting everything. You’ll learn how your nervous system is actually the container for your abundance, and how trying to grow from dysregulation leads to sabotage, resentment, and resistance. Cass shares her personal journey with business burnout, what it taught her about capacity, and how she rebuilt her energy to create sustainable expansion; without losing her spark or her sanity. Inside this episode: Why burnout often follows big months or launchesThe real reason your income or visibility are limitedWhat's keeping you stuck in hustle modeWhy you need to “regulate before you accelerate”Practical ways to expand your energetic capacity This isn’t about slowing down your ambition, it’s about creating a business your body can actually sustain.  Because real success doesn’t come from pushing harder… it comes from holding more with ease. If you’re ready to grow your business without burnout, this episode is your reset point. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode:  – The Abundant Healer book, author Cassandra Duffill (launching March 3 2026) – Connect with Cass: cassduffill.com – Follow on Instagram: @cassduffill Let's Chat - Send an instant message now Free Resource: Attract Amazing Clients Join the FREE GROUP - Wellness Biz Growth Hub Subscribe to my YouTube channel: Live Your Passion, Grow Your Practice Visit my website www.cassduffill.com

    Why Alignment Is the New Strategy: Ep 85

    For years, we’ve been told to “follow the strategy.” Funnels. Blueprints. Algorithms. Hustle harder.  But what if that’s exactly what’s been holding you back? In this episode, Cass flips the old paradigm on its head and dives deep into why alignment, not just strategy, is the real secret to sustainable success. She shares how chasing strategy-first approaches can disconnect you from your energy, your purpose, and your joy… and what happens when you finally build a business that feels as good as it looks. You’ll hear how Cass restructured her entire business after burnout (twice!), why “light vs. heavy” is now her favourite decision-making filter, and how you can start designing your business to match your natural rhythm; not from someone else’s formula. If you’re craving ease, flow, and results that don’t cost your peace, this is your permission slip to lead differently. In this episode: ✨ Why the old “strategy-first” model burns out heart-led entrepreneurs ✨ How to recognize when your business is out of alignment ✨ The invisible walls of resistance (and what they’re really showing you) ✨ What it looks like to choose frequency first and framework second ✨ How to create success that actually feels good Want to join the free group mentioned in the episode?

    In this empowering episode, Cass Duffill busts one of the biggest myths in business: that you need everything “figured out” before you start.
