    196. You're Not Behind

    What if the thing standing between you and your big goal isn’t more effort, but feeling enough right now? In this episode, I share what happened when I set a $20k revenue goal for 30 days, something I’d never done before, and found myself exhausted, telling myself I was behind. I walk through why I’m talking openly about money on this podcast, how I find the purpose in a big goal, and the moment I realized that every time I thought “I’m behind,” I was leaving myself behind. I also share what shifted when I started practicing sufficiency, how it showed up when I said yes to a big presentation with four days’ notice, and where my revenue landed when I stopped pushing and started trusting myself. Grow a Thriving Practice doors are closed right now, and the wins inside are rolling in. Get on the waitlist for the next enrollment period and join the movement of thriving healer entrepreneurs.

How to find purpose in a big goal by looking at its impact on the people around you. Why you have to love and accept who you are now before chasing a big goal. How the thought “I’m behind” can drain your energy, even when nothing else has changed. What sufficiency is, and why it’s what actually gets you to your goal. How sufficiency changes the way you show up on consults and say yes to opportunities. Why you expand from enough, and reach more people just by being you.

    195. [Evergreen] Leaning into Discomfort

    What if the discomfort you're feeling while growing your practice isn't a sign that something's gone wrong, but a sign that you're growing? In this Evergreen episode, I share why discomfort is the currency of your dreams, and why fear, self doubt, and rejection are part of the price of building something of your own. I walk through why your brain is wired to avoid uncomfortable emotions, and how deciding ahead of time what you'll do when they show up changes everything. I also share a recent shame spiral of my own, why other people's opinions of you have nothing to do with you, and what I call the river of misery: that unsettling space between letting go of an old belief and fully believing a new one. Grow a Thriving Practice doors are closed until 2027, but you can be the first to know when they open. Click here to join the waitlist. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Why growth requires emotional capacity, and why more growth means more emotional risk. How your brain tries to protect you from discomfort, and how to anticipate it instead. Why it's okay to pause and not take action when your nervous system is activated. What I did when I found myself in a shame spiral, and what I didn't do. Why other people's judgments and perceptions of you have nothing to do with you, especially if you're a people pleaser. The idea that life is 50/50, and how it helps you stop chasing happiness. What the river of misery is, and how to move through it with self compassion and support.

    194. You Lead

    What if your clients aren't waiting for a better offer, but for someone to lead? In this episode, I share three moments from the last two days where practitioners figured out why their clients weren't buying, and every time, the answer had nothing to do with their clients. I walk through what happened when a member realized her people were stuck in indecision because she was, when a massage therapist heard herself say her clients won't invest time in themselves, and when a webinar participant saw that the worthiness work was hers first. I also share the scary thing I'm doing right now, letting go of Biofield Tuning as a standalone service, and the funny moment a friend pointed out that I wasn't clear on where I'm going, right as I was writing this episode. Doors to Grow a Thriving Practice close Saturday, October 3rd at 12pm Pacific and won't open again until 2027. Join us now for just $147/month, or save two months with the annual option at $1,470/year. Our Impact series starts Tuesday at 10am Pacific with client creation. Click here to join. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Why "my clients are indecisive" is often pointing back at you, and why that's good news. How your own confusion, doubt, or pricing fears show up in your clients. Why going first, before it feels safe, is what builds real faith in your clients. The difference between doing your own work to get a client and doing it to be ready for one. How to hold space for someone's worthiness until she can hold it herself. What you gain from investing in yourself, even when you don't get the result you wanted. Why your clients can only go as far as you're willing to go first.

    193. Impact Comes First, Then Clients

    What if you don't need more clients to start having the impact you got into this work to have? In this episode, I share why so many practitioners are doing all the things and still nobody's booking, and why it has less to do with how much you're putting out there and more to do with what you're doing it for. I walk through what it means to put impact first, and why the people who join my program so often tell me they've been following me for years, listening to the podcast, or reading an email that spoke to them. I also share why you don't need a big audience, a polished feed, or to be everywhere at once to have your right person find herself in your words and reach out already decided. Join me live for my free workshop, How to Make an Impact and Attract Clients Without Chasing Them, on Wednesday, September 30th at 9am Pacific. Click here to save your spot. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Why "I'm doing all the things and nobody's booking" is such a common place to get stuck, and what's really underneath it. Why waiting for clients before you have an impact keeps the whole thing backwards. The difference between putting a lot out there and actually having an impact on someone. Why giving real value before anyone pays you is what helps them decide. How clarity and specificity help the right person find herself in your message. Why quality over quantity and unpolished over perfect work better than you think. Who you become when you stop chasing and start talking to her.

    192. Success Greed Reversal

    What if treating your practice like a business isn't something you wait to do until you feel ready? In this episode, I share why so many wellness and energy practitioners lead with the safer identity — nurse, healer, practitioner — and why the moment you decide your practice is "just a little thing you do," you start treating it that way. I walk through the hidden cost of what I'm calling humility, the belief that keeping your work small and personal is somehow more honoring of it. I also share why de-personalizing your business is actually the thing that frees you — to charge what you're worth, to market without apology, and to show up as the leader your clients need. Join us now in Grow a Thriving Practice for just $147/month, or save two months with the annual option at $1,470/year. Click here to join. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Why we lead with the safer identity when we're in transition and what it costs us What happens to your practice the moment you decide it's "just a little thing you do" Why calling it a business can feel like dishonoring work that's deeply personal to you The difference between your value as a human and the value of what you offer and why fusing those two makes charging almost impossible What marketing and selling actually mean for practitioners, minus the charge those words carry Why I think the belief that success equals greed is completely backwards Three things to practice this week

    191. Identity Over Habits

    Being good with time is who you are, not what you do. In this episode Jillian shares the thought her coach offered her earlier this year that she's been growing into ever since: I am the asset. The first time she heard it, her old programming kicked in and it felt selfish. If you've ever struggled to put yourself first in your own business, this one is for you. She also talks about why "I'm just lazy" and "I'm not good at time management" are never the real story, what's actually happening in your brain when you avoid the thing on your list, and how she finally sat down with her financials after putting them off for weeks. In this episode: Why so many of us, especially women, were never taught that we matter What actually changes in your business when you believe you're the asset Why your brain resists effort and why that's not a character flaw The short-term discomfort of doing the thing vs. the long-term drain of avoiding it How to notice resistance and create desire with your own mind Why being good with time is an identity, not a skill How to celebrate what you learned, whether or not you hit the goal Doors to Grow a Thriving Practice are open through September. This month Jillian is teaching Time Creation: how to create more time with your mind, the Intentional Planning process, time deconstruction, and time as currency.

    189. Commitment is a Daily Decision

    You put in effort, you get a few clients, things start to move. And then you take your foot off the gas. The clients slow down. And suddenly you're thinking this isn't working. Sound familiar? In this episode Jillian talks about what commitment actually looks like in a practice — not the New Year's resolution kind, but the real, daily, sometimes moment-by-moment kind. And why commitment has to come before the proof, not after. In this episode: The pattern Jillian sees constantly with practitioners and why it keeps them stuck Why wanting proof before you commit is completely backwards The difference between confidence and self-confidence and why it changes everything Her personal story of committing to $10k months before she had any evidence it was possible How she applied the same commitment to healing chronic pain she'd lived with for over half her life What the first month of that commitment actually looked like, day by day The two questions to ask yourself every time you make a commitment The real question underneath all of it — and why it's usually what's standing between you and the thing you want Why commitment isn't comfortable and why that's exactly the point The key insight from this episode: Commitment has to come before the proof, or the proof never gets the chance to show up. Most people want to see it working before they'll fully commit. But that's backwards. Self-confidence isn't trusting that the outcome will go a certain way. It's trusting yourself to handle it either way. The two questions from this episode: What am I saying yes to? And what am I saying no to? Ask those every time you make a commitment. And then every day, sometimes every moment, ask: why do I keep showing up for this? Ready to commit with support? If you're tired of putting in a little effort and hoping, and you're ready to actually commit without doing it alone, come join the waitlist for Grow a Thriving Practice. 👉 jillianfaldmo.com/workwithme Connect with Jillian: 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/jillianfaldmo.coaching — @jillianfaldmo.coaching 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/jillianfaldmo — Jillian Faldmo, RN, Business & Life Coach Enjoying the podcast? ⭐ Leave a rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts 📲 Share this episode with a practitioner who needs to hear this today I'm not a magic unicorns.
