Welcome back, beautiful listeners, to another episode of The Wealthy Wellness Business Podcast! Today, we’re taking a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the lessons we’ve learned over the past 15 years in business—the things we wish we had known when starting out.
Whether you’re in the early days of opening your wellness practice or you’re more established and scaling, there are golden nuggets in this episode that will help you avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your growth.
In This Episode, We Cover:
✨ Why hindsight is a beautiful (and sometimes brutal) teacher
✨ The importance of trusting your gut in business decisions
✨ Lessons from starting Open Space Healing—including the highs, the mistakes, and what we’d do differently
✨ Why you don’t have to do everything yourself and how to start delegating effectively
✨ The myth that clients only want to see you—and how to create a business that isn’t reliant on YOU
✨ How to fiercely protect your time and say NO to distractions
✨ Breaking free from the mindset blocks around pricing and charging what you're worth
✨ Why consistency and momentum matter more than sporadic effort
We also get real about the shadow side of business ownership—how personal growth and leadership go hand-in-hand, and how learning to detach from micromanaging has been a game-changer.
Your Action Steps:
🔹 Audit your time – Where are you spending energy that could be freed up?
🔹 Check your pricing – Are your rates aligned with your value and your goals?
🔹 Simplify your focus – Pick ONE area of your business to prioritise this month.
🔹 Carve out vision time – Block a couple of hours to ensure your daily actions are in alignment with your long-term vision.
🔹 Trust your gut – The next time you have a decision to make, pause and check in with your intuition before overthinking.
This episode is a candid, unscripted conversation where we share real stories, real challenges, and the strategies that have helped us scale our wellness business while maintaining balance and alignment.

How to Blend Science & Spirituality
Episode Summary:
In this empowering episode, we dive into the fascinating intersection of science and spirituality in the world of wellness and healing. Dr. Jacinta shares her personal journey of integrating intuition and spiritual practices into her clinical work, despite a system that traditionally leans heavily on evidence-based protocols. We explore the idea that true healing goes beyond A + B = C—it's about understanding the deeper, unseen energies at play and embracing authenticity in how you work with clients.
From stories of self-discovery to tangible ways to protect your energy while working with clients, this episode will inspire you to show up as your whole self in your wellness business. If you’ve ever felt like blending spirituality into your practice might alienate your clients, think again—this conversation demonstrates how stepping into your authentic self can attract the perfect, aligned clients who resonate with your work.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why some of the greatest scientific minds, like Einstein and Galileo, embraced the idea of unseen energies.
- How the world is ready for a new wave of healers who combine authenticity with deep transformational work.
- Jacinta’s personal experience with energy protection and learning to stay grounded while serving clients.
- The importance of being aligned and vital before stepping into your business for the day.
- How blending science and spirituality creates a unique approach to healing—and why it’s okay to let your “spirituality girly” side shine through.
- Dispelling the myth that science and spirituality cannot coexist.
Memorable Quotes:
- “The more you step into your authenticity, the more you’ll light yourself up with your work and heal people on a deeper level.”
- “What’s happening in our healing isn’t as simple as A + B = C. There’s a whole unseen world influencing the process.”
- “There’s this belief that we have to wear just one hat, but our world is asking for more. It’s asking for the real you.”
Actionable Takeaways:
- Start your workday by aligning your energy: listen to emotive music, clear your energy, and set an intention for how you want to show up.
- Protect your energy while working with clients by grounding yourself and setting boundaries—your vitality matters.
- Reflect on how you can authentically incorporate your spiritual beliefs or practices into your work to create deeper connections with your clients.

We Worked 70 Hours This Week – But Here’s Why It Was Worth It
It’s easy to look at thriving wellness businesses and assume they’ve always had freedom—but the truth? Freedom is built, not found. And sometimes, that means putting in the work before you get to enjoy the ease.
In this episode, we’re giving you a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what’s been happening in our business—launching The Freedom Formula webinar, hiring a practice manager, and navigating the messy middle of growth. Plus, we’re sharing one of our biggest challenges: recovering after a former employee stole $30K from our business.
If you’re in a season of hustle, this episode will help you stay grounded, take care of yourself, and remember why you started.
✨ What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:
🔥 Why building a freedom-based business doesn’t mean skipping the hard work
📈 How we’re using The Freedom Formula webinar to scale The Freedom Academy
👥 The decision to hire a practice manager (and why it took longer than planned)
💰 How we recovered and rebuilt after a $30K theft from a former employee
🌟 The secret to a magnetic team culture that makes clients feel amazing
💆♀️ How we managed one of our busiest seasons (spoiler: daily baths helped!)
🩸 How menstrual cycles impact business & how to work with them
🔹 Building a Business That Actually Gives You Freedom
Right now, we’re in an intense season—but we know the effort we put in today is setting us up for long-term ease. The goal isn’t to avoid the hard parts, but to be intentional about when you take them on.
🔹 What’s Been Happening Behind the Scenes:
✅ Scaling Through Marketing: We partnered with Evolve to launch The Freedom Formula webinar—a 90-minute deep dive into how we built a seven-figure business (the wins and the setbacks).
✅ Strategic Hiring for More Freedom: Instead of hiring another front desk assistant, we brought on a practice manager. It’s added to our workload now, but in the long run? It’s going to save us hours every week.
✅ Rebuilding After a Major Setback: A former practice manager stole $30K from the business, forcing us to go back into the trenches, rebuild our systems, and come back stronger than ever.
🔹 Creating a Team Culture That Feels Like Family:
✨ We love seeing our team thrive—even when it means they move on. Olivia, one of our former front desk stars, left to start her own content creation business, and we couldn’t be prouder!
✨ Clients often tell us they feel better the moment they step into our practice—before even seeing a practitioner. That’s the power of a strong, aligned team culture.
🔹 How We’re Managing an Intense Workload Without Burning Out:
💤 Prioritising sleep (7-8 hours a night)
🏃♀️ Exercising 4-5 days a week
🥗 Eating well & limiting caffeine/alcohol
📖 Reading fiction before bed to fully switch off
🛁 Jacinta’s nervous system reset: 7 days of baths in a row
We also talk about how understanding your menstrual cycle can help you navigate business more easily. Because let’s be real—it does affect how we work.
