If you quietly put your prices up tomorrow, what would actually happen? Would clients disappear? Would bookings slow down? Or is that just the story your brain tells you when money comes up?

With all the renovating happening here, and me weighing up whether a second bathroom is a smart long-term move, I’ve been thinking about return on investment.

Business isn’t that different. We compare. We hesitate. We look sideways at what everyone else is charging. But we don’t always stop and work out what makes sense for us.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what’s really sitting underneath pricing discomfort, and why the feast and famine cycle often comes down to structure, not demand. If money feels a bit wobbly in your practice right now, have a listen.

And if you’d like to go further, I’m running a live webinar on March 16 at 1:30pm ACST where we’ll walk through the practical side of pricing and appointments.

Have you actually settled into the year yet, or are you still finding your feet in your business?

In this episode, I’m checking in at the end of February and sharing what’s been shifting for me as the year gets underway, finding my rhythm again, simplifying how I work and getting clearer on what really matters. It’s a conversation around momentum, boundaries and making small but meaningful changes that support steadier growth. If things have felt a bit scattered or heavy lately, this will help you pause and refocus.

I also share a new space I’m opening for practitioners who are ready to pause, reset their direction and move forward with intention, the Quarterly Strategy Lab.

Have a listen to the episode, and if you’re ready to get clear and build some solid momentum, come and join me in the Strategy Lab on 16 March.

You can be doing everything right on paper and still feel like you’ve got nothing left in the tank. I’ve definitely had those weeks myself.

You’re seeing clients, keeping everything ticking along, showing up every day… and then by the end of the week your brain feels foggy, your patience is thinner, and even the small decisions start to feel harder than they should.

This episode builds on last week’s chat about boundaries, and I dive into capacity, what it actually looks like in real life, how it shifts across different stages of life and business, and why it’s not just about time, but mental and emotional load as well.

Come and have a listen to the full episode of Mentoring with Geraldine. It might just change how you think about your workload, your energy, and what’s realistically sustainable.

What if the very thing that makes you a caring practitioner is also the thing quietly draining your energy?

Many of us want to help, so we listen deeply, give generously, and go the extra mile. But over time, that care can turn into overgiving. Extra time, extra messages, and carrying more responsibility than is ours to hold.

In this episode, I explore the tension between being supportive and becoming overextended. I share why clear boundaries are not harsh, how structure reduces anxiety, and how simple systems can feel kinder for both you and your clients. When expectations are clear, everyone feels more supported.

Follow the podcast for weekly support, and if it sparked something for you, I would love you to leave a review. It helps more practitioners find this work and feel supported in what they do.

How did your January actually go for you? Not how you hoped it would go, but how it really felt in your practice.

Busy, slow, grounding, overwhelming, inspiring, or a bit all over the place?

In this episode, I’m talking about something we don’t often pause long enough to look at. The difference between running a business and being in practice. They’re not the same thing, even though we usually treat them like they are.

We talk about scope, boundaries, and confidence. About why being a generalist can quietly drain you, and how getting clearer on what you really want to treat makes your clinical confidence grow without you forcing it.

Have a listen to the full Bite Size Podcast episode and spend a little time reconnecting with your practice. And if someone else pops into your mind while you’re reading this, send it their way. We’re better at this when we don’t do it alone.

Ever feel like your to-do list is running you instead of the other way around? Between admin, keeping clients flowing, and just trying to stay sane, it’s easy to get a little scattered.

In today’s episode, we explore the simple shift that can help you tackle your biggest goals without losing your marbles.

We cover:

1. Why one focus beats a mile-long to-do list any day
2. How to identify your key focus for the year
3. Practical ways to reduce admin load and keep clients ticking over
4. A sweet story about a client coming full circle

Let’s stop spinning our wheels and start moving forward with one focus at a time.

Are you overthinking, worrying, or just feeling like some things in your practice aren’t working?

In this episode, I’m helping you take a proper look at what’s landing and what’s not, and how to let go without feeling rubbish about yourself.

1. We talk about how to:
2. Work out what’s working and what’s outdated
3. Restructure or systematise without having to learn anything new
4. Set boundaries and manage your capacity so you don’t burn out
5. Turn past “failures” into useful info
6. Use fresh eyes, mentoring, and community to make it all easier

I’ll also chat a bit about life, family, and renovations, because let’s be honest, sometimes change is messy, and that’s totally fine.

Have you ever known something in your business isn’t working, but you keep going anyway because you don’t know what else to do?

That’s what I’m talking about in this episode.

I get into why letting go is so bloody hard, especially when you’ve spent time, money, and energy trying to make something work. A system. An offer. A way of working. At some point, you have to call it and admit it’s not doing what you need it to do anymore.

This isn’t about starting again or learning a whole new thing. Most of the time, it’s just about small tweaks. Changing how you work. Letting go of what’s clunky and keeping what actually helps.

As we head into 2026, I’m talking about reset, reconnect, and change in a way that fits real life.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things in your business but it still feels messy, clunky, or bloody exhausting behind the scenes, this episode will show you exactly why and what to fix first.

I’ve got Annie Gibbins back with me for episode three of our summer series, and we’re getting right into systems, scaling, and the money side of running a practice. We talk about why systems matter, how they support sustainable growth, and how they link directly to financial confidence and knowing your pricing.

This one’s all about working smarter, not harder. Putting the right systems in place early so you get your time back, stop undercharging, and build a business that actually supports you.

You can be good at what you do and still feel like your business is doing your head in.

In this Summer Series episode, I’m having a real, honest chat with Annie Gibbins about magnetic branding and why working harder is often not the answer.

We talk about getting clear on your niche, why copying others never works, when it’s time to let go of draining clients, why people are watching you long before they ever book, and how asking for help can change everything.

I share my own story around burnout, referring clients on, and why mentoring now lights me up far more than forcing work that no longer fits.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether this is how it’s meant to feel, have a listen.
