In this episode, I’m joined by my friend & colleague, Madi Miller, as we take you behind the scenes of the in-person workshop we led in January — a truly incredible experience that left everyone (us included!) on a total high.

This wasn’t just any workshop — it was an intensive, done-with-you deep dive into the business side of running a successful HTMA practice. We helped practitioners build out a fully automated 6-month funnel, simplify their tech, clarify their messaging, and get systems in place to consistently attract and convert clients — without burning out.

We talk about:

1. Why we created this workshop (and who it’s for)

2. What most practitioners get wrong about funnels and marketing

3. Common struggles we’ve seen (hello, tech overwhelm and burnout)

4. The magic that happened in the room — and what made it so special

5. Why we leaned into ChatGPT (and how practitioners fell in love with it)

6. What’s coming next with the digital version of HTMA Practice Fast Track

7. How this system helps you work smarter, attract aligned clients, and create long-term business sustainability

💻 We’re now offering a digital version of HTMA Practice Fast Track — with a full onboarding experience, personalized tech support, and our full system built with you.

🚨 Only a couple of spots are available each month since we’re doing this hands-on.

This is only available for Instant HTMA Professional Students, so please find the link to the waitlist in the Business Essentials section of the course!

On the Waitlist, you’ll get first access, insider tips on how to get the biggest discount, and be notified when a slot opens.

If you’re an HTMA practitioner who’s ready to feel confident in your business systems and finally build a practice that works, this is for you.
