The Fully Booked Therapist Podcast w/Heather Hammell. Business coaching for hands-on therapists who are done underearning.

Disclaimer: The F-word is free-flowing in this episode. So if you have your kids around, please pop in some headphones or if you are easily offended, please take this into consideration. 

With that said, this is one of my favorite conversations because we cover a topic that so many of us struggle with. As caretakers, we want to always be available for everyone all of the time but this only leads to exhaustion and burnout. Most of us can easily identify where we are doing this in our personal life but I guarantee that we are also people pleasing or avoiding setting boundaries in our MFR business as well.  

To help us identify how we are creating an environment that is leading us to burn out and offer practical advice on how we can stop giving a f*ck and start feeling more energized, satisfied, focused, and empowered, I have invited Kristen King on this episode to help us break free.

Kristen King, MBA, MPS, is a sweary life and business coach for womxn and femme folx who want to give fewer fucks. Her clients are sick and tired of having to be so freaking perfect all the time, and Kristen helps them reclaim their fucks so they can use them for the shit they actually care about — instead of spending all their time trying to be “good girls” and living up to other people’s expectations. She's on a mission to help 10,000 womxn fall in love with themselves and their lives in the next 5 years. In addition to being a coach, Kristen is also a mental health and wellness facilitator who loves helping people find compassion and connection with themselves as they learn to hold space for their own emotions. Her specialties are perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, overwhelm, and burning down the motherfucking patriarchy one reclaimed fuck at a time.

Listen in for insights on how to tame people-pleasing, give fewer f*cks to the things that don’t matter, and give more f*cks to the things that light you up!

I imagine that this is the same for you all out there who are building your MFR businesses - I've come to realize that my business is a giant science experience. I am constantly evaluating what's working, and what’s not working to determine what I can do better next time to increase the value being offered to my clients and also run my business with more ease and efficiency.

Well, the same way that we consistently evaluate our business in order to improve it is how we also have to evaluate our brian. And a great way to do this is with coaching.

This was very evident to me most recently as I am transitioning my business to the next level of evolution and I am moving through this process without having a coach for myself. This was a first for me because I have always had a coach since I started my business and oh boy, it was a journey!

Listen in as I share what this experience was like and some key takeaways that can definitely help you in your business as you focus on growing your business to the next level.

Imagine being crystal clear about your calling to help others live the best lives they can and then being compelled to start an MFR business but then feeling crippled by fear and just spinning in a place of fear and doubt and not knowing how to start a business. Would you push through to follow your dream, passion, and purpose to be an MFR Therapist or give up?

This is the scenario that our guest today, Jessica Eddy-Storey, was faced with, and although she was overwhelmed she made one easy decision to get help with making her dream not just a reality but a success.  

Listen in to learn how her decision to join the group coaching program has helped her transform her dream into a thriving business as an MFR Therapist.

We are changing things up a little bit in this episode. Instead of talking about Myofascial Release businesses, we are talking about loving ourselves and how impactful that can be on how we show up for ourselves, our families, our businesses, etc.

As healers and health care providers, sometimes we put ourselves on the back burner, and it doesn't have to be that way. And that was one of the things that our guest today really helped me learn. And I hope this conversation helps you too. 

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Jennifer Dent-Brown. Jennifer is a certified life and weight loss coach and she is one of the very first coaches I hired to help me on my journey to self-love by reframing my thoughts about my body in a different way.

Listen in as we discuss the intersection of weight loss and business building. We typically focus on one or the other but it doesn't have to be that way. There is a way to deal with both and make transformations in both areas at the same time. Press play to learn how.

In this episode, I interview one of my group coaching clients, Deidre Buckingham. 

Deidre is the owner of The Mending Tree, Myofascial Release for Restored Wellness in Madison, WI. She has been performing myofascial release therapy for the last 10 years. In total, she has been in the field of integrative health and bodywork for 26 years. She started with massage therapy back in 1994 and then pursued a career in Physical Therapy as an assistant in 2008. She also holds additional certifications as an Alignment yoga instructor and Aquatics instructor.

Listen in as we discuss her journey as an MFR business owner over the past year and how her 26 years coupled with coaching have impacted this experience. This is a rich conversation where you will hear us talk about Deidre’s money story, setting clear boundaries, her first $10K month after 7 weeks of caching and so much more.  Let's go!

In this episode, I am joined by one of my mastermind sisters, Bryn Bamber.  She is a trauma-informed coach and also the host of the Sacred Goals Podcast. 

As a trauma-informed coach, she works with her clients to overcome the patriarchal blocks, the nervous system blocks, that are in the way of them fully stepping into the spotlight, and owning all of who they are or whatever they've been hiding, to attract their ideal people that they want to work with. 

She does this with a practice called core energetics which is working with the energy in the body and inlet trauma that sometimes gets stuck in our bodies, but then also talking about where that comes from and how it connects to our business. This is effective because as a socialized person, or anyone who has any kind of trauma, which we all do, there are a bunch of things that can show up and can make it harder to step out to be the successful business owner they desire to be. 

This conversation is all about the effect that making decisions from anxiety and stress has on not only you as a person, but the effect that has long term on your business and what we can do about that so that we're not making decisions from that place, plus how we can tell when we are so we can quit doing it. 

Press play to join the conversation.

I think that when MFR therapists first sign up to do this work, they're just wanting to help people. And that's fine, but it will only get you to a certain level in your business. There's a clear distinction between wanting to help people and running a business. And you can do both.

You have to want to have a business and you have to decide and make decisions ahead of time about what you want that business to look like so that you can make all the decisions you need to in order to create that result. 

Here’s what's true, that thing that you desire will happen over time. But do you want that result to take 10 years or two?

To inspire you to set big goals and make intentional decisions to grow your online MFR business, I am joined on this episode by Renie Allen, owner of StillPoint Myofascial Release in Cumberland, Maine.

Listen in for some insight into how Renie has grown her business and how you can too.

A great analogy to explain the expectation of our MFR patients is for them to have the willingness to be vulnerable, to show up though they may be lacking belief and hope in the process, and be confused, and overwhelmed by whatever pain they have going on. And what we do as the therapist is we become that energy that they need and we hold space for the belief of what is possible for them. Sometimes harder than they believe themselves and for a longer period of time.

This same analogy can be used to explain the relationship between an MFR business owner and a Coach as it’s so parallel to our patient's journey. As a business owner, you have taken a huge leap to start your business and with vulnerability, confusion, and overwhelm you repeatedly show up as the coach, we hold the belief for you that you will succeed and make a difference in people's lives.

This is the experience of our guest today, Erin Tauscher. After experiencing the amazing results of an MFR treatment, Erin jumped right into becoming a therapist herself and shortly after decided to start her own MFR practice. Just like MFR treatments come with healing pains so did becoming a business owner come with growing pains. 

Listen in to learn how she was able to work through this process to become the confident, successful business owner that she is today and how coaching played a part in her success. 

If you want support with creating the foundation for your six-figure MFR business in 90 days, without working harder I invite you to join my group coaching program. Enrollment for the July group is open from June 23rd - June 30th. Join now at https://bit.ly/3vZFHrJ!

In this episode, I am interviewing a client of mine Brian Cashman. He is an MFR therapist and owner of Kinetic Wellness Myofascial Release located in Evansville, Indiana.

When we first met, Brian was working for someone else and his big goal at the time was to open his own MFR practice. That was in December 2021. Fast forward to now, Brian is the proud owner and operator of a fully booked MFR practice. He even created a 10K month his very first month open.

If you want to hear how he went from feeling stuck to thriving and how coaching helped him on this journey. Press play to learn more. 

And if you are looking to start your own MFR business or revamp your current practice, I have the perfect opportunity for you.  I invite you to mark your calendars for June 23rd through June 30th. These are the dates when you can enroll in the next MFR Coach's Group Coaching Program, which is going to start in July.

I work with many MFR therapists who are very resistant to making changes in their business such as changing their rates, hours, policies, and business location, all of the things.

Believe it or not, this was me too. I was once that MFR therapist who resisted change in my business and now I help other therapists make those changes like it's no big deal.

Want to know how I made the shift? How I was resistant and scared to death and still did these things required to create a practice where I wasn’t under-earning or overworking. Then listen in to this episode to learn how.

And if you want to take a deeper dive into this topic, I teach you exactly how to do this work in my group coaching program. Enrollment for the July Group Coaching Program is open from June 23rd through the 27th.
