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.

🔹 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.
