351. When Clients Disappear: Understanding Ghosting and Growing from It

Have you ever had a client just disappear after a session โ€” no call, no message, nothing โ€” and wondered what you did wrong?

This week, we’re diving deep into something we all deal with at some point โ€” client ghosting. Yes, when youโ€™ve poured your heart into an appointment and your client just vanishes. Iโ€™m chatting about why this happens, how it’s often not about us personally, and what we can do to learn and evolve as practitioners.

Iโ€™ll also share personal stories from my two decades in practice (like the time I thought a client had ghosted, but she was actually stranded interstate camping by her broken-down car!).

You canโ€™t stop ghosting entirely, but you can manage it with grace, keep your boundaries strong, protect your business โ€” and come out a stronger practitioner.

350. Why Reflecting on Client Consults Could Save You From Burnout

Last time, we chatted about the empathy bucket and how quickly it empties when youโ€™re not careful. Well this week, weโ€™re building on that โ€” because if youโ€™re waking up at 3am thinking, โ€œI shouldโ€™ve asked about thatโ€ฆโ€ or โ€œWhat did I miss?โ€, then this episode is exactly what you need.

Iโ€™m getting into the real guts of the consult โ€” not the protocols, not the supplements โ€” but what happens after the client leaves and youโ€™re left with that lingering feeling of unfinished business.

This is all about reflection. Honest, practical, non-perfectionist reflection.

If youโ€™re ready to stop carrying consults home with you, book a free focus call with me at http://www.geraldineheadley.com and letโ€™s sort it out together.

349. Empathy Burnout Is Real: How to Set Boundaries Without Losing Your Clients

How often do you sit with a client and find yourself biting your tongue, fighting the urge to chime in, correct, explain, or fix? Yeah, I see you. Thatโ€™s judgment creeping in, and itโ€™s costing you more than you think.

This week, I’m calling it like it is โ€”

Empathy burnout is real,

And we’ve only got so much in the tank before we start running on empty.

Iโ€™ll share what Iโ€™ve learned the hard way (and what my mum used to say). Because when your empathy bucketโ€™s dry, your patience, clarity, and connection go with it.

Need help putting boundaries in place, managing burnout, or just figuring out how to make it all work?

348. Top 3 Rules for Managing Complex Clients and Staying on Time in Clinic

That moment when youโ€™re wrapping up a session and your client casually drops a new diagnosis or med they โ€œforgotโ€ to mention โ€” and suddenly, your whole planโ€™s out the window.

Iโ€™ve been there โ€” and in this episode, Iโ€™m sharing the simple rules I follow to keep appointments on track, protect my energy, and still make clients feel heard and supported.

Weโ€™ll talk about why shorter sessions can actually work better for complex cases, how to get the most out of that first 15 minutes, and how active listening changes everything.

If youโ€™re feeling stretched, scattered, or just plain exhausted, this oneโ€™s got your name on it.

347. How to Grow Your Natural Health Practice Using the Skills You Already Have

Ready to build a thriving natural health practice thatโ€™s actually yours ?

In this episode, Iโ€™m diving into how you can start growing your client base using the skills, experiences, and connections you already have.

Iโ€™ll walk you through exactly what I did when I was starting out โ€” the markets I went to (even when I didnโ€™t make a dollar), the offers I put out, and how I built trust and connection that led to long-term clients.

Spoiler alert: it didnโ€™t happen overnight, but it did happen โ€” and you can absolutely do it too.

So have a listen โ€” and letโ€™s figure out how to build a practice that feels good, grows steadily, and reflects you.

It doesnโ€™t have to be perfect.

It just has to be real.

And it just has to be yours.

How to Market Your Natural Therapy Business Without Burnout

Are you spending way too much time on social media? Letโ€™s change that!

Marketing yourself online doesnโ€™t have to be an all-consuming task. You donโ€™t have to spend hours every day creating content when there are smarter ways to stay visibleโ€”and AI is here to help. We all know when someone has used AI, and guess what? Thatโ€™s okay! Itโ€™s about working smarter, not harder.

In this episode, I dive into how to market yourself effectively without feeling drained, why AI and outsourcing can save you time and energy, and the importance of focusing your energy on the platforms that work for you.

Big takeaway? Quality over quantity. Your content doesnโ€™t need to be constantโ€”it needs to be valuable.

Letโ€™s simplify your marketing so you can focus on what you love!
