390. How Much Is Too Much? Finding Your True Capacity in Business
You can be doing everything right on paper and still feel like youโve got nothing left in the tank. Iโve definitely had those weeks myself.
Youโre seeing clients, keeping everything ticking along, showing up every dayโฆ 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 weekโs 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 itโs 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 whatโs realistically sustainable.

389. Practitioner Burnout: Why Overgiving Is Draining Your Energy
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.

388. Why Your Practice Feels Harder Than It Should and What to Reconnect With
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, Iโm talking about something we donโt often pause long enough to look at. The difference between running a business and being in practice. Theyโre 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 youโre reading this, send it their way. Weโre better at this when we donโt do it alone.

387. Why Your To-Do List Is Making You Stressed (And How One Focus Can Fix It)

We cover:
- Why one focus beats a mile-long to-do list any day
- How to identify your key focus for the year

386. How to Let Go of Old Offers and Grow Your Business
Are you overthinking, worrying, or just feeling like some things in your practice arenโt working?
In this episode, Iโm helping you take a proper look at whatโs landing and whatโs not, and how to let go without feeling rubbish about yourself.
- We talk about how to:
- Work out whatโs working and whatโs outdated
- Restructure or systematise without having to learn anything new
- Set boundaries and manage your capacity so you donโt burn out
- Turn past โfailuresโ into useful info
- Use fresh eyes, mentoring, and community to make it all easier
Iโll also chat a bit about life, family, and renovations, because letโs be honest, sometimes change is messy, and thatโs totally fine.

385. Change in Practice: Letting Go of What No Longer Works
Have you ever known something in your business isnโt working, but you keep going anyway because you donโt know what else to do?
Thatโs what Iโm talking about in this episode.
I get into why letting go is so bloody hard, especially when youโve 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 itโs not doing what you need it to do anymore.
This isnโt about starting again or learning a whole new thing. Most of the time, itโs just about small tweaks. Changing how you work. Letting go of whatโs clunky and keeping what actually helps.
As we head into 2026, Iโm talking about reset, reconnect, and change in a way that fits real life.
๐ง Hit play now if youโre done forcing things, ready to make smarter changes, and want your practice to feel easier and more sustainable in the year ahead.
