The next week your diary is suddenly quiet and your brain starts going into overdrive. You start wondering if you’ve done something wrong, if clients have disappeared, or if your business is going backwards. In this episode I talk about the feast and famine cycles that come with running your own practice and how quickly those quieter weeks can knock your confidence and fire up your nervous system. I share the simple pattern that completely changed the way I see slow weeks in my clinic, why I cap myself at 15 clients a week to protect my energy, and what I actually do when a booking gap appears so it supports my business instead of sending me into panic mode. If you’d like support creating more stability and calm in your practice, come and join me on 16 March where we’ll go deeper into this and help you put some structure around your business.
