If you’ve ever reached the end of the year and secretly opened Seek to look for a “normal job,” this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, I’m having a very honest conversation about what happens when your business starts running you instead of you running it. We’ll talk about burnout, “shoulds,” misaligned offers, leaky boundaries, and why so many practitioners and soul-led entrepreneurs quietly resent the businesses they’ve built.

Most importantly, we’ll look at how to change it.

This is a practical, no-fluff episode about designing a business that actually fits your real life, your health, your family, and your values, instead of sacrificing everything to keep it going.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why I’m drawing a line in the sand and refusing to keep doing work that drains me
• The subtle ways we end up sacrificing our lives to our businesses (often with the best intentions)
• How “shoulds” quietly build a business you never actually wanted
• What “life by design” really means in simple, grounded terms
• How to start putting your real life, health, and values at the centre of your business model
• The difference between being ambitious and just burning yourself out
• Why more offers and more hustle rarely equal more income
• How to start simplifying your offers, schedule, and marketing so your business feels lighter, not heavier
• The emotional side of letting go of offers, identities, and expectations that no longer fit

Simple steps you can start this week.

Inside the episode, I walk you through how to:

1. Get radically honest about the life you actually want in 2026
2. Audit your current business against that vision (offers, schedule, marketing, boundaries)
3. Sketch a simpler, more aligned business model with fewer, clearer offers
4. Start letting go with love of what doesn’t serve you anymore

You don’t have to burn it all down. You just have to be willing to see what’s not working and take one small step.

Thanks for tuning in,

Cassandra x

Big changes are coming—and I'm not just talking about the social media ban.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's been happening behind the scenes, the massive shift coming to Australian social media on December 10th, and what I'm doing differently in 2026.

Here's what we're covering:

✨ A candid life and business update - what's been working, what I'm letting go of, and why I'm making some big changes

✨ The Australian social media ban: What's actually happening on Dec 10, who it affects, and what it really means for your business

✨ Why relying on social media has been costing you clients (and what to do instead)

✨ The 4 strategies you need to implement NOW to protect your business and reach

✨ What I'm letting go of in 2026, and what I'm building instead

✨ Why this podcast is staying (thanks to YOU), but with a new name and focus coming in the new year

Plus, I'm sharing:

• How 27 new clients found me (spoiler: not one came from Instagram or Facebook)
• Why I've scheduled my social media through to March 2026
• The real reason I'm done with the "peacocking" and hustle culture online
• What's changing with my brand, my messaging, and my offers in 2026

Does marketing feel like a never-ending uphill battle?

You're not alone—and honestly, I get it. I hate marketing too.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why your marketing feels so exhausting, overwhelming, and misaligned—and what you can do about it.

Here's what we're covering:

✨ The consistency trap that's burning you out (and why you don't need to post every day on every platform)

✨ Why trying to appeal to everyone is making your business invisible

✨ The problem with using someone else's strategy (spoiler: it won't work for you)

✨ How to track what's actually working so you stop wasting effort

✨ The mindset shift that changes marketing from "selling" to "serving"

Plus, I'm sharing:

• How I've scheduled my social media content through to February 2026 (yes, really)
• Why 27 new patients found me through Google—not Instagram or Facebook
• The one thing you could do this week to start attracting more clients

If marketing feels hard right now, something's misaligned. Let's fix that.

Your action step this week: Identify where your last 3-5 clients came from—then do more of that.
