In Episode 56, Gerda tackles one of the most common and probably most frustrating challenges in allied health private practice being: when it feels like your team sucks!

With her trademark honesty (and a little humour), Gerda unpacks why nine times out of ten it’s not your people who are the problem - it’s the way they’re being managed and led.

This episode is an important invitation to look in the mirror, take ownership, and fix the real cause of underperformance, so you can build a team that’s aligned, accountable, and genuinely enjoyable to lead.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• Why “my team sucks” is usually a leadership and management problem (not a team problem).
• The three core reasons good people underperform.
• How to create simple, practical systems that set your team up to succeed.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Practice owners who feel frustrated, disappointed, or stuck with a team that isn’t performing.
• Leaders who want to improve culture, accountability, and outcomes without becoming a micromanager.
• Anyone who wants a team that helps the business run smoothly rather than creating more work and stress.

Tune in for a practical, no-fluff conversation that will help you strengthen your leadership, lift performance, and build a practice you can’t stop smiling about.

In Episode 55, Gerda gets real about what’s holding so many practice owners back from building the self-running business they dream of.

With her signature honesty and a dose of tough love, she unpacks the three big reasons most practice owners never achieve true freedom and why it’s not about working harder, hiring more, or just wishing things were different.

Gerda shares her own journey to a self-running practice and explains what it actually takes to step away from the day-to-day - without everything falling apart.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• What a true 'self-running practice' really looks like (and why it’s possible for you, too).
• The three core barriers that keep owners chained to their business and how to break free.
• Why asking for help early, being patient with the process, and choosing the right support are non-negotiable for long-term success.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Private practice owners who are tired of carrying the whole business on their shoulders.
• Leaders who want more freedom, flexibility, and a business that doesn’t rely on them 24/7.
• Anyone ready to ditch the burnout cycle and finally build a practice they can’t stop smiling about.

Tune in for a candid, empowering conversation and walk away with the clarity and courage to start building your own self-running practice.

In Episode 54, Gerda reveals why January - not December - is the secret weapon for smart, sustainable business planning in private practice. She shares her own experience of ditching frazzled “December brain” for the clarity and creativity that only a well-rested January can bring.

You’ll discover why most practice owners start the year already behind, how reaction mode keeps you stuck, and why planning all by yourself rarely works. Instead, Gerda recommends and unpacks the power of a facilitated, intentional planning process - one that’s realistic, energising, and designed for the unique rhythms of allied health.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• Why January is the best time to plan your year and how a rested brain leads to better business decisions.
• The dangers of starting the year in reaction mode and how to break the cycle.
• How to design a year that’s intentional, aligned, and actually executable (no more wishful thinking or burnout).

Who This Episode Is For:

• Allied health practice owners who want to lead their year, not chase it.
• Business owners tired of repeating the same patterns and ready for real change.
• Anyone craving more clarity, structure, and support as they map out a successful, sustainable year ahead.

Tune in for a practical, honest, and inspiring conversation that will help you start your year with purpose and in turn build a practice you can’t stop smiling about.
