Episode 46: Hiring Without the Headaches with Julie Campbell - Sustainable Bodyworker Podcast

Hiring for your practice shouldn’t feel like wandering through a legal minefield, but let’s be honest—most of us end up there, stressing about getting it “right” and terrified of making a costly mistake. What’s refreshing about this conversation with Julie Campbell is the real talk on why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for hiring ICs vs. W2s. Instead of chasing the option that looks best on paper, Julie Campbell encourages you to really sit with the actual kind of business you want to run, how much control you need, and what makes sense for your nervous system and bottom line—plus how “mistakes” in hiring might be inevitable but don’t have to break you. If you’ve ever guilt-tripped yourself for not having it all perfectly figured out, you’ll appreciate how both Gretchen Popp and Julie Campbell own their imperfect, learning-on-the-fly business journeys. There’s so much relief in hearing that messing up is just part of the process, not proof you don’t belong here. Take the pressure off: asking better questions, getting clear about what actually works for you (and your future team), and letting go of the fantasy of a totally risk-free business plan might be the most sustainable way to keep growing—on your own terms.   ----more---- CLICK HERE FOR A FREE BREAKTHROUGH EXPERIENCE WITH GRETCHEN ----more---- If you’re a massage therapist who wants your practice to feel sustainable again, the Sustainable Bodyworker Membership is where we go deeper.
