Sustainable BodyworkerEpisode 31: The Sustainable Bodyworker Manifesto - Permission to Do Business Differently - Sustainable Bodyworker PodcastBurnout isn’t proof you’re failing. It’s a distress signal — and the panic, resentment, and “I can’t keep doing this” moments aren’t meant to be bypassed. They’re information. In this Season 2 opener, I’m naming the old stories that keep bodyworkers trapped, and sharing a new way to build a career that’s actually sustainable for you — your body, your nervous system, your values, your life.
In this episode:
Why “sustainable” is personal — not one proven system
The old stories keeping therapists chained to the table (and why they feel so real)

So many of us set big resolutions and think, “this year, I’ll finally stick with self-care”... only to get steamrolled by old patterns, client demands, or that sneaky voice insisting five seconds of breathwork doesn’t “count.” We get it—and we’ve done more than our share of Monday-morning resets, chasing motivation until burnout finally called our bluffs. The real shift? Ditching the all-or-nothing mindset and actually embracing what nervous-system regulation looks like: tiny, doable actions that build self-trust, not shame.

If those thoughts have ever circled your mind louder than clients on a Friday night waitlist, you’re not alone—Gretchen lays it all bare in this episode. She shares the very real, not-so-glamorous side of growing beyond what you ever thought possible (and what happens when a “You’ll never make any money doing that” moment from your past tries to call the shots years later). Instead of hustling for confidence or waiting for the imposter feelings to disappear, Gretchen offers simple, nervous-syst...

This conversation with Jim Funk and Kelsy Filler goes straight to the heart of what so many of us never heard in massage school: the mythical “low table, squat all day” advice isn’t actually the answer for longevity.
Jim Funk breaks down how he had to unlearn years of pain and “muscling through” (sound familiar?), and take a totally different approach with his forearm fusion work—o...

Are things in your treatment room feeling a little… off? A low-key unsettled vibe you can’t quite name, but your nervous system absolutely picks up on? Turns out, the space itself is doing way more of the heavy lifting than most of us realize. Gretchen Popp gets honest about how she barely used to think about her massage room beyond the basics—until talking with Jamie Smith left her wheels spinning all week about the real impact of design on work, rest, creativity, and client care.

Ever get tired of gratitude being framed as some forced holiday ritual or another “should” on your self-care to-do list? Yeah, Gretchen gets it — real gratitude often gets lost under the pressure to perform. In this Thanksgiving week episode, Gretchen breaks down exactly why gratitude isn’t just a sugary sentiment or an Instagram affirmation, but actual nourishment for a nervous system (and business) that’s stretched thin. She gets honest about her own history with gratitude feeling contrived, and shares grounded, science-backed practices that actually shift your...

Gretchen Popp pulls back the curtain on what healing from burnout—especially that chronic, nervous system kind—really looks like, and spoiler: it’s not a straight line or a magic overnight fix. She shares real stories from her own years-long journey with fibromyalgia, fatigue, and self-sabotage, getting honest about the messy process of figuring out what actually works and what just piles on more guilt.

This conversation with Gretchen, Kelsy, and guest Alyse Faith gets brutally honest about the back-and-forth dance of flow states in massage therapy, why getting stuck in overthinking mode is part of the job, and how burnout sneaks in when we’re always giving but rarely letting ourselves receive. Gretchen opens up about her own struggles with burnout and guilt (especially that pressure to “love” this work, even when it’s not lighting you up), and the con...

If you’ve ever worried about getting it “wrong,” especially with something as vulnerable as abdominal massage, you’re going to feel seen in this conversation. Michelle Hansen (who went from burnt-out nurse to fiercely empowered abdominal therapist and educator) is proof that curiosity and nuance can be your superpowers, not something to hide or apologize for.

That's why this conversation with Adrienne O’Brien hit so hard—she lays out how billing auto insurance isn’t the soul-sucking mess a lot of us think it is, and how it can actually open doors for clients who need our work the most (hello, accessible massage for folks after serious accidents). We both swapped stories about those post-whiplash clients—their pain, but also the tailspin of nervous system chaos nobody warns you about. Ad...
