The Wealthy Practitioner
Seven years ago, I was facing burnout as a new graduate, working in a job that undervalued me and drowning in student loan debt. I wondered how I would ever get ahead. Today, I own multiple clinics, manage several team members, invest in real estate and startup companies, and consult other practitioners on how to grow their own empires. The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast is an unfiltered show dedicated to pulling back the curtain on entrepreneurship, wealth building, motherhood, and more! Tune in every Tuesday as I share my real-life experiences with you, so you can not only learn from them but also have a laugh along the way!

E136 The End of Year Quantum Conversation You Can’t Afford to Miss!

E136 The End of Year Quantum Conversation You Can’t Afford to Miss!
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph is joined by her close friend and collaborator Callan Faulkner () for a raw, expansive conversation about quantum friendships, environment, and why the people you surround yourself with determine everything — your income, growth speed, confidence, and identity. Steph opens with a passionate reminder that your environment dictates your results. She explains why tolerating relationships that don’t want to see you win blocks higher-level friendships, opportunities, and timelines — and why proximity to obsessed, growth-minded people can collapse years of effort into months. Callan shares the story of how their friendship began, tracing it back to a single mastermind room in early 2023 and the seemingly small decisions that led to rapid, compounding growth. Together, they break down how consistent idea-sharing, feedback loops, and mutual risk-taking accelerated both of their businesses — from early-stage offers to seven-figure launches in under two years. Throughout the episode, they explore the concept of collaboration over competition, dismantling scarcity thinking around shared markets, teams, and resources. Steph and Callan highlight how generosity, trust, and radical giving create ecosystems where everyone wins — and why holding back due to past burns or fear only blocks future alignment and abundance. The conversation expands into powerful real-world examples of how cold DMs sparked life-changing relationships, partnerships, speaking opportunities, clients, and even romantic connection. Steph reframes outreach as “invoicing the creator” — giving without attachment to outcome — and explains why the ripple effects are often far bigger than the original ask. This episode is a permission slip to raise your standards, put yourself in uncomfortable rooms, reach out boldly, and stop underestimating how good life and business can actually get. 00:00 Intro: why this conversation matters + Expander retreat context 01:30 Why high-quality friendships accelerate growth exponentially 03:15 Callan & Steph’s origin story: how they met inside a mastermind 05:35 Friendship as a growth multiplier: sharing tactics, feedback loops, and speed 06:30 First major breakthroughs: launches, momentum, and permission to think bigger 07:15 Collaboration over competition: sharing resources without scarcity 09:05 Giving without expectation: “invoicing the creator” philosophy 13:57 Cold DMs that changed everything: friendships, opportunities, and leverage 16:25 Building quantum friendships intentionally: rooms, proximity, bold outreach 17:10 Final takeaway: give more, risk more, and let friendships change your life This conversation is really about being intentional — with your environment, your standards, and the rooms you choose to be in. Because the direction you set determines everything that follows. If you want to carry that same clarity into next year, this will help.

E135 The Truth About Scaling: Why Most Businesses Shouldn’t
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph shares a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what she’s optimizing for in 2026 — and why understanding the difference between growth and scale is one of the most important decisions you can make as a business owner. Steph breaks down how growth often looks like incremental revenue increases, more personal profit, and greater lifestyle flexibility — while scale requires a completely different mindset, level of sacrifice, and reinvestment back into the business. She explains why so many entrepreneurs say they want to scale without truly understanding the cost, responsibility, and discomfort that comes with it. Throughout the episode, Steph pulls back the curtain on real decisions she’s making inside her clinics and coaching company, including major hires, infrastructure investments, brand expansion, and why profit looks very different in a season of scale. She also speaks honestly about taxes, payroll, leadership pressure, nervous system regulation, and the internal standards required to play at a higher level. This is a raw, grounding conversation for entrepreneurs planning their next year — especially those deciding whether they’re in a season to grow, scale, or simply enjoy the rewards of the business they’ve already built. 00:00 Intro: what she’s optimizing for in 2026 + growth vs scale 00:45 Growth explained: incremental wins, lifestyle creep, paying yourself 01:55 Scale explained: insane targets, reinvesting profit, bigger sacrifice 02:20 What they’re scaling in the clinics: key hires + standardizing systems 02:45 Mistakes in multi-location growth: inconsistent CRM and backend ops 04:10 Short-term profit hit: reinvesting aggressively into team and infrastructure 04:30 Clinic focus for 2026: getting newer locations to $1M 04:40 Coaching margins vs clinics: why scale looks different in each business 05:10 Brand investments: HQ, content studio, media, and team expansion 07:45 The real cost of scale: taxes, payroll, pressure, and responsibility 08:10 Truth bomb: most people say “scaling” but are actually just growing 09:00 The sacrifice gap: what it really takes to go from $1M to $10M 09:20 Looking in the mirror: betting big on yourself and leadership capacity 10:30 Standards and obsession: why high performers operate differently 11:10 Kyle’s reflection: obsession, energy, and why it activates others 12:15 Choosing your season: growth, scale, or harvest 14:00 Final takeaway: know what you’re optimizing for + commit fully If you've been on the fence about joining TWP, this is your moment.

E134 How to Feel Safe Making More Money with Financial Planner Meera Shereen
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph sits down with Certified Financial Planner Meera Shireen for a powerful conversation about money, nervous system safety, and what it actually means to feel secure with your finances as your business grows. While Meera brings over a decade of financial planning experience, this conversation goes far beyond traditional money advice. Together, they unpack why so many entrepreneurs fear wealth, how childhood patterns shape your financial identity, and why nervous system regulation is one of the most overlooked components of building long-term wealth. Meera shares her journey from studying economics to entering the financial planning world, launching her own firm, and integrating somatic therapy into her work. She explains why so many high earners still feel “bad with money,” the emotional blocks that keep entrepreneurs from knowing their numbers, and how industry jargon and gatekeeping contribute to shame and avoidance. Throughout the episode, Steph and Meera break down the biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make, how to choose the right financial advisor, why understanding your numbers is a somatic exercise, and how to use money to improve your quality of life—not outsource your entire life. This is an honest, grounding, and empowering conversation for anyone who wants to make more money and feel genuinely safe holding it. 00:00 Intro: money safety, nervous system, and why this conversation matters 01:10 Mira’s background: economics, financial planning, and starting her own firm 02:40 Who she works with: entrepreneurs, especially women, and money fear 03:20 Identity blocks around money: “I’m bad with money” and avoidance patterns 04:20 Nervous system + money: why financial conversations feel unsafe 06:15 Knowledge as regulation: understanding numbers to feel grounded 06:45 Fear of success: more money, more responsibility, more pressure 08:15 What to look for in a financial advisor: fiduciary vs sales incentives 09:20 Red flags in the industry: commissions, insurance-first advice, misalignment 11:00 Different advisors for different goals: retirement timelines and business plans 12:15 Accountant vs bookkeeper vs holistic wealth advisor 13:40 Money foundations: knowing what your life and business actually cost 14:50 Healthy money relationships: checking too much vs avoiding entirely 15:45 Budgeting vs values alignment: control, flow, and fulfillment 16:50 Using money to improve life quality, not outsource meaning 18:55 Finding balance: outsourcing without losing family connection 20:20 Where to connect with Mira + closing thoughts To connect with Meera, follow her on Instagram .

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph sits down with longtime friend and entrepreneur Jill Cherry— founder of Cherry Picked WebCo () — for one of the most honest and expansive conversations we’ve had on the show. Jill’s story is a powerful example of what happens when identity, motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship collide — and what becomes possible when a woman finally decides to build a business on her own terms.

E132 The Unicorn Launch That Changed Everything
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph reflects on one of the most iconic years in TWP history — a year of massive expansion, powerful breakthroughs, and the launch that redefined what’s possible for the brand and the clients inside it. Steph shares the behind-the-scenes of the now-legendary Unicorn Launch, a $2.5M sales event that exceeded every expectation and set a new standard for what aligned launching can feel like. From the moment momentum kicked in to the unexpected ease and fun of the process, she breaks down the identity shift required to create results at this level — and why online business principles apply to every entrepreneur, even brick-and-mortar owners. She also recaps the recent Expanders Retreat in Scottsdale, including the transformative conversations, the denim party, and the quantum-level identity work that happened in the room. From friendships that accelerate growth to the hard truths about commitment, work ethic, and staying locked into your vision, this episode dives into what it really takes to step into your next level. Steph discusses the importance of having systems, community, and a product people truly love — and why so many entrepreneurs struggle simply because they’re unwilling to do the hard things consistently. She closes the episode with a powerful reminder that financial freedom is a moral obligation, and that stepping into abundance requires becoming a different version of yourself.

Baley shares her journey from taking “anyone who would walk in the door” during a pandemic to transforming her clinics into thriving, women-centered sanctuaries serving pregnancy, fertility, postpartum, and pediatric care.

E130 Why Mediocrity Kills Teams—and How to Build a Culture of Excellence
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph opens up about one of the hardest—and most rewarding—parts of scaling a business: building a high-performing team. Drawing from her experience growing multiple businesses and leading The Wealthy Practitioner to new levels, Steph gets raw about what it really takes to lead at a championship level. From firing team members you love to setting “Netflix-level” standards of excellence, she shares the mindset, structure, and culture shifts required to build a team that truly wins. Steph walks through the evolution of her leadership over the last three years, the lessons learned from building teams across multiple companies, and how she’s now creating her own TWP Culture Memo inspired by Netflix’s Dream Team philosophy. You’ll learn how to recognize when someone isn’t the right fit, how to elevate your expectations without guilt, and how to attract A-players who thrive under high standards. Whether you’re managing your first hire or running a full operation, this episode will challenge you to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction. Episode Breakdown 00:00 Intro: why “team” is the real CEO game 00:35 Last 24 months: building team across clinics + TWP (hard + liberating) 01:10 TWP team build story: early hires + expanding key roles 01:45 “Championships” pep talk: playoffs mentality + standards going into Full Send 02:35 Letting someone go: culture fit vs performance fit 03:15 The emotional weight of firing + Kyle’s tough-love perspective 03:50 Netflix culture memo: sports team vs family (performance standard) 04:45 Values excerpt: selflessness, feedback, adaptability, excellence 05:40 What she wants post-decision: ownership, initiative, “pick up the slack” 06:20 Complacency risk: when CEO steps back, team can coast 07:05 Leader standard: no waiting for permission—run with ideas 08:00 “MVP” mindset: collaboration + elevating the whole team 08:35 2026 focus: right people > more people (A-players only) 09:15 Reminder: team = freedom; mismatch means hard conversations 10:05 Reframe: letting someone go helps them find alignment too 10:35 “Stranded island” filter: who’s resourceful enough for the mission 10:52 Outro Key Takeaways - Your team determines your freedom. You can’t scale or lead without people who are fully bought into your mission. - Set standards that feel uncomfortable. Leadership means making decisions most people won’t. - You attract what you embody. If you want A-players, show up like an A-player. - Culture isn’t perks—it’s performance. Build a professional sports team, not a family. - Letting go isn’t cruel—it’s kind. Releasing the wrong person creates alignment for everyone involved.

E109 From $0 to Building a Million Dollar Purpose-Filled Business with Sarah Burby
In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph chats with fellow Jersey-girl and beloved client, Sarah Burby—owner of Mind Body Behavior and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Sarah shares how she left a steady career in special education in search of something more aligned, fulfilling, and free.

After struggling to gain traction and make consistent income, everything shifted—and her story is one of incredible transformation and resilience. Sarah opens up about the moment she decided to bet on herself, using the last of her money to book a coaching call with Steph, without a clear plan but a strong belief in what was possible. That leap of faith, combined with powerful mentorship, became the foundation for a thriving business that’s now on track to generate a million dollars in 2025. Together, they dive into what it really takes to scale, the mindset required to grow, the systems that support it, and the magic of being surrounded by a high-level community inside Expanders. 00:00 Welcome to The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast 00:26 From Special Ed Teacher to Entrepreneur 01:27 Sarah’s Entrepreneurial Journey 02:30 Struggles and Breakthroughs in Early Entrepreneurship 03:38 The Turning Point: Guidance and Mentorship From Steph 07:01 Scaling Up: From Struggling to Thriving 08:03 Achieving Financial Freedom and Future Goals 15:22 The Beauty and Power of Expanders 19:16 Closing Thoughts If Sarah’s story resonated, and you’re a visionary entrepreneur earning—or on track for—7 figures, Expanders was built for you.

E108 Lil Wayne, Name Changes & Range Rovers
In this solo episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph unpacks what’s been new in her life and business lessons from an unexpected place…a Lil Wayne concert at Madison Square Garden. She also shares the deeper meaning behind her recent Instagram rebrand and what The Wealthy Practitioner was always meant to represent: a movement centered around its community, not a single individual. Steph also dives into her personal health journey, including why she invested in a luxury Lagree studio, a place that proves they KNOW their ideal client (hello, white Range Rover parking lot!) Whether you’re scaling your business or refining your personal brand, this raw, real conversation reminds you that the best strategies often show up in the most unexpected places. 00:00 Welcome to The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast 01:08 Front Row Date Night at a Lil Wayne Concert 04:20 What Lil Wayne Taught Me About Business 05:59 The Reason Behind the Instagram Rebrand 08:23 Entering the Healthy Girl Era 9:46 - Tell Me You Know Your Ideal Client Without Telling Me You Know Your Ideal Client 11:23 Business Lessons in Daily Life 11:48 Final Takeaways
