The truth about passive income with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani07 Oct 202600:45:46

Therapists can diversify their income in ways that fit their values, strengths, and capacity. Alicia and Gabrielle discuss what it takes to build revenue beyond one-to-one clinical work, including email marketing, lead magnets, retreats, courses, consulting, and speaking.

Gabrielle Giuliano Vellani shares lessons from building multiple income streams while running a practice—and why it helps to start with what people already ask you for, rather than building something entirely new.

Key topics
  • Why email can be a particularly warm audience—and why Gabrielle makes it a priority.
  • The importance of repeated audience touch points before someone decides to buy.
  • Three ways Gabrielle has grown her email list: freebies, Facebook groups, and virtual summits or trainings.
  • How community questions can reveal gaps and potential new offers.
  • Turning clinical expertise into paid trainings, consulting, coaching, and other opportunities.
  • Why selling can be a way of sharing how you help—and how lower-priced offers can build trust.
  • Setting prices and choosing offers that align with your values and capacity.
  • Why a course isn’t necessarily the right next step for every therapist.
  • Using relationship-building, pitching, and networking to find new opportunities.
  • How to think about profitability, time freedom, and when to pivot away from work that no longer fits.

Outlasting the algorithm with Melanie Emlyn11 Sep 202600:39:58

Alicia talks with Mel Emlyn, a Calgary-based manual osteopath, certified nutritional practitioner, 500-hour registered yoga teacher, and wellness content creator, about what it really takes to use social media as a healthcare practitioner. They dig into the emotional side of showing up online, the business case for smaller engaged accounts, and how to create content that builds trust without letting the internet run your life.

Key topics
  • They discuss how Instagram has changed over time, and why creators should not force themselves into one format just because the algorithm is pushing it.
  • Alicia and Mel both talk about the value of experimenting with content types, including carousels, talking-head videos, b-roll, stories, and short series.
  • They unpack how creators can separate their self-worth from performance metrics, especially when a post flops or doesn’t get the reach they hoped for.
  • Mel explains why she sees social media as a business tool and a safeguard, not just a marketing vanity project.
  • They discuss how smaller, niche, highly engaged accounts can still convert well for practices, retreats, partnerships, and sponsorships.
  • Mel shares her rule for personal content: if she reveals something difficult, she tries to return later with a lesson or takeaway rather than simply unloading online.
  • Alicia and Mel close with practical advice for practitioners who are just starting out: be gentle, expect discomfort, show your face, and protect your energy with boundaries around app use.

  • She walks through the value of being able to clearly and confidently explain who you serve, what you do, and what outcomes your practice supports.
