The Fiscal Fitness Playbook: How To Transform Your Wellness Business To One That Serves Your Lifestyle


Ever Long For Less Uncertain Cash Flow in your Med Spa?


This week, Worth Your Salt host Jennifer Orechwa is getting into the things smart med spas know about smart money management with Shannon Simmons—founder of Fit For Profit, Certified Profit First Professional, and author of The Fiscal Fitness Playbook—to talk about the financial reality many wellness business owners quietly carry: a business that looks successful on the outside but still feels stressful, unpredictable, and underpaying behind the scenes. Shannon breaks down why this happens so often in gyms, studios, coaching practices, and wellness clinics, and she shares the mindset shift that has to come before any strategy will actually stick. If you’ve ever felt anxiety around cash flow, avoided looking at your numbers, or wondered why the money never seems to match the effort, this conversation will help you feel seen—and give you a clear way forward.

You’ll also learn Shannon’s practical approach to building a “fiscally fit” business: spotting the hidden leaks that quietly drain profit, protecting margins with simple cash-management systems, and using small, intentional adjustments to create real financial breathing room. Most importantly, Shannon shows listeners how to build a business that funds the owner’s ideal lifestyle instead of consuming it—without spreadsheets, overwhelm, or working harder. By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with actionable next steps you can implement right away, plus a clear invitation to connect with Shannon for deeper support if you’re ready to put a real plan in place.
