19. Profits, Burnout & Nervous System-Smart Business: Real Talk with Staci Millard

What if building a profitable business could feel good and support your nervous system too?

In this honest episode, accountant and CEO of Thrive Accounting, Staci Millard, joins Jillian for a conversation that’s part finance, part embodiment, and all about redefining what success really looks like.

With raw reflections on burnout, boundary-setting, and how her own $400K business mistake became one of her greatest teachers, Staci opens up about building a values-led firm, empowering small businesses, and giving back—without sacrificing your peace. If you’ve ever struggled with the pressure to do more, be more, and earn more at the cost of your well-being, this one will land deep.

In this episode, we cover:

The 3 non-negotiables Staci believes every successful business needs
How Thrive Accounting restructured fees to prioritize impact and community
The math and mindset behind being profitable as a purpose-driven entrepreneur
What burnout taught Staci about boundaries and success
Sacred discipline and learning to find joy on the other side of discomfort
Using nervous system awareness in business decisions and communication
How to challenge yourself without falling into shame
Real talk on money scarcity, community support, and resilience after losing $400K
Why your greatest freedom might come from your biggest mistakes
