#91. The Secret Shame Too Many Healers Carry - and How to Change It.

Feb 13 2024 • 42 mins

As a therapist, I’ve often felt like my job was to say out loud what everyone in the room was thinking but no one could say.

I’ve learned over time that - as uncomfortable as that can be in the moment - it helps sooooo much to just say it out loud.

Because here’s the thing.

We can’t change anything if we keep hiding what’s wrong.

If we’ve got a problem and we don’t tell anyone, or even worse, barely admit it to ourselves, we can’t do anything about it. Right?

Not only that - we often find that a lot of other people have the very same problem - which means we’re not so crazy after all.

And that same principle applies to our business.

It’s no wonder that so many therapists, healers and other wellness professionals are suffering in their private practice. Most of us have little or no business training or experience. And all of us are trained to put our clients first - even if it’s to our own detriment.

Add to that the fact that we are shamed for wanting to make $ at ALL, and you’ve got a recipe for burnout, disappointment and a business that is nothing like you wanted it to be.

So that's what I want to talk about today.

In this episode, you’ll hear not only about some of the struggles I’ve had as a private practice owner, but those that I see way too many of you suffering with as well.

I think you’ll find that whatever your hidden challenges as a business owner may be, you have a lot more company than you think.

But I want to change that. I don’t want you to suffer through private practice. I want you to enjoy it.

So I’ve got a solution. Full disclosure: in today’s episode you’ll also hear about EVOLVE, a really special experience I’ve created that will help you feel a whole lot better about things and that I hope you’ll consider being a part of.

I invite you to tune in, and just hear what I’ve got to say.

Much love,
