One of the heartbreaking issues in the wellness industry is that skillful coaches, healers, and therapists often have underdeveloped muscles when it comes to attracting or sustaining enough clients to earn a living wage. Over time, even the most gifted practitioners can find it challenging to maintain the health of their practice. I know, I’ve been there several times.
When Fear Creeps In
If you’re feeling worried or distracted by global turmoil, your own rising bills or debt, or rapidly shrinking savings, it’s only natural. Your attention—both conscious and unconscious—gets pulled. And that can subtly affect your ability to keep the sacred space between you and your clients clean and clear.
It’s a daunting prospect, especially when your client base already feels shaky and your foundation seems to be slipping even more.
You Are in a Learning Moment
In moments like this, the work is to stay grounded. Nurture a healthy inner world (watch for those sneaky inner critics), and remember:
This is an opportunity to observe your thoughts, words, and actions with curiosity and compassion.
You’re learning how you respond to constraint—and that awareness is powerful.
When you’re resourced, you’re able to serve. Making a living supports making a difference.
