In this episode, I share something most practitioners never admit out loud: I almost walked away from my practice. Not once, not twice, but enough times that I stopped counting.

This isn’t just a story about burnout—it’s about the deeper identity crisis that hits when you realize being a good practitioner isn’t enough to keep a business running. It’s about the exhausting split between “the work” and “the business,” and the false story that those two roles are fundamentally at odds.

We’ll talk about:

The unspoken pressure to be two different people
Why sending invoices or raising your rates feels so uncomfortable
The quiet belief that you’re just not cut out for business
And what shifts when you stop seeing business and care as opposites

If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between being good at healing or good at business—or like you’re constantly failing at both—this one’s for you.
