Inner Healing to Grow Your Ethical Business

In this soulful episode, I’m joined by healing guide Betty Cottam Bertels to explore how the blocks we face in business often stem from unhealed childhood wounds.

We talk about why part of us might resist the success we say we want, how patterns like perfectionism and procrastination are actually protective, and how tools like hypnosis and parts work can help us shift deeply and quickly.

This conversation is an invitation for quietly rebellious entrepreneurs to bring more compassion, clarity, and ease into their business — by starting with the healing within.

In this episode we discussed:

• How Betty’s journey into inner healing began with an unexpected emotional release and how it now shapes her work with entrepreneurs
• Why feelings of “stuckness” in business are often rooted in unprocessed childhood experiences or early beliefs
• The subtle ways our unhealed inner child shows up in business through patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and people-pleasing
• How to “update the software” of old protective patterns by dialoguing with the parts of us still running outdated beliefs
• Why deep healing doesn’t have to take years, and how working at the subconscious level can lead to fast, lasting shifts
• How hypnosis helps quiet the conscious mind so we can access and release the real root of our blocks
• What it feels like to start running your business from a healed, grounded adult self, with stronger boundaries and more ease
• How aligned, empowered decision-making becomes possible when we’re no longer operating from wounded places
• One gentle first step you can take this week if you recognize yourself in this conversation
• A sneak peek of what Betty will guide us through in the live workshop on September 3rd, 5pm CET, 11am EST.
