You want to grow. You want to reach more people, serve more deeply, make your work financially sustainable.
But not if it costs your values. Not if it fries your nervous system. Not if it costs your soul.
If you've ever watched other practitioners scale their businesses and thought, "I want to grow, but not like that" - this episode is for you.
This is Episode 3 of our From Therapist to Visionary mini-series, where we're tackling the biggest fear of all: scaling without selling out.
What You'll Learn:
- The unspoken fears therapists carry around growth and why visibility feels dangerous
- 3 ethical traps that sabotage well-meaning therapists when scaling
- What "scaling" actually means (hint: it's not just more sales)
- How to define your own version of "enough" before someone else does
- Programs that honor your capacity and pricing that balances access with sustainability
- The Scaling with Soul Self-Audit to ensure your growth aligns with your values
This Episode is for You If:
→ You want to grow but are terrified of "selling out"
→ You've seen other practitioners scale in ways that felt wrong
→ You're ready to scale on your own terms, not someone else's blueprint
The Scaling with Soul Self-Audit:
- What am I scaling for?
- What does "enough" look like for me?
- Do my current offers, pricing, and support match my nervous system and values?
