Do you ever wonder if you could really make more money by following a proven formula? Have you been promised a quick income boost but ended up feeling disappointed when the results didn’t match your expectations?
I totally get it. I’ve been there. In this episode, I share the raw, real story of my first coaching program where I followed all the steps and still didn’t hit the financial goal. But through deep personal healing, I realized the true power didn’t lie in external success—it came from within. It came from cultivating an embodied sense of safety, regulating my nervous system, and learning emotional resilience. If you’re tired of tying your self-worth to your income, this episode is for you.
Listen to:
- Discover how to stop tying your worth and success to income milestones and start finding security within yourself.
- Learn how regulating your nervous system and building emotional resilience can help you handle growth without burnout.
- Understand why sustainable success comes from internal shifts, not external validation or quick wins.
So, can I guarantee you’ll make more money if we work together? No. And I won’t pretend I can.
What I can guarantee is this:
- You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system so that fear doesn’t run the show.
- You’ll build the emotional resilience to handle growth without burning out.
- You’ll shift from chasing external validation to creating success that feels steady, not fragile.
- You’ll gain strategies rooted in sustainability, not just quick wins.
And when you have those tools, making more money doesn’t feel like a desperate scramble. It feels like a natural byproduct of showing up fully, clearly, and confidently in your work.

📍 Somebody asked me recently. How can you guarantee that I will make more money if I work with you? I get it. You're asking yourself the same question. Probably. I've asked people that I've worked with that same question either out loud or in my head. 📍
And I remember the first coaching program I ever joined, it was one of those ones where I was the, I was yoga teacher at the time and it was like, Oh, I'll teach you how to turn your yoga business into a coaching business. And the coach blatantly, very out loud, promised that I would make a certain amount of money within three months.
A lot of programs do this. It sounded really bold and really exciting, and we tapped into my dreams, and it really felt like all I needed to do was follow the steps that she suggested to me, do the work, and I'd hit the goal. Makes sense, kind of. Thing is, myself and all the other people in the program did follow the steps.
We did do the work, and we did not hit the goals. Instead, I'd lost my voice. Literally. I spiraled into self doubt. I thought maybe I was broken or I thought that I wasn't good enough to succeed and I was, I was, I was frustrated with her. I was angry with myself. I was disappointed. I felt like I had failed and I kind of thought, well, maybe I'm not cut out of this.
And I just kept going because I didn't really know what else to do. But for months, I felt that disappointment in my body like heavy, heavy stone. And it didn't really shake my faith in coaching because I was able to be coaching really wonderful individuals. So I was seeing the changes it was making, but it shook all of my faith in myself.
That kind of sat there. Then years later, after, you know, I'd done all of my own healing, I sent her a message to say thank you for that. for that experience. I didn't feel like I was blaming her at any point, but I was, I realized that I wasn't hurt because of the money and not making what she said that I would, but because I had in that moment tied all of my worth, my success, and my sense of security, and I'm okay in the world to something that I couldn't control.
And we do that. That's why we have anxious attachments. That's why we're so we have such big emotional ups and downs with our work and The thing is I did actually get the sense of confidence security and clarity that I thought that money would give me But it didn't come from hitting that income income milestone It came from the deeper work the work that a lot of people want to either don't know about or want to avoid which is trauma healing, which is regulation, which is finding emotional resilience.
It's these internal shifts that make success sustainable and not fragile. It's returning to an embodied sense of safety, which is a podcast that I have either coming out, I can't remember, or it's already out. Um, so what I can help you with and what I do help many individuals with is to return to that embodied sense of safety.
I can't guarantee the amount of money that you're going to make when we work together. I couldn't, neither you nor I control all of those steps and I won't pretend that I can, but what I can guarantee is that you will learn how to regulate your nervous system so that fear doesn't run the show. You will build the emotional resilience to handle growth without burning out.
You will shift from chasing external validation to creating success that feels steady, not fragile. And you will gain strategies rooted in sustainability, not just quick wins.
