If you’re a service provider consistently making $5k–$10k months but still feel stretched, capped, or unsure how to grow without burning out, this episode of Dalaina is for you.

In this episode, Dalaina breaks down why this income stage often feels heavier instead of freeing—and why so many freelancers get stuck here longer than they expect. You’ll learn why more clients and more hustle don’t create sustainable growth, and what actually needs to change to move past this plateau.

This episode is for service providers who are ready to stop relying on constant output and start building a business that scales with structure and intention.
