Episode 17: Why Not Me? Busting Through Imposter Syndrome for Bodyworkers with Michelle Ratz-McGuire - Sustainable Bodyworker Podcast
Ever catch yourself looking at another massage therapist’s success and thinking, “Okay, but why not me?” If imposter syndrome or comparison spirals have you stuck, this conversation with Michelle Ratz McGuire is the real talk you need. Gretchen shares her own experience of coaching ambitious, burned-out bodyworkers—including what it’s like to be seen as “the expert” when, behind the scenes, you’re still wrestling with doubts and old patterns. Together, they dig into what actually moves the needle on confidence (hint: it’s rarely taking yet another course), and why the tiniest, gutsy actions—like sitting with hard questions, saying your big dream out loud, or rewriting the limiting stories in your head—matter way more than perfect plans.

Michelle gets honest about building her teaching career from the ground up, the hours spent stuck in fear-brain, and what helped her finally trust that she—and every practitioner listening—already has what it takes to shake things up. If you’re tired of waiting to “feel ready,” or if you catch yourself shrinking back from dream-big moves, you’ll find permission here to get a little messier, show up anyway, and remember that your work has ripple effects far beyond what you can see now.
