In this episode, we're back with powerhouse Canadian therapist and coach Olethea Pimenta, who went from undercharging at $130 to confidently billing $385 per session—up to three times a week, all cash-pay.

She's living proof that your business can love you back.

Olethea breaks down the mindset, money work, and structural shifts it took to prioritize her own joy, rest, and parenting while delivering premium, transformational therapy in a socialized healthcare system.

This episode is packed with wisdom and a hell of a reframe: your business should be a nourishing relationship, not a hustle for survival.

In this episode, Olethea shares:

Why growing up without resources led her to recreate scarcity in her business—and how she rewired that;

How she replaced burnout and survival-mode with a business that feels like a rich auntie (yes please);

The massive shifts she made after having her daughter, including hiring a nanny and a night doula;

What it takes to break free from the collective therapist scarcity story—and why her business now funds freedom, not fear;

Her signature question to check your business attachment style: "Does your business love you back?"
