This episode is short — but it is deep.

In this powerful follow-up, Austeen Heeney and I talk about what it really means to honor your worth, lead from embodiment, and stop waiting until you're “ready.” We explore the link between burnout and undercharging, name the real fears that keep us from launching, and challenge the idea that healing must be complete before you begin.

This one’s for the woman who’s sitting on an offering, an idea, a retreat — and just needs that nudge to trust herself and make the leap.

Episode Highlights

• [0:00] – Mirror work & why judgment is part of the process

• [3:45] – You can’t know yourself without spending time with yourself

• [6:20] – “If you’re burnt out, you’re probably not charging enough”

• [9:30] – The emotional labor behind your pricing

• [12:05] – Investment wounds & why people hesitate to trust

• [15:30] – You don’t have to be healed to begin

• [17:00] – Making the leap: The retreat story, and divine timing

• [18:45] – A closing blessing for Austeen (and you)

  
  

  Takeaways

• Burnout is often a pricing issue, not a passion issue

• Self-trust is built through small leaps, not perfection

• Your work holds power — but your nervous system needs to be resourced to offer it

• You’re allowed to charge for the entirety of what you hold

• Don’t wait to be “ready” — leap, and let the healing meet you there
