You've heard the advice: once your business scales, drop the 1:1s. Focus on leverage. Build your groups. But what if that's not the whole story? In this episode, I share why I've kept private client work at the heart of my business — even as everything else has grown — and why it continues to fuel not just my revenue, but my joy, skillset, and thought leadership.

If you've ever questioned whether 1:1 work is still "worth it," or felt torn between group scalability and the intimacy of private sessions, this conversation will offer clarity, permission, and a fresh perspective. 1:1 work isn't just something to graduate from — it might be the very thing that elevates everything else you do.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why 1:1 work is deeply soul-satisfying (when you have the right skills)

• The types of clients who truly need a private container

• How your 1:1 skills improve your curriculum and group facilitation

• The powerful role 1:1 work plays in your marketing and messaging

• Why private sessions can be a secret incubator for your best ideas

Whether you're in love with your 1:1 work or wondering if it's time to let it go, this episode will help you reconnect to what matters most in your practice — and trust the business model that's truly aligned with your strengths.
