Gretchen provides valuable insights on discerning the compromises we make to feel secure and how to break those psychological agreements. This episode is a journey of self-discovery, self-transformation, and healing.

The Swipe Right Effect Podcast: Gretchen Hydo on Embracing Change and Breaking Free from Secrets

One of the central themes of this week’s The Swipe Right Effect Podcast is breaking free from the burden of secrets. CK Collins and her guest, Gretchen Hydo, encourage listeners to explore their secrets, no matter how big or small, and understand the impact of their childhood conditioning and self-limiting beliefs. The key to shedding secrets lies in accepting and forgiving oneself, and gradually revealing these secrets to safe individuals who can offer support and understanding. By releasing shame and guilt associated with secrets, individuals can move towards healing and embracing their true selves.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What am I protecting? 🤔⁠
⁠
There’s a part of us that believes if we keep certain truths hidden—about who we are, what we’ve done, or how we feel—we’re somehow safer.⁠
⁠
We think it shields us from judgment, rejection, or loss. 😔⁠
⁠
But is that really true?⁠
⁠
What often feels like protection is actually something much more limiting: a false sense of safety. The very secrets we keep to protect ourselves from harm end up building walls that cut us off from the deeper connection, freedom, and authenticity we crave.⁠
⁠
And here’s what you may not have realized: Secrets don’t just keep you from others, they keep you from yourself. 🔒⁠
⁠
They encourage us to build a false identity, one that is constantly managed and controlled.⁠
⁠
What’s even more heartbreaking is how this impacts our relationships. The walls we build to protect ourselves also keep others at arm’s length.⁠
⁠
Genuine connection requires vulnerability. 🫂⁠
⁠
Real safety doesn’t come from hiding. It comes from being fully seen.⁠
⁠
The very thing you think you’re protecting yourself from (rejection, judgment, failure…) is actually the thing holding you back from the life you truly want.⁠
⁠
So, my friend, what are your secrets costing you? And how much more alive, connected, and free could you be if you let them go? 🕊️⁠

Your pricing should not be based on your self-esteem…

You are worth more than any 💰 amount!

Pricing should reflect the transformation you offer, the expertise you bring, and the impact you make on your clients’ lives—not how you feel about yourself on any given day.

When you set your rates:

💡 Focus on the results your clients achieve through your coaching.

💡 Remember the time and energy you’ve invested in honing your craft.

💡 Don’t forget the ripple effect of the work you do—how it touches not just your clients, but their communities and workplaces too.

Pricing isn’t about proving your value; it’s about honoring it. You’re not just selling coaching sessions—you’re offering life-changing results.

So, let’s drop the self-doubt and charge what your work is truly worth. ✨
