Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What am I protecting? đ¤â
â
Thereâs a part of us that believes if we keep certain truths hiddenâabout who we are, what weâve done, or how we feelâweâre somehow safer.â
â
We think it shields us from judgment, rejection, or loss. đâ
â
But is that really true?â
â
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.â
â
And hereâs what you may not have realized: Secrets donât just keep you from others, they keep you from yourself. đâ
â
They encourage us to build a false identity, one that is constantly managed and controlled.â
â
Whatâs even more heartbreaking is how this impacts our relationships. The walls we build to protect ourselves also keep others at armâs length.â
â
Genuine connection requires vulnerability. đŤâ
â
Real safety doesnât come from hiding. It comes from being fully seen.â
â
The very thing you think youâre protecting yourself from (rejection, judgment, failureâŚ) is actually the thing holding you back from the life you truly want.â
â
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? đď¸â

Your pricing should not be based on your self-esteemâŚ
You are worth more than any đ° amount!
Pricing should reflect the transformation you offer, the expertise you bring, and the impact you make on your clientsâ livesânot how you feel about yourself on any given day.
When you set your rates:
đĄ Focus on the results your clients achieve through your coaching.
đĄ Remember the time and energy youâve invested in honing your craft.
đĄ Donât forget the ripple effect of the work you doâhow it touches not just your clients, but their communities and workplaces too.
Pricing isnât about proving your value; itâs about honoring it. Youâre not just selling coaching sessionsâyouâre offering life-changing results.
So, letâs drop the self-doubt and charge what your work is truly worth. â¨
