We hear it everywhere: “I’m on my healing journey.”
It’s almost become the new “I’m working on myself.”
But what the heck does healing even mean as an entrepreneur? Is it therapy? Is it crystals and sound baths? Is it crying in the shower between client calls? (Spoiler: it can be all of the above.)
But here’s the truth: healing is the hidden power move most entrepreneurs don’t talk about enough. And once you understand how it affects your business, your brand, and your entire life - you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
Let’s dive into what healing actually looks like, how to know if you need it, and why it might just be the ultimate business growth hack.
So... What Does “Healing” Actually Mean?
Healing isn’t about being perfect or fixing something that’s “wrong” with you.
It’s about becoming aware of what’s been unconsciously running the show - and choosing to upgrade.
It could be:
-
Releasing past traumas or limiting beliefs
-
Learning how to regulate your nervous system
-
Breaking toxic cycles like people pleasing or perfectionism
-
Redefining your worth outside of how “productive” you are
Healing is internal. But the results? External as hell.
How Do You Know If You Need to Heal?
You might need to pause and heal if:
-
You constantly compare yourself to others in the industry
-
You feel like an imposter no matter how much you achieve
-
You’re always burned out, but can’t stop the grind
-
You undercharge because you don’t believe you’re worth more
-
You procrastinate out of fear of judgment or failure
-
You feel disconnected from your purpose or passion
Sound familiar? Yeah... same.
Okay, But How Do You Actually Heal?
Healing doesn’t have to be this huge mystical process. It can look like:
1. Therapy or Coaching
Talking it out with someone trained to help you see your blind spots = game changer.
2. Journaling
Get honest on paper. Ask yourself: Where am I playing small? What am I afraid of? What did younger me believe about success?
3. Reparenting Yourself
Basically, give yourself what you didn’t get growing up - encouragement, safety, support, boundaries.
4. Nervous System Work
Things like breath work, meditation, or somatic exercises help regulate the part of you that goes into survival mode every time you try to raise your prices.
5. Inner Child Healing
This sounds woo, but it’s powerful. The scared little kid inside of you? Yeah, they’re the one freaking out when you hit “post” or launch something new.
Why Does Healing Matter for Your Business?
Here’s the tea: Your business is a mirror.
Whatever you haven’t dealt with? It’s showing up:
-
In your content
-
In your pricing
-
In your client relationships
-
In your leadership
-
In your self-sabotage
When you start healing, you:
-
Speak with more confidence
-
Attract aligned clients (not just anyone with a wallet)
-
Set boundaries without guilt
-
Market without fear
-
Create from your heart, not your insecurities
-
Stop grinding just to prove your worth
It’s not just about mindset - it’s about embodiment.
When you heal, you stop building a business out of survival... and start building one from your power.
Final Thoughts: Healing is the Business Strategy No One Talks About
Yes, strategies, sales funnels, and branding matter.
But none of it sticks without self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence in who you are.
So if you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like your business isn’t reflecting your full potential - don’t just work harder.
Heal.
Because when you do? You don’t just evolve as a business owner - you evolve as a human.
And that’s the real flex.
Want a healing journey that aligns with your business goals, your purpose, and your peace? Start with one small step.
Let’s normalize healing as part of entrepreneurship because the most magnetic, successful version of you is already in there. It’s just waiting to be unblocked.
