Hello, hello, and welcome everybody to this special drop-in episode and announcement.

I am so excited to share with you the newest addition to the BGH Sheena Lache family that I've been working on the background that I've been praying about, that I've been waiting for the right time to introduce it, and that new addition is a new podcast and it's called The Business of Healing.

So at the end of last year, I started to, some of you, if you've kind of binge the podcast or if you've been listening for a while, you would know that there were several episodes near the second half of last year where I was attempting to weave in some of the unique experiences of being a professional healer, right?

So what does it look like to build a business, the things that come up for you, the thoughts that you have, the self-belief that you need, the boundaries that you need.

I mean, I didn't really go into actual business practices and things to consider here on the podcast because it just felt like it didn't quite fit, you know, we talk about healing and we talk about emotions and we talk about trauma here, so to weave that in, it just didn't make sense, but I started to talk about those things because for years I had, I had had, and I do have women who have reached out for, you know, mentorship and for wanting to pick my brain and for consultations and just really interested in what I've built.

And the process is behind it, either because they're just starting out or they're in the same place that I am and they're just wanting to connect, right? They're just wanting to build community.

And so I woven a few of those episodes and then of course, you know, launch the healer mastermind. However, you know, I had some feedback from some folks when I was talking about really wanting to talk about this, this experience as a professional healer and provide the access and resource.

And that we're encouraging me to just talk about it here, right? I already have of all the people who listen to this podcast and really good number of y'all are also healers.

If not professionals as far as therapists, counselors and coaches and spiritual teachers, but you are healers in your everyday life, whether or not you work in the school system or whether or not you're a massage therapist or you are taking care of women behind the chair while you're doing their hair or, you know, whether or not you're the safe space in your friend group or in the neighborhood.

There are so many of y'all who are healers, even if it's not, you don't have specific letters behind your name that says that, right? And so talking about those things here felt like even if there's so many of y'all here who are listening, who are listening, it felt like you'll be taking us off topic to go from my love addiction and trauma and interhealing and self development to now let's talk about these things as well.

So I really struggled with that for a little bit. And so the sabbatical that I had to take for my health, the force sabbatical that it ended up having to take for my health and closing on my programs for a minute really did some good good work to in that idea right that everything is happening for you, not to you, but for you and that it gave me space to to heal in a lot of ways and to think and to examine and look at what is it that I want why I want it and really look at testing.

My own voice and trusting on what works for me and looking at what is my path versus the path that others may suggest and one of the things that emerged from that is I do want to create another space for other healers to get that insight to get that support and to talk about the integration of business with your self development with your sense of self with your relationships.

So that is what this podcast is going to be is going to be me talking about what does it look like to build a business as a healer while also balancing your own self development work your own self belief, your own relationships, your relationship with your business, your relationship with burnout, your relationship with others and integrating all that together.

And so here is the trailer for the podcast you can go ahead and subscribe now there's already an episode of that talks about the three pillars that we're going to be talking about on this podcast which are building our business our beliefs and our boundaries and then more about my backstory and my history.

So if you have ever been interested in what has brought me to this place professionally and the things that I have done and that I'm currently doing then that is going to be a great episode for you to listen to so go ahead check it out.

So that's it for now and without any further ado I would love to introduce you to the business of healing podcast.

As an author, podcaster, former therapist and love addiction coach who has built a successful private practice and online coaching business, I've learned a lot about what it takes to make a business worth as a healer and a professional and as a woman committed to being a better person, lover and friend, I've learned a lot about what it means to heal and grow and be my best self.

And the business of healing podcast, I will talk about what happens when these worlds collide.

What does it look like to build a successful business as a therapist and healer? How does self esteem impact entrepreneurship and vice versa?

How does one actively heal in a public eye as they're teaching others to do the same?

And where does one place the boundaries of love, family, life and relationships, along with the boundaries with clients, students, patients, and even for those of us who have customers who become our friends?
