It wasn't confidence. It was capacity.
When I first created the Mysterium, I joined a few free workshops about how to sell courses. I learned the gist, but heard crickets when I promoted my things. There was interest, but no one ever “booked a call.”
After I built the whole course, I knew I needed to figure out how to fill my cohorts. So I took a gigantic leap. I’m talking about an $11k investment that turned into $15k. I figured out how these million-dollar coaches do it. Through the right ad placements, DM funnels, freebies, and more. I was booking calls and filled up four different 8-week cohorts.
But I was burnt out. By my third cohort, I was fried. My nervous system went out. I did it one more time with no ads, just DMs. This was the smallest cohort I ran, but I knew I was done.
Then I joined a few other groups of coaches who shared energetic practices to “hold more” and “charge more” for the results I was giving my clients. But there was a resistance in me that wasn’t just fear. It felt like a line I wasn’t willing to cross. How can I charge $5–6k for a program? Am I going against everything I stand for?
It took me three years after the initial course creation to understand this.
It wasn’t confidence I was missing. It was capacity.
Not just the capacity to hold clients but to hold money, visibility, projection, and the responsibility that comes with deeper initiation.
I’ve slowed everything down. Six months with my clients because this work needs time to take root. Not just scale intensity, but actually hold.
The wellness industry is moving toward the trillion-dollar mark each year. And most of it is being held by wyt practitioners charging sometimes $30k+ for a training or program, while facilitators are being overtrained and under-integrated.
Certified, but dysregulated. Skilled, but at capacity. Holding others, while quietly burning out.
What I am now understanding is that this is the bridge for the transfer of wealth. My ancestors have paid with their lives for freedom. My teachers have spent their lives helping others and were always provided for.
So no, this isn’t just about “charging more.”
It’s about being in right relationship with your work, your energy, and what you are actually resourced to hold.
Of course, I have entryway points and free support for my community. But I know there are people paying thousands for facilitation programs and still don’t know how to integrate what they carry, or how to sustain the work without it costing them their body or integrity.
That is what the Mysterium is now.
No longer individual shadow work integration, but high-touch shadow integration work that builds actual capacity at the level of the soul.
Because if your capacity doesn’t grow with your work, your work will eventually break you.
And I’m not interested in teaching people how to succeed at the cost of themselves.
But how to build profitable systems that feel good to you and to all of your relations.
If you’re already holding others…but you know your capacity isn’t matching what you’re being asked to carry, come inside.
This is where we build that.
