I Finally Had 70 Clients. Then I Walked Away.

Two months ago, I hit what I thought was the dream:
70 clients on my roster.
Fully booked.
So full, in fact, that new clients had to wait weeks just to get a session with me.
I had “made it.”

But here’s the truth no one tells you:
“Success” can burn you out just as much as failure.

I loved all of my clients. I had worked incredibly hard to get here.
Plus, I found my work extremely meaningful.
But how could I possibly get to know all 70 of them deeply?
How could I do the kind of transformational, deep work I believe in — when my energy was spread across dozens of people?

I felt proud… but I also felt stretched thin, disconnected, and exhausted.
I burned out — in work I deeply cared about. 🕯️

The worried that I wouldn’t be able to serve any of my clients properly.
The “success” wasn’t serving me properly either.

So I did something that felt almost unthinkable:
📩 I let them go.

I told my clients I couldn’t keep them all on my roster.
It was hard. It was sad. Yet it was a good decision for me and for my work.

Because in the letting go, something opened up.
I created space to choose the niche that lights me up.
I made room to go deeper with fewer clients.
I started learning and growing in ways I couldn’t before.
I saw myself as someone who can, in fact, let go of “success.”

And I finally followed the advice I give others all the time:
→ Choose what brings you the most JOY,
→ because that’s where you can CONTRIBUTE the most, and
→ it creates ROOM to receive other amazing things in store for you.

Letting go can be scary, but it creates space for something new; something unique. A chance to broaden your horizon.

Success isn’t about having it all.
It’s about choosing what helps you EXPAND.
