The patriarchal business world tells us to narrow ourselves, to focus only on what makes the most profit, but we are limitless beings. My work calls for every part of who I am, and I will not shrink to fit someone else’s idea of success. The practices I carry are part of who I am. They move through every step I take, every thought I have, and every conversation I hold. They will always be offered, even if they will not be a career focus.
A marketing specialist recently told me to cut back on my energetic work and focus only on marketing doula support… but these practices cannot be separated. The spiritual work, the birth work, the herbal work, and the products I create for my clients and community all feed each other. Removing one would diminish the whole. When I said I prefer to manage my own website and social media, I was met with a scoff but this work is intimate. People need to see me, not a brand.
In 2020, many energy workers, myself included, shifted our focus to practical, physical support. The world called for us and we answered, showing up with food, water, housing support, and the grounding presence people needed before deeper healing could take place. THIS is the core of my work.
I choose not to profit heavily from my energetic offerings, the exchange will always be fair and accessible. (Half the time it’s free!) I am not here to sell you snake oil. Movement of energy and healing of energy happens every day, in every interaction, if you allow it. In our conversations, in the touch of a hand, in the energy we choose to fill a room with.
This is what I mean when I say I follow the ways of matriarchal business. It measures success by how well you care for your people, your work, and yourself. It values connection, reciprocity, and the relationships we build over financial gain beyond what is truly needed. It also knows that no part of this work exists in isolation.
I will continue to offer what is mine to offer. This is not about what I gain…it’s also not about me being a bodhisattva…It is about honoring the work as a living, breathing part of my life. These practices are not separate from who I am, and they are not something I can set aside. They are the way I walk through the world, and they will remain as long as I do.
Cheers to healing our witch wounds. 💕
