Unsure of which direction to take next in your career?

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you’re standing at a crossroads, unsure of which direction to take next in your career? Maybe you’re wondering what your next service should be, which education path to follow, or what new treatments to add to your menu. If you’re nodding your head right now, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there—burdened with so many options and responsibilities that we end up feeling paralyzed, unable to move forward.

Here’s the thing: our work isn’t just about the physical act of treating skin. It’s about the energy we bring into the room, the passion we infuse into every service, and the connection we build with our clients. But how do you tap into that energy, that passion, when you’re feeling overwhelmed and, well, stuck?

I’ve found that the key lies in understanding the mind-body connection. We work on people every single day, and that means we also absorb a lot of their energy—sometimes more than we realize. You know what I’m talking about: you come home after a long day, and you’re snappy or drained, not because of something you did, but because of what you’ve taken on from others. Maybe a client shared something deeply emotional, and now that energy is lingering with you. It’s vital to clear this energy, to recognize what’s yours and what’s not, so you can reignite that fire within you.

You see, you can’t get unstuck until you feel passionate again. And the way I know whether to add something new or pursue further education is by tuning into that fire in my belly. It’s that immediate, undeniable feeling of, “I must know more about this. I have to offer this service. I don’t care what it costs—I need to bring this into my practice.” That kind of passion is your internal compass, guiding you toward the right decisions for your business.

But here’s the catch: you can’t feel that fire if you’re numbing yourself out. And let’s be honest—we often do just that. We get so caught up in the grind, trying to handle everything, that we end up disconnecting from our emotions, avoiding those low lows so we don’t have to feel the discomfort. But in doing so, we also miss out on the high highs, those moments of pure inspiration that fuel our passion.

It’s essential to stop numbing and start feeling. Allow yourself to experience both the highs and lows because that’s where you’ll find clarity. That’s where you’ll rediscover your passion and let your gut guide your business decisions.

We’re constantly bombarded with information—social media, endless options, blue light from our screens—and it’s easy to feel like we’re not doing enough. But the truth is, we need to get centered. We need to listen to how our body, our soul, and our heart feel. One way to do this is by making sure we’re carrying our energy, not the energy of others.

Remember those real-life stories clients share with us? They can weigh us down, make us cling to our children a little tighter, or leave us feeling drained. It’s crucial to cleanse that energy and ensure we’re not carrying it around with us. Only then can we truly get unstuck, reignite our passion, and continue doing the work we love with the energy and enthusiasm it deserves.

So, next time you feel stuck, take a moment to pause. Clear your energy, reconnect with your passion, and let that fire in your belly guide your next move.

With love and light,
