Scaling your business is often portrayed as this sexy, glamorous evolution—but the reality is so much deeper (and messier). In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually happens when you start to grow: emotionally, structurally, and spiritually. This is the truth about scaling—unfiltered.

Emily Otto discusses the essential truths of scaling a business, particularly for healers and entrepreneurs. She emphasizes the importance of moving away from hourly rates to create comprehensive packages that provide lasting transformation. Emily highlights the need for personal growth, resilience, and confidence in order to stand in one's power while scaling. She also addresses the significance of hiring support, building a team, and maintaining a long-term vision for sustainable growth. The conversation is rich with insights on how to navigate the challenges of scaling while remaining true to one's mission and values.
