Let's talk income transparency again, but this time we're talking yoga.

I've shared what income looks like within my private practice, but therapy isn't the only work I do.

I've been teaching yoga for 10 years, and it's remained an important part of my life and career even as my private practice has grown.

So, in the spirit of continuing to have transparent conversations about money, I'm sharing exactly what I earned teaching yoga during the month of July.

Fitness and wellness spaces can sometimes carry the same message as helping professions: You should do this because you love it.

And I DO love it.

But loving the work doesn't mean we can't also talk honestly about compensation, time, and what makes this work sustainable.

If you're curious about teaching yoga, working as a fitness instructor, or how I balance this alongside private practice, leave me your questions below. I'd love to keep pulling back the curtain.

This is simply my personal experience. Pay varies significantly depending on location, studio, experience, class type, and other factors.

Sometimes you don't realize how ready you are for something new until you finally let something old end.

Closing this door was unexpected. I didn't know exactly what the next chapter would look like.

It was just time.

And on the other side has been more freedom, alignment, confidence, and excitement about the work I'm building than I could have imagined.

I think we spend so much time trying to guarantee that the next step will work out before we're willing to take it.

Sometimes you can't.

Sometimes you just have to trust yourself enough to close the door and be open to whatever is to come next.

Give yourself the chance to discover what's waiting on the other side.

Not me forgetting I'm supposed to be helping rather than just watching it all unfold.

Wait wait wait…what did they just say?!

When the tea is piping hot but unfortunately you have a clinical responsibility to the people spilling it.

Don't worry, I come back and help them figure out the cycle.

Boundaries have a way of showing us a lot about our relationships.

When you start saying no, protecting your time, asking for what you need, or simply becoming less available, not everyone is going to like it.

And sometimes the people who have the biggest reaction are the ones who were likely benefiting from you having fewer boundaries.

That doesn't automatically make them bad people. Change can be uncomfortable, especially when a relationship has operated a certain way for a long time.

But pay attention to what happens next.

The people who genuinely care about you may need time to adjust, but they can learn to respect your boundaries.

Because healthy relationships aren't built around what you can provide for someone else.

They're built around two people being allowed to have needs, limits, and boundaries of their own.

Let's talk about what happens AFTER the money comes in.

I previously shared my June private practice income and broke down where that revenue came from. But gross income is only part of the story.

So I'm coming back to June to share what happened next: what I paid in taxes and what I contributed to my 401(k).

One of the things that intimidated me most about going into private practice was figuring out the financial side of running a business. Taxes, retirement, expenses, inconsistent income, etc.
Where was the class about running a business in grad school!?

And I think more transparency around the realities of private practice can make the leap feel a little less mysterious.

You can build a practice that supports your clients AND supports you financially. You just have to learn how to actually run the business behind it.

If you're a therapist considering private practice, what part of the financial side feels the most confusing or intimidating to you?

Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing that exhaustion meant we were doing something right.

That if we were always busy, always available, always saying yes, we were successful.

That ain't the life I want to subscribe to anymore.

The older I get, the more therapists I talk to, the more I believe success looks a lot less like constant productivity and a lot more like having enough energy left for the people and things you love.

It's okay to log off.

It's okay to protect your evenings.

It's okay to say no.

It's okay to stop chasing more.

It's okay to build a business, career, or life that actually supports your well-being instead of demanding you sacrifice it.

That's the definition of success I want.

Which one hit you the hardest?
