Episode 25: The Stickiness of Making Money in a Helping Profession, with Vicky Bellman

As a therapist your nervous system needs to feel safe and you can do something about this with your pricing. Hear how this is important in the fat inclusive space from the amazing Vicky Bellman, a counsellor that incorporates health at any size, intuitive eating, from a trauma informed perspective and a feminist world view! Her dream to be a barefoot caftan wearing hut dweller is close to a reality and that sounds just wonderful! This week Vicky brings fat inclusive space, the love of pork and steamed rice and great handbag tips!

When this kind of growth is new terrain it comes with some bumps and we get to hear her reflect on how she is making better decisions and changing pace in her business in 2021.
