Self-Worth in Action

communication healing self worth Jun 19, 2026

Whenever I set an intention for the month - in Spiritual Collective - I usually work through it myself 😉 No surprise 😉

SELF-WORTH!!!

This is what happened... 

I had a lady who booked a two-hour healing session with me. We had a 30-minute conversation beforehand, with all the details. On the day of the session, she didn't show up -- no text, no call. Silence ...

It happened a few times before - with other clients. Not the exact scenario, but a variation of it. 

Only this time, I really went out of my way to prepare for the session. We had just renovated and created a new healing space. I was taking care of the final details for the session. I also hired a babysitter for the kids. 

And silence is what I received? Not even the courtesy of a cancellation call? 

I had some emotions ... you bet! 

After talking it through with a friend, this is what I realized: 
I did NOT communicate my needs beforehand. 

Ouch! 

As highly sensitive people, we do it often: 
Not wanting to bother others with our needs. 

Assuming others automatically know our needs. 

What if they think I am too difficult? 

I sat down and became clear about what I actually need:  

- For all new clients, I ask for the first session to be prepaid.

- I inform all new clients about my cancellation policy (48 hours). 

It's quite simple, actually - not too complicated. But clarity is GOLD!!!! 

You know what happened? 

Just a few days later, a new client inquired. I communicated with clarity. 

They pre-paid me. 

That's it.

Simple.

Clear.

Working. 

I enjoyed having a session with them. 

Self-worth in action! 

You know where the trip-up happens? 

feeling you don't deserve it

staying stuck in hurt and identifying with a role of a victim. 
agreeing with how people treat you. Thinking that your self-worth is externally sourced. Measuring your self-worth by external events. Instead of taking your power back - to yourself. And moving forward from a centered place.  

not communicating. 

Let's dive deeper in the upcoming SELF-WORTH group healing session.
