Healers can't fix us. Why? Because we're not broken!

But they can remind us that we're whole – and that our path to healing comes from within. Healing is an inside job. (Hence the title of this podcast episode 😉 ).

Plagued by decades of depression and a stubborn autoimmune disease, today's guest embarked on a self-care bender — immersing herself in every holistic treatment and spiritual practice she could get her hands on!

From shamanic journeys to chakra balancing, silk cocoons to sound baths… what she found along the way was a whole lotta love and peace.

Plus, she discovered that other people craved the same kind of time-honored wisdom from holistic practitioners but didn't know where to find them or who to trust. Soon, an online business idea flourished.

On today's episode of "And She Spoke," we talk about virtual healing with Elizabeth Kendig.

She is a popular beauty blogger turned podcaster turned founder of Healers Wanted — a community and marketplace platform offering spiritual guidance through different modalities using trusted practitioners. We discuss some things that led her to this online business transformation:

Transitioning from Top 20 Pinner on Pinterest into the wellness industry
How her Healers podcast grew to over 700k downloads
Paying attention to the signs on when to pivot

Spiritual and holistic practices enable us to connect with ourselves on a deeper level.

And it's at our core where our innermost desires live...

They can lead us to new businesses, relationships, and profound happiness!

Here’s a peek at what else we discuss:

How starting over isn’t really ‘starting over’
Why she feels uneasy about selling something that she believes everyone needs
Finding purpose beyond the beauty industry
Shifting her identity in a big, public (and personal) way
The nitty-gritty about revenue share, pricing independent contractors, and the most popular modality on the site.
And soooooo much more!

Know Your Numbers

In our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability. Knowing your numbers is an essential aspect of building a successful business and inherent responsibility for any entrepreneur.

What you focus on grows, so pay attention to your money.

We use Bench for our bookkeeping. It's simple, elegant, and saves us so many hours that would otherwise be spent neck-deep in receipts on the other side of a spreadsheet.

Each month our transactions are automatically imported into Bench and we get on-demand financial reports. We even enjoy opening up our profit and loss statement to review each month. When tax time comes around, we are up to date and ready to go. And this is what Financial Empowerment feels like.
