5 Signs You're a Gifted Healer or Coach Who's Secretly Blocking Your Own Success

Do you ever find yourself hesitating just as you're about to hit publish on that post, launch your program, or raise your prices? You're not imagining it, and you are far from alone.

As gifted healers and coaches, we excel at spotting the blocks holding our clients back. But here’s the catch: The more powerful your gifts are, the sneakier your own self-sabotage becomes.

I call this the Sabotage Shadow, an invisible inner force that thinks it’s protecting you, but is actually keeping you stuck playing small. Unlike obvious self-sabotage, this shadow works so quietly and cleverly that most soulpreneurs don’t even realize it’s running the show behind the scenes.

How can you tell if your Sabotage Shadow is secretly calling the shots? Watch for these five unmistakable signs:

• You’re stuck in a “getting ready to get ready” cycle. Your programs never feel quite perfect enough to launch. You tweak your website endlessly, research obsessively, and polish nonstop. Your Sabotage Shadow tells you this perfectionism is about quality, but really, it’s keeping you hidden.
• Brilliant ideas stay trapped in your journal. You have inspired concepts, content, and visions, but they never leave the planning stage. The shadow whispers “not yet” or “someone else is already doing that," stopping your unique medicine from reaching those who need it most.
• You undercharge despite knowing your value. Deep down, you know you deserve premium prices. Yet you give discounts before asked, overdeliver to exhaustion, or feel guilty raising rates. Your Sabotage Shadow disguises this as generosity, but it’s really fear of fully owning your worth.
• You’re busy with everything but what moves the needle. Endless tasks that feel urgent but don’t grow your business fill your day. Whether reorganizing files or tweaking your schedule, the shadow keeps you “productively procrastinating” on the actions that would truly create momentum in your biz.
• You attract clients who can’t afford you. Despite aiming for high-level clients, you consistently draw people unable to invest. The shadow programs your energy to attract those mirroring your own uncertainty about receiving abundance.

If these sound familiar, know this isn’t a flaw; it’s your Sabotage Shadow protecting you with outdated programming. Think of it as running on an old operating system that desperately needs an upgrade.

Here’s the truth: These patterns aren’t signs you’re not cut out for success. They’re sophisticated protection mechanisms that once served you but now keep you from your next level of impact and income.

The first step to breaking free? Recognize these patterns for what they are: your Sabotage Shadow at work. Catching it early lets you stop falling into the same traps again and again.

But awareness alone isn’t enough. This is why one of the core pillars of my Money Magnet Method is "Healing the Hidden Barriers." The work of recognizing and dissolving the power of your Sabotage Shadow is a crucial part of that pillar. Because until you address the subconscious blocks, limiting beliefs, and energetic barriers fueling your Sabotage Shadow, no business strategy will help you reach your full potential.

When you strip away these hidden barriers, everything shifts. You step fully into your power as a coach/healer and leader, and finally create the abundant, thriving business you’re meant to have.

Your Sabotage Shadow is likely just the tip of the iceberg. So, let’s uncover your blocks and blindspots together. Book a complimentary 20-minute Money Magnet Blueprint call with me, where we’ll map your path to breakthrough and aligned success.
