When Client Cancellations Feel Like a RELIEF- What Your Business Is Trying To Tell You.
If you’ve ever done a happy dance (on the inside) when a client cancels... this one’s for you.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just a massage therapist whose nervous system is waving a tiny white flag—and it’s time we talked about it.
In this raw, real, and ridiculously relatable episode, we’re diving into the secret sigh of relief that happens when your schedule “accidentally” opens up. We’ll unpack why that sweet cancellation feels better than a bubble bath and what it really means when your calendar starts giving you anxiety instead of income.
🔥 Here’s what we’re getting into:
-
The guilty joy of a last-minute no-show (and why it’s actually a red flag)
-
Why your business might be low-key gaslighting your nervous system
-
The “overwork > under-support” trap—and how to escape it with your sanity intact
-
How to stop using cancellations as your only self-care plan (because yikes… that’s not the vibe)
-
Permission (yes, permission!) to raise your rates, get real support, and build a schedule that doesn’t make you want to fake your own death
💡 Bonus moments include: business therapy disguised as tough love, schedule rethinks that don’t ruin your bank account, and the radical reminder that you are allowed to rest, too.
So grab your earbuds and your favorite beverage—you’re about to feel seen, supported, and maybe even a little fired up. Your business doesn’t have to drain you. Let’s rebuild it to heal you, too.
🎧 Hit play and start breathing again.
