070: Christine McFarlane-Olsen — When the Business Side Feels Harder Than the Work Itself

from Ren: Behind the Practice · host Ren Wellbeing

A behind-the-scenes conversation about the gap between being excellent at your work and knowing how to build a business around it.In this episode, I’m joined by Christine McFarlane-Olsen, a trauma-informed coach who helps women overcome adversity, limiting beliefs, and life’s most difficult challenges. Together, we explore the realities of entrepreneurship, nervous system regulation, over-giving, and why so many practitioners mistakenly believe their business struggles reflect the quality of their work. What we explored:• Transitioning from group work into deeper one-on-one client work• Using community partnerships to build trust and find clients• Why entrepreneurship is a fast track for personal transformation• The danger of over-giving to a business that isn't giving back• Separating business-building skills from practitioner expertiseBeing brilliant at your craft and knowing how to build a business are two different skill sets. The sooner we separate those conversations, the easier it becomes to seek the support we actually need.
