Episode 156: The Promise of Your Service Can Evolve (Teaching People to Fish vs. Letting Them Eat)
Episode Summary
In this episode, I talk through why it is not only allowed but often necessary to let the promise and structure of your services change over time. I share a real, behind-the-scenes example from my own business and explain how paying attention to what actually helps clients most sometimes means adjusting your original vision. This is about integrity, autonomy, and being willing to evolve your offers so they serve both your clients and your capacity better.
