honestly the boundaries thing with clients is huge. learned this the hard way when i first started, had people showing up late, wanting to extend sessions, then taking forever to pay. now i spell everything out from day one. payment terms, how long sessions run, what happens if they cancel last minute. saves so much hassle
Reading professionally is nothing like reading for friends. Once money’s involved, everything changes. i remember when i first started charging, got so stressed about delivering value that my readings went to shit. The anxiety was blocking my connection to the cards completely.
Had to go back to basics and figure out how to ground myself all over again. Just something to keep in mind if you’re thinking about going pro. Knowing the cards is one thing, but dealing with the pressure of paid readings is a skill.
