Ep 87: Beyond the Business: Thriving in a sensitive niche without burning out

Welcome back to What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss — the space where we explore healing, heart-led business, and the deeper purpose that often emerges after profound loss.

In today’s episode, Beyond the Business: Thriving in a Sensitive Niche Without Burning Out, Sharna Southan guides a powerful conversation for coaches, healers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs who work in emotionally charged spaces like grief, trauma, fertility, or loss.

This isn’t your average business podcast — we’re diving into the unseen, often unspoken emotional labor that comes with holding space for others in their most vulnerable moments.

From compassion fatigue to pricing guilt, visibility fears to over-giving, this episode sheds light on the real challenges of working in a sensitive niche.

We explore:

• What defines a sensitive niche — and why it matters

• The emotional toll of being a space-holder

• How to navigate guilt around charging for your work

• Energetic and emotional boundaries for longevity

• Sustainable marketing that doesn’t feel “salesy”

• The nervous system’s role in visibility and success

• Why community and support are essential — not optional Whether you’re just starting out or years into your journey, this episode is your reminder: You are not alone, your work is sacred, and you deserve to be supported as you support others.

✨ If you’re ready to grow your impact in a way that honours your energy and your vision, The Visibility Expansion Experience is now open.
