In this reflective monologue, the speaker argues that feeling uncomfortable or "not feeling good" about a current business package or engagement model should be interpreted as valuable information rather than a cue to quit. He explains that long‑term commitments (e.g., a two‑year‑old program) don’t obligate one to keep the same structure forever. When discomfort arises—such as having many clients but an outdated 6‑month engagement—the appropriate response is to pause, assess the situation, and consider changes: adjusting the container, pricing, or even redesigning the entire offering. The core message is that discomfort signals the need for refinement, not abandonment, and that taking a deliberate pause enables purposeful evolution of the business model.

I mean, so I needed to go through that experience and then it's okay to change. It's not because I committed to that like 2 years ago that I need to keep doing that for the rest of my life. And this is where we need to pause. Like for us, like we had a version of what we do now at the early beginning of our business that did not serve us. Like we created this container and this engagement with those many sessions and we had to go through that. And then it's kind of like the discomfort of like, oh, I have all those people right now that I want to give sessions, like, and it's uncomfortable. So what is, you know, so then I need to sit with that and see what do I want to do? Like, do I just close my thing? Do I change the way I help people? Because the discomfort is telling you it's not about quitting. It's about refinement. So like, oh, I created this package and this is the 6-month engagement and it works this way. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And It's not feeling good for me anymore. So then I, the field, the not feeling good is information. And then I need to pause and like, okay, maybe I can change the container. Maybe I can change the way I price. Maybe I can change whatever it is, or maybe I want to change completely, but it's, it's information.
