When you hear the word scarcity, you might think of someone who's afraid to raise their rates, or someone constantly hustling for their next client.

And yes, that’s part of it.

But scarcity isn’t always loud or obvious.

In fact, it can show up in some pretty sneaky ways—especially for women coaches who look successful from the outside.

Scarcity can look like:

• Saying yes to clients who aren’t a good fit (because “it’s income”)

• Creating yet another offer (because “what if this one doesn’t sell?”)

• Under-marketing your work (because deep down you’re not sure it’s valuable enough)

• Discounting yourself before anyone even asks

• Over giving in your free content, hoping it will prove your worth

Scarcity isn’t just about money.

It’s a mindset rooted in fear. Fear of not having enough. Fear of being too much. Fear of what might happen if you truly claimed your worth.

And the tough part? It often hides behind “being responsible,” “being generous,” or “just trying to help.”

But here’s the truth: building your business from a place of lack never creates the freedom you’re looking for.

It only creates more fear, more exhaustion, and more second-guessing.

Abundance, on the other hand, is a mindset shift. It’s not about how much is in your bank account—it’s about how you see yourself, your value, and what’s possible for you.

Take inventory: Where is scarcity quietly showing up in your business—and what would abundance look like instead?
