Why is it women are so often reluctant to charge for their services, especially when it comes to the healing and intuitive arts?
It’s an interesting question, and one that Baeth Davis, owner of The Hand Analyst, Inc. found at YourPurpose.com, has been helping women answer for more than 19 years. As a successful business owner and healer, Baeth understands the unique struggles women with these talents face. Her passion is helping creative and intuitive women get unstuck in their business and get paid for using their natural gifts. In her work with clients over the years, she’s uncovered some common themes.
Women often make the mistake of hiding what they are passionate about, what they have been naturally gifted to do, by settling for careers that bore them. It’s a safe option, and one others often see as a sensible choice. But the monotony soon irritates them. They’re left unfulfilled in their work, and they don’t know how to change or where to start.
As Baeth explains “Women often hide behind a mask. But there’s a huge cost for wearing a mask and not listening to your inner voice.”
The three main types of masks women put on are:
Mask 1: The “I’m Fine” Syndrome
Women wearing this mask show the world that they have everything together. They’re indispensable at work, always the go-to person in their business and have an intense desire to be liked by everyone. On the inside, they are hiding their resentment and sadness about feeling unfulfilled in their career.

Mask 2: “I Can’t Charge That Much!”
The feeling of being unworthy, despite knowing they have a unique gift, can lead women to hide behind this second mask. They know they’re innately powerful, but fear changing and embracing their gift, let alone sharing it with others.
Mask 3: “I’m a Freak of Nature”
Often, when women first express their intuitive or healing gifts to others, they’re labeled as crazy. Or women fear this is what will happen. They don’t want to be persecuted by the very people they long to help. So they stay silent.
Do any of these sound familiar? Are you guilty of covering up your true self instead of embracing what you know you were meant to do? The truth is, making money doing what you love, what you were meant to do, requires being visible and vulnerable with others. It’s time to stop hiding! Take off that mask, and get out there.
If you do stay hidden, you’ll constantly struggle to get paid. While that might protect you from potential disagreements with others who don’t understand your gifts, you won’t get your message out to those who need it most. And if you’re not sharing your gifts with the world, you’re depriving people of the impact you could make in their lives. The world needs you now more than ever. So don’t allow fear to hold you back from who you were meant to be.
