There’s Room For All

Last week in our newsletter (if you haven't joined yet, scroll to the bottom and sign up!), I shared a topic that has been on my mind amidst the burgeoning growth of industries and the convergence of shared interests. Recognizing its relevance to a broader audience, I felt compelled to share it here as well.

Recently, I had a chat with someone about the perception that certain markets, like the sober coaching space for example, might feel oversaturated to those deeply involved in the online realm (you know, the "Sober Instagram" scene).

I have heard rumblings from some with the notion that “everyone” is becoming a sober coach.

And I thought about it for a bit, being a coach myself, and recognized that I do notice an increase of coaches in this space…

and I LOVE IT.

First of all, here’s the thing about it feeling oversaturated - it may feel that way to them because that’s their world online. They're immersed in the space, living and breathing everything sobriety, so, naturally, it dominates their social feeds.

To those not swimming in the same waters, the concept of a sober coach might be as unfamiliar as a rare gem they've yet to discover.

This small example in the sober coaching space mirrors a larger truth - that in the vast expanse of our world, there's plenty of space for everyone.

Across all industries, in all walks of life, there's room for diversity, a multitude of voices, and an array of experiences.

Isn't it just beautiful that within any seemingly saturated market, there exists a multitude of individuals, each with their own unique personalities, experiences, and approaches?

It's like a buffet, and there truly is something for everyone.

If you've been hesitating to take a leap because you're comparing yourself to others in the same space, wherever that space may be, I just want to remind you:

your uniqueness is your strength.

Your perspective is fresh, your voice is valuable, and there is plenty of room for you to shine in this diverse landscape.

I absolutely love to see people make changes, embrace their authenticity and pursue their dreams, undeterred by obstacles or adversity.

And one person in particular, my partner Jonas, has inspired me beyond words as he makes waves in the dog supplement space (btw - have you checked out Barkletic yet!?)

So, here's to celebrating the variety, the differences, and the wealth of options available in all aspects of life.

And cheers to the beauty of diversity and the multitude of voices that make our journeys so rich and vibrant.

Keep exploring, keep embracing, keep being wonderfully, beautifully YOU.

Much love,

-HM
