Description

Is it really possible to build a thriving therapy practice and a fulfilling life when you're the sole income earner? In this episode, I open up about the raw, real journey of growing my business while raising my daughter as a single mom—and what it actually takes to financially support a household alone. Whether you're navigating single-income life, are the breadwinner of your family, or simply feeling the weight of building a business with no plan B, this episode is for you.

I'm pulling back the curtain on what it's been like to go from grieving, scrappy survival mode to buying my first home, while scaling a practice with purpose. We'll talk about mindset shifts, strategic systems, and how to stay grounded in faith and self-trust when the stakes are high. If you've ever wondered how single-income earners make it all work behind the scenes—or how you can—this episode is filled with lessons, inspiration, and real-life tools to keep going.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  • 7:42 – A personal story that proves manifestation takes time—and patience
