Description

What if the very thing holding you back from success isn't your strategy, but your mindset? In this episode, I'm diving into the one mindset shift that separates successful entrepreneurial therapists from those stuck in burnout, fear, or self-doubt. I'm sharing the real stories behind my own messy beginnings—failed workshops, awkward launches, and showing up when no one was watching—and why those moments were actually the foundation of everything that came after.

This isn't about hustling harder; it's about learning to do what others won't. From being willing to be embarrassed, to showing up even when no one's clapping, to surrounding yourself with people who challenge your limits—this episode will call you out (lovingly) and challenge you to rise. If you're ready to finally start operating from a place of confidence and resilience instead of comparison and fear, this one's for you.
