When I set out to start my own business, I had no idea what I was doing. I was inundated with coaches online and my brain had me convinced that creating my own psychotherapy business wouldn't be successful, so I thought "what if I package it as coaching?" And that is what I did. I offered packages of weekly coaching sessions and I had two clients. That two turned into three and I soon realized, that wasn't for me. I began offering individual sessions for people who did not want to commit to packages because I know from experience that paying one lump sum is not always feasible. I then completed a coaching program and decided, I myself was not meant to be a coach, but instead a mentor. I then coined myself as a mindset mentor, which still holds true today.
Fast forward to 2021, I decided having a psychotherapy practice is what I am meant to do. I am a licensed psychotherapist and WHY I thought I couldn't have my own private therapy practice is beyond me. In 2021, I began marketing myself and using online tools to help get my name and practice out there and my business grew. All from the comfort of a tiny corner in my living room, I was offering psychotherapy services to WI residents and mindset mentorship to people all over the world! Literally, I have mentorship clients in other countries, it's pretty dope! I love that I can work from home while my son is home and that on days I want to be home, I can be. It decreased the stress I have related to childcare and wanting to be here for him if or when he needs me. Working from home affords me that, and my clients are always so amazing knowing I have a kid at home in case we are interrupted.

Fast forward again to 2022, I have quadrupled my income from 2021 and my client list as dramatically increased! There were months I couldn't believe how successful I was, it didn't feel real! Are there months where I panicked about my ability to continue to be successful due to sessions dropping? Yes. But in those moments I worked really hard to practice gratitude and mindfulness and utilized those moments to focus on other things. And now, as I sit here and type this, I am simultaneously looking for things to furnish my first independent office as an entrepreneur! I never thought this was possible for me specially, but it's actually fucking happening! I cannot wait to meet clients in person who I've seen for the last year and a half. I also can't wait to offer more services to those in need in WI! I am so proud of how far I have come while also realizing I am meant for bigger things. This is just the start of becoming who I am meant to be and I can't wait to see where this takes me! Thank you to all my current and future clients who are helping me make this dream come true!
