How I learned to thrive:
I had to be honest that I was just surviving life as a therapist, and admitted that something had to change.
I committed to changing how I thought about therapy as a business.
I spent time finding therapists and business owners who were successful and connected with them.
I stopped trying to recreate the wheel.
