It is so crazy to look back in time and see how far I have come..

Lessons Learned:
Life has a funny way of bringing your dreams full circle in weird ways.. I had went to school for Psychology and Business, wanting to have my own practice. I couldn't handle the stress of dealing with trauma and feeling helpless to do anything about it. Now, years later, I talk to people about their relationships and se* lives and don't have to deal with all the red tape. AND I get to touch people while I talk to them. AND do my business how I want to. Huge win.
Mentorship, Friendship, and having people in your camp are important. My biggest friends love me for me.. and couldn't care less about the non-traditional business I have. In fact, they cheerlead me for it!
Building a business, and being open about it, is VULNERABLE. It's truly putting your heart and soul out there for all to see- the wins, the mistakes, the heart-aches, and the celebrations- and never knowing how people will take it..
Building a business has pushed me more than ANY OTHER endeavor. I am constantly reaching my edge and thinking "I really have no idea if this is possible and nowhere to look for the answer.." Sometimes I panic with the not knowing, the lack of answers or models, and that when it boils down to it.. I am creating my life. ME. And that is the scariest reality of them all.
And also the most exciting..
