Episode Synopsis

I QUIT!!

13 years ago, today, I quit my job as a Therapist. I had been working in my mom’s therapy clinic, with the “plan” to one day take it over. She was out of town, was in a meeting with my supervisor (aka her business partner). 

He said, “maybe you’re not meant to do this work?” To which I exclaimed “WHAT? You mean I can QUIT & not do this?” He said “YES!! You can quit!” And so, I did. It was 6-6-6.

That one decision created a ripple effect of upset for my family, but I was steadfast in my decision. I knew I was a natural born entrepreneur with a courageous spirit & I would be successful despite the odds.

My mom loving shared “I realized I was more attached to you doing this than you were. I am happy for you and I know you will do well no matter what.” She’s the best. 

Had I have known the grit, focus, investment of time, money & energy it would require of me, I believe I would have still taken the challenge.

Shortly after I quit my job, I was giving a ‘free talk” at the community center at our local ski resort (Alta). I think 3 women were in attendance, 2 of which became my clients. 

The cool thing was that I had already mapped out my exact schedule for when I would see my clients before I had any paying clients so when they enrolled, they requested the EXACT times I had already marked out in my calendar. 

Next thing you know, Johnn and I were jumping out of a perfectly working airplane (aka Sky Diving) and with my arms spread out wide free falling from the sky, I was affirming and yelling out loud “I am ONE with the Universe”! 

And that is how I started. jumping out of an airplane and affirming my new-found belief that YES, I can create everything and anything I want. 

I’ve never looked BACK, all of these 13 years despite the….
