220. How Sailing Wellness Retreats Became Her Next Chapter with Cheryl Greathouse

A lot of therapists believe they need their full license, years behind them, and a perfect plan before they can build a business around something like sailing wellness retreats. Cheryl Greathouse is proof that the timeline can look completely different.In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl, a counselor and newly minted boat captain who put her practice on hold for four and a half years, sailed across the Pacific, and came home to start over as a pre-licensed intern while leading women's wellness retreats on a yacht in Greece. We get into how she built a life and a model that fits her instead of the other way around, and why being pre-licensed has not slowed her down one bit.In This Episode, We Explore…Why Cheryl put her therapy practice on hold and went sailing at 50.How she went from Army deckhand and powerboats to skippering her own boat.What a women's wellness retreat on a 48-foot yacht actually looks like day to day.How she handles her caseload and clients when she leaves for a month.Why she does not believe you have to wait for your license to do this work internationally.Connect with Cheryl Greathouse:Website: https://www.wayfinderwisdom.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wayfinderwisdom/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylsailsaway/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheryl.l.greathouse/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-greathouse-8795847/Are you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?
