This will always improve our mental health. Today's guest teaches us just how important it is through her first-hand experiences. A burned out therapist who closed her practice of 20 years and started coaching, so she can make more time for joy (and ukulele playing!)After experiencing the early stages of burnout while running her private therapy practice, Annie knew she had to build a new business that was centered around her values. As the family breadwinner, making the change wasn’t an easy choice, but with the support of her wife, Annie was able to finally liberate herself and build a sustainable and joyful business.Now instead of crying in the fetal position about how she feels overwhelmed in her business (yes, that really happened), she works 20 hours per week and has time for hobbies, the latest of which is playing the ukulele. (She’s currently working her way through playing Elton John’s library just because it brings her joy.)Annie Schuessler is a business coach and the host of the podcast Rebel Therapist® Podcast. With her Rebel Therapist®Programs, she helps therapists, healers and coaches make an impact beyond a traditional private practice.This episode is brought to you by Tampa Counseling and Wellness!Dedicated to helping individuals looking to positively transform their lives through compassionate counseling and wellness coaching.
