Having the Courage to Leave Your 9 to 5 and Start Your Own Business with Heather (and a Look Ahead at the 2026 Astrology)

Today I’m joined by Heather MacDonald from Yes You Can Rehab, a physiotherapist who’s stepping away from the safety of the hospital system and into the unknown to create her own private practice and chronic pain program.She recently joined my 6-month small group program, A Call to Grow, because she knew she didn’t want to take this leap alone. She wanted to stay grounded and spiritually supported while building something meaningful that can help others heal.In this honest and beautiful conversation, Heather shares what she’s afraid of like leaving a steady paycheck and benefits and what she’s most longing for: the confidence to walk forward, even while still feeling fear. Together, we explore what it means to hold hands with fear and move anyway… and how much can shift when you stop trying to do everything on your own.Later in the episode, I share some thoughts about the astrology of the months ahead, including why January is offering us a little more ease and support, and why February’s eclipse marks the beginning of a new cycle of big endings and bold new beginnings. We also talk about the role of an astrologer in your business and how having someone carry the bigger picture for you can bring so much relief and clarity.If you’re standing on the edge of your own dream but not sure you can do it or you’re considering joining A Call to Grow, I think you’ll find this episode deeply affirming.A Call to Grow begins in just a few days so if you’re feeling called to join us, now’s the time.Learn more or join A Call to Grow here: https://danadaponte.com/a-call-to-grow-group-program/
