Before we jump into this week's episode I have a few things I want to share with you: 1. I'm having a SALE!

My friend Sarah Leitschuh is doing a really neat thing. She creates virtual work sessions for therapists. The sessions are coworking sessions where you have 2 hours to work on the task of your choosing with structured support and accountability. The sessions happen on zoom and they are a lot of fun plus you'll get stuff done and connect with some amazing people.
