🌿 Facing My Fear and Stepping Into Purpose

Growth and fear often come hand in hand......

This morning felt different.

My first podcast episode went live, and I have to admit, it took a mix of courage, caffeine, and deep breaths to get here.

When my financial advisor invited me to record this episode, my first reaction wasn’t excitement, it was fear. For years, I’ve been the clinician behind the scenes: caring for others, helping them navigate their healing. But putting myself in front of a camera and sharing my story out loud felt like a whole new level of vulnerability.

After a long and successful career, I’ve chosen to start over building something that feels more aligned, more heart-led, and more human. This new chapter, Mendit Wellness, is deeply personal to me. It’s about redefining how we heal, moving beyond symptom management and medication alone to uncover the root causes of why we feel the way we do. It’s about combining science with soul, data with compassion, and truly transforming mental health care.

So, recording this podcast wasn’t just about talking finance or business, it was about facing one of my own fears and stepping into my purpose.

It reminded me that growth and fear often come hand in hand.

I’m so grateful for everyone who’s been on this journey with me, reading, sharing, believing. This is just the beginning of something bigger, I’ve already been invited to another podcast, a conference, and even a news segment to share this message.

Stay tuned… it’s all happening.

The movement to redefine mental health and recovery is growing, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what’s coming next.
