Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure of maintaining an online presence while trying to balance your passion and professional life? This week on the Marriage Essentials Podcast, I reflect on the incredible journey of producing the show for 104 consecutive weeks and how it's pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined. Drawing from my extensive career in the mental health field, I share my experiences working with individuals, couples, and families, as well as my recent venture into consulting and training. You'll hear about my efforts to juggle the love for therapy with the need to generate income through social media, courses, and the podcast. Plus, I share an exciting possibility on the horizon—purchasing a therapy business to sustainably manage my workload and keep my focus on the heart of my practice: couples therapy.
In this episode, we also tackle the modern challenge of digital overload. I discuss the mental strain that comes with constant online engagement and the liberating power of a digital detox. Reflecting on the importance of relationships, I emphasize showing love and care unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. By focusing on self-care and offering that leftover love to your partner, we can break free from cycles of resentment and build stronger, healthier relationships. As we close, I ponder the future of our sessions together, cherishing the meaningful interactions we've had and expressing hope for continued connection and growth. Join me for a heartfelt conversation about balancing passion with practicality, prioritizing mental wellness, and nurturing the bonds that matter most.
