Fears and Triumphs
The Fears and Triumphs of being Loud and Proud in one's business...
Wow...
It is so crazy to look back in time and see how far I have come..
Almost 5 Years Ago: My first official Tantra Retreat with Monique Darling and Peter Peterson.
4 Years Ago- Spent 2 years traveling/assisting with the above at 10+ retreats and other amazing facilitators.
2 years ago- Started my Conscious Sexuality Business as a way to continue my practice and make a side-hustle.
March 2023- Moved to Austin TX for friends, family, and expansion of my business.
4 Months Ago- Created a new website and offerings. Went back to school for Sex Education to give even more value to my clients.
Lessons Learned:
Life has a funny way of bringing your dreams full circle in weird ways. I had went to school for Psychology and Business, wanting to have my own practice. I couldn't handle the stress and feeling helpless to do anything about it. Now, years later, I talk to people about their relationships and sex lives and don't have to deal with all the red tape. And I get to touch people while I talk to them! And do my business how I want to. Huge win.
Mentorship, Friendship, and having people in your camp are important. My biggest friends love me for me.. and couldn't care less about the non-traditional business I have. In fact, they cheerlead me for it!
Building a business, and being open about it, is so vulnerable. It's truly putting your heart and soul out there for all to see- the wins, the mistakes, the heart-aches, and the celebrations- and never knowing how people will take it.
Building a business has pushed me more than any other endeavor. I am constantly reaching my edge and thinking "I really have no idea if this is possible and nowhere to look for the answer.." Sometimes I panic with the not knowing, the lack of answers or models, and that when it boils down to it..
I am creating my life.
And that is the scariest reality of them all.
And also the most exciting..
