The Side Quest I Didn’t See Coming

The note for today’s newsletter was: “promote the launch”

It’s funny, when I set out to shift my trajectory and stepped down from my position as Clinical Director at Nurture and Be (a truly wonderful group practice that has won Best of Georgia the last two years… yes, I was literally working for the best practice in Georgia), I thought I knew what was coming next.

I anticipated stepping down, leaning more fully into my therapist role there, and finally having extra time to pursue “this” and be more in alignment with the life I wanted.

At the time, I thought “this” meant sharing resources, coaching, and creating courses.
But, you know… life is funny that way.

Today, instead of launching the signature program I imagined months ago, it’s actually my last day at Nurture and Be altogether. Because after that one decision, so many other decisions followed.

One small step led to many other small steps.
And now my life doesn’t look anything like I expected.

And honestly? I’m so grateful for that.

Not because I didn’t love what I was doing before — I truly did — but because holy shit, I LOVE what I’m doing now.

So no, months ago when I set out to create a signature program to launch in January, I didn’t anticipate not doing that at all (yet). Instead, I’m starting the year with my very own practice.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who believes in me. And a very special thank you to Brooke and Jessica, the founder and site manager at Nurture and Be. Without my time on the leadership team, I wouldn’t have had the growth I needed to step into this new role.

Brooke, thank you for inviting me to the table.
Jessica, thank you for sitting with me.

To everyone in the Nurture and Be family: I will miss you all deeply and feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a special team.

I’m sharing this because plans rarely work out the way we think they will.

But if you can set a goal and stay open to the side quests along the way…if you give yourself permission to change your dreams and follow where the universe nudges you…you might end up somewhere you never even thought to dream of.

Until you do.
