(#152) Therapist & Doula: Let's Talk Motherhood & Business (Guest: Anita)

Anita breaks barriers by unifying her multiple areas of expertise into a niche to fill the gap she saw in the mental health field. Equipped with the skillset and desire to serve women facing challenges with their pregnancy, she decided to venture into private practice and became a childbirth educator to promote healthy ways of coping up while strengthening the connection between the mom and the baby in her womb. 

Today’s guest is part of the Elite Coaching Mastermind and also one of the few who immediately advanced to that program. Listen as she talks about her journey in the mental health field, what motivated her work beyond therapy, and having that ability to grow and expand not just in her clinical practice but also other streams of income.

Standout Quotes from Anita:
"You just have to be able to, one, become confident about it and two, be able to say, okay where are my population— where are they? And make sure that I'm focusing towards them and that they will come; they will have no problem paying the fees that I charge." (08:49)
"It was on those things where I had to do a lot of work by myself and saying, Okay what do I need to do, who can I go get help from? And that's when I saw that hold on, there's not that many people in my area that look like me; who could understand what I'm going through, and can help me. And that's where the lightbulb kinda turned on a little bit..." (14:10)

 
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
"Most therapists say, how can I stand out? It's a lot of therapists that work with women. It's a lot of therapists who work with women of color. But what's going to make you stand out is when you do have to niche it down or be very particular with what their presenting problems are." (15:27)
"When we make a business investment, the goal would be that we consult with the people who are also going to be impacted by our investments because our investment means that we have to put time somewhere else." (24:15)
