I didn’t plan to become a business owner. A snowstorm made the decision for me. In 2015, a blizzard shut down the Northeast. I canceled 21 therapy sessions in one week—and lost all that income. That moment planted a quiet but persistent question: What kind of business actually supports the life I want to live? — That question changed everything. Later that year, I launched the Selling the Couch podcast. It grew slowly—but steadily—into: • A Top 0.5% podcast globally • 1.82M+ downloads • Listeners in 100+ countries A few years in, life added a new chapter. Our daughter was born 8 weeks early. NICU + 13 months of grueling physical therapy and early intervention followed. That season reshaped everything I thought I knew about success. It wasn’t just what I was building. It was how I was building it—and who I was becoming in the process. — Today, I run: ✅ A podcasting community (244+ therapist podcasters) ✅ A mastermind for course creators (helping 50+ therapists launch online courses) ✅ A values-led business designed around family, rest, and meaning I’m still asking that same question. But now—I’m helping others ask it too. If you’re a therapist, a quiet founder, or a values-driven leader— figuring out how to build something sustainable without burning out— I’d love to connect. 🟡 I share stories and strategies here each week 🟡 Follow for gentle encouragement and practical insight 🟡 My DMs are always open And if you’d like to go even deeper into these ideas— I created The Quiet Builder, a premium newsletter for people just like us. It’s $97/year, sent twice a month, and explores how to build strong in uncertain times. 👉 sellingthecouch.com/quietbuilder Because quiet doesn’t mean small. It means rooted.
