Running a business as a counsellor is never simple, but what about when life throws you even more to carry?

In this honest conversation, I’m joined by Laura Robinson, a marketing mentor and copywriter who’s grown a thriving practice while parenting neurodivergent kids, managing chronic health challenges, and tuning out hustle-culture noise.

Laura shares her Suit Yourself First philosophy: where your business and marketing flex around you, not the other way around.

We talk about:

• How to keep your therapy practice going when energy is low
• What comfy marketing really means, and why it works
• Letting go of the “shoulds” that keep you stuck
• That infamous moment someone told Laura she was “upper limiting”
• Real self-care that isn’t just bubble baths and candles

If you're a counsellor navigating work and real life - grief, burnout, overwhelm, or just general messiness- this episode offers validation, calm, and a new way forward.

Expect honesty, humour, and the reassurance you didn’t know you needed.
