Have you ever felt that holy nudge - that mix of excitement and fear that says, "Maybe it's time to go out on my own"?

I remember that feeling so vividly. You're standing on the edge of something new, your heart's racing, and the "what ifs" start flooding in. What if I'm not ready? What if it fails? But also… what if this is exactly what God is calling me to do next?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Amanda Zuccaro, a Licensed Professional Counselor who's right in that in-between space - still working at her current practice but feeling called to step into her own. We talk about how to know when you're ready to make that leap, how to prepare financially and emotionally, and what it looks like to take faith-based action even when everything isn't perfectly lined up yet.

If you've ever dreamed about starting your own practice - or you're wondering if now's the time - this conversation is for you. Amanda's story will inspire you to stop spinning your wheels, trust the process, and take that first brave step toward your own wise practice.
