What’s up everyone! I am here today with Victoria Stith, a therapist, new course creator, and a recent graduate of my group program, Finish Your Damn Course! After many starts and stops on her own, Victoria joined Finish Your Damn Course to overcome her fears, get unstuck, and create her online course.

In this episode, Victoria shares her experience in the program, how she overcame resistance, and what it was like to finish--and teach--her damn course. Let’s dig in!

Creating the online course allowed me to be more accessible and help more people at once.

After experiencing the struggle of online course creation, Victoria was motivated to join Finish Your Damn Course to overcome her fears, identify her needs, and move forward from the stuck zone. In this episode, Victoria discusses her experience joining the program and the results it brought her. You’ll hear how FYDC helped her start her LIVE course that helps parents learn the techniques of healthy communication with children suffering from substance abuse disorders. Let’s dig in!
