I met with Patrick Casale who discusses his journey from community mental health to thriving entrepreneur. He talks about how he made the transition, what he's been up to since, and some of the challenges he's faced along the way.

 

It was really interesting to hear about Patrick's journey and get some insights into the entrepreneurial mindset. He's definitely someone who is thinking outside the box and taking some risks - something that I admire.

 

If you're thinking about making a similar transition, or are just curious to hear about entrepreneurship, then this episode is for you!

“I’ve worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, and underappreciated.

 

I knew I wanted out but feared the uncertainty of private practice, because, at the time, I had no fucking clue how to start a business. After all, most people who go into the helping profession don’t have a lot of business training, if any at all.

 

After a lot of work, some struggles, and trial-and-error, I successfully launched my private practice. Then a couple of years after that, I launched a thriving group practice.

 

I am truly passionate about empowering therapists to take the steps they need to create more successful lives and careers while working flexible hours, taking more vacations, and using their precious clinical skills effectively.

 

When it comes to being a successful private practice and small business owner, I’ve already been there and done that, so now I help other therapists all over the United States save time, skip the guesswork, and start seeing clients sooner with their own private practices.”

For today’s episode, we have Chelsea Sanburg who is a licensed mental health counselor. Together with her husband, they have accomplished what they set out to do after years of consciously creating a life that allows for a healthy work/life balance. Even though getting there wasn't always simple, it was worthwhile and along the way, they discovered that travel is a mindset and that it can be purposefully created wherever you are. And with that, today, she will share her journey and her traveling lifestyle. 

 

Traveling and work are two of Chelsea’s core values. She knew that she had to be creative and intentional in building a life that would include both, so she set out to do just that.She and her husband have spent years being intentional in the careers they’ve accepted and where they've lived in order to maximize travel experiences. They moved from Iowa to Florida (with some time in North Carolina and South Dakota in between) and currently spend every weekend traveling. Right now, they spend the majority of their time exploring the state of Florida because there are endless experiences there (and because they never tire of beaches!) but as traveling continues to get easier with covid, they’ve started expanding their travels again.

 

“Even if you can afford to travel, but you have a crappy mindset, you're gonna shut down when things go wrong, and things will go wrong, they will go wrong every time.”

 

• Chelsea shares her story and her lifestyle 
• Allow time to be and for things to unfold
• The importance of having an open mindset

Join us for this episode with Ruthie Kalai. Ruthie recently traveled to Portugal for a month where she continued to see clients and the country as part of a unique digital nomad travel club. In this episode, Ruthie shares her tips, tricks and experience with being A Traveling Therapist. 

 

She has been a therapist for over 20 years but was always stuck working in schools. It wasn't until she started her remote private practice, that she realized she could travel AND work at the same time. The idea came to her after looking for a way to visit her mom every 6 weeks in Florida to help take care of her during her cognitive decline. That's when she was introduced to teletherapy and soon opened my own private teletherapy practice. 

 

Several years later, she is loving being able to combine her love for travel with her love for her career. She typically travel solo but never really alone because she meet so many people along the way. Her favorite solo trip was in 2016 when she flew off to Southeast Asia for a 6-month adventure. She call it her "Eat, Pray, Love" experience because it was truly that. She recently was able to spend a month in Portugal while seeing clients full-time. It was her first experiment to see if she could work and travel simultaneously and she's thrilled to say it was a total success. It's shown her that she can continue to travel and work at the same time. Her only struggle is navigating time zones when scheduling sessions. That and the occasional wonky Wi-Fi. Up next on her travel itinerary is Boulder, Israel, Venice, and Prague. But she is the kind of person who will most likely say yes if someone invites her to join them so this list might expand as the weeks go by. 

 

She's really excited to share her experiences with you and hopefully show you that traveling therapists do exist! Check out her website, www.ruthiekalai.com.

This episode discusses my journey over the last month as a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and creator of side hustles. I discuss the pros and cons of the digital nomad lifestyle, how to make money online, and the challenges I've faced along the way.

As you may already know, I'm a big fan of having a side hustle to supplement my income and over the years I've developed 8 of them! In this episode, I discuss my journey as a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and creator. 

The Traveling Therapist was a sponsor for two therapist summits since my last digital nomad update! I learned a lot as an entrepreneur over the last month. The summits were really meaningful and allowed me to connect, in person, with friends who I've only known through Facebook. It was a real whirlwind, but really awesome to get to connect with friends and even some members of my Bill Like A Boss community for the first time.

During this time, I had to fire an employee and this caused a bit of a setback for my launch of the Experts’ Guide To Becoming a Traveling Therapist. No worries! I’m resilient and figured out how to launch the course anyway and found an excellent replacement to help me with all of the launch tech I can't figure out myself.

I’m super excited about the course and the Traveling Therapist Extravaganza which starts Monday the 20th of June, 2022 in the Traveling Therapist Facebook group.

I’ve been working like crazy to get everything ready and am confident that it will be an excellent event! I’m looking forward to meeting everyone in the community and helping everyone start their Traveling Therapist Journey.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Extravaganza,
