In this special roundtable episode, Liz is joined by five long-time members of her consult group—therapists and entrepreneurs who are also moms. Together, they reflect on 6+ years of showing up for one another in business, motherhood, and life.
They share candid stories about launching practices, facing tough decisions, finding confidence, and creating a sense of belonging in what can otherwise be an isolating path.
Whether you’re a therapist, entrepreneur, or busy mom trying to balance it all, you’ll walk away with encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that you don’t have to do this alone.
Key Takeaways
Community reduces isolation. Private practice and entrepreneurship can be lonely, but a consistent support group creates a “colleague” network that makes the journey sustainable.
Motherhood and professionalism can coexist. Hiding motherhood to be “taken seriously” isn’t necessary—this group models a blend of business ownership and parenting without shame.
Flexibility is power. Running your own practice may not mean fewer hours, but it does mean shaping your schedule around family priorities and values.
Shared wisdom leads to better decisions. Trusted peers provide feedback that cuts through overwhelm and helps move past analysis paralysis.
Resilience grows in community. Normalizing both successes and failures reminds entrepreneurs that pivots and experiments are part of the process, not signs of weakness.
