#8 Therapreneur Check-in - February 2025
Roller-skates, spirals and intuition
Continuing my series of monthly check-ins to see how solopreneur life and therapy work is going…
What is going well, what's not going so well, and what I'm doing about it!
Borrowing my first check-in prompt from my actual therapy sessions...
How are you?
I’m good! I have just recorded a podcast which was really fun to do. The sun is shining 😎 I can’t believe it’s the end of February already!
What are your wins this month?
I was featured in The Coffee Break Newsletter 👏🏻 It was interesting to reflect on my writing process, and think back to my very first blog over 10 years ago. Check it out here:
I went to see Starlight Express at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre in London with my daughter during half-term. It was brilliant, and we have been playing the soundtrack in the car since we got home! 😄
I’ve been proactive with increasing my visibility:
I’ve signed on an associate for a larger private practice
I’ve re-joined Psychology Today
I’ve pitched for two podcasts
What has not gone so well this month?
I spent some time in a negative spiral!
Have you ever been in a negative spiral?
When a mixture of questions, doubts, anxiety, hormones, pressure and lack of trust sends you reeling?
One thing I’ve learned is when I leave my comfort zone I’m likely to experience anxious/negative thoughts. Does the same thing happen to you? Our brains are wired for safety. Uncertainty feels like danger. Waiting, at times, feels unbearable.
What helps?
I recommend taking an observational stance to your thoughts. The negative track might be playing 🎶 but we can choose to turn the volume down, re-focus our attention and breathe 🌬️
Doing this helped me realise…
There are elements of my business that are outside of my control
AND
I can manage how I approach my business; I can take action and practice tolerating discomfort for what’s outside my control
How are you going to approach next month?
With compassion and action!
Keep planting those seeds, and resist digging them up after 24 hours! 🤣
(It’s not just me!? Let me know in the comments!)
What are you looking forward to in March?
My daughter’s birthday 🎈

Hi Natasha, loved this... yep, I can definitely relate to the negative spiral 🙄 and it happens so fast too! Sometimes I can catch it, but other times it slips past like a sneaky little ninja! 😆 Can't wait to read your coffee break interview 👍🎉
