Bio
I'm a recovering creative returning to myself. I veered off the creative path two decades ago. But, I'm now reviving my inner artist and helping others to do the same. I hold retreats for women and read Portuguese poetry.

New Year, New Career
Transitioning Out of a Helping Profession I’m on a Facebook group for speech therapists who want to leave the field. Many feel overworked, underpaid, or feel that the profession just isn’t a match for who they are. But it’s not so easy to leave. We’re wearing the shiny, copper handcuffs. They’re definitely not golden as I’ve never been able to afford an Audi from this profession. But, this career has offers just enough financial comfort to discourage starting something new. Part of the problem I’ve noticed when talking with other speech therapists or reading their stories is that we don’t know what else we could do. And, I think that may have something to do with the role models we’ve seen growing up.
