Hello, there! Yes, it has been a very long time since I dropped an episode of the podcast. I hope I have the energy to do some shorter episodes soon.

Until then, I have great news some know, others don't. I'll be starting my own private telehealth practice! I'm soon due to be reviewed by the Board to approve my full license on 6/19. After that, I'll be officially free to launch In Due Time Counseling Services, PLLC!

MORE TO COME!!!
