It Is Time

“Arianne, you have a voice. You have so much knowledge, and people need to hear it. It is time.”

Not too long ago, someone spoke those words to me—and it felt like a lightbulb went off. For far too long, I allowed doubt and apprehension to play devil’s advocate in my mind.

As a new entrepreneur (am I still new three years later? I don’t know—just follow along), I often found myself questioning whether I should do certain things, or if I was truly capable of doing them well. I knew I was a good therapist. That part came naturally. Supervision did too.

But running a business?
Marketing?
Finances?

Was I really built for all of that?

I quickly learned that yes—I was. And my leap into the wild world of entrepreneurship paid off. Still, I realized I wanted more. I began asking myself deeper questions: What other services could I offer? What gaps existed? Where was I being called to expand?

A close friend once told me to stop playing myself small. Yet fear has a way of resurfacing. Would I be taken seriously as a speaker? A panelist? Who would actually want to hear my voice?

As I sit here writing this, I realize it’s not about the who.
It’s about the passion and the purpose.

Whether the audience is one or one thousand, I have a voice. I have knowledge to share. I have stories, experiences, and wisdom worth telling.

So I invite you on this journey. Here, you’ll meet the real me—the funny, thoughtful, spiritual, mental-health and public-health-advocating version of myself. The personal side.

Take a seat.

It is time.
