Episode 18: Courage and Belief — Trusting It Will All Work Out [Featuring Marisol Colette A.K.A .The Fashion Therapist]

During this very powerful episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk w/ Marisol Colette AKA The Fashion Therapist. Marisol is the owner of Sol Reflection, as well as the co-host of the Reading Aloud Podcast.Marisol's journey is one of courage, strength, resilience, and resolve. She was diagnosed w/ cancer immediately after leaving the VA (and their federal health insurance benefits) behind.Marisol and I talk about our journeys out of community mental health, and Marisol shares her story about leaving a "safe, secure" job at the VA that paid extraordinarily well and offered fantastic benefits but was emotionally and physically exhausting.Instead of panicking and going back to a job that was no longer satisfying, she trusted her judgment, intuition, and ingenuity, creating something very unique and unbelievably special within the therapy world. Marisol created her business and stepped into becoming a "fashion therapist." She incorporates trauma and body-based therapy to help people embrace their bodies and feel confident in their clothing — incredibly creative to say the least!Fashion Therapist? What does that even mean? How does that work?Marisol and I talk about her creative genius and process, as well as both of our determination to do things differently. Some topics include: Thinking you can't make it or that your ideas are too "big"  The desire and determination to never go back to community mental health Our success stories while doing things "differently"  Our struggles to get to where we're at -------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank CPH & Associates for sponsoring this episode.Get a quote and apply at cphins.com/allthingsMentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!Visit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!

We specialize in supporting the Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and Black, Brown, and Asian communities online and across North Carolina. We also have limited in-person openings at our offices in Asheville and Cary. We really love working with clients who are coming to terms with both Autism and ADHD discoveries later in life or questioning, as well as the intersections of race, gender, identity, and orientation. All of our therapists have lived experience and identify as AuDHD, Autistic, or ADHD. Our team of affirming therapists offers a safe, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and accessible space where you can show up exactly as you are—no masking, no judgment, and no need to make eye contact, just real connection...
