I am a mental health therapist, and my husband is also a mental health therapist. and we have worked for years for other companies. And one day we decided that I was going to go ahead and start my own thing. I was just really tired of working for other people and working for really large organizations that I felt not only did not have the client's best interests at heart, but didn't have clinicians' best interests at heart.

it spans the globe like a super high school internet elvis today apple is going to reinvent the phone it's not over until i win the living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast.
Today, I am joined by... Kaitlin Martins. Kaitlin Martins. Now, Kaitlin, you just finished recording your episode. Talk to me a little bit about, like, what's the number one lesson you want people to be able to take away from your story?
The number one lesson I would like people to take away from would be about how it is possible to be a mother and be able to own your own business as well. Although it does require a lot of effort and there are days that go well and there are days that go not so well.
How did Katelyn decide to leave large mental health organizations and start Arrow Behavioral Health?
It's still something that if you're passionate about, you can absolutely have both things.
She said, I'm a mother, ladies and gentlemen. And I find that to be so true. I've interviewed so many clients, especially for women in power. And the motherhood story is usually one of like, you got to kind of figure this out on your own. There's no playbook on how to be a mom and a business owner at the same time. What were those early days like?
Those early days were really hard. Those were the days when I probably did not see my children as often as I would have liked. You know, there were days when I was working all throughout the day. I would take a break, you know, see them for a bit after school. And then once they went to bed, I would go back to working. And those days were very long, but it was absolutely worth it.
Because you're building something at the end of the day that's going to not only outlast you, but it's going to last with them. Right. And like, you know, as a business owner myself, it's like you have like the 16 hour days, the 18 hour day. Like sometimes you pull some really ridiculous hours as a business owner. Yes. But talk to me a little bit about your business. What's the founding story here?
So I am a mental health therapist and my husband is also a mental health therapist. And we have worked for years for other companies and other businesses as therapists providing therapy for individuals, for couples, for families. And one day we decided that. you know, that I was going to go ahead and start my own thing. And it was at a point when I was just really tired of working for other people and working for really large organizations that I felt not only did not have the client's best interest at heart, but didn't have clinicians' best interest at heart. And as a therapist, you know, you spend so much time holding space for your clients and for the people around you that you need to work in an environment that is supportive and caring of you as a person as well.
And that was ultimately my goal, was to be able to not only support individuals in their mental health journey, but also have a space that was conducive for therapists and their ability to grow in their professional lives.
