The year was 2021.
I had just opened Lingua in 2020 and our first little location in Kingston, PA in summer of 2021 was thriving.
I had two amazing clinicians join us and then my world crumbled, truly, because all of a sudden the wedding that was 3 weeks away was no more.
I left my partner of 6 years, my dogs, the home I owned and NEPA ( for the 2nd time ).
But, I couldn’t leave Lingua.
Instead, I nourished it.
Slowly, but I did. I made connections, I mentored our clinicians, I ran events, I saw patients virtually and in Bucks County. Then in Lehigh Valley when I moved there. Finally, I returned to NEPA. And built it up brick by brick, location by location, mistake by mistake, and success by success.
Now both Lingua and my personal life it is better than I could have dreamed of. It didn’t fall apart. It fell together.
Here we are 4 years later from hearing that little voice of doubt and I am so glad I have selective hearing 😉
