Three years ago today, I did something that felt wildly irresponsible on paper and absolutely necessary in my SOUL 🔥
I walked away from a steady paycheck.
From predictability.
From the comfort of knowing exactly what would hit my bank account every two weeks.(+ those extra commissions at month end)
I walked away from a company I once loved. One I helped build in a brand new BEAUTIFUL location. One that shaped me in those early years and gave me some of the fiercest, MOST beautiful connections of my career. (You know who you are💋)
But once the owners sold it was acquired, & something shifted.
Decisions were made from “uppers” out of state.
Quotas got louder.
Patient care got quieter.
And somewhere in the shuffle, I went from Miranda… to an employee ID number with a production target attached.
That never sat right with me.
Because I don’t see faces as numbers. I don’t see appointments as time slots to fill. I don’t see care as something to rush through.
I valued myself more than that.
I valued my patients more than that.
So I bet on autonomy.
On integrity.
On doing things the right way, not the fastest way.
On creating a space where time is intentional and care is never compromised.
On building something that felt aligned instead of assigned.
