Community makes everything sweeter and The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible sponsors who poured into this vision.

From breathtaking cottage stays to desserts that feel like hugs, to financial wisdom and florals that tell a story, every single sponsor has added something truly special to this experience.

A heartfelt thank-you to:
🏡 — gifting one lucky guest a 2-night mid-week stay in the most magical Muskoka cottage (seriously, it’s dreamy + one of my favourite staycation spots).
💛 .lens — for purchasing a ticket to raffle to our community and always leading with love.
🍰 .co — for the sweetest treats and your heart for meaningful connection.
🌸 .co — our floral genius + event planner extraordinaire bringing the unplugged vibe to life.
💻 — for sponsoring our venue spot & making this event possible + simplifying the business of therapy and championing the helpers who help others.
💅🏾 — for adding a little glam to our grounded moments.
💸 — for reminding us that money wellness is self-care.
🏢 — for being the perfect home for this year’s event.

These aren’t just sponsors, they’re community builders, each one helping create a space where therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals can rest, connect, and be reminded that they’re not alone in this work.

To every person and partner who said “yes” to this vision: thank you for helping us pull this year’s event together!

🎟️ There are a few seats left and tomorrow’s the big day (Nov 1…but it’s not too late to join us and experience the magic for yourself.

Listen… sometimes I just tell people I “work in communications” 😅
Because the moment I say therapist, it’s like, boom, instant confessional.
(IYKYK 👀)

Meanwhile, I’m over here just trying to load my car for The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged…carrying signs, snacks, and everybody’s emotions. 😂

But honestly? I wouldn’t trade this work for anything.
We also need spaces to refill too.

A quick glimpse into my morning as a therapist, private practice owner, and full-time human trying to slow things down before the day speeds up.

Some mornings it’s tea before charts.
Some mornings it’s admin before clients.
But every morning starts with being intentional about slowing my pace and protecting my peace.

Because let’s be honest,
running a private practice is a lot.

Client care, charting, scheduling, billing, video sessions, emails… all while trying to keep your own nervous system regulated.

That’s why I’m so grateful to have as a sponsor for this year’s Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged 🙌🏾

Jane makes life easier for therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners with one beautifully designed, all-in-one system that lets you:

🗓️ Book + schedule sessions
🧾 Chart, invoice, and process payments
💬 Offer secure video sessions
📱 Access everything from anywhere (yes, even your couch)

So even when I’m taking a slower morning, or catching up at The Therapists’ Lounge Collective this weekend, I know things are running smoothly behind the scenes…and that’s the peace of mind every practitioner deserves.

If you’re joining us at The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged this Saturday (November 1, 11a-4p), come say hi to the Jane team and learn how to make your days (and your mind) a little lighter.

Therapists need therapists.
And CEOs? We need people like .assistant .

Samantha (.assistant ) and I were sitting on the couch having a chat about how so many therapists, especially new ones, underestimate the importance of having their own therapist.

And, it’s wild, because when I mentioned in a recent talk that I have one, the whole room went quiet. Like… wait, you still see a therapist?

Yes. I do.
Because the more you pour into others, the more you realize how much you need safe spaces to pour back into you.

The same goes for business.
Having someone like my operations manager, Samantha, in my corner has changed everything.
She helps me zoom out when I’m too close to the details, points out blind spots I didn’t even know I had, and reminds me that I don’t have to do it all…or do it perfectly…or do it alone.

That’s the beauty of support, both emotional and operational.
My therapist helps me process what’s in me.
Samantha helps me manage all the business things around me.
And my hubby and trusted family/friends help me manage everything else.
And together, they help me show up as the best version of me…as a leader, a therapist, a wife, mom, friend and a human being.

Because help isn’t a weakness. It’s wisdom.
You can’t pour into clients from an empty cup…and you shouldn’t have to.

If you’ve been craving community, honest conversations, and a chance to refill your cup, The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged is where you need to be this Saturday.

It’s not just for therapists…coaches, VAs, and wellness professionals, this space was created with you in mind.
Real talk, real support, real connection.

✨ Last few seats left before we close the doors.
🎟️ Grab your ticket (link in bio).

👇🏾 Let’s talk…who’s your ‘Samantha’…give them a shoutout, don’t gatekeep!
The person who helps you see your blind spots, keeps you grounded, or just reminds you to breathe when life’s life-ing? Tag them below so they know they’re appreciated.

I used to think having my own practice meant I had to figure it all out on my own
…every decision,
every burnout cycle,
every “what now?” moment.

But that’s not sustainable. And honestly? It’s lonely.

That’s why I created The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged.
It’s not another conference. It’s a soft landing for therapists by therapists (and allied mental health professionals such as coaches, VA’s etc are also welcomed/encouraged to attend) who are tired of pretending they have it all together.

A space to exhale.
To talk about the things we’re all feeling but rarely say out loud…the fatigue, the money guilt, the imposter syndrome, the desire for balance and growth.

This Saturday, we’re unplugging:
🛋️ Real conversations…no fluff, no filters.
💬 Honest strategy from experts who get it.
🥂 Good food, cozy vibes, and connection that feels like home.

The Therapists’ Lounge Unplugged
Saturday November 1 (11a-4p)
(Etobicoke)

🎟 There are only a few tickets left
…and once they’re gone, that’s it.

So if you’ve been meaning to grab yours, now’s the time.
And if you already did? Send this to a colleague or friend who might just need that reminder: you don’t have to do this alone.

Community over competition.
Real talk. Real support. Real growth.

We were mid-shoot with some Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged content when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw it…my new Francis Psychotherapy / The Therapists’ Collective signs were finally going up.

I froze. Then I laughed. Then…the tears.
Because wow… this moment has been years in the making.

You see the highlights…the panels, the team, the new office, the tv appearances…but what you don’t always see are the tears, the second-guessing, the sleepless nights, the quiet prayers. The sacrifices that never make it to social.

To most, it’s “just a sign.”
But to me, it’s a symbol of obedience, of every season where I wanted to quit but didn’t. Of community that held me up when I couldn’t hold myself.

And the timing? Perfect.
Samantha (my right-hand & Operations Manager) and my SMM just happened to be with me…just a couple of the many people in my life who’ve watched me build this from the ground up.

These are the raw, unfiltered moments that remind me why The Therapists’ Lounge exists (and is SO needed).
Because we all need spaces where we can be real…where the tears and the triumphs coexist.
Where we can celebrate the wins and unpack the weight that comes with them.

That’s what The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged is about.
A safe, soul-level space for therapists, psychotherapists,
Social Workers, coaches, and wellness professionals to exhale, connect, and remember they’re not alone in this work.

We’re just a few days away…this Saturday, Nov 1st it all goes down.
Seats are almost gone.

If your soul’s been craving community, honest conversation, and a moment to just breathe… this is your sign. Literally.

At some point, we’ve all been guilty of wearing the Superhero Therapist cape way too tight. 🦸🏾‍♀️

Doing it all…the sessions, the admin, the marketing, the parenting…like rest is optional and asking for help is weakness.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t get extra credit for doing it all by yourself.
Every CEO, every clinician, needs support not because you can’t do it on your own, but because you shouldn’t have to.

When I finally started outsourcing and leaning into tools and people who make this work easier like my operations manager, Samantha (.assistant ), and our friends at (who keep our entire practice running seamlessly), I stopped surviving and started thriving. 🙌🏾

Because community > competition.
Healing and growth aren’t meant to happen in isolation.

If you needed a reminder to loosen that cape today:
You can be ambitious and still ask for help.
You can be a leader and still lean on your community.
You can run a business without running yourself into the ground.

Big thank-you to our sponsor …and yes, a Jane rep will be joining us live at The Therapists’ Lounge: Unplugged this Saturday to share insights, answer your questions, and connect in person.

And this year, we’re going even deeper…our vendors include VAs, systems experts, and small business partners who are ready to help you find the support and strategy you need to truly thrive.

🛋️ Real talk. Real support. Real community.
