9 Years of Healing, Building, and Becoming
Today, Myers-Galloway Counseling has reached 9 years in business.
And Iโll be honest โ Iโm just really starting to understand what Iโm doing.
Iโm just really starting to understand the true purpose behind it all.
It took a major life interruption for me to slow down long enough to walk this thing out with clarity. To see that what Iโve been building all along isnโt just a practice โ itโs a movement of healing, responsibility, and restoration.
Hereโs what Iโve learned so far:
1. This is monumental work.
Most service-based businesses are created to help others. But this? This is deeper.
Iโm helping people rewrite entire belief systems, dismantle emotional survival strategies, and reclaim identities they were never given permission to hold.
Thatโs not just โhelping peopleโ โ thatโs liberation work.
2. I had to figure it out along the way.
My love for learning kept me stuck in perfectionism and analysis paralysis more times than I can count.
But every experiment, every mistake, and every risk built the version of me who could now lead with conviction instead of constant comparison.
3. Leadership is service and trust.
I didnโt always trust myself โ and I definitely didnโt trust the process.
But over time, I realized I donโt need 100% of the information to make a decision.
My risk tolerance grew. My faith deepened.
And Iโve learned that leading is less about knowing everything, and more about being willing to keep showing up โ certain that I am capable.
4. Motherhood and entrepreneurship taught me expansion.
Both require nurturing, boundaries, and patience โ especially with myself.
5. Marriage taught me partnership, not perfection.
Running a business while building a family showed me that alignment takes constant tending, not balance.
6. Business didnโt break me โ it revealed me.
Every challenge, loss, or hard season showed me what Iโm really made of.
Each one gave me more clarity, conviction, and confidence in who I am and why Iโm here.
7. Witnessing others heal is witnessing legacy in motion.
When my clients begin to heal, they donโt just feel better โ they expand.
They gain the capacity to reach their dreams, to parent differently, to love themselves and others more deeply, and to change every space they walk into.
8. Growth required outgrowing old versions of myself.
Each new level of impact asked me to shed something โ fear, control, or the illusion that I had to do it alone.
9. The story isnโt over.
Iโm just getting started โ building spaces, systems, and legacies that let Black women breathe deeper and lead freer.
I built a business around healing others and witnessing others overcome their deepest obstacles. Somewhere along the way, it healed me too.
If youโve been part of this journey in any wayโthank you.
