Meet Raffinée Wilson – Voyage Dallas Magazine | Dallas City Guide
Y'all...I had the opportunity to share my story with recently. The full interview went live yesterday and I decided to just share with my close friends and family first.
I'm so grateful for each opportunity I've been afforded over the past year. I really am living much more than I could have dreamed for my life. Check out my interview and let me know if you're surprised by any parts of my story.

In May 2021, I scheduled this photo shoot with AIR Designs for the launch of my therapy practice. I was nervous…and also excited…to finally be moving toward working for myself 100%.
Less than a week after the shoot…I hit a hard stop. I found out I wasn’t going to be able to open my practice as planned. I was devastated and felt defeated. I didn’t do any work for several weeks while processing this major loss. Then step in my friends to encourage me, “You WILL open your practice, just not now!”
Fast forward, 1 1/2 months later I took a 5 day challenge on getting paid to speak as a mental health professional with Dr. Kristen Guillory. Little did I know, this challenge would start me on a path to becoming a professional paid speaker.
In the past 12 months I have:
🌟completed a 5 month speaker coaching program (Aug 2021 - Jan 2022)
🌟been able to use photos from the May 2021 shoot for my speaker business
🌟booked over 12 speaking engagements (12 was my goal for 2022)
🌟traveled out of state to speak
🌟completed 2 rounds of my LISTEN Hear! 6 week series
🌟hosted several free & virtual workshops, seminars, and a 3 day challenge
🌟created, charged, and raised my speaker fees
🌟added a team member for admin support
🌟launched a podcast “Too Busy” streaming on 4 major outlets
🌟 planned a parent & teen retreat for October 2022
Most of these things brought up intense feelings of fear and worry yet I’ve decided to push through and do them anyway. People sometimes assume this journey has been and is easy peasy! It’s not! Yet, I’m committed to doing the work I feel called and purposed to do.
Getting the opportunity to influence the lives of my therapy clients, speaking clients, family, friends, and even strangers is such a dream. I do not take any opportunity for granted.

🚌It's back to school time!! 🚌
How often do you ask your teen, “How are you?” and they say...
“Fine."
“Good.”
"Okay.”
Those answers don't really tell you how they are doing.
Try asking one, or multiple, of the following questions instead to spark some additional dialogue.
Let me know how it goes in the comments!

Much of the work I do today is rooted in the gratitude I have for being blessed with the most amazing godparents, mentors, youth leaders, aunts/uncles (biological and chosen), and educators.
They saw greatness in me and, as an adolescent, could often say the same thing my mom was saying but because they weren't her...I would listen.
Beginning this Sunday, July 17th I'll be hosting a 3 day challenge for influential adults of teens. We’ll discuss strategies to bridge the gaps that exist in communication, technology, and emotions. I am committed to supporting adults in creating lasting and healthy connections with the teens in their life.
This challenge is virtual, FREE, and includes replays, as long as you register.
