Episode Details

A lot of therapists believe they need their full license, years behind them, and a perfect plan before they can build a business around something like sailing wellness retreats. Cheryl Greathouse is proof that the timeline can look completely different.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl, a counselor and newly minted boat captain who put her practice on hold for four and a half years, sailed across the Pacific, and came home to start over as a pre-licensed intern while leading women's wellness retreats on a yacht in Greece. We get into how she built a life and a model that fits her instead of the other way around, and why being pre-licensed has not slowed her down one bit.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• Why Cheryl put her therapy practice on hold and went sailing at 50.
• How she went from Army deckhand and powerboats to skippering her own boat.
• What a women's wellness retreat on a 48-foot yacht actually looks like day to day.
• How she handles her caseload and clients when she leaves for a month.
• Why she does not believe you have to wait for your license to do this work internationally.
