Business + life design for eldest daughters…
or those embodying therapist eldest daughter energy :)
Hey there! I'm Lauren—a licensed therapist and business mentor helping experienced clinicians build practices that don't require burnout to be profitable.
The same patterns that make you an excellent therapist? They're killing your business. You overgive, undercharge, feel weird about marketing, and wonder why you're exhausted despite being "successful."
I've spent over a decade building businesses (Nine to Kind, my therapy practice) while learning what sustainable actually looks like. Now I help therapists redesign their practices with therapy informed business strategy—not generic advice that ignores your clinical reality.
My approach: Direct, honest mentorship that tells you what's not working and what to do instead. I don't sugarcoat uncomfortable truths. Think big sister business coach with compassionate call out energy.

The Nine to Kind Possibility Planner
Your planner shouldn’t make you feel like crap. This isn't another productivity planner that solely focuses on goals. It's a planner designed for people who care deeply and need a system that actually reminds them to take a break, have some self compassion, and tackle that avoided task with care. Finally, a planner that gets that life is complicated.

what is the kind approach?
Self Compassion is more than a mindset shift, it is a series of actions we take to do life differently.
This 4 step approach takes the messy and makes it approachable. Complicated feelings simplified.

Knowing yourself is learning to view ourselves and our experiences in an objective way. It’s a compassionate call out of our habits, situations, wants, and what life actually is. Instead of ignoring, we are facing things head on but with a curious stance. We must befriend every part of ourselves... including the ones we’ve avoided—in order to truly change.
-
Nervous system health is all about what’s happening “eyebrows down” in our bodies. We bridge the compassionate mindset with bringing ease into our bodies. Think grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and becoming more in tune with what your body is trying to say. No more masking on autopilot. Our bodies are what carry self compassion from something we know to something we live.
-
Burnout often comes from a lack of clarity. Using that same objective stance, we are going to clearly name our values and what we want out of life. You learn how to dream big without editing, allowing room for all the possibilities to come in. Naming your wants and needs is an act of radical self respect.
-
Your life worth living is built on small shifts—the ones no one claps for, but you feel in your bones. Using our unedited brainstorm, we identify next steps and shifts to work towards a values guided life. Life becomes one big experiment, where perfection is left behind and we learn to pivot with ease. It’s about doing what works and adapting when it doesn’t.
nice words from awesome people
