Episode 114 : Navigating Business Growth, Burnout, and a New Direction, with Founder and Coach: Carla Pelcastre

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined by Carla Pelcastre, Founder, CEO and clinician at Second Wave Counseling, PLLC, and Founder of Second Wave Coaching.

Carla shares how an unexpected move into private practice grew into a group practice, and what it feels like to step into something new after 10 years in mental health. We talk about the bravery of sharing a new coaching offer before it has traction, and trusting that being new to one part of business doesn’t erase years of experience.

You’ll also hear how focusing on clients can help quiet some of the overthinking that comes with business growth, and why facing difficult decisions directly matters.

And we talk about joy. Not the big, perfect version. Just those small sparks that can make a difference when you love your work but you’re feeling burned out or overwhelmed.

If you’re building an online business and finding your next direction, this one might be what you need right now.
