RE: Single Parents Curation Post Number TWO! YEssssss
Awesome!!! Thank you for featuring me :) This is a cool project you got here, and it's always cool learning more about people on Steemit. I didn't realize you made music, too! I will have to go check your music out. I also didn't realize you had teaching experience. What do you do for work since you left that? Thanks again @dflo
I was a behavioral therapist in an elementary school for kids with severe emotional disturbances (this is a class of diagnoses in the DSM like severe anxiety, PTSD, autism, ODD, etc) . I did that to get my clinical hours so that I could get licensed as an LCSW. I was going to work through this school year but I burnt out bad in December, just couldnt do it any more and gave notice. I ended up working till mid Feb. Now I am tryingto start my own business as a coach. My focus and passion is community development, community mental wellness. So I am creating a bunch of webinars, groups, and individual plans for activists/advocates/artists... people who are trying to make the world a better place. I want to help support them so they can produce their best work (like trying to make community on Steemit qualifies as that kind of thing). Currently the only real income I have is a freelance gig for a friend and coaching ESL online. I am not making enough money so I am scrambling to build my products up ... while also producing enough art to share here on Steemit...and taxi my teenager around , cook for him, try and make the house clean ...... Its a lot! :) But we just do it, right? Thanks for participating in this! I will keep finding more parents to feature, and it would be fun to kind of cycle back around and check in on people later, too!
Wow you are busy as well! Love all the initiatives you got going on, and I wish you success in them. I think that's one thing I love the most about Steemit; how community driven people are on this platform. It really gives me a new found hope in humanity lol. So many like minded people out there. I'll see you around @dflo, keep it up :)
