Show Notes

In this episode, Patrick Casale talks with Dr. Arielle Jordan—LCPC, Trauma Therapist, army veteran, author, and founder of Mindset Quality. Her wisdom on redefining resilience and building authentically healing businesses is a must-hear for anyone in the therapy, mental health, or entrepreneurial space.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Redefining Resilience and Leadership: Dr. Jordan reminds us that healing work is not just about symptom relief, but about changing what leadership and resilience genuinely look like—especially for Black women and those in high-pressure helping professions. “What I build now has to heal me too,” she shares.
2. Boundaries Are Essential: Building a business or practice that looks great on Instagram but drains you from the inside is not sustainable. Learning to say “no” and prioritizing your own energy and healing is critical to longevity in this work.
3. Joy Shouldn’t Wait: If you keep pushing joy to the bottom of your to-do list, you’ll never get to it. Dr. Jordan is passionate about experiences that help professionals, veterans, and first responders learn to truly live and thrive after trauma—not just survive.

Healing, leadership, and entrepreneurship can—and should—be integrative, authentic, and sustainable.
