Episode 3: Setting Bougie Boundaries In Your Private Practice [featuring Montoyia McGowan]
In this episode, I talk with Montoyia McGowan, LCSW and owner of Stopping The Chase Counseling and Consulting out of Memphis, TN.
Montoyia tells her story from working at the VA to starting her private practice and consulting business which focuses on BIPOC entrepreneurs and helps empower creatives and the working well to stop the mentally exhausting cycle of chasing people, places, things, and relationships we often feel would contribute to our happiness.
We discuss "Bougie" boundaries, the need for self-care and working through codependency, and "NOT BEING A JESUS JR."
Montoyia is a force to be reckoned with in the field and has her own podcast and YouTube channel: Bougie Black Therapist.
This was a really enjoyable episode because Montoyia has such a fun perspective on topics that are really difficult for helping professionals.
