Getting Yourself to "Right" Before You Launch Your Career
finding your presence
According to Chinese Medicine 101, “What we observe on the outside gives us an indication as to what is occurring on the inside.” It is such an integral and basic tenet of our medicine. So, why do we forget about how this may reflect in other parts of our life?
Imagine your practice as a reflection of all of your own inner workings. The current message of our time and of how to proceed is this:
Find you, trust yourself, have faith, work from your heart and ask for the next step to get you where you want to go. Your practice will be a reflection of how clear you are about yourself. Get clear on the inside. The rest will work itself out.
I can’t tell you how much time I have spent reveling this tenet in relationship to our current world situation. Weaving it’s tendrils in the degradation of our Planet. A Pandemic. Worldwide unrest. Is there actually a diagnosis for what we are experiencing? How can we help? How can we ground ourselves and find the opportunities, or pearls in the midst of this chaos?
Bigger yet, how do we cultivate an inner clarity that will reflect in our new practice, change our current practice and help heal the greater macrocosm?
After listening to this podcast about 6 times in the editing process I am humbled by how simple yet profound it is.
Dr. Cailin O’Hara shines in this podcast. She inspires me. I think you will feel the same.

Cailin and I felt alone that first year. You are not alone. The first couple years out of school can be really rough. Not for everyone of course, but if you feel alone shoot me an email at hello@acusprout.com. I also look forward to bringing you more of Cailin in the AcuSprout office hours. (Coming soon!)
Getting yourself right and in alignment is a major part of starting your practice. Work on this first.
Coaching can move you along and amplify your efforts. It can be worth the investment!
Cailin has a niche practice with diversified ways of being of service. She has a podcast, instagram videos, a youtube channel, coaching for emotional healing and entrepreneurs, and a Chinese Medicine practice. There’s more. Go take a look!
We do actually talk briefly about her online presence and some tools she uses.
resources
Canva is an amazing resource that we both use for creating newsletters, graphics, instagram stories, logos, etc. It is free unless you decide that you want to keep your quick goto files in there and customize everything for branding, which I recommend. It’s really awesome.
Cailin mentions JaneApp for scheduling and keeping her schedule. You can hear how much she loves it, loves it, loves it.
