Meet Ciera Young

We recently connected with Ciera Young and have shared our conversation below.

Ciera , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
It was not an easy journey to finding or accepting my purpose. I jumped from idea to idea trying to find what was going to work for me, however life is always the best teacher. Being a person who has experienced trauma, navigating emotional challenges and suffering with low self-esteem, being at my lowest and finding the power in that helped me reach my purpose. I found that it was necessary for me to own my story; the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Doing so, sat me in a position of power to not only empower myself but also empower others.

Make sure to check out how I learned to OWN MY STORY. View here: https://youtu.be/_sAiEbHxX1o

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I realize the stigma that is still associated with therapy. As the Mental Health Homegirl I understand that there is so much value in learning about mental health Beyond the White Couch. I offer a variety of services that help people learn how to own their story and transform their lives to be the best version of themselves.

Beyond the White Couch transforms the mindset of those who desire healing and want to integrate it in their daily lives versus once a week on a therapist couch.

My authentic, transparent, and relatable vibe gives my clients and those who connect with me, permission to show up authentically regardless of where they are in life or what they have going on.

I am excited about the launch of my video which is not live on YouTube. You can view it here: https://youtu.be/_sAiEbHxX1o

I also have an upcoming coaching program designed for entrepreneurs looking to level up their mindset and mental health so they are able to thrive.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The qualities I believe that have been most impactful on my journey is integrity, vulnerability, and creativity. As business owner, there are so many things you face and it can be very challenging to balance it all. I find that leveraging my creativity does not happen if I am not vulnerable about my capacity and emotions. I also understand how essential it is to be creative and have integrity in anything I do.

If you are early in your journey, find out what works best for you. Don’t allow what you see on social media or the voices of other people take you away from what you truly desire, and if you struggle in this area, tackle working on your mindset first before you dive into investing in coaches, courses, and programs.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I would love to collaborate with business owner and/or coaches who offer services to entrepreneurs or people looking to grow financially in their business. Mindset is the key to it all and I believe there is value to having a therapist on the team who offers insight on the mental health and mindset aspect to being successful. I offer coaching, consulting and partnership for entrepreneur wellness retreats as well.

If you are looking to partner/collaborate, please emailed me at [email protected]
