with Kelly McGlynn, LCSW

What happens when you’ve spent so much time in the patient’s seat that it shapes your entire purpose? In this episode, Jess and Jonesy sit down with psychotherapist Kelly McGlynn for a raw and honest look at what it really means to turn your personal healing into a professional mission.

Kelly shares how her own mental health journey led her to become a therapist later in life, how EMDR and DBT became pillars of her practice, and the surprising emotional weight that comes with holding space for others. We dive into secondary trauma, blurred boundaries, and why building a business from your pain is both powerful—and complicated.

This one’s for the founders, solopreneurs, and helpers who feel like the therapist in the room—even when it’s not your job.

Kelly is currently accepting new clients.

This one hits close. Jess and Jonesy are back in the studio with no guest, no outline, just real life and real energy.

Jess gets raw about slipping out of routine, battling the inner critic (say hi to Benjamin), and the mental spiral that can happen when your nervous system's off track. She shares how it feels to be "down" and the slow climb back to feeling grounded, clear, and alive again.

Jonesy adds his own take on how mental health and routines impact productivity, how he pivots when things get chaotic, and what Filipino stick fighting has to do with balance. (Yes, it’s a thing. Yes, it’s awesome.)

They cover everything from:

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel off, this one’s for you. Come for the chaos, stay for the clarity.

This week, Jess and Jonesy are taking on that loud, obnoxious voice in your head that says you're not good enough. Yep, we're talking about the inner critic. Where it comes from, how it shows up in your business and personal life, and why naming it (hi Danielle, hi Benjamin) can help you take your power back.

Jess is literally shaking hers off. Jonesy’s giving his a seat at the table... just not the mic.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, played small, or let fear drive the bus, this one’s for you.

What We Talk About:

Challenge for You:

Drop your inner critic’s name in the comments. Say it out loud. Claim it. Shut it down.

Mic Drop Moment:

“Danielle, unlike you, I can go to the gym about it.”

Mentioned in This Episode:

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Minding Our Business with Jess and Jonesy. We’re kicking things off by getting real about the one thing that’s shaped every win, every burnout, and every bounce-back in our entrepreneurial journeys: mindset.

Jess opens up about her struggles with depression, the power of self-awareness, and how DBT tools (yep, we’ll explain) became her lifeline. Jonesy shares how hockey, humor, and a therapy-savvy spouse have helped him navigate the chaos of running a business with anxiety.

We talk:

• Mental health as a business strategy

• The difference between proactive and reactive self-care

• Shame spirals, accountability groups, and the lies our inner critics love to tell

• Why your childhood hobbies might still be the key to your joy

• And how mindset isn't about just “thinking positive.” It's about doing the work daily, even when no one’s watching

This is founder well-being in full color. No fluff. No filters. Just two business owners talking about what it really takes to show up for your business and your life.

Drop one word in the comments to describe how you're feeling after this episode.

Welcome to the janky pilot, the rough cut, the soft launch of Minding Our Business — the podcast where two very different people (Jess and Jonesy) unpack the very real connection between mental health and entrepreneurship.

We’re not licensed professionals, but we are professionals at living through it.

In this teaser, you’ll meet your co-hosts and hear the raw, unfiltered reason this show exists.

• Why we’re doing this: Our stories, our breakdowns, and our breakthroughs

• Mental health and business: They’re not separate, and pretending they are is hurting people

• Interruptions, kids, and chaos: The real life behind “creating content”

• Perfection myths: From “Miss Sunshine” to panic attacks in the car

• Fact-checking your feelings: How we check ourselves before we spiral

• No filter: Crying in the car, fainting from stress, smiling as survival — this is the stuff we actually go through
