“We wanted to be able to create a sense of a peace of mind. That's one of the things I'm always talking to people about. When you're tired of being tired, you just want a peace of mind.”

In this episode, hear from LaTesha McIntosh-Smith, founder of Coralus Venture A Peace of Mind Counseling Services. LaTesha joins Development Guide Loren Walsh to discuss her background as a licensed clinical social worker and her journey into entrepreneurship, A Peace of Mind's four-tiered approach: outpatient mental health clinical services, integrative wellness services, civic engagement, and educational department, and the company's civic engagement initiatives to give back to the community.

They also discuss:

• Her company's emphasis on helping individuals find fulfilling careers rather than just jobs
• Challenges faced, including financial struggles, especially opening during the pandemic, and difficulty accessing financial assistance
• Her experience with the Coralus community thus far, especially connecting with other healthcare-related Ventures
• Plans for the future, including establishing a nonprofit arm
• Current programs, like Career Pathways to Success, aiming to support youth facing barriers in education and life
