    137. Celiac Disease and the Traveling Therapist Life: Navigating Food, Anxiety, and Health on the Road with Christina Kantzavelos and Erin Davis
    Oct 6 2024
    In this special edition of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, Kym Tolson candidly shares the struggles of traveling while living with Celiac disease, a chronic condition that affects how she navigates food and health on the road. She is joined by fellow therapists Erin Davis and Christina Kantzavelos, who also live with Celiac disease, and together they open up about the challenges they face as they balance their nomadic lifestyles with managing a restrictive diet. Each of them shares their personal stories of late diagnoses and the hardships they endured before realizing gluten was the culprit behind years of discomfort and illness. Throughout the episode, they discuss the emotional toll that living with Celiac disease brings, from the anxiety of dining out to the frustration of navigating social situations where food is involved. The conversation sheds light on the daily obstacles of avoiding cross-contamination and how the condition impacts their mental health. Despite the challenges, they also share practical tips for fellow travelers with Celiac, offering both hope and understanding for anyone facing similar struggles on the road. Key points from this episode: Healing the gut is crucial for improving mental health in chronic illness, as gut issues can significantly impact brain function. Gluten exposure often triggers intense anxiety and PTSD-like symptoms, making it difficult to trust food in social or restaurant settings. Celiac disease causes grief over lost food experiences and social challenges, as managing cross-contamination becomes a constant struggle.

  • 135. Biz Owners + Top 6 Overlooked Tax Write Off Categories = More Cash In The Bank with Danielle Hayden

    135. Biz Owners + Top 6 Overlooked Tax Write Off Categories = More Cash In The Bank with Danielle Hayden
    Sep 22 2024
    Did you know that overlooking just a few tax deductions could leave hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on the table? I recently sat down to chat with Danielle Hayden, a seasoned CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc. She dropped some gems that could reshape how you approach your finances as a Traveling Therapist. First up, separating your business and personal expenses. It can be tempting to swipe your personal card for a quick work lunch or buy office supplies while shopping for home essentials. But, being meticulous here ensures you're capitalizing on every legitimate deduction. Now, if you're netting between $50K and $75K annually, it might be time to consider structuring as an S Corp. Yep, paying yourself a reasonable salary can seriously cut down on that self-employment tax burden. And trust me, having a business structure that aligns with your income level is a game-changer. Here’s a golden nugget: pay attention to how you show up financially. Are you grabbing that coffee to brainstorm some work ideas? Use your business card. But if it's just a morning treat, stick with personal finances. It hurts to see money wasted, especially thinking it's saving taxes. Spending $1 to save $0.40 isn't smart. Have you ever been told to go on a spending spree to reduce your taxable income? That advice can backfire, big time. Nicole, one of Danielle's clients, faced debt after following such misguided advice. Key points Separate Business and Personal Expenses: Keeping business and personal expenses distinct helps ensure you're maximizing every legitimate tax deduction. Consider S Corp Structure: If your net income is between $50K and $75K, structuring as an S Corp and paying yourself a reasonable salary can reduce self-employment taxes. Track Deductions and Expenses: Meticulously track deductions like home office use, mileage, and business-related expenses to avoid wasting money and ensure you're financially optimized year-round. About Danielle Hayden: Danielle Hayden is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc. a bookkeeping and accounting firm that is on a mission to coach six figure (+ beyond) female entrepreneurs so they can better understand their numbers through bookkeeping, financial analysis, and support so they can grow profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses. With over 15 years experience in the world of finance, Danielle has worked her way from accounting firm intern to the Co-Founder of Kickstart Accounting. She understands how complex business finances can be, and she knows that entrepreneurs need more than just a bookkeeper; they need real financial analysis and support in order to get the confidence required to create the sustainable wealth they deserve. Danielle brings a unique perspective when it comes to providing business owners with “the total package” as it relates to their finances. She has been a guest on multiple top-rated shows including, The EntreMD Podcast, Private Practice Workshop and Practice of the Practice. She is also the host of the Business By the books podcast. When Danielle isn't in her money mindset work you can find her hiking or spending time with her family.
