In the healthcare and private practice industry, it can be a daily struggle to find a balance between the heart of purpose-driven work and ensuring your business is profitable and successful. Sometimes we have to remember that it is not only okay for your business to profit, but necessary! That doesn’t mean our business mission and vision isn’t providing a critical service to our community.

To help us unpack this, we are chatting with Monique Castro this week. With over 17 years of experience, Monique is the founder of Indigenous Circle of Wellness. The practice serves the indigenous community by providing mental health providers and resources directly by and for the tribes and indigenous communities nationwide. As an indigenous woman herself, Monique has invested in her community while also honoring the importance and sustainability of her practice.
