The morning sun filtered through the blinds of Nancy’s consultation room at Thee Fantasy Shoppe, casting warm stripes across her desk. She arrived early each day, taking time to prepare her space and center herself before meeting with clients. The room had evolved over the months, becoming a sanctuary where people felt safe sharing their most intimate concerns.
She paused to adjust the tasteful display of educational materials and wellness products on her consultation shelf. January’s promotional materials highlighted special offerings for the new year—a time when many of her clients felt inspired to focus on their personal wellness journey.

Today’s first appointment was with Mark and Lisa, a couple married for over three decades. They sat close together on the comfortable loveseat, hands clasped, as they shared their story. Like many long-term couples, they had found themselves drifting apart, their once-vibrant connection dimmed by years of routine and life’s demands.
Through her window, Nancy could see the Florida sunset painting the sky in shades of coral and gold. As she prepared to leave for the day, a new thank-you card caught her eye on the photo wall—it was from Carla. Inside was a photo of Carla at her daughter’s wedding, radiant in a burgundy dress, her smile confident and genuine. “Thank you for helping me find myself again,” the note read. “I danced every dance at the reception.”
Nancy touched the card gently, remembering the woman who had first entered her office wrapped in insecurity. Now Carla led one of their weekly support groups, helping other women navigate their own journeys of rediscovery. It was moments like these that made Nancy grateful for this unexpected path her life had taken.
She glanced at her schedule for tomorrow—a veteran working through physical trauma, a widow taking her first steps toward dating, a couple married forty years seeking to renew their connection. Each client brought their own story, their own challenges, their own hopes. And Nancy was ready to help them all find their way to joy and connection, one consultation at a time.
