Bernadette's Grad School Journey: Embracing Growth and New Horizons in Mental Health Counseling



"In the journey of life and learning, each challenge is a stepping stone to growth, and every experience, a chapter in the story of our transformation." - Bernadette Henry

Hello, everyone! Bernadette here, and I'm beyond excited to update you on my incredible journey through grad school for mental health counseling. As I wrap up my first semester, I'm reflecting on the experiences, challenges, and immense learning that has filled these past months. Join me as I share insights from my coursework, my evolving content creation process, and the celebration of a significant milestone in my journey as an author and a mental health advocate.


The First Semester: A World of Learning


- Courses and Key Learnings: I dove into ethics and counseling this semester and an introduction to mental health counseling. These courses have been eye-opening, deepening into the ethical considerations and foundational aspects of mental health counseling.


- Realizations and Inspirations: I've appreciated the vast opportunities and responsibilities of being a mental health counselor through my studies. This understanding has fueled my passion and excitement for the path ahead.


Next Steps: Upping the Ante


- Upcoming Semester: Next semester is about ramping up the challenge with three classes. I'm gearing up for more learning, more growth, and, of course, keeping those positive vibes flowing.


- Balancing Academics and Creativity: Managing my academic responsibilities and two Instagram pages has been a balancing act. I'm re-evaluating how to deliver the best content that inspires and gives a deeper insight into who I am beyond just the physical act of jumping rope.


Reflecting and Looking Forward


- End of Year Reflections: As the year draws to a close, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for what the new year will bring. This period of reflection is a time to acknowledge growth, set new goals, and embrace the journey ahead.


- Content Creation and Personal Branding: My goal is to create content that resonates, motivates, and reveals more of my journey. I want to connect with my audience on a deeper level, sharing my skills in jumping rope and my growth as a person and a professional in mental health counseling.


Celebrating Milestones


- One Year of 'Jumping The Rope': It's been almost a year since the release of my book 'Jumping The Rope, Move Yourself and Manifest Your Success.' I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and love it has received. This book represents a significant chapter in my life, and I'm thrilled to continue sharing insights and stories that encourage living, thriving, and reinventing oneself.


This journey through grad school and beyond has been nothing short of transformative. As I navigate the challenges and triumphs of my academic and creative endeavors, I am reminded of the power of perseverance, the joy of learning, and the beauty of sharing one's journey with others. Here's to more growth, education, and inspiring content in the coming days. Stay tuned for what's next on this exciting journey!
