Bea Arthur, Entrepreneur & Therapist

Your New Life Blend

Can you thrive in spaces that were not designed for you? Can you still achieve your highest purpose when you feel like you're under water? What keeps us grounded and focused on what's waiting for us just beyond the hard part? Bea Arthur is an entrepreneur and therapist who has seen patients and colleagues struggle with these questions in her practice and in building her companies - and has also found herself wondering those very things, keenly and deeply. As a trailblazing Black woman - the first African-American female founder accepted by Y Combinator, and frequently in spaces where she is the "first" or the "lone”’- Bea has become even more aware of how important it is to prioritize mental health, and even more passionately committed to her own highest purpose: helping people live easier, happier lives. In this episode of “Your New Life Blend,” host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Bea about her on-demand therapy service, The Difference, her journey as a founder in the online therapy world (and how *that’s* been going over the past few years!), her new live comedy/therapy show “Tribulations” hosted with the Daily Show’s Roy Wood Jr., and how she finds joy, humor, love and purpose every day living in her body in this chaotic and beautiful world.
