Meet Trailblazer Mary Osborne

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mary Osborne.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I am a blogger at www.yourtrendytherapist.com. You can also find me on instagram @yourtrendytherapist. YourTrendyTherapist was first established ~ 3 years ago as a creative outlet specifically related to fashion, travel, and therapy. I work in the medical profession full time as an Occupational Therapist and created my blog as a way to way to connect with other medical professionals along with other fashionistas like myself.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I absolutely love blogging. It’s a way to share my style, travel, beauty, and therapy advice and connect with other like-minded professionals all around the world. I would be lying if I said it’s been a completely smooth road. There are times when I’ve felt like giving up along the way. It’s hard when you see this “perfect” world displayed through social media and start comparing yourself to others. I’ve talked to several other bloggers and realized that a lot of people struggle with feeling this way. When I find myself playing the comparison game, I reframe my mindset and focus on being compassionate and authentic to myself and others. My advice would be to always stay true to yourself, be kind to others, and remember you were called to be different and make a positive impact on others in the world around you.

We’d love to hear more about Your Trendy Therapist.
Full time, I work my day job as an Occupational Therapist in a skilled nursing facility. I work on my blog part-time, combining all of my favorite topics on my website www.yourtrendytherapist.com. I would say I’m most known for my ability to coordinate & style outfit pieces in various ways. I’m most proud of my husband, who pushed me to believe in myself and overcome my fear of initially getting started with blogging. I’m also so thankful for my loyal readers and everyone who has supported me along the way. With so many other creative and amazing bloggers out there, it’s hard to say what truly sets me apart from others. I will say I try my best to integrate all aspects of my life into my blog, including therapy, fashion, beauty, travel. I showcase my everyday life through my Instagram stories while displaying all of the aesthetically pleasing photos to my Instagram feed. This allows people to see my real life intermixed with my creative side.

Which women have inspired you in your life?
I’m most inspired by my mom, for teaching me the importance of compassion. I also admire Annie Spano, the founder of Style Collective. Style collective is a community for female influencers to connect, grow, and learn to be successful bloggers and entrepreneurs. I joined this community shortly after I first started blogging and have connected with so many amazing women. I love that they stand for the community over competition.
