Story & Lesson Highlights with Maggie McCane of Tucson, AZ

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Maggie McCane. Check out our conversation below.

Maggie, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
My alarm is set for 5:30am, but Im still in the habit of hitting snooze once or twice before getting up. I take my vitamins, do my hygiene then I must eat breakfast. I try to stick to high protein and fat and low carb/sugar diet so breakfast is eggs and ground beef or turkey. I drink as much water as I can while I get ready. Once I’m fully ready, I sit down with a cup of coffee and have quiet/reflection/prayer time. This gets me centered before I start thinking about the day and absolutely transforms my day. I can feel the difference when I miss this. By 7:30am I’m ready to start work!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Maggie McCane, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m the founder and owner of Rehoboth Therapy & Wellness, a boutique mental health clinic based in Arizona. I founded this company with the mission to focus on men’s mental health. I believe that while the field has made strides for women and children, men are still too often left out of the conversation. I wanted to create a space where men specifically could feel confident their needs will be met, and healing is possible for them too.

My philosophy is simple: hurt people hurt people, but healed people heal people. I believe the work I do with one individual can spark a ripple effect that touches families, communities, and beyond. Right now, I’m growing my practice, hiring two brilliant colleagues and hope to grow to a team of ten in the next year.

I’m also growing myself. Leadership wasn’t something I expected to fall in love with, but here I am growing tremendously in this role. It’s been a beautiful surprise, and if you told me five years ago that this would be my favorite part of entrepreneurship, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Sheesh—what a question! Before the world chimed in, I was a thinker, a dreamer, deeply creative and endlessly curious. I’ve always been intelligent, hard-working, and full of ideas. But along the way, I got the message (more than once) to tone it down. To stop doing so much. To “sit there and look pretty.” I wish I could say I brushed it off—but I didn’t. I shrank. I deferred. I let others take the lead.

But those quiet inner nudges never stopped. And eventually, God got my attention in a way I couldn’t ignore, louder than the noise of the world. That divine nudge is what pushed me to start my business, even though I felt shaky and unsure. And because I believe in asking for help, I hired the most incredible business coach, and she’s been instrumental in helping me return to the person God originally created me to be—not the watered-down version the world had in mind.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I was just reflecting on this the other day. Suffering has a way of chiseling something into you that success never could: the power of perseverance. To be great, you can’t give up—period. And I don’t know if I’d have that kind of grit or clarity if I hadn’t lived through something that made me want to give up, yet chose not to.

There was a season early in my marriage that tested every fiber of my being. My husband and I were struggling deeply, and I truly believed walking away would be easier. I had all the logic lined up—how I could start fresh, make wiser choices, and “get it right” next time. But I stayed. I did the harder thing. And I’m so grateful I did.

Now that I’m building a business, I see the parallels so clearly. There are days when starting over sounds tempting—when it seems like I’d do it better, smarter, faster the next time around. But I know now: greatness doesn’t come from constantly starting over. It comes from staying, learning, growing, and choosing to keep showing up when it would be easier to bow out.

Suffering taught me that. Success never could have.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
My number one hero has always been Rosa Parks. And once I learned more about Harriet Tubman, she quickly joined her at the top of my list. Neither woman held traditional power—but their character was unmatched. Their integrity, boldness, and unshakable sense of justice still leave me in awe. They did the right thing, not because it was safe or easy, but because it was right.

They valued human life, dignity, and equality above their own comfort, and that’s the kind of legacy that truly changes the world. I often ask myself: What if we all lived like that? What if we set aside selfishness, pride, and prejudice and simply treated people with respect and compassion?

Their stories remind me that character matters more than titles ever could. And when I’m faced with hard decisions, I think of them and choose courage.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing? 
The only thing I think I’d truly regret is not spending more time with my family. And honestly, I already spend a good amount of time with them. But I know I could be more present, more intentional. There are times I say yes to one more email, one more task, one more idea, instead of just shutting it down and Facetiming my nephew, going on a walk with my husband, or calling my mom back right when she calls.

We hear it all the time from people who “made it”—that at the end of the day, it’s your people who matter most. But sometimes I still get caught up chasing the next goal, the next win. This question is a good gut-check for me. I don’t want to look back and realize I chose productivity over presence too many times. I want to get it right more often than not.
