Kelly O'Sullivan McKenna started her private practice, Sit With Kelly, in February 2021. Sit With Kelly is fully virtual and aims to help therapy clients and aspiring therapists. Here's how McKenna spends a day, including client sessions and business administration. Kelly O'Sullivan McKenna started her own private therapy practice in February 2021 after working in the nonprofit mental-health industry for almost six years. The pandemic gave her opportunities to work virtually with clients one-on-one, an experience that sparked her interest in opening a business of her own. Last year, her mental-health company, Sit With Kelly, booked $350,000 in revenue — which comprised client work, business coaching, consulting, and social-media deals, documents verified by Insider showed. On any given day, her time might be divided between client therapy sessions, aspiring-therapist coaching calls, and digital-content creation, such as Instagram videos explaining social anxiety and posts with tips for managing burnout. Despite so many branches to her brand, McKenna intentionally shapes her daily schedule to best fit her business needs, and she works only 30 hours a week.  A post shared by Kelly McKenna | Anxiety Therapist + Biz Coach (@sitwithkelly) "I've experimented with a lot of different ways to do it over the past two years," she said, adding that she landed on dividing her tasks based on the day of the week. She sees clients on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and saves Wednesdays and Fridays for administration, coaching work, and filming social-media content.While McKenna makes a living by helping others manage burnout and anxiety, she, too, has struggled with her mental health. This Mental Health Awareness Month, McKenna told Insider how she schedules her days to manage her own anxiety and her advice for creating a work-life balance that works for you.

Members of the rap community have jumped to the defense of Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors after rapper Cam’ron suggested an intimate photo shoot featuring the actors was the reason he didn’t see “Creed III.”

On Saturday, Cam’ron uploaded to Instagram two photos of the “Creed III” stars from a photo shoot accompanying their recent feature in The New York Times.

The first photo shows Majors hugging Jordan from behind as they both look forward into the camera. In the second image, the actors are resting their heads on each other.

“The reason I didn’t go see creed,” the “Hey Ma” rapper captioned his post.

 

While Cam’ron did not elaborate, his caption appeared to be a criticism of the intimate nature of Jordan and Majors’ photo shoot.

Award-winning songwriter and rapper Skillz was among those to hit back at Cam’ron’s line of thinking.

“We are our own worst enemies smh. I tell all my homies I love em…Why? Cuz I do! Sometimes it throws em off but Ion care, Ima keep saying that ish. Tomorrow aint promised. We all getting older man & death is definitley certain. Its already hard enough out here for black men as it is bro,” Skillz wrote in his own Instagram post.

Skillz added: “How come men cant have healthy relationships with other men without masculinity or sexuality being questioned?”

Rapper Masta Ace commented on Skillz’s post: “Well said Skillz…. !!!! I’m sharing this absolutely!”

Jarobi White, a founding member of the hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, commented: “I think being afraid to show love to brothers because of being seen as gay is well…. Gay.”

DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia wrote: “My brother missing out cause its an Amazing movie! I’ve watched it five times and I’m not just saying that because we had the theme song in the trailer.”

Released on March 3, “Creed III” earned $58.7 million in its opening weekend in North America and a further $41.8 million overseas, according to Vibe.

As well as starring as the movie’s lead character, Adonis Creed, Jordan also directed the movie. 

Speaking about his directional debut in an interview with IndieWire, Jordan said the plot of the movie was inspired by anime series like “Naruto” and “Dragon Ball Z.”

“I love the thought process of anime, the internal dialog, and seeing the world through how [characters] think. They just achieve a level of action that live action just sometimes doesn’t give you,” he said.
