Your Recovery & Redemption Story Uniquely Qualifies You to Mentor
If you've overcome major life issues like sexual addiction or betrayal trauma, you know you've got a lifetime of learned experiences and hard-earned knowledge stored up.
But did you know you're sitting on a treasure chest of wisdom - aka intellectual capital - that millions of people need and would gladly pay you to guide them through their own crisis?
This fact combined with a rapidly growing mental health crisis has created a unique window of opportunity for the emergence of a rewarding new vocation - Professional Mentoring!
Who's qualified to be a Professional Mentor? Lots of people:
- Men and women from their 20's to their 70's and beyond
- Men and women from all walks of life and occupations
- People in addiction recovery who are sober and growing
- People committed to healing from betrayal and trauma
- Recovery or support group members, leaders, and sponsors
- Pastoral counselors, ministry leaders, and church staff
- Counselors, therapists, and mental health coaches
Basically, anyone who is passionate and healthy enough to share their hard-earned wisdom and learned experiences with others can - and should - become a mentor.
From Volunteer Helper to Paid Mentor
You probably knew early on in your recovery from sexual addiction or betrayal trauma that you wanted to give back and help others like you find the freedom and healing they so desperately wanted. So you spent years working on your recovery or healing from the trauma of betrayal. And you've learned a lot over those years.
Let me know if this sounds like you…
- You spent years immersing yourself in every book, course, online summit, and intensive you could afford learning what you needed to know.
- You also wasted time and money getting the wrong kind of help at times from ill-informed pastors, counselors, or ministry leaders.
- At times, you found yourself educating others on the finer points of recovery and healing after learning you knew more than they did about it.
- Maybe you tried starting or helping out with a support group at church but grew weary of the lack of support from church leadership.
- Or maybe you liked helping out as a volunteer but suffering from "compassion fatigue" and wondered if there was another way.
Whether you're just beginning to help others and you've "caught the bug" or you've been at this for a while and you're ready to take it to the next level, you really can do what you love for a living.
But just how do you do that? Do I have to go back to school for 3-5 years and take out thousands in student loans to become a licensed counselor? Or do I spend less time but maybe just as much money learning to become a mental health coach? Isn't there a better way to help people without wasting time, going broke, or burning out?
YES! Now you can take your hard-earned wisdom and knowledge and parlay it into becoming a Certified Professional Mentor.
From Marketing Novice to Business Expert
You may have an advanced degree in counseling, psychology, or marriage and family therapy. Maybe you had your degree before your recovery or decided to go back to school once you'd grappled with and overcome the guilt and shame of addiction.
Maybe you're a counselor contacted by people outside your state, and your state's licensure laws prohibit you from helping those dealing with sexual addiction or betrayal trauma.
Maybe instead of a counseling degree, you opted to become a coach or ministry leader but could really use some help growing your practice.
You discovered the task of finding clients who desperately need what you offer turned out to be a more difficult challenge than you expected.
Does this sounds like you…
- You want to live a work-from-home lifestyle that fits your schedule, but meeting with clients in person keeps you tied down to an office.
- You're tired of the licensure requirements that prevent you from helping clients who don't live within particular geographic boundaries.
- You want to learn how to attract coaching clients who could benefit from your specialized recovery experience.
Now you can learn and apply mentoring ministry best practices to help you grow your practice, all with the support and encouragement of like-minded professionals.
Can you imagine...
- Being able to help people regardless of where they live? And being able to live wherever you want to as you work from home?
- Being part of a select group of respected Professional Mentors standing in the gap to help sex addicts and betrayed partners heal?
- Being able to get the training you need to launch your mentoring ministry as a Certified Professional Mentor™ in just 90 days or less?
- As a part-time mentor, earning $5,000/month by mentoring just 10 hours/week and working with 10 clients? (Actual results may vary - see disclaimer below)
- As a full-time mentor, earning $120,000/year by mentoring just 20 hours/week and working with 20 clients? (Actual results may vary - see disclaimer below)
Due in part to the recent pandemic, more people than ever are suffering from addiction and trauma and looking for help and hope. You can be a part of their solution.
People desperately need the help of a trusted guide to lead them to freedom from addiction and trauma.

"Why I Wanted to Be a Mentor"
Here's what some of our students had to say when we asked them why they wanted to become a mentor. Any of these sound familiar?
Craig
RN, Medical Practice Manager
"I can't think of a better way to finish out my life than being a part of watching God break the chains of obsession and addiction around a man's life to see him blossom into the man of God that he was always intended to be."
David
Self-employed
"I wanted to be on the solution side of sexual brokenness in the world after contributing to the problem side for so long. Also, I don't want my story and experience to go to waste. The need is so great, and we need more people willing to help!"
Mary
Homemaker
"I wanted to walk alongside women whose spouses in ministry leadership have betrayed them."
KP
Retired Teacher
"My heart broke for men trapped in addiction. I could not say no to being the coach, guide, and encourager."
Janet
Missionary
"I wanted to walk alongside other betrayed partners through their journey to their heroic and complete healing."
Gary
Construction Worker
"I wanted to help other believers struggling with a sexual addiction like I used to. Also, to do this as a career and ministry full-time."
Lynn
Sales Professional
"I wanted to help other men walk in the freedom God has led me into. I think of the example of Peter when he said he would never deny Christ. But Jesus told him, "once you have fallen, get up and help your brothers."
Marlin
Administrator
"I know how destructive porn and sex addiction has been in my life. I want to help others get free and maintain their freedom, not just from this area of their lives but true freedom in Christ!"
Stephanie
Homeschool/SAHM
"I want to be the help that I was seeking while in the midst of the betrayal trauma. Plus I want to fulfill the call God's placed on my life.?
Kenny
Finance Manager
"I was compelled to share the healing I had received with others who were struggling with sexual integrity issues."
Are you ready to become a Certified Professional Mentor™
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED!
If you've overcome a major life issue, you're uniquely qualified to use your learned experiences and hard-earned wisdom to help others facing similar challenges.
Because you've been there, your wisdom is valued by those serious enough about their recovery to invest in it. During our 5-Year Pilot, this is how much income Michael generated in his first 3 years as a part-time mentor guiding men to freedom from sexual addiction.
1 Year - 2-10 Hrs/Wk = $24,075/yr.
2 Year - 1-14 Hrs/Wk = $71,769
3 Year - 14-22 Hrs/Wk = $133,334
*This is for educational purposes only and signifies what is possible based on Michael's personal experience. This in no way guarantees your results will be the same.
HAVE WE MET?
We're Michael & Christine Leahy.
Did you know that for those taking a traditional approach to sexual addiction recovery – like therapy, 12-Step groups, or accountability partners – only 2-3% achieve long-term sobriety, and 70-80% drop out within the first 3-6 months! That’s horrible!
So in 2011, I began a 5-Year Proof of Concept involving 100 sexually addicted men to test the effectiveness of my new mentoring-centric approach to recovery. I also wanted to see if these skills were transferrable and if you could make a living as a mentor.
The results were amazing! Over 50% achieved long-term sobriety, our dropout rate was less than 15%, and I learned clients were happy to pay me well for those kinds of results. So in 2016, Launch Your Mentoring Ministry™ debuted as our signature mentor training course.
Today, 7 years and hundreds of students later, the demand for both men and women to serve as professional mentors keeps growing thanks in part to the global mental health crisis. Our secret formula starts with YOU – your first-hand experience and desire to help others.
So if you feel called to use your learned experiences and hard-earned wisdom to help others in need, and you don’t mind earning some income in the process, you’ve come to the right place. We need all the hero-makers we can get, and hope you’ll join us!
In it with you,
Michael & Christine
Are you a perfect fit?
- You overcame a major life issue and want to help others do the same.
- You've been volunteering to lead a recovery group but you want to make helping others a full-time or part-time paid career.
- You want to take what you learned from recovery and help others find freedom.
If any of these sounds like you, keep reading because you’re exactly where you need to be.
