Do you ever think that, even though you might love being a therapist, there is another calling out there or a way to take your therapeutic skills and give back to the world?
Do you ever feel stagnant in your career and wish you could rekindle your passion or shift it to something related but better for you?
Have you ever wanted to get away, travel someplace new, have an adventure, and experience the world in a raw and authentic way without having to take time from your busy schedule to make plans or figure out what that kind of experience looks like?
Well, this episode is for you
In this episode, I talk with Jennifer Agee, therapist, strategic business coach, retreat host, founder and owner of Counseling Community, Inc., and host of the "Sh*t You Wish You Learned in Grad School" podcast.
