Bringing a different voice to your people or your inner critic.
— My Story —
What led me to finally call quits, was an experience so many can relate to. I was in a field I cared for—pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology while actively practicing therapy. But after 10 years of it, I kept hitting a wall of burnout.
I was brimming with ideas on creative things to do in my spare time—and knew the good it would do to me—but between me not having the energy to even do them, to colleagues telling me that “you’d have time for it later”...I kept leaving it, until I just quit my job.
I didn’t know what was coming next, but something had to change. And that moment became the beginning of a journey that would take me back full circle to psychology—but with new textures and layers of understanding of our modern, shared experience.
— My Experience —
From 10 years of working towards a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Illinois Tech, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to research and run clinical studies on DEI and eating behaviors in women—before working in university counseling, hospitals, and private practices for therapy and neuropsychology.
Now partnering with institutions and businesses as a speaker and trainer, people frequently come up to me later to say that the talk wasn’t long enough; that it spoke to something they hadn’t heard before. And that’s exactly the goal.
In an age where we’re always told to do more, work harder, we need to learn how to rest. The social script of creativity & joy being “useless” needs to change into embracing it as a force that makes us more self-connected and productive. And to kindle that perspective, I’d love to bring it to you.
