Standout Quotes from Shayla:
"We're gifted this intense job that we have and so we have to do our work to make sure that we show up; that's eating right, exercising, going to therapy, all of those different things that's really important." (09:37)

"I keep it real and that the tools are practical. I heard that pretty often even when I do speaking engagements. The information that I share— it's gonna be practical. I'm not going to give you a whole bunch of therapy mumble jumble, that's for me in my clinical notes." (17:21)


 
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
I think that's very important for uprising new therapists to understand that your life experience could actually make you a better therapist if you handle your biz behind closed doors." (08:38)

"The consultation piece is very very vital to you being able to show up as your best self as a therapist. You can't do that if you have somebody sitting across from you via Telehealth or an office if they don't even feel like you can solve their problem or you know you can't solve their problem." (12:29)
