This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are joined by one of The Therapy Group's wonderful clinicians, Lydia (Tola) Lawson, MFT! Lydia shares her career journey (hint: she's on career number three) and how this journey led her to work primarily with clients who are at a crossroad in their career. They discuss Lydia's work in helping clients identify their value and purpose, what it was like for Lydia to leave the "celebrated" career and take a risk, and answer your questions about hustle culture, career changes, burnout, boundaries at work, and toxic work environments. Lydia touches on the fear of failure and change and we get to hear what she's calling BS on. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
