    Scorpio Queen?

    In this week’s episode, we sat down with our dear friend and fellow therapist, Norma, for a deep dive that was equal parts profound and hilarious. We celebrated the unique, unfiltered flair Norma brings to her practice, from her radical authenticity to her uncanny ability to ditch the clinical script. The highlight was officially crowning Norma the "Scorpio Queen" a title she wears with fierce pride, much to the confusion of Olivia, who still can't quite grasp how astrology fits into life. Andrea spent the hour laughing along in the peanut gallery. Between the heavy lifting of discussing burnout, we found ourselves in fits of giggles over shared therapist fails and the absurdities of private practice. Norma proves there isn’t a one-size-fits-all mold for being a healer, reminding us that we can hold the weight of the world without losing our sense of humor. Comment and subscribe for more.
