Embracing Multiple Identities as A Therapist Turned Coach with Daisy Gómez Beyond Private Practice
-
- Entrepreneurship
On today's podcast episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Daisy Gómez, my Aligned Coaching client, a Licensed Latina Therapist, Speaker, and Life Coach. Daisy shares her inspiring journey from therapist to coach, highlighting a pivotal moment that motivated her to open her own private practice. We dove deep into the issue of burnout and why it is so common among first-generation Latina therapists. Daisy opens up about her personal experiences dealing with burnout and how accepting a job offer from another company made her realize it.
But that's not all—we also explore why Latina therapists are hesitant to expand their services into coaching, the power of embracing multiple identities, healing, and breaking free from societal programming. Trust me, this episode is jam-packed with valuable insights that you don't want to miss!
