In this very first guest episode, Kristina is joined by therapist, yoga teacher, astrologer, and also her long-time friend, Julie Jacobson for a fascinating discussion on the lesser heard perspectives on how to create a professional life that feels rich and fulfilling while honoring the true self and each of our own most honest needs and desires.

In the episode, Kristina and Julie chat about how they first met, their roots as traditionally trained therapists and how they evolved beyond them, and the many ways that a career that for all intents and purposes was meant to remain traditional can become diverse, rich in connection, and fulfilling on levels that we may not realize we need fufillment on.

The conversation also explores ideas of how to expand professionally without having to reinvent yourself or your career path, being more seen and how to handle the internal backlash it can sometimes cause, and how to lean into the idea of service to others and the world as a means of finding professional satisfaction.
