9: Beyond the To-Do List: Goal Setting for Therapists Who Want to Thrive

As a therapist, you’re great at helping clients set goals—but what about your own? We want you to thrive and to feel fulfilled in your life and career. In this episode, we’re taking on compassionate goal setting—one that prioritizes sustainability, self-care, and meaningful progress over hustle and perfection. We talk through science-backed strategies that are more likely to get you the results you are hoping for and encourage you to take actionable steps toward your values-driven goals.
