Pod Episode 9: Motherhood, Rest & Redefining Success with Therapist Allyssa Powers
I hang with therapist and business coach Allyssa Powers and we talk about shifting priorities, changing capacity, and giving yourself permission to be in a survival-season without turning it into another thing to feel bad about.
Allyssa shares about how her faith has changed, how it impacted her clinical work and her experiences being in the client chair. She created a business to support therapists in creating and growing their private practices. You can even earn CE’s through her programs, score!
We talk about rest as a muscle, tiny ways to recharge, and why bedtime doesn’t have to mean finally getting around to the dishes. The episode is a warm reminder that success can look different in different seasons and that we don’t have to earn rest. Allyssa is a model to me in taking herself seriously; her business, feelings, children and her needs. And we need all the models we can get in that as women!
She shared her go to’s for helping her with overstimulation are:
Go outside
AirPods to listen to an audiobook or podcast
Leaving the room when she needs a break
Her favorite ways to rest:
Reading, gotta love our kindles!
Daily gratitude, she’s been doing it for years, looks forward to it and can see how it’s helped her notice more of the good; how cool!
