Intentional Therapist: Putting You In Your Schedule
The Benefits of Working in Alignment with Your Values and Priorities: A Conversation with Lisa Mustard
When’s the last time you sat down to really reflect on your values? In this busy world it’s so easy to go through life without really giving this much thought. Yet, setting some time aside to do just that can help us truly create a life from which we don’t need to escape. In this episode we speak with Lisa Mustard, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (and co-member of the PsychCraft Network), about a pivotal time in her career and how examining her values and priorities set her on a journey to becoming a Coach and podcast host of The Therapy Show. Lisa speaks with us about how these side businesses align with her values and how the concepts of “grace” and “fail forward” have helped her remain compassionate towards herself and stay motivated even in the face of disappointment.
Highlights:
- The “wake-up” call that triggered Lisa’s revised self-care journey
- Lisa’s top values and how these shape her work
- The importance of adopting “grace” and a “fail forward” attitude to move through challenges
- How the concept of “courage” showed up in Lisa’s journey
- How creativity shows up for Lisa
- One step female clinicians can take today to start developing a work life that aligns with their values
- Lisa’s best non-conventional self-care practice
