In this episode, we sit down with Lianna, a former Division 2 soccer player who opens up about the moment her team was cut without notice and how that setback changed the direction of her life.

Being forced to reapply to school and losing her scholarship pushed her into a period of reevaluating who she was and what she wanted to do.

She shares how that experience led her from exercise science into psychology, going through her own therapy journey, and realizing there was a serious lack of mental health support for athletes.

Through that realization, she found her passion in helping and leading others, which she describes as being bigger than anything she could have imagined.

The conversation dives into her work in clinical counseling, the creation of TBAC Group, and why mental health matters just as much in small businesses as it does in large organizations.

She explains the importance of leadership, culture, and why “therapists need therapists,” especially for those who spend their lives helping others.

This episode is a powerful reminder that if you don’t turn a struggle into some kind of positive outcome, then what are we doing?
