This week, Dr. Amy Cabrera Rasmussen is joined by Chaundra Prehara, a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified relational life therapist, and an experienced group leader. Prehara's personal story and her expertise each bring so many lessons: for the increasingly large number of people considering a career as a therapist, but also for anyone seeking to do good work that is also good for them. There are some clear pivots in her educational and professional journey, which took her from a film major in undergrad to a range of corporate roles through to her current calling as a therapist. Yet, through it all, there are some common themes, like a focus on storytelling, self-connection, and having an impact when one may lean toward a quieter and more introverted way of being. Prehara also shares some key insights relevant to anyone who may sometimes have a sense of overwhelm or put too much pressure on themselves as they work to improve the world around them. There are also some insights from the relational approach for how to assess one's work environment to determine when a pivot might make sense, as well as how one can stay attuned to their own heart, relationality, and intrinsic worth in the spaces in which they live and work.
