In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when your role no longer fits the way it used to.

I sit down with Erin to explore her journey from a traditional school psychology role into mentorship, private practice, and university teaching, and how she found new ways to use her skills without leaving the field entirely.

What I love about this conversation is how practical it is. We talk about career pivots, side hustles, and how to figure out what actually lights you up, instead of just sticking with what feels safe. If you’ve been wondering what else is possible in this field, this one will open your thinking.

Highlights:

(01:02) - The moment Erin realised her traditional role was no longer fulfilling
