  • Great Host!

    Really enjoyed chatting with Kym about celiac disease on her podcast. Kym’s compassion and genuine care for the community truly shine through in every conversation. Her approach is thoughtful, and she provides great insight into living with celiac disease while also navigating life as a traveling therapist. It’s refreshing to hear someone blend personal experiences with professional expertise in such a relatable way. Highly recommend giving her podcast a listen!

  • The topics are interesting but…

    I really wanted to like this podcast, as a traveling therapist myself.

    But the sound quality is terrible. The titles and summaries are clearly AI generated. The episodes are not well prepped and the host mostly just says « wow » to everything the guests say.

    The host boasts in the intro about her 6 figure income, and I keep hoping she will use some of that income to get a proper microphone and recording set up.

    All in all I don’t think the host is thinking a lot about the listener’s experience... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

221. The Reality of Traveling While Getting Licensure Hours with Willow Renée
Q: How did you go from being a typical therapist to a traveling therapist?
Willow explains that her path started with Hakomi training and a desire to travel, moving through multiple supervision arrangements and ultimately seeking remote, online modalities while navigating state-specific rules and licensing requirements.
223. What a Late Autism Diagnosis Taught Her About Therapy with Marina Livis
Q: What is your holistic approach to therapy and wellness, and how does travel fit in?
I blend psychotherapy with nutrition coaching, yoga, and hypnotherapy, creating a five-in-one practice that can travel with me. This integrative model supports clients more comprehensively and aligns with my lifestyle as a digital nomad.
223. What a Late Autism Diagnosis Taught Her About Therapy with Marina Livis
Q: What challenges did you face with insurance platforms, and how did you adapt?
I faced volatile policies and reduced reimbursement rates from major insurers, which pushed me to minimize reliance on platforms, pursue independent credentialing, and develop out-of-network or cash-pay strategies to maintain revenue and mobility.
223. What a Late Autism Diagnosis Taught Her About Therapy with Marina Livis
Q: How did your late autism diagnosis change your perspective on your career and licensing path?
It reframed my understanding of my limitations and strengths, turning what felt like barriers into a mission to advocate for neurodivergent clinicians and clients, and it pushed me toward independent credentialing and practical, private-pay options to keep practicing while traveling.
219. Work Exchange Travel with Kids as a Remote Therapist with Shannel Busuioc
Q: What does the work exchange look like in practice for a family?
We did 20 hours per week per adult in exchange for food and housing; the kids' activities are integrated into the experience, and the arrangement is chosen for its potential to teach teamwork, responsibility, and adaptability.
