In this episode, Jayme sits down with Emily, a clinical psychologist who has evolved her work from supporting adolescents and young adults with eating disorders to helping women in midlife and parents navigating body changes, identity shifts, and family dynamics.

Emily shares her personal and professional journey, from working in residential treatment programs to building a private practice that reflects her own growth as a woman, parent, and practitioner. Together, Jayme and Emily explore what it means to listen to your inner voice as your work evolves, and how honoring that voice often leads to greater impact and alignment.

This conversation is especially powerful for helpers, therapists, and service-based business owners who feel the tension between wanting to help others and needing to sustain themselves financially, energetically, and creatively.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Transitioning your career as you enter midlife and experience body and identity changes
  • Supporting women through midlife health, body image, and emotional shifts
  • Empowering parents and improving relationships with teenagers
  • Understanding adolescent development and breaking harmful societal narratives about teens
  • The challenges psychologists and therapists face with marketing and self-promotion
  • Navigating social media as a mental health professional without losing authenticity
  • Why in-person connections and trust-building still matter in online business
  • Choosing marketing strategies that align with your nervous system and energy
  • Building a supportive business network and learning to delegate
  • Using newsletters and owned platforms to create deeper client relationships
  • Balancing work, family, personal growth, and entrepreneurship

Emily also speaks candidly about the pressure many therapists feel to “do marketing right,” the overwhelm of constant content creation, and the importance of choosing marketing methods that feel sustainable and aligned rather than performative.

Jayme adds insight from her work in digital business education, emphasizing discipline, confidence, repetition, and the power of multiple touchpoints in building client trust, especially in sensitive, service-based industries such as psychology and wellness.

This episode is for:

  • Therapists, psychologists, and wellness professionals
  • Women navigating midlife transitions
  • Parents seeking a deeper connection with their teenagers
  • Entrepreneurs building heart-centered, service-driven businesses
  • Anyone feeling the call to evolve their work while staying true to themselves


If you’re in a season of evolution, personally or professionally, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and grounded next steps.
