Let’s be real - most therapists were trained to be the calm in the storm.
Stay grounded. Stay humble. Stay in your neatly labeled little lane. 🙃
But what happens when a therapist doesn’t play small? When she starts questioning shady practices, calling out corporate nonsense, and using her voice online to shake things up?
Well, it looks a lot like Candice Thompson.
In this episode, Candice shares how a casual preschool drop-off convo turned into a deep dive into LinkedIn... and how LinkedIn turned into a platform for advocacy, viral posts, and a growing chorus of therapists who are done being quiet.
Candice is a licensed marriage and family therapist in CA & OR. She considers herself a well-rounded generalist, with twenty years of experience in the field of mental health; fifteen practicing psychotherapy.
This episode is your permission slip to take up space. To speak your truth. To remember that you are the expert—and your voice matters.
Whether you're curious about dipping your toe into LinkedIn, dreaming of private practice, or just trying to keep your head on straight in a loud (and sometimes sketchy) industry, this convo is a breath of fresh air.
So grab your coffee (or LaCroix—we don’t judge) and get ready to feel fired up. 💬✨
