27. More Than a Profession: Brenda’s Love for Psychology

Brenda and her colleague and friend, Kinsey Rone, LCPC, continue their conversation from last week, digging deeper into what drives Brenda’s work and the heart behind it. This isn’t just about therapy—it’s about the love for psychology that inspired the podcast and the curiosity that keeps her learning. So much of this work is about staying open. Open to learning. Open to new perspectives. Open to the reality that no one gets it right all the time. That same openness is what fuels Brenda’s curiosity about human behavior and makes her so dedicated to this field. A question that comes up is, what breaks your heart? For Brenda, it’s seeing the weight people carry and how their past experiences have shaped them. Everyone develops ways to protect themselves, and those patterns can be hard to break. But when someone begins to trust the process, even just a little, it’s a powerful thing to witness. This conversation offers more than just insight into therapy—it’s a chance to understand Brenda on a deeper level. To see what moves her, why she does this work, and how psychology isn’t just a profession for her, but something in which she deeply believes and to which she is deeply committed.
