Brandie Paterakis: Therapist’s perspective on overcoming self-doubt, navigating life transitions, and mindsets for the New Year

Brandie's knowledge of mental health, wisdom on her own life transitions, and advice on adding humor into our lives is a great way to start the New Year! Both of us have seen Brandie for therapy and love her and her perspectives.    Today Brandie shares her story of overcoming self-doubt to tackle eight years of school leading to her dream of becoming a therapist. She shares mental health perspectives including pillars of self-esteem, navigating life shifts, difficult conversations, and the concept of radical acceptance. As our first episode of 2023 we also discuss how to watch for traps we fall into with goals and helpful mental health tips for the New Year.   Brandie is fun and wise and has a great sense of humor! We loved our conversation with her and feel this is the perfect episode to start off the New Year.   Thanks so much to Brandie for taking the time for us.
