Choosing to Consider Goodness First with Kellie Sweeney

In this very special bonus episode, I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Kellie Sweeney. Kellie is mom to two, a dedicated wife, a loving daughter, a recent Graduate Coach ... Oh, and a licensed mental health clinician doing profound, heart-centered work as a therapist inside the prison system. Kellie shares her personal journey that led her to work with vulnerable populations, emphasizing the importance of compassion and understanding in mental health. We discuss the challenges faced by individuals reintegrating into society after incarceration and the need for greater resources and support. Kellie also highlights the differences between therapy and coaching, advocating for a more empathetic approach to those who have made mistakes. Our conversation concludes with encouragement for authenticity and the importance of seeing the goodness in everyone! Also, Season 3 is officially on the horizon!
