Listen Later

Balancing homeschooling, traveling, and staying healthy as a therapist might sound like a lot to juggle, but with the right mindset and strategies, it’s absolutely possible. Whether you’re managing a private practice on the road, teaching your kids from anywhere in the world, or trying to make sure you’re eating well and taking care of yourself, finding a rhythm that works can be a challenge.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Atara Parkinson, a therapist who has embraced this lifestyle while running a successful private practice. We dive into her approach to creating structure for her family, maintaining a thriving business, and prioritizing nutrition and self-care—even while constantly on the move. If you’ve been looking for ways to balance it all, this episode is packed with the best tips to help you make it work.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • How Atara transitioned into a location-independent therapy practice while homeschooling.
  • The biggest challenges of homeschooling, traveling, and staying healthy as a therapist—and how to overcome them.
  • How to listen to your body and nourish yourself while constantly on the move.
  • Simple nutrition and self-care strategies that help maintain energy and balance while traveling.
  • How to create flexible yet effective daily routines that support both work and family life.
