  • What is your career path and how did you get to where you are today?

 

Guest Bio:

After unsuccessfully trying to outrun the stress of life, Christy finally looked for a therapist in hopes of catching her breath. What started as “3-5 sessions” turned into years of deep, inner work – work she didn't even know she needed. And it freed her! She learned how to be okay with things like conflict, curveballs, and growth – just to name a few. Her own experience turned into a personal mission to help other people feel better, stronger, and more alive. There’s no reason why talking to a trained professional shouldn’t be as acceptable as going to the dentist, the hair salon, or seeking out a personal trainer. She started Okay Humans to normalize seeking support, to rethink the outdated therapy model, and to open up the conversation about getting to okay.
