Becoming a Therapist: My Five-Year Career Pivot


Listen Later

In this episode, my wife interviews me about the five-year journey that led me—from being a full-time pharmacist—to becoming a Marriage & Family Therapist. From 2019 to 2025, I walked through unexpected setbacks, emotional burnout, powerful breakthroughs, and the surprising moments that confirmed my calling to mental health work.


This honest conversation explores:

  • Why I chose to return to school in my 30s
  • The challenges of balancing work, marriage, and graduate school
  • The doubts, detours, and unexpected blessings along the way
  • What it really takes to start over professionally
  • How purpose, faith, and perseverance carried me through


If you’re considering a career change, feeling burned out, or wondering whether it’s too late to pivot—this episode will speak to you. Listen in as we unpack the story behind my career transformation and the lessons I learned about courage, calling, and becoming who you’re meant to be.
