Carly Costello is a therapist, EMDR consultant, and social media educator dedicated to supporting therapists in their professional journeys. What started as an unexpected introduction to EMDR training became a career-defining pivot, and now Carly helps other clinicians build confidence, find their footing, and embrace the work they're already doing well.

In this episode, Carly shares the winding road that brought her to EMDR, how personal loss and big life changes shaped her as a clinician, and what she's learned about imposter syndrome — both in herself and in the therapists she consults with. She also gets real about the juggle of running a practice, raising a kid, and showing up consistently online without burning out.

In this episode we cover:

• Carly's journey from art major to EMDR specialist (and the boss who signed her up for training without asking)
• How EMDR helped her own sleep issues — and why that was the proof she needed
• What imposter syndrome actually looks like in EMDR practitioners and how to work with it
• Financial empowerment and self-worth in the therapy profession
• Practical thoughts on outsourcing, flexibility, and protecting your energy
