Not Your Average Music Therapist

Happy New Year! This conversation was from an event held at Nazareth College back in February 2022. Here, Kim is speaking with the Women in the Industry club about Networking (Compassion), Branding (Authenticity), Job Opportunities (Love), and Future (Change). The conversation concludes with a Q&A. Enjoy!

How can we respect ourselves, our time, and our energy so that others also respect these? Here’s a conversation around burnout and the unrealistic expectations we may have. What would a sustainable job look like?

Greg Best, musician, producer, and husband to Kim, joins us on the podcast for our second conversation about energy. He shares his thoughts, processes, and experience with us around this topic. Greg and Kim talk about their differences and how energy brings together dark and light. Please enjoy this conversation!

In this episode, I talk about what it means for "acceptance" to be more than giving up. I create a loose model for professional growth and talk about my Word of the Year.
