With growing burnout, anxiety, and fatigue due to the nature of our circumstances around us, season three of the podcast is intended for all healthcare heroes. It will look a bit different than past podcast seasons where the focus was hearing stories from child life professionals. Instead of listening to other's voices, I want to give you an opportunity to listen to YOUR voice. These short episodes will guide you through a reflective process to encourage greater peace, motivation, and meaning.

This season finale episode goes behind the curtain of the Association of Child Life Professionals. CEO Jennifer Lipsey and COO Bailey Kasten dispel ACLP myths and get real about the future of the association.
