Welcome back to another episode of the traveling therapist podcast. Every month I love to share my digital nomad update. The good, the bad and the ugly! Lol.  And as I say, every time, it has been really a lot of ups and a lot of downs and just a lot of fun in between.

 

This month was a total whirlwind for us. We really hadn't even planned on being an Arizona for a whole month. It just sorta worked out that way. So. It's been really amazing. We've seen almost, well, definitely not all, but a lot of Arizona. Phoenix, Sedona, Lake Havasu, Page and some places in between. From hiking and swimming to a real ghost story!

Today, I had a chance to talk to Katrina McGhee who is a Career Break and Sabbatical Coach - a certified life coach with an MBA who helps 9-to-5ers design mind-blowing breaks to create happier, more fulfilling lives. Katrina helps her clients create fail-proof plans to leave their jobs and take successful breaks of their own. They return from their breaks recharged, inspired, happily employed and forever changed. And for today’s episode, she will talk about how to create a life well-lived. Tune in and find out more about her in this episode! 

 

“I think it’s so much easier to think about everything that you have today that you might lose. It’s like our human nature to focus on what we see and like, “I don’t want to give any of this up!” but really have some of it we don’t even like."

 

• Having a successful and amazing career break experience and create more success
• How can we create a life well-lived but that diverts money to the fund to save for this break
• Learn how to disconnect from your income stream

I’m so excited to share this episode with Jillian Lama. Jillian is a Master Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach who travels quite a bit.  She has specialized knowledge in eating well for our body's needs and maintaining a healthy regime even when you are traveling.  Additionally, she is an expert in helping people who have special diets, food allergies and other diary restrictions to navigate while traveling. 

 

“I  help busy people eat healthy without needing willpower or feeling deprived, so that they can lose weight (and easily maintain it) eating the foods they love.

 

The only problem is, you’re at war with food after years of dieting, thinking you're not thin enough, pretty enough or good enough.

 

To make it worse, you haven’t a flaming clue what to eat to lose weight anymore, why you’re binging on chocolate, ice cream and peanut butter, and feel ALL the shame when you don't have the willpower to stick with your 1200 calorie diet.

 

Body You Crave teaches you to break free from diet-jail, so that you have freedom to eat dessert or a piece of bread (gasp!), without stressing over “falling off the wagon” or calculating how far you'll need to run tomorrow to “burn it off.”

 

It’s time to end emotional eating, conquer your cravings, and lose excess weight for Life.

 

When you're ready to eliminate stress, create simple habits that work, and finally wear that dress that's been stuffed in the back of your closet for years...

 

I'll show you how”

In this episode, Jeanene and I discuss changing the narrative on how you spend your vacation time. We’ve had enough of the “shaming” voices and “should be advice” in therapist Facebook groups. We get to decide how and when we want to work when we are traveling! 

 

Jeanene is an LCSW in Virginia Beach, VA, and has been a social worker for over 25 years. She is the founder of Oasis for Therapists and an avid supporter of peer consultation and support. She created Oasis to provide a much-needed space for therapists to get the safe, professional support they need and deserve. I know the struggles solo and online practitioners face and found there were many of us out there looking for connection.

My vision is to help foster a world with more generous, non-judgmental therapists who want to help other therapists grow and be lifted up.

My mission is to support therapists who desire to grow in their work/life balance with confidence and connection so they can care for themselves the way they care for their clients.

 

You can find Jeanene at CollabOasis and on Facebook.

At Haynes and Associates, we are focused on providing high-quality US expatriate and foreign national tax and consulting services at competitive prices. Katrina C.M. Haynes, CPA has over twenty years of experience providing US citizens, US Green Card Holders and foreign nationals with tax consulting and compliance services at some of the largest accounting firms in the world. She is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and is an active member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the National Society of Black Certified Public Accountants (NSBCPA), and the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA).

 

"Haynes and Associates was founded after years of assisting family and friends with the tax issues that other paid preparers had created. None of my friends or family members were financially able to afford the services of global professional accounting firms. That doesn't mean that they did not deserve the quality and level of service that I can provide at a cost that they can afford." - Katrina C.M. Haynes

 

In addition to tax services, we also offer a series of training and consulting services to assist individuals and small business owners with their US expatriate and foreign national tax issues. Overall, our goal is to provide each customer with whatever they need to be successful and give them peace of mind. Our goal is for our clients to relax and let Haynes help!
