I recently chatted with @amandabmusictherapy, and I wish we could have met up in real life on the beach near where she lives and done some shelling together. I imagine smiles and laughter, warmth and a cool breeze, sunshine and the best conversations. If that’s something you’d like to have with a music therapy buddy, I invite you to listen to this recent episode! Here are some points we covered: 3rd spaces, education in child life, college through COVID, after college realities, burnout, self care, adulting, sustainability in music therapy, resilience and changes, identity crisis, finding balance, fulfilling passions and needs in other ways, peace and making it work for you, REST, systems, gray areas in music therapy, community, social media marketing, and guitar tips. Phew! It was quite the loaded episode and we probably could have gone into even more! Enjoy this episode and its sweet reminders about staying afloat through the waves of life and work.
