Welcome to Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist. This isn't your typical self-help podcast. This is where seasoned therapist Shawna Lovin, LPC-S tells the truth about burnout, helper life, and building a different kind of practice and career. If you're a therapist, counselor, social worker, or helper who's exhausted by what the system keeps asking of you — and you're ready to build something that actually fits your life and your energy — you're in the right place. Expect real talk about clinical culture, sustainable practice building, Human Design as a capacity tool, and what it looks like to build a different life on purpose. No hustle gospel. No performative wellness. Just honest, grounded conversation from someone who's lived it.
