#13 Coming Home to Ourselves with Dr Julie Meehan
In some form or another, our profession impacts our day-to-day life, and after all, we are not just what we do. To explore this further, Finola is adding a new dimension to the Your Truth Shared podcast this week with the help of special guest, Dr Julie Meehan.
Julie is a clinical psychologist, strategic interventionist coach, parent guide and proud imperfect mom with over 20 years of experience working with children, parents, and families. In this episode, we hear about Julie’s brave move from a secure job with the Irish Health Service Executive into entrepreneurship, why we should never ignore our inner voice, the imperfect dance of parenthood, and coming home to ourselves. Julie also reveals the statistics of high sensitivity in the population, and the numbers may take you by surprise. Key points throughout this episode include:
