Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode: Trauma informed yoga, other career paths and being an older applicant - with Fiona Jenkins

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

Sometimes people decide that psychology isn’t for them, at least for then, and they go and do something different. This was certainly the case for Fiona Jenkins who took many years away finding and doing new things. She then picked up a copy of the clinical psychologist collective and began to wonder whether maybe, just maybe it wasn’t too late to come back to psychology. This episode is her story and covers all sorts of brilliant things including trauma informed yoga, parenting, boundaries and being an older applicant. I hope you find it so useful.

I’d of course love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
