In this episode, Miranda Palmer interviews Shay (they/them), a San Diego-based anxiety and trauma therapist specializing in somatic therapy. Shay’s journey to private practice took them from working as a nanny and in the airline industry to finally becoming licensed at age 50—a testament to perseverance and dedication.

Tune in to hear Shay discuss transitioning from nonprofits to private practice, the impact of deep personal healing on their business, and the ups and downs of navigating insurance and building a supportive community. Shay’s honest story is a reminder that it’s never too late to create the practice—and life—you truly want.
