Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 87: Marianne's Summer Soundbites – 3Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast. Welcome to my new short series – Marianne’s Summer Sound Bites! This series is slightly shorter, but packed full of important, smaller topics, to help you stay on track over the busy summer period. I hope you find this helpful, no matter where you are in your journey in becoming an aspiring psychologist – whatever this may look like for you! This episode focuses on another 2 key steps when thinking about being an aspiring qualified psychologist; the significance of self-care, exercise and nature, as well as celebrating achievements, no matter how small. There is also a little reminder about our free compassionate Q&A sessions, and the Aspiring Psychology membership. I hope you find this helpful. I’d 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!
