“I know how to help everyone else figure themselves out. Why is my own career so bloody hard to figure out?”

Because knowing how to help other people doesn’t automatically mean you know what you want.

You can sit with someone else’s uncertainty all day.

You can help them explore their values, challenge their thinking, notice their patterns and work out what matters.

Then you close the therapy room door…

…and suddenly you’re questioning everything.

Do I actually want more clients?
Do I want to teach?
Could I speak?
Could I write?
Do I want to build something?

What if I’m good at therapy but don’t want my whole career to be therapy?

And then comes the guilt.

Because you’re grateful for your profession.

You worked bloody hard to get here.

You are good at what you do.

But that doesn’t mean you have to keep doing the same thing forever.

Sometimes the hardest part of going beyond the therapy room isn’t finding the opportunities.

It’s giving yourself permission to imagine a career that looks different.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to get curious about what’s next.

That’s where the conversation starts.

You can be a highly trained therapist and still feel terrified when you step outside the therapy room.

You can know all the theory.

You can teach boundaries.

You can talk about sitting with discomfort.

You can help clients build self-trust.

You can remind them they don’t need certainty before they take action.

And then…

you decide you want to write a book.
Start a podcast.
Run a group.
Speak.
Teach.
Consult.
Build something that isn’t 1:1 therapy.

And suddenly you’re looking for certainty.

“What if I get it wrong?”
“What if people judge me?”
“Am I qualified?”
“Is this ethical?”
“Maybe I need another course first.”

Same nervous system.
Same protective patterns.
Same discomfort.

The very things you teach your clients about navigating change?

You need them too.

Not because you’re failing.

Because doing something new requires you to tolerate not knowing.

To set boundaries around the old way of doing things.

To give yourself permission to be a beginner again.

And to build trust in yourself through action — not by waiting until you feel completely ready.

Maybe the work beyond the therapy room isn’t about learning *more*.

Maybe it’s about finally applying what you already know…

to yourself.

That’s the part nobody really prepares you for.

What if you’re already creating more impact than you realise?

When we think about “making an impact,” it’s easy to imagine something big.

A bigger audience.
A bigger platform.
A bigger business.

But what if impact can be much simpler?

In this episode, Sky and Ally explore how our natural way of being can influence the people around us—and how the energy, presence and authenticity we bring into a room can give others permission to be themselves too.

Sometimes your impact isn't in what you do.

Sometimes it's simply who you're being.

And one of the most powerful questions you can ask is:

What do people naturally come to you for?

There’s a quiet assumption in psychology that once you qualify, your path is pretty much decided.
See clients.
Get more experience.
Do more training.
See more clients.

And if you start thinking about something different…

You can wonder if you’re somehow stepping away from what you trained for.

But your psychology training gave you something far bigger than a job title.

It taught you how to understand people.
How to think critically.
How to communicate.
How to sit with complexity.
How to teach.
How to see patterns.
How to create change.

Those skills don’t belong exclusively inside a therapy room.

They can take you into:
Teaching.
Consulting.
Speaking.
Writing.
Leadership.
Workshops.
Podcasting.
Research.
Organisational work.
Creating something entirely your own.

And you don’t have to stop being a psychologist to explore any of it.

You can love clinical work and want more.
You can be proud of your training and build something beyond it.

You can have a psychology career that doesn’t look like the one you were originally told it should.

Because your degree gave you a profession.
It didn’t give you a ceiling.

31/08/2026

You have an idea, but instead of launching it, you research it for three months.

You create an offer, then immediately wonder if anyone will pay for it.

Someone asks you to speak, and your first thought is, “But why would they want me?”

You want to teach, consult, write, speak or create something beyond therapy…
but you keep telling yourself you need another qualification first.

You’re not necessarily lacking confidence.
You’re not necessarily lacking strategy.
You might still be operating from the identity that made you a good psychologist — rather than the identity you need for what comes next.

And that’s a very different problem.

I wrote a book. 📖

And honestly, this feels like a pretty big deal.

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember.

But I’ve also spent a ridiculous amount of time telling myself I’m not quite good enough to actually be an author.

It needed to be better.
I needed to know more.
I needed to be more established.
I needed the perfect title, the perfect plan, the perfect moment.

Basically… I needed permission.

And then I realised something.

I don’t need to feel ready to let myself be seen.

So I’m giving myself permission to launch this before it feels perfect.

The book is for anyone who has ever wondered:

What’s wrong with me?
Why do I keep getting in my own way?
Why can’t I just be more confident?
Why am I so bloody hard on myself?

It’s about understanding the parts of ourselves we’ve spent years trying to fix.

Because maybe you’re not broken.

Maybe you’re just carrying identities, beliefs and protective patterns that once made sense — but don’t need to run your life anymore.

I’ve written the book I wish I’d had years ago.

And for the first time, I’m not waiting until it’s perfect.

I wrote a book.

There. I said it. ❤️

So many of us are waiting.

Waiting until the kids are older.
Waiting until we feel more confident.
Waiting until we have the perfect plan.
Waiting until the therapy room feels less full.

But what if the thing you’re waiting for… is **permission?**

Permission to use your skills in a bigger way.
Permission to create a career that actually fits the life you want.
Permission to build beyond what you were told was “enough”.

You don’t have to leave psychology to have more.

You just have to give yourself permission to build what’s next. 💗

Seven years ago, we had an idea.

And instead of talking ourselves out of it, we said yes.

We created Rise Up for Women — a retreat that, at the time, felt like a pretty big leap outside what we were used to doing as psychologists.

Looking back at these photos now, what strikes me most isn’t the retreat itself.

It’s how much permission we gave ourselves.
Permission to experiment.
To create something that didn’t have a neat clinical structure.
To bring psychology, connection, movement, laughter, vulnerability and a whole lot of humanity into the same space.

We didn’t have the whole career mapped out.
We weren’t following some perfectly executed five-year plan.
We just had a sense that there had to be more ways to use what we knew.
And there were.

That little “yes” became part of a much bigger journey for both of us.

It reminded us that being a psychologist doesn’t mean there is only one way to build a career.

Sometimes you have to step outside the familiar to discover what else you’re capable of creating.

And maybe that’s the question worth asking:
What would you say yes to if you stopped assuming your psychology career had to look a certain way?

Seven years on, we’re still asking ourselves that question.

And we’re still saying yes to what’s beyond the therapy room.

The therapy room is where your impact began — not where it has to end.

You can love being a psychologist
and still want to do something different.

Teach.
Speak.
Write.
Consult.
Lead.
Create something of your own.

Your clinical skills don’t disappear when you step outside the therapy room.

They come with you.

And maybe the next chapter of your career isn’t about leaving psychology behind.

Maybe it’s about expanding what psychology can look like for you.

Beyond the therapy room.
Beyond the role you were taught to fit into.
Beyond the idea that being a good psychologist means staying in the same lane forever.

There is more than one way to make an impact.
