Summary:

Ever wondered what it's like to pivot from a mundane job to a fulfilling career that impacts lives? Join us as we engage with Rene Garcia, a second-generation immigrant from Houston who did just that, bravely transitioning to a career in psychotherapy. From overcoming identity struggles to navigating through college and parenthood, Rene's inspiring story is a testament to the power of resilience and passion.

Rene's journey didn't stop there. He took a giant leap when he decided to focus his practice on adult men, a demographic often overlooked when it comes to mental health, due to societal stigmas. As a psychotherapist, Rene recognized the increased demand for mental health services during the pandemic and provided a safe haven for men to express their feelings without fear or judgment. We also delve into his journey of self-discovery, how he overcame his ego, and challenged himself to double his salary in five years.

One of the most heartfelt parts of our conversation with Rene centers around the topic of fatherhood. Fatherhood, as Rene elaborates, is not just about being a parent; it's about healing, growth, and bonding. Hear how he started a monthly dad's meeting to foster a supportive community among fathers and how this element in his life transformed him as a person and as a professional. Listen to our conversation with Rene Garcia and open your mind to the possibilities of personal growth and professional fulfillment.
