77.🎙️Summer Guest Series: Healing in the Helping Role (with Dr. Ashley Rodriguez)

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ashley Rodriguez—licensed psychologist, perinatal mental health specialist, and founder of PathBreak Coaching and Consulting. Ashley brings deep wisdom and lived experience to the conversation around parenting, healing, and showing up for others without abandoning yourself in the process.

We explore:

• Why helping professionals often carry invisible worthiness wounds

• The intersection of personal healing and professional impact

• The emotional weight of breaking generational patterns as a parent and practitioner

• How burnout, imposter syndrome, and legacy trauma show up—and what to do about it

Ashley offers both compassion and clarity for those who are holding space for others while trying to heal themselves.

🎧 This one is for the cycle-breakers, the helpers, the givers—especially the ones who are tired of holding it all alone.
