What happens when you build a career exactly the way you were trained to… and later realize it no longer fits?

In this episode of the WTF Podcast, Molly sits down with Carah Elizabeth, a clinically trained psychotherapist who spent over 20 years building a thriving private practice—only to reach the quiet realization that she no longer wanted to operate within the constraints of her profession.

This conversation explores what it looks like to outgrow a career you worked hard to build, the fear-based conditioning baked into many professional paths, and the emotional cost of choosing expansion over familiarity. Carah shares her decision to release her license, move beyond traditional therapy models, and embrace a more holistic approach to healing that integrates the body, energy, and lived experience.

If you’ve ever felt the pull toward something more expansive—without needing to make your past wrong—this episode offers deep resonance and permission.
