About the Episode
Oh my goodness, I am so stinking excited. In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, we’re here to talk to my real-life therapist: Andi Johnson! She’s a licensed marriage & family therapist and certified coach who works mostly with high-functioning, ambitious women that feel like they just want to live DEEPER and go FURTHER.
We’re going to reimagine what therapy can and ought to look like for you and for everybody.
Before we get started, I want you to know (if you don’t already) that I, Ash, am a therapist by trade, I’ve had many therapists, and I’m so so giddy and happy to admit that Andi is by far the best therapist I’ve ever worked with, which is also why I had to have her on the show.
Get ready to reimagine therapy and understand the duality of being an ambitious woman.
I’m so glad you’re here.
