In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with psychologist Dr Thea Gallagher.
Thea shares her journey into psychology, driven by personal experiences with her sister's illness. She discusses her career in mental health, focusing on anxiety and wellness, while balancing family life with four young children (including twins!). She opens up about her struggles with ADHD and the daily challenges of feeling inadequate. She also offers insights into coping strategies, self-acceptance, and the importance of recognising one's strengths amidst chaos.
Thea shares her journey of redefining maternal roles, navigating her career in psychology, and the importance of authenticity in her work. She discusses the challenges of the Peter Principle, where individuals rise to their level of incompetence, and emphasises the need for self-reflection in career satisfaction.
