Rebel Clinicians Podcast
The Rebel Clinicians Podcast is your home for daring conversations and innovative insights designed to transform the world of mental health and holistic healing. Hosted by seasoned therapists and healers who refuse to be confined by the traditional therapy model, each episode explores the intersection of spirituality, ancient wisdom, and modern therapy. Whether you’re a therapist, social worker, energy healer, or simply someone seeking deeper healing and personal growth, we’re here to inspire, challenge, and guide you on your path.
In each episode, we dive into powerful topics like integrating psychedelics and indigenous wisdom, breaking free from the constraints of “the couch,” financial freedom, and building an authentic practice that reflects your unique magic. We’ll share stories of clinicians who are thriving by being true to themselves, and we’ll reveal practical tools for expanding your practice beyond boundaries while nurturing your soul. From financial strategies and marketing tips to shamanic practices and spiritual journeys, this podcast brings together everything you need to become an empowered and revolutionary healer.
Join us in our mission to disrupt the field, heal deeply, and redefine what it means to be a clinician—one episode at a time. Welcome to the tribe.

This week, Alex and John wade into the world of water beings—fish, salmon, octopus, dolphin, and otter—to explore how “the swimmers” carry medicine for emotional depth, intuition, transformation, and joyful connection.
From Matsyasana (Fish Pose) as a heart-and-throat opener to salmon’s ancestral memory and upstream persistence, octopus-inspired resilience and regeneration, dolphin’s breath-and-sound healing, and otter’s inner-child play and community bonds—discover practical ways clinicians can weave these symbols into therapy, yoga, and somatic work.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, rebuilding purpose, or inviting more play into sessions, this conversation offers grounded tools and rich metaphors for healing.
