Ever felt like perfectionism is running your life? In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Bianca Hughes about breaking free from perfectionism and how a bold sabbatical completely shifted her mindset. Bianca opens up about selling her house, buying a one-way ticket to Bali, and reconnecting with herself through deep rest, joy, and unexpected adventures.

This conversation is full of raw honesty, major mindset shifts, and empowering reminders that you don’t have to stay stuck in a life that doesn’t feel aligned. Bianca shares how stepping away helped her get back to her true self, and how you can do the same. Plus, we explore how she's now redefining therapy work to better support new clinicians through the Soulful Clinician Collective.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • What led Bianca to take a three-month sabbatical, and how she prepared.
  • The healing power of slowing down and being present.
  • How travel helped her reconnect with joy and clarity.
  • Her journey of breaking free from perfectionism and comparison.
  • The birth of the Soulful Clinician Collective and her mission to support new therapists.
