Clear Path Ottawa
Most mental health podcasts speak at you - offering clinical frameworks from a distance. This show speaks from experience. Katrin Aslani is a registered psychotherapist who spent 16 years inside the corporate pressure cooker before becoming the person who helps others survive it. She doesn’t just understand burnout, ADHD, and chronic stress academically - she navigated them personally, then trained to treat them professionally. Using integrative, somatic, and mind-body approaches, this podcast bridges the gap between what therapy teaches and what real working life demands - practical nervous system tools for Ottawa residents and professionals who are tired of being told to “just breath”
