The Traveling Therapist Podcast
Hi, I'm Kym Tolson, and I'm the traveling therapist. It's my passion to teach therapists how to navigate online private practices and multiple income streams so they can travel the world. I'm a digital nomad. With a virtual insurance based private therapy practice and a multi six figure coaching business. I'm obsessed with entrepreneurship and developing tools that can help therapists live an adventurous lifestyle. In this podcast, I will discuss my journey as a digital nomad. I'll chat with other traveling therapists and help you navigate the complexities of running an online insurance based practice. I'm so glad to have you with me on this journey.

221. The Reality of Traveling While Getting Licensure Hours with Willow Renée
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're pre-licensed, you've probably been told that traveling while getting licensure hours is something you can't do. Stay put, finish your hours, then go live the life you actually want. Willow Renée decided she wasn't willing to do it that way.
In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Willow to talk about what it really takes to keep traveling while getting licensure hours before you're fully licensed. She's hit some real roadblocks along the way, and she's refreshingly honest about all of it. If you've ever felt like you have to wait for permission to start building the life you want, Willow's story is a good reminder that you don't.
In This Episode, We Explore…
- How falling in love with the Hakomi method in Mallorca set this whole path in motion.
- Why a verbal agreement with no contract left her scrambling to find a new supervisor.
- The two pathways she found for collecting licensure hours while living outside California.
- The Facebook group message that turned a rough travel day completely around.
- Her honest take on what she does to fund her travels and trainings right now.
