Nomadic Psychologist: How to Travel and Continue Growing Professionally | Ep. 112: Javiera Machuca
This is: Congratulations! You Became Independent Podcast
Javiera Machuca is a Clinical Psychologist with a Master's degree in Psychology and Mental Health Intervention, and she sees adult patients.
But Javiera is also a nomad. She's currently in Chile, but she lived in Australia for quite some time.
When she was in Chile and looking for work but couldn't find a job in her field of study, this motivated her to make a change in her life.
In Australia, she shifted her mindset. She's also worked in other areas, which has allowed her to have unique experiences and memorable learning opportunities.
Javiera stepped off autopilot, slowing down the constant pressure to control her career.
Today she'll be with us to tell us what it's like to be a nomadic psychologist, her experiences, what she's learned, and how she travels the world while working in what she loves.
