Practical Therapeutic Approaches with Nancy Jo Rettig, Part 1

<p>Hi SweetSmarties! I got to interview Nancy Jo Rettig this month! We bonded so well and had so much to discuss, our recorded conversation lasted two hours! I decided to divide our interview into two parts, and here is the first!</p><p>I mention this in my epilogue, but just to write it here as well: She has 40 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage &amp; Family Therapist, and she was a school counselor for 25 years! She also has a degree in Addictions Counseling!</p><p>In this first part, we speak about her background, how we initially connected, our recurring segment about our interpretations of the phrase Progressive Parenting, her match-making company, the Bob Newhart Show, Televised Therapy, and her practical, direct, goal-oriented approach. During the last part of this episode, we discuss my sleep issues, and we end with how I feel about my current phase of life, regarding my biological clock, dating, marriage, and if I would like to have children one day (the answer may surprise you!).</p><p>In the next part, we cover the patterns she noticed during her school counselor career, how they&#39;ve changed over time, potential solutions for our widespread stress and anxiety, and we finish our conversation with her one final piece of advice to us, which you&#39;ll have to listen to the episode to find out! ;)</p><p>I loved talking to her so much, and I hope you&#39;ll enjoy listening to both parts of our interview! :) &lt;3 </p>
