Скачать или смотреть The Inner Spark: Dr. Kirsten Guest on Reclaiming Joy, Boundaries & the Whole Self

In this episode of Spark Sessions with Sonya Locke, Sonya sits down with Dr. Kirsten Guest, a clinical holistic psychotherapist, resilience advocate, author, and founder of a boutique wellness practice devoted to helping high-achieving women reconnect with joy, boundaries, and their whole selves.

After spending 23 years as a stay-at-home mother, Kirsten answered a quiet but undeniable call to begin her third act. She returned to graduate school, launched a private practice in New York City, and began blending traditional psychotherapy with integrative modalities including EMDR, mindfulness, yoga, Reiki, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Drawing from her own experiences with burnout, people-pleasing, anxiety, and reinvention, Kirsten shares how healing begins not with fixing what is broken, but with remembering what is already whole.

Together, Sonya and Kirsten explore why so many high-achieving women suffer in silence, the myths surrounding boundaries, and what becomes possible when women stop performing and start listening inward. They also dive into Kirsten’s work as author of Building Up Boundaries, her leadership at the iRest Institute, and her belief that joy is not a reward. It is a right.

This episode is a reminder that it is never too late to reclaim your spark. Healing does not come from striving harder. It comes from coming home to yourself.
