About this listen

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.

    Do you feel like no one understands your traveling mom lifestyle? In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Jaclyn Rubbo, LMFT, a licensed trauma therapist, mom, and founder of the Nomad Mom Club, about how her postpartum experience unexpectedly launched her into the world of travel and inspired her to create a space for other moms navigating the same lifestyle.

    Jaclyn shares how becoming a mother shifted her perspective on work, life, and connection. From running a fully remote trauma therapy practice while living in a camper to launching a virtual support community for nomadic moms, she gets real about the beautiful chaos of blending motherhood, mental health, and mobility.

    • How postpartum anxiety sparked Jaclyn’s traveling therapist lifestyle.
    • What it’s like to run a virtual therapy practice from a 20-foot camper.
    • The challenges and beauty of raising a child on the road.
    • Why she started the Nomad Mom Club and who it’s for.
    • How the NARM modality supports virtual trauma therapy and therapist sustainability.
