Generations in Session
What does it mean to live, lead, and grow in today’s world, and how do our emotions shape the way we show up?
Generations in Session brings together two therapists at different stages of their journey: Elizabeth, a psychologist with nearly three decades of experience, and Kaelen, a new clinician stepping into the field. Together, they explore the intersections of mental health, identity, leadership, and relationships through both a seasoned and emerging perspective.
Across the first season, we dive into topics like:
- What emotions really are and how we’re socialized to understand them
- Empathy, imposter syndrome, and the double-edged sword of authenticity
- Burnout, boundaries, and finding drive when life feels heavy
- Leadership lessons from family dynamics, vulnerability, and hard conversations
- Redefining relationships in an age of loneliness and disconnection
Blending stories, research, and lived experience, this podcast offers both depth and relatability, helping you reflect, grow, and maybe even see yourself in a new light.
Tune in for honest conversations, practical takeaways, and a bridge between generations of wisdom in the therapy room.

Born or Built: The Truth About Empathy
Is empathy something we’re born with, or something we learn along the way? In this episode of A Path Positive Podcast, Elizabeth and Kaelen explore the roots of empathy and the many ways it shows up in our lives, relationships, and leadership.
Together, they unpack the balance between nature and nurture—how biology, upbringing, and social context all shape our capacity to connect with others. From mirror neurons to family modeling, from compassion fatigue to boundaries that protect empathy rather than block it, this conversation dives deep into what it really means to feel with someone instead of for them.
Elizabeth brings wisdom from years of guiding people through emotional awareness, while Kaelen reflects on how empathy grows in emerging professionals and younger generations.
Whether you’re a leader, therapist, or simply someone trying to show up more authentically in relationships, this episode invites you to see empathy not as a fixed trait, but as a skill—and a practice—that deepens over time.
