Listen "Episode 12: The Secret Health Crisis in Massage Therapy - Real Talk with Corey Rivera - Sustainable Bodyworker Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
When was the last time you actually admitted out loud how hard this job is? This episode with Corey Rivera goes right to the heart of the “secret crisis” so many massage therapists carry: the isolation, the emotional exhaustion, even the guilt we feel when loving our work just isn’t enough to keep us afloat. Gretchen gets real about the sacrifices she’s made in her own social life and the unspoken pressure to keep clinging to passion—because what happens if we let ourselves admit that’s not enough? Corey shares the behind-the-scenes of Healwell’s viral article on mental health and the hidden toll of our profession, including the stat that hit their team like a tidal wave. They dig into why “being a healer” can feel like a burden, why boundaries are so tough without real community, and what we actually need to stay well—not just at the table but as whole human beings.
