The Traveling Therapist Podcast

By: Kym Tolson
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • 162. Mental Health Support for Nomads with Geleen Antonio
    Apr 23 2025

    Mental health support for nomads is more important than ever, especially as more people choose location freedom without leaving their emotional wellbeing behind. Whether you're a therapist looking to reach a global audience or a traveler seeking support that understands your lifestyle, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

We explore how Geleen built a global mental health directory, why culturally aligned care matters, and how she's making mental health support for nomads more accessible and community-driven than ever before.

    In This Episode, We Explore…

    • Why traditional mental health models don’t always work for nomads
    • How Travel Not to Escape connects travelers with therapists who “get it”
    • The importance of culturally competent care for people living abroad

    Apr 9 2025

    Building a coaching business with intention isn’t just about strategy—it’s about honoring who you are, what you value, and the kind of life you want to create. For Lauren, that meant walking away from a path in traditional therapy and choosing to build a business that aligned with her energy, lifestyle, and deeper sense of purpose.

    In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I talk with Lauren Ashley about her journey from psychology to coaching, how travel gave her clarity, and why building a coaching business with intention is at the heart of everything she does now. She shares what it looked like to pause, get real with herself, and rebuild a business that feels authentic, easeful, and aligned.

    In This Episode, We Explore…

    • Lauren’s path from psychology to coaching and how she knew it was time to pivot
    • The role travel played in helping her reconnect with herself and her purpose
    • Why energetic alignment matters when building a business
    • Letting go of what success is “supposed” to look like
