Close the Chapter Podcast with Kristen Boice
Welcome to the Close the Chapter podcast! I am Kristen Boice, a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private counseling practice, Pathways to Healing Counseling in Noblesville, Indiana. The mission for Close the Chapter Podcast is to help you through life’s transitions, navigate the hard and lonely times along the journey, learn helpful and powerful ways to cope with emotions and transitions, and empower you to discover the REAL you. The goal is to help you feel more calm, content, compassionate and connected. We will close the chapter on what doesn’t serve you any more and open the door to new possibilities. I will be hosting solo some weeks and sharing about a variety of topics that will help you find healing in your journey. Other weeks, I will have conversations with guests who will share information, stories and helpful strategies. I want to make this practical to every day life. My hope is you will have actionable steps every episode and motivation, inspiration and HOPE for making sustainable change. We want to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, shame and fear. You are not in this alone!
