Welcome back to the "Career Therapy" podcast, where we explore the intersection of work and well-being. I’m your host, Coach Marty, and each episode I interview mental health experts, coaches, and industry insiders to bring you practical insights and tips that will help you build a meaningful, rewarding, and sustainable career. So join me as we explore the path to career satisfaction, one conversation at a time.

In today’s episode we sit down with Robyn McKenzie a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Marin County California, where she works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Together, we explore the role that personality plays in your career and how you can use free assessments like the Enneagram to better understand yourself, your motivations and the strengths you bring to your career. 

If you’re enjoying the Career Therapy Podcast, please leave us a review on Spotify, or iTunes and share this episode with someone you know who is struggling in their job search, so we can help more people navigate their way to a better career. 

Thanks for tuning in. Here is our conversation with Robyn McKenzie.
