Working with a host of high-profile clients as an entertainment executive, Jennifer Musselman learned a whole lot about big business and strategic communications. While she expected to learn and learn fast, Jennifer was perhaps less prepared to act as confidante. Feeling both ill-equipped to thoroughly address more personal issues and drawn to "a higher purpose," Jennifer left her business-centric job to earn her Masters in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University.
"Fear will hold a lot of people back," Jennifer asserts. "What I find is most challenging about making a career change is making the decision to go for it." So that's just what she did — following her heart to do what she wanted rather than what seemed safe. It was a big, scary decision that more than paid off.
Now, as a life therapist, Jennifer uses her communication background in concert with her passion to help clients from all walks of life flourish both personally and professionally. Additionally, Jennifer played a big role in launching a nonprofit aimed at alcohol recovery. It's a whole heart job that is both emotionally taxing and incredibly rewarding. As Jennifer is quick to point out, it's all worth it when you "get to make a difference in someone's life!"
