I interview extraordinary people who forge their own path, make their own rules, and live outside the norms of society. Together, we can learn from each other. Remember, foolish people keep making the same mistakes, smart people learn from their mistakes and successes, and extraordinary people learn from the mistakes and successes of both themselves and of others. That is what Dream Chasers and Eccentrics is all about!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:17:29.178864+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317"},"episode":{"title":"Phyllis E Leavitt, a Spiritual Journey and America in Therapy","slug":"phyllis-e-leavitt-a-spiritual-journey-and-america-in-therapy","published_at":"2026-05-07T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317/phyllis-e-leavitt-a-spiritual-journey-and-america-in-therapy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317","url":"https://87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed.libsyn.com/phyllis-e-leavitt-a-spiritual-journey-and-america-in-therapy","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed/Phyllis_E_Leavitt_-_5226_11.12_AM.mp3?dest-id=4106877","summary":"Phyllis E Leavitt graduated from Antioch University with a Masters' Degree in Psychology and Counseling in 1989.
