Episode 310 - Showing Up with Compassion: Kade Matthews on Parenting, Therapy, and Life’s Detours

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna Lilly sits down with Kade Matthews—a devoted father, psychotherapist, and lifelong advocate for creating healing spaces. Kade opens up about his own non-linear path, weaving together stories of parenthood, professional growth, and the ways music, poetry, and time in nature have been therapeutic anchors in his life. As both a clinician and a parent of young adults, Kade offers a rare dual perspective: candidly acknowledging his own stumbles while emphasizing the importance of compassion, connection, and finding joy in the journey. From mountain biking and canyoneering to supporting families through transition programs, Kade’s story is one of resilience, authenticity, and living in alignment with values. Listeners will walk away inspired by Kade’s reminder that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, vulnerability, and the courage to keep showing up for yourself and those you love.
