Listen to The Myths That Keep You Undercharging and Overworking as a Therapist on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Your player of choice So many therapists are undercharging and overworking. I see this happen WAY too often with the individuals in our field. But it’s not because you’re “bad with money” or “not cut out for private practice.”  Nope – it’s the MYTHS you’ve been told that are keeping you stuck! These myths sound noble on the surface, but in reality? They’re pushing you straight toward exhaustion, burnout, and frustration. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the myths

Listen to Scripts for the Hard Conversations as a Therapist in Private Practice on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Your player of choice If you’ve ever frozen up mid-session thinking “how do I say this?!” today’s episode is for you! Maybe you need to raise your rates or end therapy with a long-term client. Maybe you need to turn someone away who just isn’t the “right” fit. Either way, these convos can be TOUGH! It’s even harder when you’re in private practice and don’t have a supervisor close by to run it by.  You’re definitely not alone, and

Listen to Why Social Media Feels So Overwhelming Right Now on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Your player of choice Let’s be real – posting on Instagram consistently is a LOT. It’s basically an (additional) full-time job! As a therapist, you’re already seeing a full caseload. You’re handling documentation,  coordinating care, and still trying to be a human outside of work.

Listen to A Debrief: My Top 5 Viral Reels on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Your player of choice Ever wonder WHY an Instagram reel goes viral?!

Listen to How I Told My Therapy Clients I’m Pregnant & Going on Maternity Leave on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Your player of choice Today’s episode is a bit of a personal one. I’m pulling back the curtain on how I shared with my therapy clients that I’m pregnant and preparing for maternity leave.  Maybe you’re newly pregnant, or you’re trying to conceive.
