    Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

    In this solo episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m talking about why discomfort is not a sign that you’re doing something wrong, especially when you’re growing a private practice or building something new. So many clinicians know what they need to do to move forward, but they get stuck because the next step feels awkward, scary, or unfamiliar. This episode is about understanding why growth almost always feels uncomfortable and why avoiding it keeps you stuck longer than you realize. I’m sharing personal stories from moving to New York City as a teenager to walking into a cardio tennis class where I didn’t know anyone, and how those moments mirror what it actually takes to grow a business. We’re talking about discomfort in a practical, realistic way and how to work within your comfort zone without letting fear make your decisions for you. In this episode, I talk about: Why discomfort is a normal and necessary part of growing a private practice and building confidenceHow fear of judgment shows up in things like social media, marketing, and visibilityWhat it means to stretch within your zone of proximity instead of forcing yourself into big leapsHow evaluating the worst case and best case helps you move forward even when something feels hard If you are a speech therapist or private practice owner who keeps putting off certain tasks because they feel uncomfortable, worries about being judged, or feels stuck even though you know what to do next, this episode will help you reframe discomfort, build trust in yourself, and take the next step forward anyway.

    Rethinking Private Practice to Avoid Burn Out & Expand Your Impact with Claire Powers

    In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Claire Powers, speech therapist and creator of Authentically You Speech, to talk about what happens when you love your profession but the traditional model starts to break you down. Claire shares her honest journey from early burnout and private practice limits to building a career that includes online education, parent coaching, and digital offers that actually support her life. This conversation is real and reflective, especially for clinicians who feel boxed in, underpaid, or quietly questioning if this is all there is. We talk about the disconnect between the impact therapists make and the compensation they receive, the pressure to give endlessly, and what it takes to step outside the therapy room without abandoning your values or identity as a helper. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many therapists feel disillusioned by pay, workload, and long-term sustainabilityHow recognizing your natural strengths can open doors beyond traditional therapy rolesThe shift from child-only therapy to parent coaching and community-based supportNavigating selling, visibility, and criticism as a caring, service-driven clinician If you have ever felt conflicted between loving your work and feeling worn down by it, this episode will help you feel seen and open your mind to new ways of using your skills without burning yourself out.

    Everything You Need to Know About Websites

    In this solo episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m breaking down why your website is one of the most important marketing tools for speech therapists and private practice owners. Your website is often the first impression a potential client has of your speech therapy practice, and when it is unclear, outdated, or hard to navigate, it costs you inquiries and referrals. This episode is about understanding what actually makes a speech therapy website work and why simplicity and clarity matter more than flashy design. I’m sharing the most common website mistakes I see speech therapists make and how to fix them so your site builds trust, improves user experience, and supports your Google search rankings. We’re talking about content, layout, accessibility, and SEO in a way that feels practical and realistic for busy clinicians running a private practice. In this episode, I talk about: Why your website acts as the digital storefront for your speech therapy private practice and how first impressions impact client trustThe content and design mistakes that increase bounce rate and prevent speech therapy websites from convertingHow client-friendly language, clear structure, and strategic keywords help speech therapists rank higher on GoogleWhat speech therapists need to know about ADA accessibility, user experience, and building a website that works for real people If you are a speech therapist who feels unsure about your website, struggles to explain what you do online, or wonders why your site is not bringing in consistent speech therapy clients, this episode will help you understand what to focus on, what to simplify, and how to create a website that actually supports the growth of your private practice.

    Building a Sustainable Practice with Ellie Richter

    In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Ellie Richter, bilingual speech therapist and founder of The Essential Teletherapist, to talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable practice using virtual services. Ellie shares her journey as she transitioned from in-person services to 100% virtual school contracting, and how teletherapy became not just a service model, but a way to protect her energy, time, and family life. This conversation goes far beyond private practice, speech therapy, tools, and platforms. We talk honestly about boundaries, buy-in, and the mindset shifts clinicians need to stop bending their businesses around everyone else’s expectations. If you have ever felt stretched thin, frustrated by inefficiency, or unsure how to advocate for a model that actually works for you, this episode will help you rethink what is possible. In this episode, we talk about: Why teletherapy struggles often come from a lack of training and systems, not the model itselfHow clear boundaries reduce stress, resentment, and decision fatigue in private practice and school contractingWhen virtual and hybrid services make sense, and how to stop trying to convince the wrong clientsUsing data, progress tracking, and communication to build trust with parents and school districts If you are curious about virtual services but worried about pushback, burnout, or doing it “wrong,” this episode will give you a grounded perspective on how teletherapy can support both client outcomes and your quality of life.

    Trusting Yourself Again: 2025 Lessons and 2026 Predictions with Hannah Boeck

    In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m reflecting on the biggest lessons 2025 taught me and what I’m intentionally leaving behind as I step into 2026. This year stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. I found myself listening to too much outside noise, questioning what I already knew, and chasing advice that pulled me out of alignment. These lessons didn’t break me, but they did force me to get honest about where I stopped trusting my intuition and started playing small. I’m also sharing my grounded predictions for private practices, marketing, and business in 2026. This conversation is about rebuilding self-trust, simplifying your business, and showing up in a way that actually feels sustainable and real again. In this episode, I talk about: Why overconsuming information and staying in student mode can quietly stall your growthLetting go of the idea that there’s a secret you’re missing and learning to trust your own experienceWhat hiding, perfectionism, and fear of judgment cost you in business and visibilityWhy authenticity, simplicity, and real connection will matter more than ever in 2026 If 2025 left you feeling disconnected from your instincts, overwhelmed by outside advice, or unsure of your next move, this episode will help you slow down, come back to yourself, and move into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

    The CEO Shift: Building a Profitable and Sustainable Practice with Dr. Adam Robin

    What happens when you stop relying on hustle, emotion, and instinct to run your private practice and start leading with clarity, data, and the identity of a true CEO? That shift is what helped physical therapist, clinic owner, and entrepreneur Dr. Adam Robin transform his practice from stressed and unstable into a financially grounded, profitable, and scalable business. After realizing that hard work alone wasn’t enough to grow, Adam dug into the deeper mindset and financial foundations that private practice owners are rarely taught. Now, he teaches clinicians how to step into confident leadership, build businesses that support their lives, and make profitability intentional rather than accidental. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Adam to break down the personal transformation behind business growth, from untangling old stories around money and boundaries to understanding KPIs, break-even metrics, and the systems that keep a practice running smoothly. Adam shares the realizations that changed everything for him, the financial truths practice owners need to embrace, and the leadership skills that create long-term stability and sustainability. In this episode, we talk about: Why private practice is really a personal transformation journey in disguiseHow adopting a finance-first mentality protects your energy, time, and profitabilityThe role of systems, KPIs, and break-even numbers in building a sustainable businessWhy emotional decision-making keeps practices stuck, and how to shift out of itWhat stepping into the CEO role actually looks like for cliniciansHow virtual assistants can help owners reclaim time and scale with easeIf you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed by money decisions, or unsure how to grow without burning out, this episode will give you the perspective and clarity you’ve been missing, and remind you that your practice can only grow as far as you do.

    From Startup to Growth: Private Practice Tips with Jill Shook

    What happens when you stop winging your private practice and start building it with intention, structure, and the mindset of a true medical professional? That single shift is what helped speech-language pathologist and private practice owner Jill Shook move from flailing through decisions to running a grounded, sustainable, and well-designed business. After years of figuring things out the hard way, Jill now teaches clinicians how to avoid the overwhelm she once experienced by getting clear on their vision, setting up systems that support growth, and stepping confidently into the role of CEO. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Jill to talk about what private practice owners really need to know when they’re getting started, why systems matter more than people think, and how learning the basics of insurance and compliance can save thousands of dollars and hours of stress. Jill shares the practical strategies she uses in her own practice, the business mistakes she hopes others will avoid, and the mindset shifts that help clinicians charge their worth and uphold boundaries with confidence. In this episode, we talk about: How Jill went from overwhelmed new owner to creating a clearer, more intentional private practiceWhy a simple business plan sets the stage for smoother decision-making and smarter growthThe systems and EMRs every clinician needs to protect revenue, save time, and improve client experienceWhat clinicians must understand about insurance, even if they plan to stay private payThe mindset shift from school-based clinician to medical professional and business ownerIf you’ve ever felt lost in the logistics, stressed about insurance, or unsure how to build a practice that supports both your clients and your life, this episode will show you exactly where to start and how to move forward with clarity.

    The Link Between Parent Involvement, Fewer Cancellations, Faster Progress, and Happier Staff with Stephanie Wagers

    What happens when you shift from “fix my child” to true collaboration with the adults who spend the most time with them? That single mindset shift is what helped occupational therapist and private practice owner Stephanie Wagers transform her clinic, reduce cancellations, and rebuild trust with families after years of feeling stuck. What began as a desire to understand why some parents stayed engaged and others drifted away turned into a research backed framework that boosted progress, increased consistency, and improved therapist satisfaction across her entire practice. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Stephanie to talk about what parent engagement really looks like, why most therapists misunderstand what parents need, and how simple changes in communication can reshape outcomes. Stephanie shares the systems she created, the scripts her team uses, and the language that helped bring caregivers back into the therapy room with confidence. In this episode, we talk about: How Stephanie identified the gap between therapist expectations and parent experienceWhy parent engagement is the key to fewer cancellations and stronger progressWhat it looks like to bring caregivers into sessions with clarity and consistencyHow shared language across a clinic reduces burnout and increases therapist satisfactionSimple strategies you can use immediately to strengthen family partnershipsIf you’ve ever felt frustrated by no shows, low carryover, or disengaged families, this conversation will remind you that meaningful progress begins with connection, and you can start strengthening that connection today.
