    What's Actually Working in Private Practice Hiring with Meredith Harold

    Hiring is one of the hardest parts of growing a private practice, and most of the advice floating around in Facebook threads isn't cutting it. If you've posted a job and gotten crickets, or gotten someone in the door and lost them to a bigger practice, this episode is going to give you a much clearer picture of why. I'm sitting down with Meredith Harold, founder of The Informed SLP and Informed Jobs, to talk honestly about what's happening in the SLP job market right now. Meredith brings real data to this conversation, and some of what she shares is going to surprise you. Here's what we're getting into: Why most SLP pay data online is wrong, and how large agencies are making their offers look more competitive than they actually areWhat Meredith's research actually shows drives candidates to apply and say yes (it probably isn't what you'd guess)How to have better conversations with candidates before they make a decision without you in the roomWhat your website and your reputation are already communicating to job seekers before you ever get them on a callWhy hiring always costs you something, whether that's money or labor, and how to think through which one makes sense for where you are right nowIf you're hiring or building toward it, Meredith's platform is worth knowing about. Informed Jobs was built so small private practices can actually compete with large agencies on a fair playing field. Find it at theinformedslp.com. If hiring feels like one of the biggest walls you keep running into, this conversation is going to help.

    How to Rank Higher on Google and ChatGPT Without Redoing Your Entire Website

    Blogging is the most accessible and high-return thing a private practice owner can do to rank higher on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT, and you don't have to be a great writer to do it. If you have ever wondered why clients who are actively searching for your services are not finding you online, this episode is going to give you a very clear and very doable answer. I am a huge believer in boots-on-the-ground marketing, referral relationships, and building a real community around your practice. But I also know how powerful it is when your website starts doing some of that work for you, especially during the busy season when you are already stretched. In this episode, I am making the case for blogging as the single highest-return investment you can make in your online visibility right now, and I am walking you through exactly how to do it in a way that actually works. Here's what we're getting into: Why Google and ChatGPT are both rewarding fresh, helpful, human-written content and what that means for your practice websiteThe real reason AI-generated blog posts can hurt your rankings more than help them, even when they sound decentHow one blog post can become an email to your list and at least five pieces of social media contentWhy your Instagram captions can now show up in Google search results and how to write them so they doThe minimum blogging consistency that makes a real difference (spoiler: it is one post a month and about 12 hours a year)Resources mentioned: Free SLP Keyword Guide Blogging 101 Course (use code BLOGTODAY for $50 off!) If you are ready to stop being invisible online and start showing up where clients are already looking, this episode is a great place to start. Hit play and let's get into it. The ScaleSmart Podcast with Hannah Boeck is made for speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists who are in private practice, thinking about starting a business, or learning to leverage their skills to make money beyond the therapy room.

    How IndiAide Helps Patients Actually Do Their Home Exercises with Alyssa Antcliff, M.S., CCC-SLP

    If you've ever sent a patient home with a worksheet and then watched it disappear into the black hole of a backpack or a car seat, you already know the problem this episode solves. I'm talking with Alyssa Antcliff, M.S., CCC-SLP, the co-founder of IndiAide, about why home programs fail so often and how a new reimbursement pathway might be sitting right under your nose. What we cover: How IndiAide replaces paper handouts with a simple portal where patients get reminders, mark activities as done, and even send photos or videos so you can check their form between sessionsWhat remote therapeutic monitoring actually is and how it lets you bill for the home program work you're already doingA real breakdown of the numbers, including how a single patient could mean close to twelve hundred dollars in additional reimbursement over a yearHow Alyssa built IndiAide from a grad school project into a research-backed platform now used across 15 to 17 states, including the role her dad played in building the very first versionIf you've got patients who aren't progressing as fast as they should because the home program just isn't sticking, or if you're curious about a reimbursement pathway you might be missing out on, this episode is worth your full attention.

    Revisiting Excuses: The Fear Underneath the Stories We Tell Ourselves

    Do you ever catch yourself saying, “I don’t have time,” “I’m not ready yet,” or “I just need one more thing before I start”? Those excuses feel real, but they’re actually protective stories your brain creates to keep you safe and small. And while they might make you feel productive, they’re often the very thing holding you back from the life and business you want. In this episode, I break down the three types of excuses that keep us stuck—protective excuses, disguised priorities, and those tied to self-worth—and share how to spot them in your own life. Then, I’ll walk you through my simple 4-step process to start rewiring those patterns so you can build confidence, take action, and finally move forward. What you’ll hear in this episode: The three types of excuses and how to recognize themWhy your subconscious creates excuses in the first placeHow excuses connect to fear, self-worth, and being seenThe 4 C’s method: Catch it, Challenge it, Change it, Condition itSmall, doable actions that shift you out of excuses and into momentum If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start your practice, launch your product, or go after a big goal, this episode will help you recognize what’s really been stopping you—and give you the tools to take that next step anyway.

    Why Some Private Practices Are Successful (And Others Stay Stuck)

    10 years of patterns, all in one episode. If you've ever looked at another practice or business owner and wondered what they're doing differently, this episode is going to give you some real answers. After 10 years of coaching private practice owners and entrepreneurs at every stage of business, I've noticed patterns that have nothing to do with clinical skill or business knowledge or the niche you're in. The patterns of success show up in how people invest in themselves, how they handle the hard moments, and whether they're willing to stay the course when things feel slow. Here's what we get into: Why the way you show up online tells potential clients exactly what it will feel like to work with youThe real reason consistency works, and why doing something once or twice gives you zero data to work withWhat happens when you try to avoid mistakes, or worse, let them erode your self-trust, and why that keeps you playing smallWhy your business can only grow as far as your time and energy allow, and what to do about itWhat it actually looks like to go after your goals without apologizing for themIf you've been wondering why some practices take off while others stay stuck, this episode will give you an honest look at what makes the difference.

    How to Stop Relying on One Income Stream in Private Practice with Karin Hartunian Koukeyan

    What if the leap you've been waiting to take is already happening, whether you're ready or not? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Karin Hartunian Koukeyan, SLP and founder of SpeechFit. Karin spent over 28 years building her clinical career before launching her own practice, and it wasn't a clean, confident jump. It was a layoff that forced her hand, a summer with $0 coming in, and a slow, deliberate build across multiple revenue streams that's still growing today. We talked about the guilt around charging what you're worth, what it actually takes to diversify your income in private practice, and why the seeds you plant right now matter even when nothing is sprouting yet. Here's what we get into: Why a single revenue stream puts your practice at risk, and how Karin structured her time from day one to protect against thatThe money shame that runs deep in the SLP field and what it costs you when you don't work through itWhat happened when Karin sat in the silence after saying her price and why the clients who paused came back readyHow she went from running an accent modification program at her daughter's preschool to landing a school district contract years laterWhy listening to what your community actually needs is the most underrated business strategy in private practiceWhat "don't stay in your lane" looks like in real life, and how Karin built communication coaching and paid speaking into her practice by staying openIf you've been playing it safe, waiting for the right moment, or wondering how to build something that actually fits your life, this conversation will meet you where you are.

Megan trains coaches, practitioners and leaders with the tools for faster (inner) transformation without fighting themselves along the way through Holistic NLP, a combining of the principles of NLP and her 10 years as a holistic health coach.

Here's what we get into Why fear of rejection is universal, and how the people who've moved past it got thereThe real reason you're not holding your cancellation policy (and what it's actually costing you and your clients)What "the way you do one thing is the way you do everything" actually means in practice, and how to use it to spot your own patternsHow boundaries aren't just good for you, they're what your clients need from you tooWhy distraction feels productive and how to recognize when you're using a real problem to avoid doing the uncomfortable thingWhat it looks like to choose your growth instead of waiting for something hard to force it on youIf you've been giving more than you're getting, holding back more than you're saying, or wondering why your business feels like it has a ceiling, this one is going to land.

    You Don’t Have to Be Fluent to Show Up for Bilingual Kids with Keila Gutierrez

    You don’t have to be fluent in a language to serve a bilingual child well. That’s the message Keila Gutierrez is on a mission to get into the hands of every SLP who has ever hesitated at the therapy room door. Keila is a bilingual SLP, private practice owner, and digital product creator who grew up 45 minutes from the Mexican border. She owns Desert Lily Bilingual Speech Therapy Clinic and recently co-created a physical card product with Bilingual Speechie to help clinicians apply the complexity approach with bilingual children. In this Community Chats episode, she’s sharing what she knows about treating speech-sound disorders across languages, and why monolingual SLPs are more equipped than they think. Here’s what we’re getting into: Why only about 8% of SLPs are bilingual, and why that makes this conversation one every clinician needs to haveThe difference between language-matched and cross-linguistic service delivery, and why monolingual SLPs can do more than they realizeHow to build real connection with a bilingual child without being fluent, including a greeting that goes further than you’d expectWhy cutting out a child’s home language isn’t just a clinical decision, it affects their identity, their family, and their futureThe card product Keila built for treating speech-sound disorders in bilingual children, and how to get itIf you’ve ever hesitated to work with a bilingual child because you weren’t sure you were enough, this episode will change that.
