    Money With a Side of Woo with Audrey Faust

    If you've ever felt guilty charging what you know you're worth, or if you've caught yourself saying your price like it's a question, this episode is going to stay with you. I sat down with Audrey Faust the Manifesting CFO and bestselling author of She Grows Rich, to talk honestly about the money mindset blocks that keep so many therapists and private practice owners stuck.  We got into the subconscious programming around money that most of us picked up before age seven, how it shows up in everything from your pricing to your follow-up habits, and what it actually takes to start shifting it. What we cover: How to recognize subconscious money beliefs that are quietly holding your business backThe connection between your energy when you say your price and whether clients say yesWhy charging more often leads to better client buy-in and better resultsIf you've been stuck at the same price point or feeling resentful about the work you're doing for what you're earning, this conversation will give you a new way to look at it.

    From Burnout to Breakthrough: Using Animal Assisted Therapy in Speech Therapy with Sharlet Lee Jensen

    What happens when traditional speech therapy approaches stop working and you start paying attention to what actually helps clients feel safe, calm, and willing to engage? For speech-language pathologist Sharlet Lee Jensen, that question led her down an unexpected path into animal assisted therapy and completely changed the way she experienced her work. After years of feeling the weight of burnout, challenging client behaviors, and limited engagement, Sharlet began exploring how the human animal bond could support communication, regulation, and trust inside the therapy room. What started as a single experiment quickly became a passion, and eventually grew into a book, a course, and a growing body of resources for clinicians who want to work differently and more sustainably. In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Sharlet to talk about what animal assisted therapy really looks like in practice, the responsibility that comes with it, and the personal growth required when you step outside familiar systems. Sharlet shares how connection transformed outcomes for anxious clients, why safety and consent are non-negotiable, and how persistence carried her through publishing, visibility, and learning entirely new skills. In this episode, we talk about: What animal assisted therapy actually is and how it supports communication and engagementWhy connection and regulation must come before technique for many clientsThe safety, consent, and animal communication skills therapists must understandHow burnout can be a signal that something needs to change, not a sign of failureThe learning curve of doing something new and why mistakes are part of the processHow following curiosity led to writing a book and creating resources for other clinicians If you have ever felt burned out, stuck with disengaged clients, or curious about doing therapy in a way that feels more connected and meaningful, this episode will expand how you think about progress, growth, and what is possible in your work.

    Can You Really Make Money Selling Courses and Digital Products Online?

    Can you really make money selling courses and digital products as a speech, occupational, or physical therapist? The short answer is yes. But there's a formula, and most people are missing key pieces of it. In this episode, I am breaking down exactly what it takes to identify a product people will connect with and pay for, why most people don't see success (and it's probably not what you think), and what you can do differently to create a sustainable revenue stream outside of your clinical hours. What we cover in this episode: Why a single income stream tied to your time is a vulnerabilityThe difference between passive income and leveraged income, and how both can work for youThe most common reason digital products don't sell, and it has nothing to do with bad ideas or poor marketingHow to understand your audience's problem from their point of view, not yoursWhy selling is serving, and how to price and promote your offer without feeling like you're being pushyWhy most online products fail (hint: it's not the idea)Why wanting to make money for your expertise is not only okay, it's something you've earnedIf you have been sitting on an idea or wondering why something you launched didn't land the way you hoped, this episode will help you see exactly where the gaps are and how to fill them.

    Stop Building the Future From Fear

    I've been having the same dream over and over for months. I'm traveling somewhere new and exciting, but I can't make my flight because I'm trying to cram everything into a suitcase that won't close. When I finally understood what it meant, everything clicked. I've been trying to drag all my old baggage into this new chapter, and it's keeping me stuck. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the future you're building is shaped by the past you're trying to avoidHow to rewrite past experiences by finding the wins, lessons, and gratitude instead of the fearWhy tying your self-worth to outcomes keeps you making small, safe decisionsThe shift that changes fear-based decision making into forward momentumIf you've been holding back because you're afraid something won't work out, this episode will remind you that uncertainty is part of the deal and your worth has nothing to do with the outcome.

    Add a New Revenue Stream to Your Speech Therapy Private Practice with Carly Dorfman

    In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Carly Dorfman, pediatric speech therapist and founder of KIDnection, to talk about how parent and me classes can become a powerful part of a sustainable private practice. Carly shares how a small waitlist problem turned into a community-centered model that supports families, creates leveraged income, and allows therapists to expand their impact without adding endless one-on-one hours. This conversation is especially relevant for therapists who feel stretched thin, boxed into the therapy room, or unsure how to grow without burning out. We talk about building groups with intention, shifting your identity from clinician to CEO, and why structure, boundaries, and implementation matter more than more information. In this episode, we talk about: How parent and me classes can serve waitlists while building trust and connection with familiesThe shift from one-on-one therapy to group-based, leveraged income modelsWhat it really means to move from therapist to business owner and CEOCreating programs that are structured, ethical, and designed for real-world implementation If you have been curious about adding groups to your private practice but felt overwhelmed by the how, this episode will help you see what is possible and give you a clearer picture of how parent and me classes can support both your clients and your life.

    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.
