    S2Ep3: Building a Successful Trauma-Informed Practice (with Danielle Golan)

    In this episode, I get the wonderful opportunity to have a conversation with Danielle Golan, founder of The Feeling Space, an LGBTQIA and ENM/poly-affirming group practice in Southern California. Danielle shares insights into her specialty in trauma, including PTSD, CPTSD, and EMDR and brain spotting modalities, as well as how to initiate and market trauma-based therapy practices. She emphasizes the importance of niching down in therapy specialties and talks about her background in integrating various techniques. We also delve into the ethics of therapy, the challenges (and surprising benefits!) of supervising associates, and the importance of learning how to market your private practice. Danielle provides invaluable advice for new therapists and those looking to start their own group practices, and I recommend taking notes while you listen to this episode of the Action Practice Building podcast!

    S2Ep1: I Am Strong, I Am Powerful (with Patrick Muñoz)

    The vast majority of my coaching students tell me that they know that confidence is important in networking situations, but that it feels out of reach for them. How can we be confident -and appear confident- in situations where we're talking with strangers about ourselves and our businesses? In this episode, prominent Hollywood vocal coach and all-around badass Patrick Muñoz takes time to talk with us about the ways he coaches people to use their voice, breath, and posture to communicate maximum confidence. If you've ever thought, "Everything would be different if I could just get confident," you're not going to want to miss Patrick's sage advice!

    S1Ep20: Ben Spills the Beans about Action Practice Building (with Ben Esch)

    I can sit here all day and tell you what it's like to be in Action Practice Building, and if you ever come and visit me, I just might. But I know people want to hear about it from someone who has been through the program. In this episode, APB alumnus Ben Esch sits down with me to discuss his experience in the program, and how it changed his approach to networking and building his caseload in general. If you're considering trying Action Practice Building, but you want to hear from someone who has been on the inside (and who, coincidentally, is also a damn fine clinician), this is your chance!

    S1Ep19: The Shapes That I'm Making (with Kim Bevans)

    Although I often have advice for what to say and do during networking events, I don't often offer much advice about what my students can do with their bodies, let alone the cues that their bodies might be sending them during these experiences. To bridge that gap, I have invited Kim Bevans, a therapist and coach who specializes in Embodied Work, to join us here to discuss the cues your body sends you in challenging and stressful situations, and how to listen to them and deal with them effectively so that you can feel as comfortable as possible. If you're like me, and you're in your head a lot, or if you're all-too-aware of your physical cues but don't know what to do about them, this episode is one you won't want to miss!

    S1Ep18: What It's Like to Be a Well-Connected Therapist (with Susannah Horwitz)

    Certainly, everyone has told you a million times how powerful networking is for building up your practice- including me. But hearing a real person's success story is quite another thing altogether. This week, I meet with fellow networking coach and accomplished expressive arts therapist Susannah Horwitz to discuss her incredible journey building a highly successful practice from scratch. If you're in a place where you need clients NOW, then listen to Susannah's story and do it just the way she did!

    S1Ep17: Networking That is Sustainable and Pleasurable For You (with Ginelle Krummey)

    One of the things that puts people off of networking is the ENVIRONMENT- for many people, the idea of crowding into a space filled with strangers and doing a training or (gasp) an icebreaker exercise is enough to bring on a panic attack. But what if it didn't need to be that way? What if YOU controlled the setting and created community on your terms? Listen to Ginelle's story to learn how she seized the goddamned bull by the horns and created a networking strategy that works for her AND built her practice to the success it is today.
