    From Wimpy to Wow: How to Transform Your Psychology Today Profile With Aaron Price | IP 169

    Okay, let’s talk about this, folks. I know a lot of us break out in hives at the mere thought of marketing. 😜 And yet - some of the most talented healers I know sit with open appointment slots while people who need their help are scrolling Psychology Today, completely lost. It's heartbreaking on both sides. 💔 But we can fix that. :)  So today, I’ve found someone who can help. Aaron Price is quite the therapy evangelist, who’s cracked the code on this whole thing. He helps therapists bridge the gap between "I know I can help…" and "but how do the right people actually find me?". And now, he even has a unique tool that he designed and developed himself, Therapy Profile Pro, that I loved learning about. I know how to write a smart profile, and have helped countless therapists do exactly that. And even with that, I found this conversation to be incredibly helpful. In this episode, you'll learn: The simple math formula that will change how you think about marketing. (This is easy - and eye opening.)The TWO questions we should all be asking when we consult with a new client (… and why the second question can give you SO much insight into your ideal clients).Aaron’s three-paragraph Psychology Today formula that actually works to attract better clients (and how not to waste precious real estate on your profile).The specific Psychology Today optimization hacks that some therapists miss completely (and how to use those for your advantage).This episode really was filled with actionable tips you can implement today. And Aaron was kind enough to offer a discount code for Ideal Practice listeners who want to take advantage of his software.  I am not an affiliate, y’all. I just liked what he had to share, and I think what he has to offer is probably worth a look. So grab a cup of coffee and give this one a listen. Because when you learn to market authentically and strategically, you're not just filling your caseload – you're making it easier for the people who need your unique gifts to actually find you. #win/win 😎 ~Wendy P.S.  I know you'll love this.

    Carla Titus | Stop Working for Free: How to Pay Yourself a Real Salary | IP 168

    Buckle up, y’all, because we’re getting into one of the most critical (and most avoided!) topics in private practice ownership … paying yourself an actual salary. I'm talking with the brilliant Carla Titus, a fractional CFO who helps mental health group practices and healthcare providers get financially healthy. Carla works with everyone from solo practitioners to seven-figure practices, and she’s the kind of person who speaks truth to us in a way that we need to hear it. :) Because here's the thing …  You're not running a charity. You're running a business.  And CEOs don't work for free – so why should you? In this episode, you'll learn: What’s really going on when you don’t pay yourself a salary. (Hint: it’s not because you don’t have the cash.)When debt could be a GOOD thing. 🤔The concept of "owner's equity" that will completely flip the way you think about starting a business (or even putting money into your practice).Key characteristics that ALL successful business owners have in common.Carla also coined my new favorite phrase: "financial treatment plan."  That's exactly what we need, isn't it? The same intentional, systematic approach we use with our clients, but applied to our money. We get that language! When you stop treating your practice like volunteer work and start paying yourself what you're worth, everything changes, my friend.  You show up differently. You serve better. And you actually enjoy running the business you worked so hard to build. Give her a listen. ~Wendy P.S.  Carla was a high-energy, straight-talking, positive-thinking, downright inspiring guest.

    Jeremy Zug | What If Insurance Billing Wasn’t So Hard? A Helpful Conversation... | IP 165

    I’m so excited about today’s conversation, guys, which is a weird thing to say about … insurance. 😵‍💫 Today’s guest, Jeremy Zug from Practice Solutions, lives and breathes mental health billing (yes, that's a thing!).  And he doesn't sugarcoat it.  Mental health billing IS harder than medical billing.  Insurance companies DO play games with us.

You're absolutely right.  But here's what Jeremy knows that most of us don't - there's a better way to play this game. In this episode, Jeremy walks us through his unique approach that completely flips the traditional billing process on its head.  (I so wish I'd known this 20 years ago!) In this episode, you'll learn: Why you should do payment posting BEFORE submitting a claim (this one tip alone could save you thousands).The red flags that mean it's time to walk away from an insurance contract.What to negotiate in your contracts beyond just payment rates.The six must-haves when choosing a billing service (... 7 if you include my own!).Listen, I know many of you would rather have a root canal than deal with insurance billing. I get it.  I've been there, got the scars to prove it. 😬 But avoiding this stuff doesn't make it go away. It just costs you money and creates problems in your therapeutic relationships. So let’s learn how to do this better - for our clients’ sake, and our own. Give this a listen. ~Wendy P.S. Even if you don’t or can’t accept insurance in your practice, you may still find this an eye opening conversation.

    Michelle Knox | I've Got a Great Logo - Does That Mean I've Got a Great Brand? | IP 163

    Today, I'm talking with the truly talented Michelle Knox, a brand strategist and designer who has become not only one of my closest friends, but also one of my most trusted advisors over the years.  Michelle helps women entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits cut through the noise and create messaging that actually makes the right people stop and pay attention. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into why most people are starting their branding journey completely backwards, and how to fix that before wasting another dollar on pretty graphics that don't convert. Michelle breaks down her powerful "3 C's" framework and shares some seriously eye-opening stories about what happens when you finally get clear about who you really serve.  (And, uhm, we’ll include a behind-the-scenes look at my own brand evolution that I hadn't exactly planned to share…😅). In our conversation, you'll learn: The essential step you must take before you even think about designing a logo or a website.Why your messaging should REPEL most people from working with you. (And yes, I meant to say that.)The one fear that you must face, if you want to stop looking and sounding like everyone else. (And please, for the love of your clients, do stop looking and sounding like everyone else!)A simple way to test whether your messaging is landing with the right people (Spoiler alert: this one could take you out of your comfort zone.)Michelle also shares that standing out isn't about being louder (or prettier or more poetic or more clever or…whatev’s).  It's about being clearer. #TRUTH: Bland branding might feel safe, but it's also invisible. One of the things I love about Michelle is her ability to call it out when she sees me making a mistake in my own branding.  Today - you will learn from her too, just as I have.  Give it a listen. ~Wendy P.S. Did this make you think? If so, good. That’s what my goal is here on the Ideal Practice podcast.

    Railey Molinario | Relationship Intelligence, and Why You Must Trust Your Self | IP 162

    Are you a relationship expert in one way or another? Feel like that’s something you have a pretty good handle on? As healers - especially therapists - we often consider ourselves experts on what it takes to develop healthy relationships - but how often do you think about the relationship you have with yourself?  The truth is, many of us struggle with the very foundation of all healthy connections: trust. And especially: with trusting ourselves. Today I'm talking with Human Connection expert Railey Molinario, who is passionate about the concept of "Relationship Intelligence™".  She says there is a missing component we can all use to truly develop the life we dream of having - and it starts with learning to listen to ourselves. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our life (and how to make sure yours are thriving).The one skill we all master as healers, but often lack in our own lives - and what happens when we start to practice it with ourselves. (Oooh - that’s interesting!)Why brainstorming is one of the most valuable skills you have – and how to use it to change your life.A simple hack to shift yourself out of the “I’ll be happy when …” mindset.This conversation is packed with a ton of truth bombs, y'all, but here's what I really want you to hear… You are worth the life of your dreams.  You are worth following through on the promises you make to yourself. You are worth creating boundaries that honour your values – especially as someone whose work is helping others. So give this one a listen. And then maybe grab a journal and ask yourself the best question ever: If you could wake up tomorrow and be anywhere, doing anything – what would your life look like? Because if it’s in your heart, it’s meant for you.  Trust me. But more than anything, trust yourself.  (Because you really can make it happen.) Here’s to the power of your dreams, ~Wendy P.S. Got a dream you can’t imagine coming true?? Or maybe, a dream you CAN imagine, but just don’t know where to start in order to get there? I’d love to hear about it. Send me an email at wendy@WendyPittsReeves.com, and I’ll answer you personally! ______________ TODAY’S GUEST:  RAILEY MOLINARIO   Railey Molinario, founder of RI (Relationship Intelligence™), is an international speaker empowering therapists, leaders, and changemakers to build thriving relationships, both personally and professionally.
