    Episode #794: Abundance Mindset in Practice: When Belief Meets a Slow Week

    A full caseload doesn't stop the panic. Turns out abundance and scarcity can live in your chest at the exact same time. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're getting into why abundance isn't a destination you finally arrive at, what actually drags you back into scarcity mode (hi, doom-scrolling therapist Facebook groups), & how to steady yourself without waiting for the fear to disappear for good.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #793: Treating Terminal Illness

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Tessa about niching into end of life and terminal illness work as an older therapist. We talk through how to market a niche you didn't plan for, why hospice and oncologists can be both competitors and referral sources, how to find a collaborator to handle grief work with family members so you can stay in your lane, and the annoying-but-necessary reality of promoting a group when you're teaching other therapists how to run one. Tessa also opens up about what it's like to age alongside your clients, and we get into why that's an asset, not a liability, in this field.  Sponsored by Paubox & TherapyNotes®.

    Episode #792: Reconciling Private Pay Guilt in Private Practice

    Going private pay full-time doesn't have to mean carrying guilt about who gets left out. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're digging into the question of whether leaving insurance is a values conflict, why the idea that private pay only serves rich clients is a myth, & the real, tangible ways to give back that don't require torching your business model to do it.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Doors for our fall cohort open September 21–24. Whatever's holding you back (leaving without abandoning clients, pinning down your niche, writing website copy that actually sounds like you), you'll build a structured transition off the platforms, plus weekly group calls every Tuesday and the Niche Evaluator to help between sessions.

    Episode #791: Office Space: To Stay or Go

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Halina, who's weighing whether to stay in her current office or move closer to home as her lease comes up for renewal. We talk through the real trade offs of commuting versus working from home, why her beloved office community & layout matter more than shaving a few minutes off the drive, & how to think through a big decision like this with questions about regret & what feels like the next evolution of your practice instead of just chasing convenience.    Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #790: Balancing Private Practice and Parenthood as a Therapist

    You're a therapist and a parent of young kids & you feel like you're failing at both. You're not alone & there is a way through. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Between us we've raised four kids in private practice. We're getting into what actually makes this work, why it mostly comes down to your fee and your schedule, & why you have more control over this than you think.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #789: Marketing Couples Therapy, feat. Susan Saint-Rossy

    In today's episode, I chat with Susan Saint-Rossy, LCSW, LICSW, a couples therapist who helps other couples therapists build their practices, about the nuances that make marketing to couples so different from marketing to individuals. We dig into writing to two buyers at once (who often have different agendas), why niching within a niche means describing the relational dynamic you love working with, why couples usually find you in an act of desperation rather than through a friend's referral, & why individual therapists are your best referral source. Susan's also doing a full training on this for Abundance Party members, so if you work with couples (or want to), don't miss it.  To learn more about Susan Saint-Rossy visit https://www.couplestherapiststudio.com/  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #788: Private Practice Income: How Long Until You Replace Your Salary?

    Filling your caseload in private practice: some say it happened really fast, some say it took forever & neither answer is particularly useful. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're getting into what a realistic timeline actually looks like, what factors move the needle most, & why the answer is so much more in your control than you think.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #787: How to Get More Clients

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Jo-Ann, who niches in women diagnosed later in life with ADHD, about why her marketing isn't quite matching her ideal client yet. We talk through why networking with psychiatric practices & testing psychologists is worth doubling down on since it's already working for her, why YouTube & Instagram may not be the right fit unless she genuinely loves creating content, & how to speak directly to her ideal client's daily overwhelm (aging parents, kids, & the grief of a late diagnosis) instead of getting caught up comparing herself to the bigger ADHD conversation happening online.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
