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...

Hey there, everyone!
Last week, I had a wonderful conversation with Gordon Brewer, host of The Practice of Therapy podcast, about how to keep your private practice going when your life is completely falling apart. It touched me so deeply that I wanted to come back this week and dive in with some of my own thoughts.
Because here's the thing... life happens to all of us sooner or...

She was on the edge of burnout…
…getting sick more often, and having to cancel appointments with clients she loved - all because she’d lost any semblance of control over her calendar.
Funny isn’t it? How easy it is for us to get ourselves in trouble - just because we want to be there when our clients need us, or - heck - because we’re trying to make a living.
But it happens - a lot. ...

Can you believe we're halfway through the year already?
Yikes - that went fast. 😳
So how are you doing with those big goals you set for your practice back at the start of the year? If you’re not sure, or if it’s been a while since you’ve checked in with those goals - this is for you.
The truth is, most of us can only handle about 90 days’ worth of focus at a time anyway, so ch...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about some of the more creative ways that some therapists are working with their clients.
Because the truth is, I always love the sheer variety of different ways that we can serve our clients.
So today, I thought I’d share my own story with you, and tell you about a slightly crazy thing I did back in the day. 😁
Today, you’ll hear the wild ...

Today’s guest caught my attention when I got word about an experiential workshop she was hosting for therapists in our area. When I looked into it, I was struck by the way she’s grown her practice - managing to combine her skills and experience in a VERY creative way.
I’m speaking with Julie Jerrolds, an LPC Supervisor and EMDR-certified therapist from the beautiful Seymour, Tennes...

Growing a successful private practice takes a lot more than a nice office and some cool posts on Instagram or a brief profile in Psychology Today.
It takes courage - and lots of it.
There have been countless times when I knew I wanted to go somewhere with my practice that would require me to step up in a bigger way, to play a bigger game.
And each time, t...

“There’s no such thing as a solopreneur.”
That’s what Melissa Snow said to me when we first met to discuss her possible appearance on the podcast. And just like that, I was hooked.
Her point?
She went on to explain that our network is our strength, and finding ways to build deep connections with others is the healthiest, and fastest, way to grow your practice.
After all - who are y...

Okay, y’all, today we're digging into a topic we often push aside.
We talk a lot about what it means to build an Ideal Practice(c), attracting perfect clients, doing the work we were called to do... but what happens to all of that – and more importantly, to our clients – if the unexpected happens to us?

Well, it's tax time here again in the US, my friend. 💸 So - how are you feeling?
Are you sitting back, cool, calm, and collected because everything's handled?
