How can you protect your practice in a mental health tech landscape that doesn’t always have your best interests at heart? In this episode, I’m joined by Megan Cornish, a social worker turned writer, for a powerful conversation about the realities therapists face when working with large mental health platforms.
Megan shares her own journey out of community mental health and into writing, and together we dig into how these platforms can undervalue clinicians while prioritizing profit. We talk about the venture capital model and the ways it can exploit therapists—and just as importantly, what you can do to protect yourself. Megan offers thoughtful, practical strategies to help therapists stay grounded and strategic in a shifting industry.
If you’ve felt uneasy about the rise of mental health tech or unsure how to navigate it while staying true to your values, this episode will help you feel more informed and empowered.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
