172FF: Building Systems That Support You and Your Brain: Linzy Answers Listener Questions

Are you caught in the loop of thinking you need to learn just a little more before you take action — or feeling totally stuck when it comes to choosing the right tools for your practice?

In this full-length Feelings and Finances episode, I’m answering two powerful questions from therapists working through real-life challenges. Edgar, a Money Skills for Therapists grad, shares their story of moving from insurance to a successful cash-pay practice — and now wondering how to balance learning with doing, and how to stay grounded while being a self-advocate as a queer therapist of color. Rachel, who’s new to private practice, opens up about the overwhelm of deciding which services are worth paying for — from billing support to HIPAA-compliant email tools — all while managing ADHD and a full client load. 

I dig into how to figure out the real emotional cost of certain business tasks, how to recognize when it’s time to stop gathering information and start taking action, and how to make spending choices that truly fit your brain and your values. If you’re wrestling with questions around growth, capacity, and trusting yourself in business, this episode is for you.
