Therapists Rising Podcast

You’ve created your goals for the year, you have everything planned out. You know when all of your items need to be completed. But you don't seem to be making any progress. You cannot reach these goals. Life throws up unexpected items to derail your plan.

What if you were given permission to adapt, to adjust your plan? 

This afternoon, our well‑crafted episode plan took a rain check—because life and capacity have their own ideas...

You've been avoiding it, haven't you? That little blue LinkedIn notification sitting in your email inbox, taunting you with connection requests you never respond to.

Maybe you think LinkedIn is just for corporate salespeople in suits, not compassionate healers like you.

Maybe you've tried posting once or twice, felt like a fraud trying to "market yourself," and promptly retreated back to the safety of your pr...

You've felt it, haven't you? That creeping realization that the therapy world you trained for is disappearing faster than you can adapt.

Maybe you've watched TikTok "healers" with zero qualifications book out $2000 programs while you're drowning in twelve-month waitlists and Medicare paperwork.

Maybe you've seen colleagues burn out, leave the profession, or settle for jobs that barely pay the bills—...

You've been feeling it too, haven't you? That sense that something is deeply wrong with our mental health system.

Maybe you've drafted posts about impossible caseloads or regulations that harm more than they help.

But every time you go to hit publish, you stop. What if this gets back to my employer? What if speaking up puts everything at risk?

Two weeks ago, I stopped asking "what if" and found out exactly wha...

You've created an incredible program. You have valuable insights to share. You know your work could help so many people.

But every time you go to hit 'publish' on that post about your offer, you freeze.

What if someone reports me? What if I say the wrong thing? What if this puts my registration at risk?

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Almost every therapist I work with struggles with visibility fear — es...

A 19-year-old client sits on his couch staring at a wall for 8 hours a day. He's been in therapy for two years. He's planned his suicide for his 20th birthday. Traditional therapy isn't working.

Three ketamine sessions later, he's dating someone, has a job, and is learning to snowboard.

This isn't a miracle story. It's Tuesday for Dori Lewis.

In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dori Lewis — ...

You've launched your signature program. You know it works. But there's a massive gap between people saying "I'm interested" and actually pulling out their credit card for $2,000.

What if there's a way to bridge that gap—not by discounting your course—but by creating "quick win offers" that actually make people MORE likely to buy your signature program?

Welcome back to Tuesday Tiny Wins—where we...

The system you dedicated your career to was designed wrong from the beginning. Not broken — designed wrong.

970 million people globally need mental health support. We have approximately 1 million mental health professionals. The math isn't just broken — it reveals a system that was never built to serve the people who need it most.

In this paradigm-shifting episode, I expose the uncomfortable truth: Mental Health 1.0 was designed...

You were trained to stay quiet. To follow rules written for a world that no longer exists. To accept that your expertise should be sanitized into beige compliance.

But what if everything you've been told about "staying safe" is actually keeping you small?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I pull back the curtain on what happened after my viral LinkedIn post broke the internet — and more importantly, what it revealed abo...

You were trained to think psychology equals therapy chair. To believe "business skills" are something other people have. To accept that your expertise stops at the consulting room door.

But what if everything you've been told about your limitations is wrong?

In this game-changing conversation, I sit down with Carly Fisher — registered psychologist, government executive, board director, and living proof that therapists ...

You were trained to be ethical. To follow the rules. To keep yourself out of the spotlight and let the system guide the way.

But what happens when the system itself is no longer fit for purpose?

In this milestone episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a truth I’ve been sitting with for a long time — and the reckoning that finally made me say, “I can’t keep pretending this is working.” This isn’t a celebration. It’s a confession. A ...

Ever find yourself sabotaging your own success the moment things start working? Yeah, I see you there - saying no to opportunities that could expand your reach, undercharging like it's a badge of honor, or suddenly deciding your perfectly good program needs to be "better" before you can launch it.

Here's the thing nobody talks about in our field: you're not afraid of failing. You're terrified of succeed...

It's 8 PM. You finished seeing clients hours ago, but you're still at your computer responding to course emails, updating social media, and planning next quarter's strategy.

Every decision runs through you. Every problem lands on your desk. Your business literally cannot breathe without you.

If that sounds familiar—if you've become the center of everything in your business—this isn't a sign you're doing ...

You want to grow. You want to reach more people, serve more deeply, make your work financially sustainable.

But not if it costs your values. Not if it fries your nervous system. Not if it costs your soul.

If you've ever watched other practitioners scale their businesses and thought, "I want to grow, but not like that" - this episode is for you.

This is Episode 3 of our From Therapist to Visionary mini-series, where we&a...

Your calendar is overwhelming. Your nervous system is fried. Every decision - from what email to send to whether you should hire someone - feels exhausting.

And every piece of business advice tells you to "step into your CEO energy" or "think like a boss"... but that feels completely wrong in your body.

What if the problem isn't that you're not cut out for leadership? What if the problem is that you&apos...

You did it.

You mapped the modules. Built the curriculum. Maybe even sold out your first launch.
Your course, program, or offer is live—and people actually bought it.

So… why do you feel so weird?

If you’re standing in that liminal space between relief and restlessness, pride and paralysis—you’re not broken. You’re expanding.

This episode kicks off our 4-part mini-series From Therapist to Visionary—an unfiltered exploration of what...

You’ve built your course.
 Your modules are mapped, your portal’s prepped, your curriculum is solid.

And then someone asks:
 “So… where’s the community space?”

Cue the existential spiral.

Because as a therapist, “community” doesn’t just mean “extra feature.”
 It means emotional responsibility. Boundary navigation.
 And the very real possibility that you’ll end up holding space you never consented to.

But here’s the trut...

It starts off sounding perfect.

Create a course once. Let it sell itself. Finally step off the therapy treadmill and wake up to payment notifications instead of a full caseload.

But what no one tells you? Most therapists who try that route end up with a silent checkout page and a whole lot of self-doubt.

If you’ve ever wondered why your course isn’t selling - or whether this whole “passive income” thing is even real for someone like y...

So… someone told you to start a Facebook group to grow your audience.

And you did it.
You picked a cute name. Made a welcome post. Maybe even went live (sweating bullets but pretending it was chill).
And then… crickets.
Or worse - an entire digital ghost town of lurkers, silent members, and zero sales.

If that’s you - this episode is your permission slip and your reality check.

Because while Facebook groups are pitched as ...
