Abundant Practice Podcast

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?

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®.

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?

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?

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?
