For a long time, the biggest problem therapists faced in private practice was overworking.

Burnout was a real risk during COVID — there were too many people needing care and too many therapists pushing past their own limits because there was always one more person to help.

But what if that is no longer the challenge your practice is facing?

In this “Best Of” episode, Linzy revisits her conversation with Julie Herres...

What if your life first fee isn't just about earning more — but about creating a practice that can truly support your life?

In this podcast takeover episode, Linzy hands the mic to her biz bestie, Tiffany McLain — founder of The Lean In. MAKE BANK. Academy and host of The Money Sessions — for a bold conversation about what it really takes to build a life first fee practice.

Tiffany speaks honestly and unapologetical...

What becomes possible when you build enough financial stability in your practice to support the life you actually want?

In this “Best Of” episode, Linzy revisits her conversation with Jelisha Gatling — a therapist, Money Skills for Therapists graduate, and former MSFT coach — about what it can look like to move from financial stability into a deeper sense of freedom. Jelisha shares how she sold her belongings...

Money conversations in the therapy world often focus on getting out of scarcity — leaving agency work, raising fees, or building a sustainable private practice. But what happens after that? What happens when your financial circumstances change, but your money beliefs haven’t caught up yet?

In this episode, I’m joined by Allison Puryear, founder of Abundance Practice Building, who has supported more than 10,000 ther...

If private practice has felt harder lately, you’re not imagining it. Caseloads can take longer to fill, marketing strategies that once worked may not be working the same way, and many therapists are carrying more anxiety about money than they were a few years ago.

This week, I’m joined by Diane Webber, a coach in both Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Group Practice Owners, to talk about how we’ve b...

As a therapist in private practice, there can be a moment when you realize that you are the one responsible for caring for your future financial needs.

No employer is automatically setting aside money for your retirement, your maternity leave, your next chapter, or the bigger life goals you’re holding.

In this solo episode, I walk through how to think about future-focused financial planning in a way that feels practical, com...

Many of us become therapists because we care deeply about people, not because we want to spend our days looking at business data. So, it makes sense if tracking metrics feels a little cold, overly analytical, or disconnected from the human side of the work you're doing.

But the truth is, good data can actually support you in caring for both your clients and your clinicians more effectively.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tory K...

There’s a particular kind of stress that comes with spending a large amount of money on your practice while not fully knowing if it’s paying off yet.

In today’s coaching session, I’m joined by Dana Corr—a graduate of the Money Skills for Group Practice Owners program—to explore what it means to be in an investment period inside a private practice.

Together, we unpack the tension between trusting...

Debt carries a huge emotional weight for many therapists. It’s easy to look at student loans, credit cards, or even a mortgage and interpret them as evidence that you’ve done something wrong or fallen behind financially.

Explore the idea with me that debt is not a moral issue—it’s a financial tool. The more clearly you understand both the emotional meaning and the actual cost of debt, the easier it becomes to...

There’s a point in private practice where the question shifts from “How do I fill my caseload?” to “How do I keep this sustainable?”

In this conversation, I’m joined by Kayla Das—a social worker, business coach, and host of the Designer Practice podcast—to explore how clinical supervision and consultation can become a supportive, meaningful addition to your work.

Ready to feel mor...

There’s a kind of stuckness that can show up even when everything looks “ready” on paper—the numbers work, the plan is there, and yet the decision still feels hard to make. I see this a lot when therapists are considering the move from W2 work into full-time private practice.

In my coaching conversation with Dr. Amber Vernon, a recent grad of the Money Skills for Therapists program, we explore what happens ...

Raising your fees can bring up a surprising amount of tension, especially when you care deeply about your clients and the relationship you’ve built. It’s not just about numbers; it touches values, identity, and how you hold boundaries in your work.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through a way to approach fee increases that’s grounded in your actual financial needs, while still staying connected to the kind of...

Have you been avoiding raising your fee, because you're scared to have those hard conversations with your clients? If so, this is the episode for you...

One thing I see all the time with therapists in private practice—especially around money, caseload size, and accessibility—is the pull between taking care of your clients and taking care of yourself.

In this coaching conversation, I sit down with Jessica Katz, a graduate ...

If you’ve ever felt a quiet tension between wanting your practice to support you and feeling like you shouldn’t need that… you’re not alone. This is something I see all the time with therapists—where caring deeply about clients starts to blur into overlooking your own needs. In my conversation with Tiffany McLain, we’re looking at how that pattern shows up around money, and why it can feel so un...

If money in your private practice brings up anxiety, avoidance, or that feeling of “I should have this figured out by now,” you’re not alone. Most of us were never taught how to manage money, and yet we’re running businesses that are supposed to take care of us while we take care of others. That’s a lot of pressure, and it makes sense that money can feel overwhelming.

In this episode, I’m digging ...

Money can sometimes feel easier to manage in your business than in your relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Ed Coambs to gently explore what happens when you bring your money skills home and begin navigating them alongside a partner. We talk about financial intimacy, emotional safety, and what it truly takes to have honest, grounded conversations when two nervous systems — and two lifelong money stories — are...

For many private therapy practices, the end-of-the-road often looks like quietly closing the door, but it can be quite exciting to entertain the idea of selling your practice one day.

In this episode, registered psychotherapist Liane Wood and I gently challenge you to explore what it actually means to build a sellable therapy practice—not because you should sell someday, but because thinking this way creates more freedom, sust...

For our 200th episode of Money Skills for Therapists, I invited my business besties, Tiffany McLain and Maegan Megginson, to join me for a conversation that was more honest than polished. Together, we unpacked the real seasons of entrepreneurship — the times when you feel energized, expanding, and deeply aligned… and the times when you feel tired, restless, like you’re questioning everything, or quietly pulling b...

Seasonal slowdowns can shake even the most well-run therapy practices—especially group practices navigating payroll, profit, and growth at the same time. This week, I sat down with Stef Iverson and Lucinda Bibbs, business partners and recent graduates of Money Skills for Group Practice Owners, to talk through what it really looks like to manage cash flow during a summer slump while still honoring long-term vision, wellness, a...
