Can you believe we're halfway through the year already?
Yikes - that went fast. 😳
So how are you doing with those big goals you set for your practice back at the start of the year? If you’re not sure, or if it’s been a while since you’ve checked in with those goals - this is for you.
The truth is, most of us can only handle about 90 days’ worth of focus at a time anyway, so ch...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about some of the more creative ways that some therapists are working with their clients.
Because the truth is, I always love the sheer variety of different ways that we can serve our clients.
So today, I thought I’d share my own story with you, and tell you about a slightly crazy thing I did back in the day. 😁
Today, you’ll hear the wild ...

Today’s guest caught my attention when I got word about an experiential workshop she was hosting for therapists in our area. When I looked into it, I was struck by the way she’s grown her practice - managing to combine her skills and experience in a VERY creative way.
I’m speaking with Julie Jerrolds, an LPC Supervisor and EMDR-certified therapist from the beautiful Seymour, Tennes...

Growing a successful private practice takes a lot more than a nice office and some cool posts on Instagram or a brief profile in Psychology Today.
It takes courage - and lots of it.
There have been countless times when I knew I wanted to go somewhere with my practice that would require me to step up in a bigger way, to play a bigger game.
And each time, t...

“There’s no such thing as a solopreneur.”
That’s what Melissa Snow said to me when we first met to discuss her possible appearance on the podcast. And just like that, I was hooked.
Her point?
She went on to explain that our network is our strength, and finding ways to build deep connections with others is the healthiest, and fastest, way to grow your practice.
After all - who are y...

If you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, then you know that I’m just as likely to talk about how your sun sign affects your practice, as much as your marketing strategy does, right?
But today, I thought I’d go a little deeper. A little more personal.
I thought maybe it was time to share a more with you about the energy side of runnin...

Okay, y’all, today we're digging into a topic we often push aside.
We talk a lot about what it means to build an Ideal Practice(c), attracting perfect clients, doing the work we were called to do... but what happens to all of that – and more importantly, to our clients – if the unexpected happens to us?
In this episode, I’m talking to the amazing Robyn Miller. Robyn is the found...

Well, it's tax time here again in the US, my friend. 💸 So - how are you feeling?
Are you sitting back, cool, calm, and collected because everything's handled?
Yay you! 😎
Or... are you maybe feeling that familiar knot of stress, scrambling at the last minute, worrying about having the funds to cover what you owe? 😵💫
If you're in the second camp, you're not alo...

We talk a lot about hiring help for your business here on the Ideal Practice© podcast, but we haven’t talked yet about getting help for your finances.

(Did you even know you needed a money team? I know! For the longest time, I didn’t either!)

Hey there everyone!
Have you ever wondered why some clients light you up 🤩, while others leave you drained 😒?
That happens because we, as healers, often feel like we can help anybody.
But that doesn’t mean we should help everybody.
Here’s the thing … I guarantee you will be better at helping some clients rather than others. And once you see that - and lean into it - amazing thin...

Hey there, folks!
A LOT of my coaching clients really struggle around social media and marketing.
They feel like they need to show up constantly… They worry about how to show up and what to post. And that doesn’t begin to cover the challenge of where they should be…
Instagram? Facebook? LinkedIn? TikTok? … or ALL of the above?
Oy. It’s enough to make your head spin.
Lord knows, I get...

So, hey, that whole ‘word of the year‘ thing … Do you do that? Did you pick out a Word to guide you through the year??
And now for some real talk …. Do you remember what it was??
