Episode #786: How to Take Maternity Leave When You're the Whole Business Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

You just found out you're pregnant & your second emotion is panic about your practice. Nobody tells you about the business side of this & there is a lot to figure out. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Four kids between us, both in private practice. We know some things & we're sharing all of it, what we did right, what we'd do differently, & how to actually protect your income & your clients without losing your mind.

Episode #785: Increasing Private Pay Clients Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Heather, who's three years into private practice, full at 25-27 clients a week, but working harder than she wants to. We dig into why increasing her private pay visibility, raising her rate, & taking insurance off her website will move the needle way more than hiring a clinician, subleasing office space, or building a course. We also talk about sliding scale and why it's worth sitting with what you actually want for your practice instead of what you think you "should" want.

Episode #784: Fix the Schedule You Built in Survival Mode Aug 15, 2026

Show notes

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're chatting about filling your practice & hating your schedule. Turns out you're more stuck in your head than in your actual situation, it's codependency not logistics, & there's absolutely a way to fix it without blowing everything up. We get into what that actually looks like & why so many full therapists stay stuck way longer than they need to.

Episode #783: Private Practice While Grieving Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

I chat with Abundance Party member Zack about reorienting his practice while grieving the loss of his father, covering when to raise rates versus focus on networking, why discovery call no-shows are becoming more common, using AI search tools to get found by ideal clients, and why personal relationships will always beat VC-backed platforms on referrals.

Episode #782: See Fewer Clients Without Making Less Money Aug 08, 2026

Show notes

In today's Ask Abundance, me and Rebecca Smith, Ph.D. are talking about what to do when you're seeing 32 clients a week and can feel yourself burning out. Rebecca's been there too, and she walks through the exact math that got her from 35 sessions a week down to 20 without losing income. We get into raising your rates, why more clients stay private pay than you'd think, and the number that actually makes reducing your caseload realistic.

Episode #781: Being a Virtual Nomad Therapist, feat. Dr. Ann Krajewski Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Ann Krajewski, PsyD, about building a private practice while living abroad. We bust the big myths: that it's illegal, that malpractice insurance won't cover you, that virtual practices can't be profitable, that living abroad is expensive, & that time zones make everything too complicated. Ann's actually done this, in Morocco, Thailand (where she gave birth for way less than most people's deductible), & beyond, & she talks about how seeing way fewer clients can still mean living really well. Consider this your permission slip to start fantasizing about running your practice from somewhere with an olive grove.

PS: Abundance Party members, Ann is our expert trainer for August! Find details on her August 19th training in your portal or in the private Facebook group.

Episode #780: Do You Need an Office? Aug 01, 2026

Show notes

In today's Ask Abundance, me and Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D. are talking about whether an in-person office is actually worth it. Rebecca went from "I'm never leaving my house" to signing an office lease, and started seeing new referrals almost right away. We get into what changed, why it worked, and the one part of having an office she genuinely didn't see coming.

Episode #779: Tween/Teen Niches Jul 29, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Stephanie, a school counselor of 16 years who's transitioning into private practice across two states. She loves working with tweens & teens navigating friendship drama, but was getting jumbled trying to niche down without losing the variety she loves. We talk through her niche, why she shouldn't undercharge just because she's on the cheaper side of a state line, & how to talk directly to teens (& their parents) on her website.

Episode #778: Do You Really Need Social Media to Fill Your Practice? Jul 25, 2026

Show notes

Rebecca Smith joins me today to answer a listener question: why do I say social media isn't necessary for marketing, but Abundance Practice Building still has an Instagram presence? We get into who social media actually works for, why a huge following doesn't guarantee a full caseload, why the same content can flop on TikTok & take off on Instagram, & how platforms like YouTube can help people choose you even when they're not bringing in new clients directly. Grab today's free worksheet, Common Marketing Strategies for Therapists, via the links below.

Episode #777: Raised Rates, Need More Clients Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with Abundance Party member Rachel about why raising her rate backfired, and it wasn't the number that was the problem. Rachel built part of her practice around clients who kept finding her by accident, at the expense of the ones she'd clone ten times over if she could. We talk about how to tell the difference between a real niche and a topic that just happens to bring people to your door, why "financial therapy" was filling her calendar with the wrong clients, and how to get specific enough about your ideal client's breaking point that the right people stop hesitating and book.
