EP 226: Q&A: Burnout, Business Growth, and the Future of Therapy Practices

This week, I'm opening up about attending a high level business retreat in Los Angeles and the surprising lessons that followed me home. From crying on the plane over mom guilt to sitting in rooms full of wildly successful female founders, I share the mindset shifts, burnout realizations, and behind the scenes truths about entrepreneurship that rarely make it onto Instagram. We talk about why protecting your time and energy is no longer optional, what successful women are actually prioritizing behind closed doors, and why implementation matters so much more than endless learning. 

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• 1:30 - The emotional reality of leaving family behind for business growth opportunities and navigating the guilt that comes with it

• 5:00 - The burnout realization that only became obvious after stepping away from work for a few days

• 8:15 - Why implementation matters more than endlessly consuming courses, trainings, and information

• 11:45 - What high level female founders prioritize differently when it comes to schedules, boundaries, and energy

• 15:20 - The truth about hard work, freedom, and what successful entrepreneurs are actually doing behind closed doors

• 17:40 - Why community and accountability are becoming more valuable than information in the age of AI

• 19:10 - The biggest reason therapists are struggling to get intakes in 2026 and what marketing strategies are working now

• 24:00 - Additional revenue opportunities for therapists including intensives, EAPs, and scalable income streams
