The Results of My 100K in 90 Days Experiment Are In

👉 Apply for Practice MomentumIn this episode, I share the real, behind-the-scenes results of my 90-day experiment to generate $100K in my private practice coaching business. I didn't quite hit the goal—I landed at $81,798—but the gold was in what I learned and what I’ll do differently next time. This episode is for you if you’re a therapist (counsellor, psychologist, social worker or play therapist) who wants to grow her private practice with more ease, clarity, and confidence. If you're overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” of marketing, or spending your time on tasks that don't lead to more bookings, this will give you a grounded and honest perspective. I take you through how I tracked my actions and revenue (but deliberately didn’t peek until the very end), what worked, what flopped, and the surprising practices, like journaling, decluttering, and channeling ideas from my future self, that led to actual sales and client bookings. You'll also hear why I changed my Practice Momentum sales page back to the original version (and what happened when I did), how I spent my working time, and what I plan to implement in my next 90-day cycle. Your action step: Start your next workday with a 10-minute journaling session where you ask your future self what she would do today. Write it down without editing or overthinking. Watch what happens next. Ready to have an expert in your pocket to help you grow your private practice? That’s what Practice Momentum gives you—on-demand support, strategy, and mindset coaching tailored just for therapists.

The #1 Copywriting Shift Therapists Must Make to Attract More Clients

If you're tired of posting and getting crickets, this episode is going to change how you think about writing copy for your therapy practice. I share a powerful content creation process I used this week that led to 30 aligned pieces of content in just a few hours and none of it came from AI or a template. This process is about tapping into your actual experience, getting into energetic alignment, and writing from a place of wisdom and service.
This episode is for therapists in private practice who feel stuck, unsure what to say online, or worried that their words aren't landing. You'll walk away with a simple, soulful strategy for generating content that connects and converts. Plus, I’ll walk you through how my Oracle card reading cracked open a new layer of insight into what your audience actually wants from you and how I turned it into value-packed posts.
If you're over AI-sounding copy, if your Instagram posts aren't getting traction, or if you're not sure what to say in your emails or on your website... this episode is for you.
Action step for a quick win:Ask yourself, “What is a lesson I’ve learned from a recent client session that others could benefit from?” Write down a single sentence that sums up the insight and then use it to create a relatable post. That’s how you start creating copy that truly connects.

12 Website Mistakes That Are Stopping Your Clients From Booking

Your website should be your hardest-working employee but for many therapists, it’s doing the exact opposite. In today’s episode, I break down 12 common website mistakes I see on therapists' sites that are actively stopping clients from booking. If you’ve ever felt confused about why your site isn’t generating inquiries, this is for you.
We’ll unpack everything from why you shouldn’t offer “discovery calls” (unless you know how to run them), why “fit” language can trigger rejection-sensitive clients, to how your About Page might be doing more harm than good. I’ll also walk you through simple swaps, like ditching stock photos of sadness and using videos to build instant trust and connection.
If you’re a counsellor, psychologist, play therapist or social worker who feels like their site is invisible, confusing, or just not converting, this episode will be really useful. You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and real examples you can model. This episode is especially helpful if you're trying to grow your caseload or you're launching a new website soon.
Action Step:Check your homepage right now. Does it clearly say who you are, who you help, and how you help them? If not, update your headline today using the simple formula from this episode. That one change could help Google index your page better and make it easier for potential clients to say yes.

The Real Reason You're Not Getting Clients (Hint: It's Not Your Fees)

Are you telling yourself the story that “clients can’t afford my fee”? In this episode of the Private Practice Podcast, I break down the common money stories and mindset blocks that keep women in private practice stuck in undercharging, overworking, and feeling undervalued.
If you've ever doubted your pricing, questioned your worth, or worried about raising your fees—this episode is a must-listen. I’ll walk you through the evidence-backed truth about affordability using the bell curve principle and explain why 88% of people can afford your fee. The real issue? You’re likely not communicating the value of what you offer in a way that resonates.
You'll learn how to set your fees using the Mind-Business-Spirit approach, including practical business strategies (hello spreadsheets and projections), how your thoughts shape your income, and how to stay aligned with your soul purpose while running a sustainable practice.
I also share the behind-the-scenes thinking that went into creating Practice Momentum—my high-touch program for therapists who want more clients, more income, and more freedom without doing more. If you’ve barely got clients, feel stuck or invisible, or are on the verge of burnout, this was made for you.
Action Step for a Quick Win:Use the simple formula I share to calculate your session fee based on your business expenses and personal income goals. Awareness is the first step toward aligned pricing.

Struggling to Get Supervision Clients? What Every Therapist Needs to Know Before Marketing This Offer

If you're a therapist stepping into the world of supervision, this episode is your behind-the-scenes guide to doing it profitably, ethically, and without all the confusion. I dive into real questions from our therapist community, including “Do I need a new website just for supervision?”, “How do I take payments for group supervision?”, and “Why is no one booking my supervision sessions?”
This episode is perfect for you if you're newly qualified as a supervisor, or thinking of expanding your private practice to include supervision services, but feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Maybe you've already listed your services and are frustrated that you’re not getting bookings. I explain why simply being qualified isn’t enough—and what to do instead.
You’ll learn how to:
Add a high-converting supervision page to your existing website
Price and package supervision in a way that makes it easy for supervisees to say yes
Use story-based marketing to position yourself as a stand-out supervisor in your niche
Avoid common mistakes like setting up separate websites, undercharging, or inconsistent messaging
Leverage directories the right way (and why they rarely convert)
Create a rinse-and-repeat roadmap for supervision marketing that actually works
I also open up and share personal insights about my 100k-in-90-days experiment—what’s working, what flopped, and how it’s shaping the strategy I’ll soon be handing over to my Practice Momentum members.
Whether you’re launching a supervision offer, struggling to attract clients, or want to create passive income that actually converts, this is a must-listen episode for every therapist in private practice who wants to build a business with intention and integrity.
Action Step:Add a clear “Supervision” tab to your website today and outline your niche, your framework, and your next available group or session. Keep it simple and SEO-optimised so supervisees can easily find and book you.

In this episode, you’ll hear a heartfelt voice note from a Practice Momentum member and learn what really shifted things for her.

Plus, I walk you through actionable tips on how to improve your website, why your Psychology Today profile isn’t converting, and how to fix it — including the #1 thing you can do today to generate more inquiries.

Why You’re Still Stuck (Even Though You’re Doing All the Right Things in Your Private Practice)

If you’re a therapist in private practice who’s ticking every box but still not seeing the momentum, this episode is for you.
I dive into the real reasons why progress can feel slow, even when you’re showing up, investing in your growth, and doing what the experts tell you. I share the mindset blocks that even seasoned professionals carry, like the fear of being seen, or the pressure to be perfect before launching something new and how they sabotage your momentum without you realising.
This episode is for the therapist who knows she’s meant for more but keeps finding herself back in the same place: stuck, second-guessing, or just plain overwhelmed. I talk about how we override our own inner wisdom by collecting more strategies, and why it’s not another course or social media template that’s missing, it’s you, in your fullest expression, leading your business from a place of wholeness.
You’ll walk away with an actionable reframe you can apply today to start getting unstuck and moving forward with clarity.
If you’re ready to break free from this loop and grow a sustainable, values-led private practice, you’re invited to join me inside Practice Momentum—my high-touch 12-month immersion to help you build a business that supports your life, not the other way around.
Action Step:Ask yourself: Where am I waiting to be “ready” before I take the next step? Choose one small action you’ve been delaying, and do it today, messy, imperfect, and exactly as you are.

Feeling Behind in Private Practice? Here’s What That Feeling Really Means

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind in private practice? Like everyone else has it all figured out while you’re still trying to keep your head above water? In today’s episode, I unpack what that feeling really is and why it’s not a sign that you’re failing. In fact, it might be a powerful nudge from your nervous system that it’s time to pause, get curious, and recalibrate.
This episode is for therapists, counsellors, social workers, psychologists and play therapists who feel like the only ones not “on top of it.” If you’ve been comparing yourself to others or feeling like you’re always playing catch-up, this is the reframe you didn’t know you needed.
You’ll walk away with a mindset shift to relieve that pressure, a compassionate lens on your current season, and a reminder that business growth doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from honouring your own rhythm and making micro-adjustments that support your nervous system, not burn it out.

The Subtle Mindset Shift That Helps Me Love My Business Again

Episode 503 | The Subtle Mindset Shift That Helps Me Love My Business Again
If you’re a therapist in private practice and lately you’ve been feeling disconnected, uninspired, or just tired of the day-to-day, this episode is for you.
I created this episode because I had one of those days. The kind where everything feels harder than it should: emails feel heavy, marketing feels pointless, and even your client work feels like it’s pulling more from you than it’s giving back.
And when you’re in private practice, there’s often no buffer because you are the business.
In this conversation, I’m sharing a moment from my own week where I caught myself in that flat, resentful place. Instead of pushing through or slapping a gratitude band-aid on it, I tried something different. A mindset shift that was subtle, but powerful. One that helped me reconnect with my work without guilt, pressure, or performance.
This shift helped me feel more in control, more calm, and yes, more in love with my business again. I want that for you, too.
This episode is for you if:
You’re a counsellor, psychologist, social worker, or play therapist in private practice
You’ve been feeling emotionally flat or resistant toward your business
You want to feel motivated again without forcing gratitude or hustle
You need a more sustainable, honest mindset tool that actually helps
You’re craving more alignment between your energy and your business demands
What I share in this episode:
A behind-the-scenes story of how I moved through emotional resistance
The problem with some of the mindset advice therapists are given
A one-sentence reframe that brought clarity and calm to my day
How to stay in your power—without bypassing what you’re actually feeling
A mindset tool you can use any time you're feeling stuck or drained
What you’ll walk away with:A practical, no-fluff mindset shift that helps you reclaim your energy, realign with your purpose, and keep showing up for your private practice in a way that feels good, even on the hard days.
