Creating a life-first therapy practice isn’t just about making a living—it’s about intentionally designing a life that feels aligned, free, and fulfilling. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling more, working less, or living on your own terms, this episode will show you what’s possible.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Lisa Menard about her inspiring shift from a traditional therapy model to a flexible, freedom-based business. Lisa shares how building a life-first therapy practice allowed her to sell her house, go private pay, embrace slow travel, and truly prioritize the life she wants—without sacrificing her passion for helping others.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How Lisa transitioned from agency work to private-pay freedom
• What it really takes to build a life-first business model
• The role slow travel plays in sustainable living and working
• Tips for creating financial freedom while running your practice
• Mindset shifts to help therapists break away from the “old rules”
