Selling the Couch

411: Making Peace with Your Becoming: Navigating Brand Evolution as a Therapist


Listen Later

In this deeply honest and practical conversation, I’m joined by fellow clinician and creative coach TJ Walsh as we explore what it means to evolve your brand in real time — especially when your identity as a therapist is shifting.

TJ introduces a simple but powerful framework:

Push. Pull. Propel.

It’s a guide for navigating professional discomfort, emerging desires, and the momentum that comes from integrating both.

We talk about:

* Why branding is worked out in real time

* Letting go of perfectionism and overthinking

* The emotional cost of being “the product” in therapy work

* How to know when it’s time to pivot

* Building Quiet Builder and navigating multiple identities

* Intuitive practices for clarity and alignment

* Why slow growth is often the greatest gift

If you're in a season of change — whether it's launching a new offer, exploring a new part of yourself, or simply wondering “what’s next?” — this one is for you.
