45. Your Intentions Aren't Enough: What *Actually* Leads to Practice Growth


Listen Later

It’s easy to set big intentions for the new year—especially as a thoughtful, reflective therapist. But let’s be honest: intentions alone don’t build the practice you want.

In this final episode of 2025, I’m sharing the quote that’s been sticking with me lately: “The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit—but it is the most significant day.” This episode is an invitation to move beyond just dreaming and into doing. I’ll walk you through how to recognize the places where you're stuck in reflection, and how to gently—but firmly—start making progress, even in the face of uncertainty.

If you’ve been waiting for confidence or clarity before making a move in your practice… this one’s for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

1️⃣ The quiet trap of intention-setting—and what most therapists are missing in the middle

2️⃣ What ACT therapy can teach you about values-driven marketing and imperfect commitment

3️⃣ Why action (not certainty) is the real foundation of confidence and growth
