In this episode of The Money Sessions, LIMB grad Dr. Shauna Pollard shares her transformative journey from burnout and back pain in a high-earning group practice to creating a sustainable, creative, and values-aligned solo practice.  

A psychologist with ADHD, Dr. Shauna candidly discusses the toll that overwork took on her health and energy, and how moving across the country, leaving insurance behind, and setting premium fees allowed her to build a life and practice she loves.  

This conversation is a powerful reminder that private practice isn’t just about money—it’s about creating space for joy, purpose, and impact. 

If you’re a therapist dreaming of more spaciousness, alignment, and impact in your practice, this is a must-listen.

 

In this episode, Shauna shares: 

Why financial success at the cost of creativity, health, and personal freedom wasn’t enough;

The mindset shifts she made to leave her packed schedule of 30+ clients per week behind;

How leaning into her neurodivergence became a strength in designing her ideal business;

The challenges and empowerment that came with raising her fees to $250/session;

Why redefining accessibility changed how she serves her community—and herself.
