Are you feeling stuck in the therapy grind and wondering if there’s a way out? Licensed psychologist turned business coach Amber Lyda joins Kym to share how she escaped burnout, reclaimed her time, and built a life she truly loves, far from a beige office.

In this episode, Amber reflects on her shift to a fully online, private-pay practice and how she transitioned into coaching and course creation. She opens up about setting boundaries, paying others to do the tasks she dreads, using AI tools like Berries with client consent, and why you don’t need social media to attract private-pay clients. If you're craving more time, income, or freedom, Amber’s story offers both inspiration and practical insight.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How Amber hit a breaking point and rebuilt her career with intention.
  • Why she chose an online-only, private-pay therapy model.
  • The boundaries she created to protect her time, energy, and income.
  • Why she believes good clinicians make great entrepreneurs.
  • How she helps therapists turn ideas into flexible income streams.
  • What AI tools like Berries can do, and why client consent matters.
