Even though this isn’t easy to share, I want to give you a behind the scenes look into my August income report. August 2024 was my lowest income month since March 2023. Despite that, I am really, REALLY proud of everything I accomplished in August!
In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes of my lowest income month in 1.5 years and WHY that happened. I’m breaking down my revenue and expenses for August 2024 including what offers the earnings came from and what exactly the expenses were.
My biggest hope for you is that YOU are willing to play the long game. You CAN build a sustainable business that lights you up, but you need to get crystal clear on what your dream private practice looks like.

Are you a therapist who’s showing up on Instagram, but you’re not getting the results you want?
Maybe you’re already posting content to your page, but your following isn’t growing. Maybe you’re stuck in the ‘200 view jail’ and your engagement feels like it’s never gonna come back. Despite putting in what feels like solid effort, you still haven’t gained a client from Instagram.
Trust me - I’ve been there myself, and I know it sucks when you’re not growing on Instagram.
I know you see plenty of other therapists growing and getting results, and you’re wondering why you’re not. Growing on Instagram is NOT impossible. But..if it’s feeling hard, it may be time to shift and try something new. If you’re not sure what that is, you’re in the right place!

It’s time to set the record straight on something...
The Instagram algorithm is NOT out to get you!
Contrary to popular belief, Instagram is trying to help you. Their primary goal is to keep people on the app for as long as possible. When it comes down to it, the Instagram algorithm cares about human behavior. As therapists, we definitely resonate with this, because WE are experts in human behavior!
But...if you’re not seeing the results you want on Instagram, this is an episode you don’t want to miss! I’m sharing seven things that therapists need to know to beat the Instagram algorithm.

Instagram has been the place where I’ve shown up consistently, built genuine connections, and ultimately, grown my business.
I’ve started and grown not only one, but TWO Instagram accounts that grew to 10k followers in under one year. I’ve filled my caseload with private pay clients from Instagram, which led me to earning 250k as a private practice therapist in my very first year.
Now, I teach other therapists how to market themselves on Instagram, and see mind-blowing success too! Yep...Instagram is kinda my thing, and I love how life-changing this platform can be.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing why I chose Instagram to market my private practice. I’ve learned some valuable lessons from using Instagram as my main marketing platform. I’m diving into 5 ways you can use Instagram to grow your private practice, and totally maximize your results while still enjoying yourself!

I’m very excited to have my first guest, Laney Wallace, onto the podcast today! Laney Wallace is a New York City therapist who specializes in supporting highly self-aware women get unstuck, ‘feel’ their feelings, and live boldly.
Laney and I started working together in October of 2022; she joined the Private Practice Academy Bundle, and she’s had quite the journey with her business since then. Her Instagram has totally blown up and she’s even reached $20,000 months in her private practice.
In today’s episode, we’re chatting about how Laney initially built her practice up with insurance clients. She eventually transitioned fully to private pay, and now charges $250 per session.

I can’t believe it, but my podcast is officially LIVE, and I’m so excited to be sharing my very first episode with you today!
I really want to show you what’s possible as a therapist, and give you the courage to take action on your goals and dreams. I believe that EVERY single therapist should be making 6+ figures in their practice - that’s my personal mission, and since helping hundreds of therapists do just that, I know it’s 100% possible!
In today’s episode, I’m discussing what my career path to becoming a million dollar Instagram therapist looked like, and the many ups and downs I experienced along the way.
I have chosen to do the scary, brave stuff on my journey, and while it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, it has brought me the results (and the life) I desired. I hope my story encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and take big, bold moves, regardless of where you are with your therapy practice!
