Key Quotes: 

"I felt very used at the time, and it took me a long time. This is a 2 year process for me, probably about a year before I started to really understand, after having had some conversations with people, that and it was named that this was actually systemic racism." (Dr Aneesa Shariff, 00:06:43) 

"I Really felt backed to a corner, really. And, you know, had that rude awakening of in order for me to be able to live a life that's fulfilling for the next few years, something has to change." (Dr Melody Smith, 00:13:25)   

"I think really, you know, what that makes me think about is that often we go through these things and they have such a huge impact on how we feel, but because people aren't it's very difficult to articulate what's happening because it's so complicated." (Dr Melody Smith, 00:27:15) 

In this episode, host Wendy Kendall speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Gemma Parker and counselling psychologist Dr. Amy Woolston about how they have developed community-oriented private practices. They discuss the importance of community connection for wellbeing, dealing with challenges like moral injury and burnout from working in large healthcare systems, and finding alternative success measures beyond income that align with their values. 

Key Discussion Points:

- Setting up community interest companies (CICs) as social enterprises to bridge private practice with meeting community needs  

- How community psychology enables more open, equitable, and mutually beneficial relationships 

- Slow and organic evolution guided by community input rather than top-down structures 

- Redefining concepts of leadership, boundaries, integration of personal and professional identity   

- Addressing moral injury and other wounds from restrictive systems through freedom to work to own values

Key Quotes: 

"Rather than thinking about being out there on social media, on the web on the interwebs, on the Internet, as promotion, as, influencing in a in some kind of negative way. [00:12:46] How about it being a a different space for connection and a place where actually we can potentially resource peoples we can resource people and we can and we can provide if we show up in certain ways, we can provide safety for people still." (Wendy Kendall, 00:12:46)   

"It's building a muscle. Right? It's just like going to the gym. [00:44:21] The first time you try to do a deadlift, it's not gonna be cute. It's not gonna be pretty. You're not gonna lift that much off the ground. But every time you do it [you get better.] And I know this is a cliche, but it's a cliche for a reason. It's very true. [00:44:33]" (Tania Bhattacharyya on building confidence, 00:44:21) 

"Because marketing is mission. You know, I think sometimes people have [a] misconception that marketing is not just about having a website. [00:17:45] It's not just about going to a conference. It's not just about sharing online. It really is an extension of your mission because just like you said, if you are not showing up and sharing about the work that you're doing, there's a whole audience of people who have been looking for you. They haven't even known that they're looking for you and the unique services you provide, but they miss out. Right?" (Tania Bhattacharyya, 00:17:45)

"It feels I think people assume that if you go into private practice, it's a very lonely place. And even in just the last few months that I've really been trying to to make my bed in it, I've realized it absolutely isn't. There are a lot of people out there." - Dr. Kate Jenkins, 00:49:06
