    Key Quotes:

    "I always surprise myself that when I look into my accounts and I find something, I'm like, what is that reoccurring payment that's been going out for, like, the past year? And I said, I think, I've not seen that for for a very long time. I need to go and check what that is and just make sure that that's still doing what it should be doing." (Dr. Matt Cunliffe, 00:11:09)

    "If I help you be better at managing your finances, you're going to show up better for your clients. You're going to go home and not have to worry about that I pay my bills. Will I have enough? Because it's all related to each other, especially with private practice owners." (Andrea Rotondo, 00:20:58)

    "Having some oversight on that and knowing exactly what is going in and going out at any given time is really important. And I I always surprise myself that when I look into my accounts and I find something, I'm like, what is that reoccurring payment that's been going out for, like, the past year?" (Dr. Matt Cunliffe, 00:10:35)

  • S2 Ep 1 - From Burnout to Balance: Navigating Healing in Private Practice

    In this Inspiring Psychologist podcast, host Wendy Kendall and Dr. Paula Redmond discuss the important yet challenging topic of burnout and finding balance in private psychology practice. They are joined by guest Dr. Laura Villa to share their experiences and insights around navigating burnout, overwhelm, and healing in the context of building an independent practice.

     

    Key Discussion Points:

    Many psychologists enter private practice already experiencing burnout from previous work environments, hoping to find more balance. However, private practice presents its own unique stressors and demands (9:19) The importance of community and social support for combating isolation and burnout risk in private practice (18:44, 27:26) Using models like Compassion Focused Therapy and Polyvagal Theory to understand burnout dynamics and the need for self-care (50:50, 55:54) Building in structures and routines that support the "soothing system" rather than oscillating between "threat" and "drive" (51:25) Valuing intangible self-care while still meeting tangible business needs (54:12) Normalising the realities of private practice - it's hard work and carries responsibilities, but can allow better alignment with values (59:58)

            • S1E10 From Stigma to Empowerment: Changing the Narrative on Neurodiversity in Private Practice.

              Episode 10 of the Inspiring Psychologists podcast, titled "From Stigma to Empowerment: Changing the Narrative on Neurodiversity in Private Practice," explores the groundbreaking work of three remarkable psychologists who are challenging traditional norms and perceptions in their practices. Dr. Emma Offord from Divergent Life, Dr. Katie Adolphus of The Adolphus Practice, and Dr. Lola Perez-Gavino from Mind Made Easy share their inspiring stories of supporting neurodiverse individuals and families while promoting empowerment and understanding.

              The episode delves into the urgent need for society and the psychology profession to rethink and revolutionise conventional approaches to supporting neurodivergence. The guests emphasise the importance of providing the right support, understanding, and environment for neurodivergent individuals to thrive. They dispel the notion that being neurodivergent means being incapable of holding a job, maintaining relationships, or having a family. They highlight the significance of personalised care, tailored interventions, and the power of a supportive community.

              Throughout the episode, the psychologists emphasise the transformative power of changing the narrative around neurodiversity. They discuss the importance of shifting the focus from stigmatising labels to recognising the unique strengths and abilities of neurodivergent individuals. By fostering a more inclusive and accepting society, they aim to empower neurodivergent individuals to lead fulfilling lives and challenge the limitations imposed upon them.

              Listeners are invited to join this thought-provoking conversation and gain insights into how they can make a lasting impact through their own work. By breaking the mould of private practice, these inspiring psychologists are paving the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for neurodivergent individuals and their families.

                  • S1E9 The Power of Collaborating with big companies for positive workplace change.

                    In Episode Nine of the Inspiring Psychologists podcast, host Wendy Kendall discusses the power of collaboration and the role of business psychologists in shaping the future of private practice. She is joined by her colleagues Michelle Minnikin and Rebecca Longman, both business psychologists, for an insightful conversation.

                    Wendy is excited to have her occupational psychology colleagues on the show, as they have been focusing on clinical and counseling psychologists in previous episodes. Michelle and Rebecca share their journeys and evolutions in private practice. Michelle talks about feeling out of place in traditional work environments and the struggle to create a psychology practice that truly represents her. She found inspiration in the book "Be More Pirate" and with her partner, James, rebranded their company as Work Pirates, allowing them to be more authentic, challenging, and provocative in their approach.

                    Rebecca also reflects on her career path, freelancing for big companies and eventually finding her role as a consultant in leadership development and training at Mind Gym. She emphasises the importance of individuals taking ownership of their careers and making choices to break free from the control of work. Rebecca's book, "Let's Love to Work," explores this idea.

                    Discover how these innovative practitioners have forged impactful partnerships with corporations, creating waves of positive change within the workplace. We'll explore the concept of 'positive disruption' and discuss transcending the 'do good' paradigm, particularly for women in leadership roles.

                    This episode is a must-listen for psychologists looking to shape a private practice that reaches beyond individual clients to impact larger organisations and create lasting, systemic change.

                        Our guests emphasise the importance of embracing the body and breath in therapy, especially when working with trauma and childhood memories. They explore the concept of embodied relational therapy, highlighting its connection to Gestalt therapy and stressing the need to avoid separating the body and mind in therapeutic processes. By incorporating the body into the therapeutic journey, therapists can achieve outcomes that are more holistic.

                        The discussion delves into the value of reconnecting with our bodies and intuition. Wendy Kendall and the participants highlight the need to prioritise our embodied sense of self and challenging external notions of success. They acknowledge the resistance and internalised beliefs that may hinder individuals from embracing this approach while encouraging the act of slowing down, connecting with oneself, and making choices based on personal values and intuition.

                        The conversation underscores the body's inherent power as a tool for self-regulation, emphasising that balance doesn't rely on external consumption. By embracing our bodies, we cultivate a deeper connection with nature and move away from artificial environments. The participants reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, where many rediscovered nature and found solace in their local communities.

                        Reconnecting with our natural selves brings joy but also challenges. Breaking free from societal stereotypes and resistance requires courage and determination. The discussion addresses misconceptions around body-focused practices and emphasises the importance of education and awareness.

                        This episode emphasises the value of integrating movement and mindfulness in psychology practices. By embracing the body-mind connection, therapists can foster holistic healing, personal growth, and meaningful connections with oneself and the world.

                            • S1E7 A Simple Marketing Rhythm: The Essential Marketing Strategy for Psychologists and Therapists

                              Welcome to Episode 7 of the Inspiring Psychologists Podcast, where the focus is on breaking the mold of private practice. In this episode, host Wendy Kendall, a psychologist and private practice coach, delves into the thorny issue of marketing. While there is a plethora of content available on marketing, Wendy highlights the need to strike a balance between marketing and the various roles psychologists play in their practices.

                              Wendy introduces the concept of creating a simple marketing rhythm—a stripped-down version of marketing that fosters a sense of safety, connection, and visibility. She emphasises the importance of marketing as psychologists and therapists, not only to help as many people as possible but also to communicate our unique perspectives and make a positive impact.

                              The episode discusses how traditional marketing approaches may not align with the transformational relationships that psychologists strive to build with their clients. Wendy challenges negative messages around visibility and addresses the vulnerability associated with marketing and being visible online. She highlights the need for psychologists to be present in the online space and contribute their informed perspectives.

                              Drawing from the occupational psychologist perspective, Wendy acknowledges the demanding nature of private practice and the need to switch between various roles throughout the day. Visibility and marketing can feel challenging, given the vulnerability involved and the uncontrolled nature of the online world. However, Wendy proposes a shift in mindset, viewing marketing as an extension of psychologists' existing skills in connecting, sharing, and having conversations.

                              The episode concludes with Wendy introducing the three core elements of effective connection-based marketing: conversations, sharing content, and connecting with others. She offers a carousel of prompts to guide psychologists in creating engaging content for social media and emphasizes the importance of inviting people to connect as a natural next step in building relationships.

                              Overall, this episode encourages psychologists to embrace a simplified marketing rhythm that aligns with their values and fosters authentic connections in the online space. By leveraging their existing skills and focusing on conversations, sharing, and connecting, psychologists can enhance their visibility and make a positive impact on a larger scale.
