If you feel like focus, organization, and impulsivity are some of your biggest challenges to managing your finances well, or that procrastination or avoidant behaviors sabotage your intentions with money, this episode will help ease the frustration.  

In the last couple years, I have had this surge of students who have had recent ADD diagnoses. These are usually women, usually being diagnosed in their late 30s or in their 40s. Since ADD doesn’t present the same way for girls as it does for boys during the elementary years, many young girls went undiagnosed in the 90s and have been silently struggling with the symptoms their entire lives.  

So, in this episode, I talk about why ADD makes money so much harder, and how you can handle this challenge with executive functioning. 

The result is an entire generation of adult women finally feeling relieved of guilt and frustration around some of their biggest, seemingly disconnected challenges. Some practical advice for those impacted by forgetfulness, hindered focus, or being easily distracted includes:  

1. Co-regulate or body-double with a trusted “financial buddy” or community where you find accountability and can thrive off of joint energy dedicated to completing your financial tasks for the week during that appointment. 
2. Create automatic, scheduled “appointments” with yourself for dedicated attention to your finances.  
3. Let automation help you with repetitive financial tasks – think automatic transfers and bill payments.  
4. Delegate tasks that require human thought to someone (like a virtual assistant or bookkeeper) who loves that type of work. 

Your energy is not best used doing tasks you hate, but you can never give away the financial leadership part of your business. But you can give away these menial little tasks that to you feel are boring and maybe meaningless that somebody else actually really enjoys doing.  

Instill automation and people to help you so that you can step into the role of the CEO who looks at the big picture, decides on values-aligned actions, and makes big or difficult decisions for the business. Pairing with someone who loves bookkeeping, for example, is a gift for both of you because they get to do what they love to do and create order. And you get to benefit from that without trying to bend your brain into a bunch of shapes that are just really not how your brain works.

(00:10:01) Enhancing Focus and Productivity with Scheduled Financial Sessions 

(00:12:24) Streamlining Financial Processes Through Automation 

(00:17:56) Financial Empowerment for Therapists 

When you get the right combination of body doubling, creating a set time to do the work, automation, and delegation working in your private practice, helping you with your finances, this thing that can feel overwhelming and kind of the opposite of what your brain wants to do can become much more neutral or even positive.  

The more you can take away the tasks that make it feel like your brain doesn’t work well because you’re asking it to do something it’s not naturally good at, the more you can build systems and supports and bring in help to take care of those things, the more you can show up and shine and in your business and in your life in the ways that your gifts allow you to.

Get to Know Linzy Bonham:  

Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm and in control of their finances through her coaching at Money Nuts & Bolts and her podcast Money Skills for Therapists. 

It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because the financial side was too stressful. 

So Linzy decided to help therapists and health professionals develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught these skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying.

Start Feeling Calm and Confident About Your Group Practice Finances

Feeling overworked and underpaid in your group practice? You’re not alone.

Get the Free Guide: How to Stop Feeling Overworked & Underpaid in Your Group Practice

Have you ever felt guilty for taking a break from work? Do you find it challenging to balance your creative pursuits with your professional responsibilities? If so, you're not alone. Many therapists struggle with feelings of guilt or abandon if they take time away from their practice and worry that clients will need them while they’re gone or not come back to therapy once the vacation has ended.  

Edgar Fabián Frías, LMFT, and graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, brings their current challenge of allowing themselves permission to rest, trust the systems, and redefine what sustainability looks like in their work and life to the show. Edgar has built financial buffers and created sustainability in their practice, but not yet allowed themselves a real break.  

During our conversation, Edgar shares that they’ve noticed when clients take time off, they do sometimes come back with new insights or they’ve made progress on goals. This realization helped Edgar feel “lighter” about taking time off since it would likely benefit clients too. 

If you are someone who finds it hard to take time off, and you know you need a break but you keep pushing that vacation into the future, here are a few questions Edgar and I work through:  

• What if I lose connections with my clients during my time off? 
• Will I have to start over again after taking a vacation? 
• Will my clients seek support elsewhere if I'm not available for a month? 
• What if my absence affects the progress and goals of my clients? 
• What if taking time off leads to missed opportunities or setbacks in my practice? 
• How can I take time for myself but also serve my clients well?

(00:16:28) The Transformative Power of Rest and Exploration 

(00:17:27) Creative Time Management for Productivity and Balance 

(00:22:35) Maintaining Financial Security During Extended Absences 

Overcoming the fear of taking time off is a journey that requires self-awareness, resilience, and a willingness to prioritize your well-being. As a therapist, it's essential to find a balance between work responsibilities and creative pursuits, while also ensuring financial stability and taking breaks to recharge.

One practical tip is to create a schedule that allows for dedicated time for both work and creative activities. Set boundaries and stick to them, ensuring that you have time for self-care and relaxation. Remember, you deserve time off to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Taking breaks can actually boost your creativity and productivity in the long run.  

(00:23:34) "And I honestly as like, you know someone who was so tainted by money and felt so out of control with it. It's been so amazing to be on the other side of it and be like, oh, my gosh, I'm comfortable with money. And I also feel like I have this ability to dream." - Edgar Fabián Frías 

(00:28:13) "When we never take time away, when we don't show them that we're living expansive lives, they know that on some level, you know, that we are someone who works all the time and isn't actually out exploring and enjoying the world, as we are often supporting our clients to be able to do so." - Linzy Bonham

Start Feeling Calm and Confident About Your Group Practice Finances

Feeling overworked and underpaid in your group practice? You’re not alone.

Get the Free Guide: How to Stop Feeling Overworked & Underpaid in Your Group Practice

Many of my students who identify as female also find themselves in a breadwinner role, which I'm going to say is probably not statistically the norm in general society, that the female partner of a hetero couple is the breadwinner. While this shift in dynamics is not only familiar to me, and a positive step towards gender equality, it can bring its own set of challenges and complexities. 

Relationships are challenging anyway, but when you add the layer of one person earning the Lionshare of the household income, honest and open communication about responsibilities, expectations, and goals between both partners becomes even more important.  

Another breadwinning therapist, Maegan Megginson, joins me today to help discuss being the female breadwinner and provide an additional behind-the-scenes perspective on how a couple might navigate a relationship where partners contribute differently.  

(00:03:15) Navigating Unequal Financial Responsibilities in Relationships 

(00:17:08) Imbalanced Financial Contributions in Romantic Partnerships 

(00:19:49) Recognizing the Richness of Non-Monetary Contributions 

(00:30:26) Imbalance in Relationship Responsibilities: Causes and Solutions 

(00:41:01) Equitable Dynamics in Breadwinning Relationships 

(00:41:01) Navigating Relationship Dynamics as Breadwinner 

(00:41:39) Financial Equity and Communication in Relationships 

(00:41:39) Navigating Financial Management as the Primary Earner 

Acknowledging both financial and non-financial contributions helps to create a sense of equity and balance in the relationship. It reinforces the idea that each partner's role is valued and important, regardless of who earns more money. 

When we're thinking in terms of our families, the question is, how do we create space in our families and our primary relationships to be so radically honest about who we are at our core? Because the more honest I can be with myself and with my partner and the more honest he can be with me about who he is, the easier it becomes for us to navigate our relationship. 

Even if one partner is the main breadwinner, it's crucial to share responsibilities in other aspects of the relationship, such as household chores, childcare, and decision-making. This helps to create a sense of equality and balance in the partnership. 

(00:31:02) "I think when two people have explicitly negotiated, here's who's going to make the money, and here's what the other person's going to be doing. That's healthy, right? That's strong. That's solid." - Maegan Megginson 

• Begin having conversations with your partner about financial AND non-financial contributions to the relationship, aiming for both partners to feel valued, heard, and respected for their contributions. 
• If you find yourself shouldering the emotional and/or financial burden, acknowledge this imbalance and address it with your partner. Avoid staying in a situation that is draining you.  
• If you’ve unexpectedly become the breadwinner, view it as an opportunity to learn new financial skills. Take the initiative to educate yourself on managing money effectively for your household. 
• Remember that financial contributions are just one aspect of the relationship. Acknowledge and appreciate all forms of contributions, including non-monetary ones that support the healthy function of your household.

Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to have an aura of positivity surrounding them? They exude high-vibe energy that draws others in and seems to attract positive outcomes effortlessly. But what exactly is high-vibe energy, and how can you harness it to improve your own life and well-being? 

While I typically stick to more tactile, practical, or even straightforward financial topics to help you grow your practice, there is something to be said about the internal energy you feel as you approach your day and every task within it.  

Welcome to this week’s episode swap with Nicole McCance! She’s the perfect mentor to help you adopt some high-vibe energy in your practice.  

(00:09:26) Achieving Goals Through High Vibe Mental Practices 

(00:11:42) Using a Daily Gratitude Practice to Elevate Vibrations 

(00:13:02) Energizing Mindset Shifts for Business Owners 

(00:19:58) Generating Income with Positive Energy 

(00:21:17) Creating Your Own Luck by Taking Proactive Action 

(00:25:09) Attracting what You Want with Positive Energy Alignment 

Feeling meh about writing that email? It will garner a meh response. Genuinely excited about a new offer or event? The folks you talk to about it will be excited too! Your energy is contagious in this way and affects everything you do and everyone you contact.  

Nicole McCance, host of The Business Savvy Therapist podcast, is a firm believer in the transformative power of high vibrational energy, and in this special swap episode, teaches you how to use energy, attitude, and mindset to achieve success. 

In comparing gratitude to tuning into a radio station, Nicole illustrates how those listening are impacted by the positivity, and discusses how maintaining a high vibe can manifest goals and experiences through positivity and optimism. She highlights that true wealth includes more than just material possessions, encompassing love, health, and vitality, and stresses the link between luck and opportunity, advocating for proactive action to enhance luck.  

Listen in to learn:  

• How to shift your mindset into positivity 
• What to say or ask yourself to spark energy 
• How to take action toward creating your own luck 

(00:11:23) "Once you get the magic, there's going to be someone on indeed that reads your job posting or, or lands on your website or sees your Google Ad and there's going to be just something about that ad that feels different and they pick you." - Nicole McCance 

If money is energy, what positive thoughts, feelings, or actions can you contribute to your week, day, or month, with the understanding that reciprocity is in the works and likely in n your favor?

How can you feel better prepared for the financial curveballs life can throw your way?

In this episode, I’m joined once again by certified financial planner Dave Frank to talk about one of the most fundamental, and often overlooked, aspects of financial wellness: buffers. We dive into the emotional and practical sides of creating buffers in your business and personal life, and why this matters more than ever in a world that’s increasingly uncertain. From navigating economic instability to finding the right balance between saving and living, this conversation is full of practical tips to help you feel more prepared.

Dave and I also unpack the emotional challenges many therapists face when trying to use the resources they’ve set aside, and we share how rethinking your language can shift your relationship with saving. Whether you're just starting to think about buffers or you're reassessing your current systems, this episode offers tools and insights to help you build a more resilient financial foundation.

What does freedom really look like when you’re self-employed?

In this episode, I’m joined by our incredible course coach Diane Webber, who is a financial therapist, private practice owner, and part of the Money Skills team. 

Together, we explore the highs and lows of self-employment and reflect on what it takes to build a business that actually supports your life. From midweek trips to Sam’s Club to caregiving for both parents and children, Diane shares what freedom means to her, and how creating spaciousness in your business can make room for what matters most. We also dig into the emotional complexity of building something sustainable: unlearning hustle culture, trusting that rest is productive, and embracing the discomfort of doing things differently. 

Our conversation is a powerful reminder that private practice doesn’t have to follow a traditional mold. And the more you lean into what works for you, the more aligned and resilient your business can become.

What does it really mean to be free in your business, and in your life?

In this episode, I talk with Jelisha Gatling, therapist and business coach, about the bold and brave steps she took to create the life she truly wanted. From leaving a group practice and starting over in private practice to moving abroad and unlearning the hustle culture she grew up in, Jelisha shares how she has found clarity in what freedom actually meant for her, and how she built a business to support it.

Jelisha and I talk about how therapists can shift from seeking stability to designing a life of simplicity, alignment, and joy. Jelisha’s story is a reminder that living the life you want often means letting go of perfectionism, questioning your assumptions, and allowing yourself to do it scared.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of overworking or “waiting until you're ready,” this conversation will inspire you to take action—before you feel 100% prepared.

We talk about how to start with your values and vision, and then build a plan to back into those dreams using both emotional awareness and clear financial strategy. James shares a practical framework for allocating your income (his 20/60/20 rule), and we also talk about the emotional weight of debt, managing motivation, and teaching kids how to understand and use money.

How do we protect the future of our profession in a rapidly evolving mental health landscape?

In today’s episode, I sit down with Matt Cohen, founder of PlaySpace Health, who brings a unique perspective from the world of business and innovation into the therapy room. Matt shares how his company is helping therapists reimagine engagement with young and neurodivergent clients, both virtually and in person, and what it means to build tools that truly serve therapists’ needs. But our conversation doesn’t stop there.

Together, Matt and I explore the rise of venture capital in the mental health space and why therapists often get caught in the middle of business models that weren’t built with us in mind. We talk about the undervaluing of therapists’ work, the structural challenges baked into the system, and how we can step into our power as professionals, both individually and collectively.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between your clinical values and the way therapy is being shaped by outside forces, this episode will leave you thinking about what’s possible when we choose to be term-setters instead of term-takers.

Are you caught in the loop of thinking you need to learn just a little more before you take action — or feeling totally stuck when it comes to choosing the right tools for your practice?

In this full-length Feelings and Finances episode, I’m answering two powerful questions from therapists working through real-life challenges. Edgar, a Money Skills for Therapists grad, shares their story of moving from insurance to a successful cash-pay practice — and now wondering how to balance learning with doing, and how to stay grounded while being a self-advocate as a queer therapist of color. Rachel, who’s new to private practice, opens up about the overwhelm of deciding which services are worth paying for — from billing support to HIPAA-compliant email tools — all while managing ADHD and a full client load. 

I dig into how to figure out the real emotional cost of certain business tasks, how to recognize when it’s time to stop gathering information and start taking action, and how to make spending choices that truly fit your brain and your values. If you’re wrestling with questions around growth, capacity, and trusting yourself in business, this episode is for you.
