Feeling completely overwhelmed by private practice? Whether you’re just getting started or stuck with marketing your existing therapy practice, this episode is your gentle nudge to take action - one tiny step at a time.

Josephine shares her own story of paralysis when starting out, and how the idea of a minimum viable product helped her move forward without needing everything to be perfect. You'll learn how to break down daunting tasks, how to get motivated with small wins, and why starting scrappy is better than not starting at all.

Takeaways:

• Why overwhelm happens and what to do about it
• The myth of needing a “perfect” website, logo, or strategy
• The concept of minimum viable product and how it applies to private practice
• How to break down big tasks like updating your directory profile
• The power of 15-minute timers and the Pomodoro method
• Real-life examples of starting small - from directory entries to social media posts
• Why progress, not perfection, is the key to growth

If private practice feels too big or too much, you’re not alone - and it doesn’t have to stay that way.
