I've been intrigued lately by how frequently I see various business experts and commentators dissuade people from being a solopreneur. So as an entrepreneur with no employees, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts about why I'm a solopreneur. Because frankly, it's been a great fit for me (even if it's not the best fit for everyone).

This episode is inspired by a question from last week's video when someone asked about what differences I experienced as a new therapist compared to now. I thought I'd list out all the changes I've noticed here! What changes have you noticed as you've progressed in your career?

Today we're diving into the topic of therapist isolation. Rather than offer some peppy tips to make friends, I take a deeper dive into some of the reasons (in my opinion) that our field has become so isolating overall. I do have hope that we can make some radical shifts in time that make this a much more supportive, communal, and welcoming field to work in!

We're tackling a big one in this week's episode! There's a misconception that early career therapists and new private practice owners are "supposed" to charge less than those later in their career.

In this episode we tackle some of the common misconceptions I hear about setting our rate in private practice and I offer some of my semi-ranty thoughts about setting fees in the context of our broken healthcare system. Super fun stuff amiright? ;) I hope you find this helpful!

In my opinion, the biggest marketing mistake therapists make is being inauthentic. In this episode, I share how I think inauthenticity negatively impacts our marketing and offer some tools for how to be more authentic across your marketing channels.
