  • 105: Transitioning from Private Practitioner to CEO

    Welcome! My guest today is Jennifer Cobb, LCSW in Greensboro, NC. Our topic is one I’ve pondered for awhile. It’s the transition from solo practice to group practice; in other words, how do you make the transition to a private practitioner to acting as a CEO and managing multiple clinicians?  Jennifer has done this successfully and now manages three clinicians in her practice, Guilford Counseling. Let’s talk to Jennifer about the pros and cons of such a move. Join us!

  • 97: 5 Benefits of Napping

    Welcome to session 97—a solo episode! Today we are talking about the benefits of naps. There is so much evidence about the positive effects of naps, and I’ve experienced these firsthand. I regularly take a 25 minute nap EVERY day, and I’ve done this for several years! Unfortunately, there is a stigma around adult naps, like naps are for lazy, non-productive people or just for young kids and the elderly. Many successful people in history have extolled the benefits of naps, like Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Salvador Dali. (Isn’t that an impressive list?) Join me now as I share what I’ve learned on my personal journey as a diehard adult napper.
