In this episode, I talk about the importance of celebration in private practice, especially around the holidays, and how it can feel surprisingly different when you're working on your own. Without a team or office culture, those built-in moments of recognition, shared joy, and year-end closure often fall away. And when you're the one running the show, it's easy to skip over celebration entirely in favour of just pushing through.

I share why intentionally making space to celebrate your wins, your growth, your clients, and your effort is not just meaningful, but essential. Whether it's closing out the year with reflection, marking a milestone in your business, or simply pausing to acknowledge how far you've come, these moments help bring purpose, balance, and joy to your work.

The Helpers Podcast is all about personal growth/mindset and is also a great tool for those looking at new ways to think/be or do.

In this episode, I chat all about my experience doing the 75 Hard Challenge.

In this episode, I talk about fear in private practice - how it shows up, why it's so common, and what we can do about it. Whether it's fear of failure, fear of not having enough clients, fear of visibility, or even fear of success, these emotions often sit quietly beneath the surface and influence the way we make decisions in our businesses.

If you've ever felt stuck, second-guessed your choices, or wondered if you're the only one struggling with self-doubt, this episode is here to remind you that fear is normal, and it doesn't have to be the driver of your business.

In this episode, I chat about a topic that often feels loaded but necessary: the truths about money in private practice. From pricing your services to navigating income fluctuations, managing expenses, and dealing with the emotional weight of charging for care, it's all part of the reality of running a practice.

I share some of the common money myths that can hold us back (like the idea that helping others and making money are somehow incompatible) and talk openly about the challenges many practitioners face when it comes to financial stability, self-worth, and sustainability.

This episode is about normalizing the financial side of private practice, breaking down the guilt or shame that can surround it, and encouraging a more honest, empowered relationship with money. Because the truth is: your practice needs to be financially healthy in order to serve others, and you deserve to be supported in the process.

In this episode, I talk all about what it's like to be an ADHD social worker in private practice. From the challenges to the strengths, I share my personal experience navigating business ownership, client care, and daily routines with an ADHD brain.

I also offer some practical strategies that have helped me stay grounded and organized, while still honouring the way my brain works. Whether you have ADHD yourself, suspect you might, or just want a deeper understanding of how neurodivergence can impact practice, this episode is an honest and validating look at what it means to build a business that works with your brain, not against it.

In this episode, I talk about a message that so many of us need to hear—you don't need to know it all. In private practice (and life), there can be a lot of pressure to have all the answers, to always feel competent, confident, and in control. But the truth is, none of us have it all figured out, and that's okay.

If you've ever felt imposter syndrome creeping in, or like you can't move forward until you "figure it all out," this episode is your reminder that being human—and being honest about where you are—is more than enough.

In this episode, I talk about my why… the reason I started my private practice, what keeps me going, and the deeper purpose that guides the work I do. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks of running a business, but coming back to your "why" can be a powerful reminder of what really matters.

In this episode, I talk about loneliness in private practice—an experience that's more common than we often admit. While working for yourself can bring freedom and flexibility, it can also feel incredibly isolating at times. Without coworkers to chat with, team meetings, or built-in support systems, many practitioners find themselves navigating the day-to-day alone.

If you've ever felt disconnected or missed having someone to share the everyday moments with, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone—and that there are ways to find support and connection, even in solo practice.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of checking your mindset because how you think about your work, your worth, and your capacity can shape everything in your private practice. Our mindset influences the decisions we make, the risks we take, and the way we respond to challenges or setbacks.

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your path, this episode is a gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and realign your thinking so it supports—not sabotages—your goals and your wellbeing.

In this episode, I talk all about marketing in private practice—what it is, why it matters, and how to approach it in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. Marketing doesn't have to mean being pushy, salesy, or showing up everywhere all the time. At its core, marketing is simply about communicating who you are, what you do, and how you can help.
