You've seen the posts. The ads. The "six-figure coach" promises.

And you're thinking:

"Is this legit… or am I about to get scammed?"

You're not alone. Every week, Tiffany talks to therapists who are terrified of wasting money on a business program that doesn't deliver. But here's the truth: you're asking the wrong question.

In this episode, Tiffany flips the script on how to evaluate whether a business program is worth your investment—and she calls out the therapist tendency to hide behind "skepticism" when what's really happening is fear.

If you've ever wondered, "Will this actually work for me?"—this episode will change how you think about investing, success, and what it means to bet on yourself.

In this episode, Tiffany reveals:

• The three green flags that prove a business program is legitimate;

• Why asking about "success rates" keeps you small (and broke);

• The mindset shift that separates thriving entrepreneurs from overworked therapists;

• How to vet a program like a CEO instead of a scared consumer;

• Why averages don't matter—and how to become one of the extraordinary few who make it.

This isn't about avoiding risk. It's about learning how to take powerful, informed, self-led risks that lead to real transformation.

If you've been hovering on the edge—too skeptical to leap, too tired to stay stuck—this episode will wake you up.

From seeing 24 clients a week on Medi-Cal to working 12-14 hours at $250 per session — Sara Champie's story is the revolution therapists need to hear.

As a primary breadwinner, Sara used to believe she had to grind herself to dust to prove she cared. But when resentment, exhaustion, and rage began to spill into her marriage and motherhood, she realized: staying small wasn't noble — it was self-betrayal.

Through her LIMB journey, Sara broke free from the "helper martyr" trap, raised her fees, and reclaimed her family's future.

In this episode, Sara shares:

• How she traded burnout for balance and doubled her income

• The real cost of low fees on her marriage and her children

• What she discovered about justice and privilege after raising her rates

• How her somatic, trauma-focused work deepened once she stopped hustling

• The breakthrough that helped her set a $350 goal and mean it

You say you want to make more money. You say you want freedom. You say you want to stop taking insurance and finally charge what you're worth.

But you don't. You keep yourself broke.

In this raw and deeply honest episode, Tiffany unpacks the truth most therapists never want to face: being broke isn't your problem—it's your solution.

When your bank account is empty, you don't have to take risks. You don't have to be visible. You don't have to disappoint anyone. Staying broke is the subconscious way so many therapists keep themselves safe.

But it's also what's keeping you small, resentful, and exhausted.

In this episode, Tiffany reveals:

• Why staying underpaid feels safer than raising your fee;

• How being broke protects you from rejection, shame, and exposure;

• The unconscious patterns that keep you sabotaging your success;

• What happens when you finally make enough money to meet yourself—and why that's the real work;

• The first steps to breaking free from the burnout–scarcity loop for good.

If you've ever said, "I don't care that much about money," this episode will show you what that statement is really costing you.

It's time to stop using scarcity as safety and start building a business that actually takes care of you.

• How she built a private practice as one of only two known peer counselors in the U.S.

• The bold leap from $45 to $185 — and what it taught her about worth

• How she helps athletes heal from "R.E.D.S." (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome)

This is your unpopular opinion alert—but someone needs to say it.

If you're taking insurance or charging low fees that don't allow you to pay your bills, take care of your kids, and save for retirement, your practice is out of integrity.

You're modeling a lie—both to your clients and to yourself.

In this fiery, no-fluff episode, Tiffany dismantles the illusion that therapists can do high-quality, transformative work while chronically undercharging. She shows you exactly how low fees erode your integrity, deplete your energy, and keep the entire field stuck in burnout and self-sacrifice.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why low fees aren't generous—they're dishonest;

• The hidden "subsidy system" keeping therapists broke and exhausted;

• The hard truth about who can actually afford to charge low fees (and why you're probably not one of them);

• How cheap therapy devalues the profession and undermines client transformation;

• The financial and emotional red flags that prove your fees are too low.

If your clients are changing—but you're the one deteriorating—it's time to face what that says about your business model.

Integrity starts with truth—and truth starts with charging enough to live.

She'll walk you through how to raise your fees, reclaim your integrity, and build a practice that honors your worth—without apology.

After helping build a 12-clinician nonprofit from the ground up, Angelina Miceli, LCSW, realized she'd built everything — except her own joy.

She was burnt out, resentful, and quietly crumbling. In 2024, she joined LIMB, left her director role, and went all in on private practice. Today, she's charging $275 per session and $300 per intake — and loving every minute of it.

If you're scared to leave your "secure" job, Angelina's story is your permission slip.

In this episode, Angelina shares:

• What it felt like to walk away from a leadership role she built from scratch

• Why her "pretend fee" of $150 wasn't serving her or her clients

Therapists love to tell themselves: "I'll figure it out in January." Raise my fees in January. Do my marketing in January. Finally get serious about my business in January.

Here's the truth: by January, it's already too late.

In this urgent episode, Tiffany dismantles the myth of the "new year reset" and shows you why the moves you make this fall will determine your income, stability, and freedom in 2026.

If you're waiting until the calendar flips, you're not planning—you're playing catch-up. And it's costing you everything.

In this episode, Tiffany shares:

• The therapist revenue cycle no one talks about—and why fall is the most important season for your business;

• Dylan's story of turning $3K months into $11K months—and why the turnaround started months before the results showed up;

• The hidden cost of waiting until "things calm down" to raise your fees or get off panels;

• Why later is not safe—later is theft;

• The exact fall steps you need to take to enter 2026 with clarity, ease, and cash flow.

If you're serious about building a premium-fee, cash-pay practice that actually sustains you, the work starts now.

Why "having time" didn't mean having freedom;

The guilt and fear she carried about raising fees on long-term clients;

"Sure, Tiffany—that all sounds great. But is it actually possible? Can any therapist really charge $350 a session and stay full?"

That's the question Tiffany hears over and over again from therapists who are burned out, underpaid, and deeply skeptical that freedom is even possible for them.

And in this fiery episode, Tiffany answers the question directly: YES. It's possible. But only if you're willing to think bigger than the average therapist.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why most therapists stay stuck at "average"—and why you don't have to;

• How to break out of the conditioning that keeps you undercharging and exhausted;

• The surprising truth about what clients actually pay for (hint: it's not worksheets);

• Why premium-fee therapy is not only possible, but necessary for deep, transformational work;

• Tiffany's 3-step roadmap to move from skeptical to fully booked at $300–$500 per session.

If you've been secretly wondering if anyone out there is really doing this—this episode is your answer. And it's your permission to stop playing small.
