In this energizing episode of Thriving Therapist Talk: Business and Marketing Tips for Therapists, clinical psychologist and coach Nadene Van Der Linden shares a powerful reminder: rest and fun aren't luxuries; they are essential business strategies.

Fresh from a rejuvenating 10-day getaway split between the serene surf town of Margaret River and the vibrant culture of Melbourne, Nadene reflects on how stepping away from the business reignited her creativity, boosted her energy, and clarified her business offers. She dives into the importance of scheduling joy, setting boundaries, and building a business that supports your life rather than drains it.

In this insightful episode of Thriving Therapist Talk, host Nadene Van Der Linden dives into the emotional and strategic challenges therapists face when trying to carve out their niche in a crowded market. She explores the familiar “someone else is doing it too" wobble—that moment of doubt and hesitation—as therapists question whether their ideas are original or valuable enough to stand out.

 Key Themes & Takeaways:

• The Wobble Is Normal: Feeling uncertain about your ideas is a shared experience among therapists. It’s not a sign to stop—it’s a sign to reflect and refine.

• Originality vs. Authenticity: Nadene reminds us that very few ideas are truly new. What matters is how you personalize and deliver them.

• Avoid the ‘Blue Ocean’ Trap: Waiting for a groundbreaking idea can delay your growth. Start with what excites you and evolve it.

• Branding & Engagement: Your unique voice and approach are what differentiate you—not just your niche.

• Amplify Your Expertise: Lean into what you know and love. That’s where profitability and impact meet.

Whether you're launching a new offering or refining an existing one, this episode is a must-listen for therapists seeking clarity, confidence, and a path forward in their business journey.
