Marketing as a therapist can feel deeply uncomfortable — like you're trying to "sell" yourself in a way that doesn’t align with your values. In this episode, I explore why marketing feels gross (especially for therapists), and how to approach it from a more human, authentic place.

We’ll talk about:

• The hidden fears behind showing up authentically

• Why feeling “not special enough” stops so many of us

• Practical shifts to help marketing feel more aligned

If you’ve ever struggled to write your website bio or talk about what you do without cringing, this episode is for you.
