In this episode, I spoke with Sara Stanizai, a remarkable speaker, coach, licensed therapist, and the founder of Prospect Therapy, a queer- and trans-affirming practice, that serves first-generation American and immigrant communities, about identity work, group practice challenges, and the journey of personal and professional growth
3 key takeaways:
Embracing Identity in Therapy: It’s crucial to integrate our own lived experiences and identities in the therapeutic process. Sara emphasizes that it's important to disclose thoughtfully to build relatability and safety with clients.
Challenges and Rewards of Group Practice: Running a group practice involves more complexity and responsibility than a solo practice. It's essential to understand the dynamics and be prepared for the challenges of leadership and mentorship.
Constant Learning and Adaptation: Sara discusses how important it is for therapists to continually unlearn and relearn concepts as they grow professionally. This includes challenging ingrained stereotypes and biases to better serve their clients and themselves.

In this episode, I talked with Dr. Corey Wilks, a licensed clinical psychologist and executive coach, about aligning life achievements with personal values and some of the unique challenges neurodivergent entrepreneurs face, particularly those with ADHD.
3 Key Takeaways:
Align with Your Core Values: Corey emphasizes the importance of ensuring your life's work and business are aligned with your core values. This approach reduces regret and fosters genuine fulfillment. Remember the Stoic concept of "Memento Mori" – using the awareness of life's finitude to inspire living fully.
Turn Someday into Today: Instead of procrastinating and waiting for the "right time," start acting on your aspirations now. We discussed the necessity of transforming "someday" goals into actions, integrating values-aligned decisions into both life and work.
Leverage Procrastination Positively: Don't let perfectionism or analysis paralysis stop you. Reframe procrastination as a strength to generate pressure and meet deadlines efficiently. Use strategies like preselling to validate ideas and create accountability, ensuring you're working on projects with real market interest.
More about Corey:
Dr. Corey Wilks is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Executive Coach who helps the top entrepreneurs in the world clarify what matters, overcome limiting beliefs, and build a values-aligned life and business. His work explores the psychology of success and what gets in our way. He also shares these insights in his weekly newsletter, which you can check out at coreywilkspsyd.com.

In this episode, I talk with Michael Fulwiler, Director of Brand at Heard, about the financial challenges therapists face in private practice and how to overcome them.
Here are 3 key takeaways:
Understanding Insurance's Impact: Insurance companies keep therapists in the dark about reimbursement rates, leading to financial uncertainty and an average of 25% lower earnings compared to out-of-network providers.
Strategies for Financial Growth: It's essential for therapists to set fees based on personal financial needs rather than industry benchmarks. Confidence and strategic fee management can alleviate financial strain and improve practice sustainability.
Embrace Financial Support: Outsourcing financial management tasks can save precious time and reduce stress. Utilizing services like Heard can streamline bookkeeping, tax estimations, and filing, allowing therapists to focus on their core mission.
It's time to break the taboo around money in private practice and empower therapists to build sustainable, thriving businesses.
More about Michael:
Michael Fulwiler is the Director of Brand at Heard, the financial back office for therapists, and the host of Heard Business School, a new show for therapists building their own businesses. He’s also the creator of Therapy Marketer, a popular newsletter for therapists. Previously, he was the Chief Marketing Officer at the Gottman Institute.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angela Koivula, psychologist and adjunct instructor at the University of Florida, about navigating financial realities in the mental health profession and its impact on career decisions.
Key Takeaways:
Financial Planning & Sustainability: Many therapists face significant challenges in planning for retirement due to a lack of resources and knowledge about financial management in the mental health field. The constant need for marketing and client acquisition adds to the financial pressure, making self-care days seem like a luxury.
Private Practice Realities vs. Perceptions: The perceived glamour in private practice marketing often hides the tough realities. Many professionals feel conflicted between their values and the demands of running a successful practice. Angela shares her journey of shifting focus during the pandemic, finding lucrative contract work, and educating herself on financial independence to secure a more stable career path.
Systemic Issues & Solutions: The mental health profession is fraught with systemic issues like high student debt and low entry-level wages, making the field unsustainable for many. Angela argues for the need to re-evaluate career paths, customize work schedules for better work-life balance, and prioritize debt reduction for true financial freedom.

Group therapy services are a great option for therapists who want to diversify their practice and enhance client connection.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brittany Bate, owner of Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting, about the ins and outs of running successful therapy groups. Brittany shares her extensive experience and offers insightful tips for therapists who want to incorporate group therapy into their practice.
3 Key Takeaways:
Consistency in Marketing is Crucial: Don't shy away from posting multiple times across various platforms and track your marketing efforts. Remember, people need to see something multiple times before they take action.
Know Your Audience and Needs: Focus on timely group topics that meet current demands, and you can analyze your client caseload and community discussions for ideas.
Benefits for Clinicians and Clients: Group therapy offers more accessible options for clients and diversifies clinician workload to break the monotony of 1-on-1 sessions. Remember to establish clear structures for therapeutic and financial efficacy.
Brittany’s insights are great for anyone looking to expand their practice offerings and bring clients together in meaningful ways.
About Brittany:
Dr. Brittany Bate is a licensed psychologist and owner of Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting, a medium-sized North Carolina-based, private-pay, multidisciplinary virtual group practice.

In this episode, Dr. Shauna Pollard and I had a dynamic discussion on navigating life and career through the lens of ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities.
Here are three key takeaways:
Embracing Neurodivergence in Business: We shared how openly disclosing our neurodivergent identities has not only helped us embrace who we are but has also made clients with similar characteristics feel more comfortable seeking therapy.
Importance of Community and Support: Dr. Pollard's coaching programs and consultation groups for BIPOC ADHD entrepreneurs highlight the crucial need for community support. These groups offer a platform for participants nationwide to connect and discuss essential topics like finances, practice-building, and resources.
Navigating the Challenges of Entrepreneurship with ADHD: Entrepreneurship requires balancing numerous ideas and managing expectations, a challenge magnified for those with ADHD. It's important to temper energy to prevent burnout and diversify interests to sustain longevity in practice.

In this episode, Maureen Werrbach, the owner and founder of The Group Practice Exchange, and I discuss how being autistic and ADHD shapes our leadership styles, the challenges and unique strengths that come with being neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and the ripple effect of being authentic, from creating safe work environments to fostering creativity among teams.
Key Takeaways:
Understanding Neurodivergent Traits: Embrace the unique strengths and challenges that come with being neurodivergent and how it shapes leadership and entrepreneurship.
Creating Inclusive Work Environments: Learn how openly sharing neurodivergent traits can lead to more accommodating and supportive workplaces that boost overall team success.
Authenticity in Business: Realize the power of showing up authentically in your professional life, and how it can create a positive impact on both your business and audience.
About Maureen:
Maureen developed her coaching program, The Group Practice Exchange, based not only on her own experience with starting her private practice but also growing it into a successful group practice.
She spent countless hours researching how to start a private practice (the legal and procedural steps) and then many more hours learning how to grow it into a group (again trying to figure out the appropriate steps). Through trial and error, she learned what works and what doesn’t in running a counseling group practice.
Maureen thoroughly enjoy helping clinicians become confident and organized group practice business owners.

In this episode, I spoke with Monica Leblanc, a seasoned therapist, coach, freelance writer, and Enneagram teacher, as she shared insights from her journey, particularly around her recent ADHD diagnosis and the importance of loving past versions of ourselves to stay present.
Key Takeaways:
Compassion for Past Selves: Monica highlights the need for compassion when reflecting on past versions of ourselves. This is especially relevant for those with late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, like ADHD, where understanding and compassion for "past parts" are crucial for healing.
Impact of Medication: Both Monica and I discussed the stigma surrounding medication for neurodivergent individuals. Monica spoke openly about how medication has transformed her executive functioning and brought clarity and progress in her work and daily life.
Authenticity and Alignment: Monica shared her journey from feeling like a "hot mess" in business to finding alignment in her personal and professional life. Her story underlines the value of authenticity and re-parenting one's inner child to create a successful, meaningful career.
More about Monica:
Monica is a therapist, coach, freelance writer, and enneagram teacher. Based out of Asheville, NC, she sees clients in her boutique therapy practice who want more connected relationships with themselves and their dear ones. She uses a combination of parts work (Internal family systems), the enneagram, and dynamic attachment repatterning experiencing (DARE) to help recovering people pleasers alchemize their pain into purpose and meaning and create alignment in their choices.
Read her full bio here: atppod.com/151
The HELD retreat is September 13–15, 2024 in Old Fort, NC. AN ENTIRE WEEKEND of attachment work, nature immersion and experiences, cozy yoga, nourishing meals, experiential parts work, and therapeutic creative practices.

In this episode, I talk with Michael Michalowicz, an innovative entrepreneur, renowned author, and speaker. Michael delves into several insightful topics, from financial transparency to creating a culture of psychological ownership in the workplace.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone passionate about organized growth, this episode is packed with actionable advice and wisdom.
Here are three key takeaways:
Shift from Titles to Roles: Transitioning from a traditional pyramid structure to a web-like organizational setup allows for greater flexibility, and matching talent to tasks, instead of sticking to rigid titles, fosters internal growth and tailored professional support.
Financial Transparency & Security: Fiscal transparency impacts the employer-employee relationship positively, creating an equitable environment. Providing benefits like health insurance and 401ks meets employees' present and future needs, enhancing their sense of safety and security.
Cultivating Psychological Ownership: Empowering employees with control, personalization, and intimate knowledge deepens their commitment to the organization. This ownership transforms culture, boosts loyalty, and reduces onboarding costs.
More about Mike:
By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ (pronounced mi-‘kal-o-wits) had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies.
Confident that he had the formula to success, he became a small business angel investor… and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Mike has devoted his life to the research and delivery of innovative, impactful entrepreneurial strategies to you.

In this episode, I spoke with my good friend Shaelene Kite, a counselor, DBT-trained therapist, and yoga instructor based in New Jersey. We dove deep into the topic of creating a membership site as an alternative income stream for therapists.
Shaelene shared valuable insights from her experience founding the Rebel Minds Learning Collective, a DBT training membership site aimed at providing community, affordable training, and evolving the modality.
Here are three key takeaways:
Support & Community are Essential: Training alone isn't enough. Therapists need continuous support and community to avoid feelings of isolation and imposter syndrome. A membership site can offer consistent, accessible guidance.
Making Training Accessible: The high costs associated with advanced training limit accessibility to continued learning, but creating an affordable membership option offers access to high-quality DBT training and ongoing education, ensuring therapists can pursue further learning without breaking the bank.
Evolving Practices: It's crucial for therapeutic modalities to evolve with the times. Shaelene highlighted the importance of adapting DBT to be more inclusive, anti-racist, and responsive to the needs of neurodivergent clients.

In this episode, I talk with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani about her journey, the importance of understanding our own needs for emotional regulation, and some very exciting plans for our co-hosted Neurodivergent Burnout Retreat in Belize.

Understand Your Nervous System: Gabrielle shared her experience of learning about polyvagal theory. She discovered the profound impact the nervous system has on emotional regulation, a critical step in avoiding burnout.
Create Authentic Spaces: We discussed the importance of creating environments where neurodivergent individuals can be themselves without the pressure to conform. These spaces foster authenticity, emotional safety, and genuine connections.
Retreat Experience in Belize: Gabrielle and I are planning a neurodivergent retreat in San Ignacio, Belize, in January 2025. This immersive cultural experience aims to provide a relaxing and supportive environment amidst beautiful nature, holistic healing practices, and the serene pace of life.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Hogan and I discuss neurodivergent affirming assessments and the necessity for accessible, empathetic support for neurodivergent individuals.
Key takeaways:
The Paradigm Shift in Neurodivergence Awareness: Dr. Hogan emphasizes the importance of ongoing work for neurotypical clinicians to be affirming, addressing internalized ableism, and fostering a paradigm shift in understanding and accommodating neurodivergent individuals.
Challenges and Visibility in the Workplace: We discuss the increasing visibility of neurodivergent and autistic clinicians and the hurdles they face in disclosing their neurodivergence. Authenticity, cultural competence, and collaboration are crucial for effective assessments and building trust with clients.
Empowering Self-Diagnosis and Community Inclusion: Social media platforms are revolutionizing the way individuals relate to their neurodivergence, promoting self-discovery, and encouraging self-diagnosis. Dr. Hogan advocates for joining the neurodivergent community and seeking validation, without always requiring formal assessments.
More about Jessica:
Dr. Hogan (or Jess, whatever) is an auDHD licensed clinical psychologist in Minnesota and California, where she owns her own practice. She oversees a neuroaffirming assessment training program for doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. With over 15 years of experience working with autistic individuals, she has been conducting autism and ADHD assessments for over a decade. Additionally, Dr. Hogan teaches psychodiagnostic assessment in a clinical PsyD program and serves as the principal investigator on a research project examining the experiences of autistic therapists. Her special interests include neurodiversity-affirming care, true crime, reading, and circus arts.
