About this listen

You were trained to stay quiet. To follow rules written for a world that no longer exists. To accept that your expertise should be sanitized into beige compliance.

But what if everything you've been told about "staying safe" is actually keeping you small?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I pull back the curtain on what happened after my viral LinkedIn post broke the internet — and more importantly, what it revealed about the quiet revolution already happening in mental health.

When therapists get investigated for posting anxiety tips while unqualified influencers sell $2,000 "trauma healing" courses, something is deeply broken. But buried in the 1,000+ shares and hundreds of comments was proof that change isn't coming, it's already here.

If you've ever felt like the system is working against you instead of for you, this episode will show you exactly how to be part of the solution.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The 3am truth that sparked a viral movement (and what 1,000 shares really revealed)
  • Why therapists are uniquely positioned to lead the mental health revolution
  • The three types of quiet revolutionaries already changing the system from within
  • Pattern #1: The Permission-Takers — how to stop asking "am I allowed?" and start asking "how do I do this safely?"
  • Pattern #2: The System Hackers — reframing your expertise to work within (and around) outdated regulations
  • Pattern #3: The Bridge-Builders — creating solutions for communities the system has forgotten
  • Three small actions you can take TODAY to join the revolution (no committee approval required)

The Three Revolutionary Actions:

  1. Ask Better Supervision Questions — Transform compliance theater into collaborative courage labs
  2. Rewrite One Tiny Policy — Reclaim your authority to create policies that actually serve humans
  3. Break the Silence — Name system failures when they harm your clients (it's not unprofessional, it's honest)

Bottom Line: The revolution isn't happening in boardrooms or policy committees. It's happening with practitioners who care more about impact than approval. Who choose to be first, not perfect.
