What if getting in the right room is the ONE decision that takes you from zero to seven figures? I’ve invested over six figures in mentors, masterminds, and coaches — and I literally just dropped $5K this morning to get in a room with an eight-figure earner. Why? Because proximity isn’t an expense, it’s a multiplier.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what getting in the right room really means (hint: it’s not about celebrity access or one-off events), how to spot the wrong rooms that drain your time and money, and the three ways proximity fast-tracks your business growth.

I’m also sharing my 30-Day Proximity Protocol, so you can start building momentum right now, whether you have $0 or $20K to invest. One of my clients used this framework in a single power hour, made one messaging shift, and booked three consult calls in just seven days. That’s the power of proximity.

So here’s my challenge to you: stop waiting, stop spinning, and get in the right room — now.

Topics covered on Getting in the Right Room:

• What “getting in the right rooms” actually means — and why I still invest even at seven figures
• The three things proximity gives you that you can’t get anywhere else
• How to tell the difference between the right rooms and the wrong ones
• Red flags to look for when choosing mentors and masterminds
• How to know when you’ve outgrown a room (and it’s time to level up)
• My 30-Day Proximity Protocol to start creating momentum today

Is fear quietly keeping you stuck while you believe you’re playing it safe? In today’s episode, I get real about the fears that hold therapists back from growing beyond back-to-back sessions and building the freedom they crave. So many of us think we’re making responsible choices by sticking to what we know, but the truth is, fear is keeping you stuck and costing you more than you realize.

I open up about my own journey, how I went from burnout and a capped income to earning six figures a month. You’ll hear why the “safe” path of sticking only to therapy is actually the riskiest move, and how shifting your mindset can help you scale quickly.

If you’re ready to stop letting fear run your business and start saying yes to more income, freedom, and impact, this episode is for you. Join me for some tough love, honest conversation, and the push you need to finally put fear in the backseat and take the wheel of your business.

Topics covered on Fear Is Keeping You Stuck:

• Why the “safe” option of staying in therapy is actually costing you more than you think.
• What it looks like to work smarter, not harder, as a therapist.
• How you can start making smart investments that actually move your business forward.
• Client success stories of therapists who stopped waiting to feel ready and just decided to go ALL IN.
• How you can collapse timelines and reach your goals faster by changing your strategy.

I stepped away from a multi-million dollar coaching business and came back with completely fresh eyes. So in today's episode, I'm about to share the most exciting announcement I've ever made on this podcast! And trust me, it impacts everything about how I run my business and serve my clients.

After personally coaching over 400 clients and generating over half a million dollars while on maternity leave, I realized something had to change. Not because things weren't working, they were working incredibly well, but because I discovered gaps that were holding my clients back from even faster success. This isn't just another program update. It's a complete evolution that addresses every single frustration I've heard from my clients over the years.

Whether you've been with me since day one or you're just discovering my work, what I'm about to share will completely shift how you think about building your coaching business. I'm even addressing that question my mother-in-law asked me about people copying my work, and my answer might surprise you.

Topics covered on Shutting Down My $4 Million Coaching Business Program:

• Why I’m shutting down a program that's generated millions in revenue in my coaching business,
• How one client crossed the million-dollar mark in under two years using my system.
• Why are other wellness professionals suddenly joining my coaching program?
• What my mother-in-law asked me that made me realize just how different my approach to building a coaching business really is.
• Why giving clients MORE time (7 months instead of 4) actually produced WORSE results.

Are you waiting for referrals to fill your private practice while wondering why it's getting harder every year? The future of marketing for therapists looks nothing like it did in 2010, and if you're not adapting, you're being left behind. In this episode, I'm taking you on a journey from the old days of Psychology Today listings and passive waiting to today's reality where clients expect to see, hear, and connect with you before they ever book a call.

I break down exactly why your static website and referral list won't cut it anymore, and what's actually working right now to attract clients consistently. You'll discover the different types of buyers in today's market, from the silent lurkers who watch you for months to the ones who binge your content and buy immediately. I also address the elephant in the room: why adding coaching to your private practice isn't about abandoning therapy, but about creating freedom and breaking through that income ceiling.

If you've been feeling stuck, invisible, or exhausted from trading dollars for hours, this episode will show you exactly what needs to change and how to position yourself for success in this new era.

I break down exactly why this happens, especially for women in our field, and give you five concrete strategies to handle the hate while you build your sustainable private practice.

Have you ever wondered if $100K months are actually possible for someone like you? I get it. I remember when six-figure months felt completely out of reach for me too. But I've been hitting consistent $100K months for over two years now, and today I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how it happens.

I'm breaking down the 13 specific pillars that took me from eating trail mix in my car between therapy sessions to building a multiple six-figure business with 40-50% profit margins. Plus, I'm celebrating one of my clients who just messaged me about hitting her very first $100K month, and I'm sharing the exact three shifts she made to get there. You'll discover why your messaging matters more than your follower count, how to build a sales team before you think you're ready, and the tracking numbers that actually move the needle.

I'm giving you my proven frameworks, my team structure, and the mindset reframes that made all the difference. This is the real, behind-the-scenes truth about six-figure months. No fluff, just the strategy and systems you need.

Topics covered on How I Built Consistent $100K Months:

• The real mindset shift that separates entrepreneurs making $20K months from those consistently hitting $100K+

Are you being sold a lie about how to build your coaching business as a therapist? I'm calling out the BS I've been seeing online lately, especially from therapists who are literally running coaching programs while telling you coaching doesn't work. Yeah, you heard that right!

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the real pros and cons of every path you're considering: private practice, group practice, intensives, and coaching. I've done them all, and I'm sharing why I walked away from some and doubled down on others. You'll hear my honest take on why intensives are just a bigger chunk of dollars for a bigger chunk of hours (spoiler: still burnout), what really happened when I had clinicians under me, and why a coaching business (when done right) gave me the freedom to voice memo my team while doing tummy time with my baby.

If you're tired of back-to-back sessions draining your energy and capping your income, this episode will give you the clarity you need to decide your next move.

Topics covered on Coaching Business Myths:

• Why therapists with "coach" in their Instagram handles are telling you coaching businesses don't work?
• Is running a group practice actually freedom, or just managing other people's problems?
• Why intensives sound amazing on paper but still leave you drained.
• How you can start a coaching business without fancy funnels, websites, or paid ads.
• The profit margins in my multi-7 figure business.
