223. Prioritizing and Dealing with Overwhelm
Well, hello there! It’s been a while since we talked. Guess what? I completely ignored ALL of my own advice, outlined in exquisite detail on this podcast over the last four years, and got myself 1000% overwhelmed during the last few months.

220. Financial Planning w/ Ariel Ward, CFP
Let’s rewind to four years ago when I was super confused and overwhelmed with the financial aspect of my practice. I knew I needed to be saving for retirement but didn’t know how to balance that need with other financial obligations. Luckily, I got connected with Ariel Ward and her team at Abacus Wealth. She’s here today to walk us through the ins and outs of financial planning and retirement savings for mental health practice owners.

218. Summer Slam #3: Revisit Your Rates
Today’s episode is about revisiting your rates. Theoretically, we should be raising our rates at least once a year, but many of us either forget or run into other hurdles in actually doing so. I’ll talk through how you might raise your rates whether you take insurance or run a private pay practice.

Esther shared a number of meaningful stories and case examples to really bring these principles to life.
216. Summer Slam #2: Revisit Your Battery
For Summer Slam #2, we’re talking about revising your battery. How many of us have been giving the same measures year after year, with little thought to how they work for US or work for the CLIENT? Today, I’m challenging you to dig in and see if your battery is truly what you want it to be.
215. Cognitive Testing for Preschoolers w/ Dr. Stephanie Meyer
Preschool assessment is a relatively untouched topic here on the podcast, but that changes with today’s episode!
