What would happen if you committed to 30 days of action designed not just to sharpen your business, but to renew your mindset, balance, and energy as a therapist? In this episode, I introduce my spin on the popular 75 Hard challenge—tailored specifically for therapists who are juggling private practice, family life, and self-care. Instead of focusing on fitness and aesthetics, this challenge is about sustainable habits that strengthen your business, mindset, and overall well-being.

I’ll walk you through the framework of this challenge, breaking down the eight criteria that will help you finish the year strong and how these simple yet powerful commitments can transform the way you show up for your practice and yourself.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

• 2:18 - Why this challenge is 30 days instead of 75

• 4:59 - The first step every therapist needs to take for lasting motivation

• 9:10 - How to reframe your marketing into manageable weekly blocks

• 10:16 - The surprising journaling practice that rewires your mindset

• 13:57 - A simple meditation routine that makes a big difference

• 15:14 - The KPI habit that shifts you into CEO mode

• 16:33 - How to “bookend” your week with Marketing Mondays and Financial Fridays

• 18:02 - Why doing one thing that scares you weekly may be the biggest growth tool

Do you ever feel like grad school prepared you to be a therapist—but not to run a private practice?

In this episode, I sit down with Kate and Alyssa, who are best friends, business partners, and alumnae of my Scale Up Mastermind. These two powerhouse therapists went from subleasing offices to building a full-blown online coaching program for therapists ready to leave agency work and launch their own practice. We talk candidly about everything from figuring out their niche to building a product from scratch, all while navigating life changes like honeymoons and pregnancies. If you’ve ever felt unprepared for the business side of therapy, this one is a must-listen.

Kate and Alyssa get real about what it actually takes to launch a group coaching program while still running a full caseload. We unpack their decision to build “Sh*t They Didn’t Teach You in Grad School,” how they found their first clients, and why community is the glue that holds it all together. Whether you're in the dreaming phase or prepping your own launch, you'll learn what it takes (and what to avoid) when creating a new income stream as a therapist.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

• 1:13 - The overlooked business model no one teaches therapists

• 3:25 - How their casual advice to friends turned into a real offer

• 5:44 - Why group coaching helped them scale with less burnout
