Abundant Practice Podcast

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and y'all, we are getting into something that doesn't get talked about enough: what happens when your practice is full and successful and you still feel totally boxed in. We dig into why hitting your goals can start to feel more like a trap than a win, and what you can actually do about it without torching everything you've built. If you've been quietly wondering why the thing you worked so hard for just doesn't feel that good anymore, this episode is going to give you some answers.

Special guest Amber Lyda, Psy.D., joins me in today's episode to explore how therapists can optimize their websites for AI search engines—covering the three key steps of elimination, grouping, and matching—so you show up when potential clients use AI to find care. She discusses how to create effective bridge copy, incorporate credibility elements, and leverage video content to enhance your visibility, plus what the evolving landscape of AI in healthcare marketing means for your practice. With 85% of Americans now using AI to find healthcare providers, this is an episode worth tuning into.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the exhausting math of a practice that requires you to keep showing up at full speed just to stay afloat. You're tired, you miss your life, but every time you think about cutting back, the fear of losing income stops you cold. We get into why that fear is actually a sign something needs to change, and how to work less without blowing up everything you've built. If you've been telling yourself you'll slow down eventually, this episode is going to light a fire. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the thing nobody warns you about: the longer you're in practice, the harder it can get. We dig into why a full caseload and steady income can still leave you feeling like you're slowly being buried, and what it actually takes to build something you can stay in without losing yourself. If you've been grinding through it and hoping it evens out eventually, this one is going to hit. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're getting into something a lot of therapists feel but won't admit: the practice you built to give you freedom might be the thing trapping you. We get into the rhythms, the systems, and the hard truth about why being a great therapist doesn't automatically make you great at running a practice. If you've been feeling the weight, losing the energy, and wondering how much longer you can keep doing it this way, this episode is for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Sean Hershey, LCSW, joins me today to share how chronic pain is often shaped by emotional repression, psychological patterns, and disconnection from one's authentic self. He discusses why focusing only on physical symptoms can miss the deeper drivers of pain, and how therapists can play a key role in helping clients find real, lasting relief. Sean also provides insights from his own healing journey and offers practical ways to integrate this approach into your clinical work. PS: Sean is our Abundance Party trainer this month.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW, and we are getting into something a lot of therapists are quietly struggling with: Can you actually build a values-driven, socially just practice and still make real money? We tackle the guilt, the math, and the hard truth about why good intentions alone will burn you out. If you've been wrestling with sliding scales, equitable fees, or wondering if wanting financial stability means you're selling out, this episode will change how you think about all of it. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.

I chat with Abundance Community member Lisa, a therapist who just completed her trauma and money certification and is in the early stages of building out a niche around financial trauma. Together, we get specific about who this ideal client actually is: the woman who's doing all the right things on paper, has enough in her account, and still panics every time she opens her banking app. We cover how to position this work to financial planners, why a warm introduction beats cold outreach every time, and how to craft messaging that actually resonates with someone who's embarrassed to admit that money still scares them. Quick heads up: there are a few moments in this episode that may be a little harder to catch. If you miss anything, a full transcript is included so you can follow along.
