Feeling stuck with long-term goals? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I talk about how to stop spinning out over “growth” and start getting clear. You don't need a five-year plan. You need to know what kind of growth you're after—more income, more time, a new revenue stream? Each one has a different path. Start with your “why,” then break your goal into micro-steps and actually schedule them. What doesn't get scheduled doesn't happen. And remember: ambitious is great, but realistic wins every time.

Jenn Fredette, LPC, MA, M.Div joins me in today's episode to share insights on building passive income as a therapist, emphasizing that while “passive” income is possible, it still requires strategy and effort—especially when it comes to leveraging intellectual property. She introduces a new freebie outlining three scalable income pathways and explores options like group practices and alternative revenue streams. Jenn also highlights the importance of clear client messaging, smart marketing, and the ongoing challenge of balancing clinical work with business growth.

Feel like you're always explaining your non-traditional therapy? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I talk about why you don't need to justify your approach to everyone—and how to connect with the clients it's actually for. Instead of leading with your method, speak to their experience. Talk about the stuckness, the frustration, the sense that talk therapy didn't go deep enough. That's what makes people feel seen—and curious. You don't need to explain everything. You just need to show them you get it.

In today's Ask Allison, I'm answering a question that's on a lot of therapists' minds in 2025: Do I have to offer more services or hustle harder to keep my practice full?   Spoiler: more isn't always better.

Feeling like you're always on? In this week's Ask Allison, I'm diving into one of the biggest struggles entrepreneurs face: how to actually shut off when your brain won't stop spinning with to-dos. If you've ever sat down to relax only to remember an email you didn't send or a task you didn't check off, you're not alone—and you're not failing. We'll talk about why this "I'll relax when it's all done" mindset is a trap, how it's hurting your freedom (yep, the same freedom you started your business for), and what you can do to break the cycle. From taking your work email off your phone to setting boundaries that actually stick, I'm walking you through the real-life strategies that helped me reclaim my time—and my sanity. If you're burning out while chasing inbox zero, this one's for you. Prefer video? This episode is also available to stream on our YouTube channel!
