Podcasts about grad school

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 12:58 - The exact tools they use to keep therapists accountable 16:34 - How their custom income calculator helps therapists finally “do the math” 18:40 - The financial mindset shift therapists desperately need to hear   If you're a therapist tired of piecing together business advice from random corners of the internet, Kate and Alyssa's story will show you what's possible.

Thousands of people start graduate programs every year – and over time, many come to question their choice.  Is the program right for me? Do I have too much going on in my life? Should I keep pursuing my degree – investing my time, energy and sense of my own identity in such a major undertaking? Is it worth it? Or would I be better off leaving?

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I'm opening up about what grad school has really been like—messy, emotional, overwhelming at times, but also deeply transformative. I get real about dealing with imposter syndrome, the fear of not being "enough," and what it's been like to walk away from one career to follow a calling that feels so much more aligned with who I am now.I share the hard moments—balancing work, school, and life—and the ways community and connection have helped me keep going. This journey has pushed me far outside my comfort zone, but it's also shown me what I'm truly capable of.If you're in the middle of a big life change, questioning your path, or just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. I hope it reminds you that growth is possible—even in the chaos—and that you are worthy of pursuing what sets your soul on fire.FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE SIGN UP FOR THE FREE RAISING SEROTONIN NEWSLETTER HERE

He is a prominent advocate for rethinking higher education, particularly focusing on the need for teaching students problem-solving and adaptability, which he believes traditional education systems often neglect.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I love following themes on the podcast, and for the month of March, I'm taking you through my lesson plans step by step! Over the past few weeks, we've talked about how to use a curriculum map to organize what you're teaching across each tier. I love using a curriculum map because it keeps everything structured and helps ensure you're covering essential topics. My IMPACT members receive these maps so they know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to implement each lesson—complete with all the resources included! If you're a podcast listener and want to try out a curriculum map for yourself, head to the resources section to grab your full-year lesson plans. If you haven't already, make sure to go back and listen to this month's episodes on Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 resources. Today, we're shifting our focus to data tools—specifically, self-assessments! What Are Self-Assessments? Self-assessments are short quizzes that students complete before and after counseling sessions. These tools help measure student growth by tracking their understanding of key skills. Here's how they work: Students complete a pre-assessment before the first counseling session. They complete a post-assessment after the final session. The assessments include statements with response options (Yes, Maybe, or No). For example, if you're running a small group on academic skills, your self-assessment might include statements like: I can identify several test-taking strategies. I am prepared for class. I know what it means to procrastinate. I recommend using 7 to 10 statements and ensuring that you are actively teaching these concepts during your sessions. The goal is that students demonstrate improvement in their post-assessment, showing they've gained a stronger understanding of the skills you taught. Why Use Self-Assessments? Self-assessments provide measurable data that can be shared with administrators, parents, and other stakeholders. They help determine: If a student is ready to graduate from counseling. If a group needs re-teaching as a whole. If individual students need additional support in specific areas. Every decision we make as school counselors should be data-driven. Using self-assessments helps you build confidence in your role and demonstrate the impact of your counseling program. Organizing Your Self-Assessment Data You can use paper-based self-assessments or create digital versions for easier data management. A great option is to use QR codes and Google Forms, which allow responses to autopopulate into pie charts for a clear visual representation of student progress. This makes it easy to track growth and share results with stakeholders. Access More Resources All the strategies I've covered this month, including self-assessment templates, are available to IMPACT members.

Ever wondered, “Why are my students so anxious, and how can I help them beyond just deep breathing exercises?” You're not alone! I wanted to go beyond the basics and dive into the psychological cycles of stress—and now I have a FREE training for you! Many counselors ask me how they can better support students with test anxiety beyond simple deep breathing exercises. I wanted to go beyond the basics and dive into the psychological cycles of stress, which led me to create a free live training called Help Students Break the Stress Cycle: The Anxiety Management Tool You Didn't Learn in Grad School!
