What if "doing well" no longer feels secure because the income that once worked no longer meets your financial needs?   In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm seeing across conversations with therapists right now and what I'm personally experiencing as well. Inflation, debt, cost of living, and long-term goals are forcing many therapists to confront a hard truth: paying the bills isn't the same as feeling financially safe. Wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you're awake.   We talk about why hitting a new level of financial security requires doing things differently, not just working harder, and the identity shift that comes with deciding you're done repeating the same year over and over. I also share why money conversations still feel taboo for women, how your environment shapes your growth, and why getting out of your day-to-day routine through in-person experiences can radically change how you think about your business, your income, and what's possible. That pattern disruption is exactly what inspired me to host my very first Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat this year.   Topics Covered in This Episode: 2:00 – Why "doing well" no longer feels financially secure for many therapists 4:45 – The identity shift required to reach your next income level 7:55 – Why wanting more money still feels taboo for women 9:05 – How your environment shapes your growth and decision-making 11:32 – What in-person retreats offer that online programs cannot 16:54 – Why pattern disruption is essential for entrepreneurial therapists   If you've been feeling the pull to turn it up this year and stop doing things the way you always have, this episode is your invitation. I'm officially opening the conversation about my first-ever Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat happening this May in Annapolis, Maryland.   Resources Mentioned:   Join the Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat on May 27 - 30, 2026: https://theentrepreneurialtherapist.com/retreat   Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 4 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle

What would it actually take to add an extra $5,000 a month to your therapy practice without burning out or stacking more one-to-one sessions? In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of my favorite topics: additional revenue streams and how therapists can strategically scale beyond the traditional one-to-one model. I walk you through why relying on a single income stream is risky, how unexpected life events can impact your business, and why building flexibility into your revenue can transform not just your income, but your health, energy, and quality of life. I break down the two most common paths therapists take: building a profitable group practice and stepping into the creator economy with offers like courses, coaching, memberships, speaking, or retreats. We talk real numbers, realistic expectations, and what it actually looks like to design offers that work in today's fast-changing market. I also share how I think about pricing, program structure, audience growth, and why 2026 is shaping up to be a powerful year for connection-based business models. If you've been thinking about scaling but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you zoom out, think bigger, and create a strategy that fits your lifestyle and long-term vision. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:42 - Why adding revenue streams is about freedom, not just money 7:15 - The real profit math behind hiring your next associate 11:08 - The mistake most therapists make when scaling a group practice 14:30 - How the creator economy is shifting and what still works 18:05 - The hidden numbers behind selling a $997 course 21:47 - Why in-person components may become your biggest advantage 24:12 - Choosing between high-ticket depth or high-volume scale If you're serious about adding consistent income without sacrificing your sanity or your mission, this is your invitation to take action. The Scale Up Mastermind is officially open for registration. This is a program that has sold out each time in the past 5 cohorts and focuses on helping therapists develop additional revenue streams for their practice. Apply for the Scale Up Mastermind - We start Feb 13th.   Resources Mentioned: Apply for the Scale Up Mastermind Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 4 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle

Most men aren't unloving — we're just under-trained in empathy.In this episode of Dad Tired Daily, Jerrad shares a personal moment from his marriage and unpacks why empathy is so hard for many men. From childhood survival patterns to chronic stress and the fear that empathy equals agreement, he walks through five common blockers that keep men emotionally distant from their wives and kids.Then he offers one simple, practical way to grow empathy this week — not by fixing, preaching, or escaping — but by learning to pause, name emotions, and stay present just a little longer than feels comfortable.Empathy isn't weakness. It's a muscle. And it can be grown.

Is private practice really "broken," or is the therapy industry simply evolving faster than we expected? In this episode, I sit down with Allison Puryear for a grounded, honest conversation about the major shifts happening in the therapy industry as we head deeper into 2026. We unpack what is actually behind the slowdown so many therapists are feeling, why what worked from 2020 to 2023 no longer works the same way, and how big therapy tech, virtual care, insurance dynamics, and AI are reshaping access to care. Allison brings decades of perspective to help us zoom out, calm the panic, and understand what is truly changing and what is not. We also talk about where therapists still have a massive advantage and how to build a practice that is sustainable, human-centered, and resilient in this new landscape. From relationship-based referrals and ethical networking to niche clarity, speaking opportunities, and adapting your marketing without burning out, this episode is about reclaiming agency and momentum when the noise feels overwhelming. Topics Covered in this Episode: 4:12 - Why the "easy growth" years of private practice are over 7:45 - The real impact of big therapy tech that few are talking about 10:30 - How insurance, politics, and trust are quietly shifting client behavior 14:05 - What therapists can do that large platforms cannot 17:50 - Why networking still works and how to do it authentically 20:40 - What AI will realistically change in therapy 23:15 - Creative ways to stand out without adding more hours Wanting to add additional revenue streams in this year?

What if healing doesn't start with managing your emotions—but with understanding how your brain responds to fear, grief, and hope? In this episode, Dr. Alison sits down with neurosurgeon, author, and Iraq War veteran Dr. Lee Warren to explore trauma, loss, faith, and the brain's God-given capacity to change.  After unimaginable loss, Dr. Warren shares how “self-brain surgery”—learning to notice and interrupt destructive thought patterns—helped him restore hope and agency without bypassing grief. This conversation will help you understand: —Why most of our thoughts are repetitive, negative, and often untrue —How trauma wires automatic thoughts—and how those patterns can change —How faith and neuroscience meet in practical ways —The difference between the mind and the brain, and why that distinction matters for healing This episode offers hope without shortcuts. It honors the reality of suffering while reminding us that our past does not get the final word — not neurologically, not emotionally, and not spiritually.

This week, Jake and Bob welcome Dr. Sean Tobin, author and psychologist, to explore the reality of spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Dr. Sean reframes deliverance not as a battle to fear but as a process of centering our hearts in Christ. They discuss how fear, self-reliance, and isolation fragment the soul, why the simplicity of love and praise is more powerful than you think, and the proper balance between technique and communion. This is a hopeful conversation about spiritual battle, one rooted not in fear, but in confidence in a Father who relentlessly pursues healing, wholeness, and communion with His children.   Key Points:  Spiritual warfare is real, but we need not be afraid. Deliverance is not about removing darkness but allowing the light of Christ back into our hearts. The enemy's main tactics are to make us feel afraid, isolated, or grasp in self-reliance. Feeding fear or falling into superstition can strengthen spiritual bondage instead of bringing freedom The simple practices of faith (prayer, trust, and praise) are more profoundly effective than you think. Spiritual warfare is ultimately about ministering to people, not fighting demons. Healing involves restoring belonging, communion, and trust in God's presence. Like healing, deliverance is a process, and does not usually happen in a single moment. God can use spiritual conflict to refine, mature, and draw us into deeper communion with Him.

What if the reason you haven't hit multi-six figures yet has nothing to do with your strategy and everything to do with your identity? In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest (and most overlooked) reasons entrepreneurial therapists stay stuck: the identity ceiling they're unconsciously living under. I'm sharing why you don't need permission to evolve, why mindset (not marketing) is often the real bottleneck to growth, and how the identity you're operating from determines what feels "safe" or "possible" in your business. We'll talk about what it really takes to scale in 2026, especially when you're in the messy middle, things aren't shiny anymore, and quitting feels tempting. I also open up about my own identity shifts from solo therapist to multi–six–figure entrepreneur and the uncomfortable growth that came with it. We explore failure (and why you must be willing to fail fast), the hidden fears that keep therapists playing small, and how surrounding yourself with the right rooms and people can fundamentally change what you believe you're capable of. If you're done repeating the same year over and over and ready to step into a bigger version of yourself, this episode is for you. Topics Covered in this Episode: 4:48 - The unconscious rules you're following that may be holding you back 7:30 - What it really means to "change your identity overnight" 10:05 - The uncomfortable question every scaling therapist must answer 12:40 - Why failing fast is a non-negotiable skill in 2026 15:18 - The tradeoffs no one talks about when you decide to scale 18:55 - How your body can reveal the goals you're secretly afraid to hit As you head into this new year, I want you to ask yourself: Who do I need to become to create the results I want?

Is SEO still worth your time as a therapist in a world dominated by AI and constant algorithm changes? In this replay of one of our most downloaded episodes of the year, I sit down with SEO expert Chris Morin from Moonraker to break down what actually moves the needle when it comes to getting your private practice website to rank on Google. We talk honestly about whether Google is still relevant, how AI fits into modern SEO (without turning your website into generic fluff), and why content creation is still one of the most powerful and accessible marketing strategies for therapists today. In this conversation, Chris shares a refreshingly practical approach to SEO that feels doable even if you're juggling a full caseload. We dive into how people are really searching for therapy, the biggest mistakes therapists make with service pages, and how to structure your site so Google actually understands what you do, who you help, and where you're located. If SEO has ever felt overwhelming, confusing, or like a total black hole of effort, this episode will help you see a clear path forward and remind you that you don't need to do everything to see results. Topics Covered in This Episode: 3:58 - Why Google rankings are far from "dead" (even with ChatGPT in the mix) 7:14 - The single SEO strategy that delivers the biggest ROI for therapists 9:32 - How clients actually search for therapy (and why "individual therapy" might be hurting you) 12:48 - The surprising power of modality-based pages like EMDR, CBT, and IFS 15:41 - How to use AI strategically without publishing generic, low-value content 21:44 - The hidden SEO mistake almost everyone makes inside their blog posts 24:03 - What backlinks really do and how many you actually need 29:10 - The trust signal Google cares about most (and how to build it ethically) If you're ready to stop guessing and start building a marketing strategy that actually supports your practice growth, this episode is a must-listen.

Nine Simple Practices That Strengthen Relationships Summary In Episode #99 of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis celebrate their 99th episode by sharing nine powerful practices couples can use to strengthen connection, deepen trust, and build meaningful intimacy. Each principle is grounded in years of clinical experience, neuroscience, and relationship research—while remaining practical and accessible for real-life relationships. Together they explore why emotional safety is the foundation of all connection, the importance of ownership over blame, and how consistent attunement builds emotional closeness. They emphasize spending intentional time together, rebuilding trust through small daily actions, learning to emotionally regulate before communicating, and facing—not avoiding—conflict. They also highlight how positive relational interactions nurture bonding and why dreaming and planning for the future together creates shared hope and purpose. Listeners are encouraged to start small, picking one area to work on, knowing that meaningful relationships are built one intentional step at a time.

Is the marketing you're doing right now actually creating long-term freedom or just another version of burnout in disguise?  In this replay of one of the most downloaded episodes of the year, I'm breaking down the best marketing strategies I truly believe in if you value flexibility, rest, and sustainability as much as growth. I walk you through what freedom-based marketing really means, why hustle-heavy strategies eventually backfire, and how to start thinking about your marketing decisions through the lens of your future life. I cover what works best for both practice builders and creators, from SEO and Google visibility to email lists, funnels, and the role social media should (and shouldn't) play. I share real examples from my own business, explain why some strategies quietly keep working for years, and ask you to take an honest look at whether your current marketing is aligned with the life you're trying to build for your health, your family, and your long-term well-being. Topics Covered in This Episode: 2:10 - The question I ask myself before committing to any marketing strategy 6:45 - Why some marketing creates freedom later (and some never will) 9:30 - The underrated strategy that keeps working even when you're offline 12:50 - What I believe is the most powerful asset creators can build in 2025 16:40 - Why social media feels exhausting and how I set boundaries with it 20:05 - The real role of funnels in creating long-term sustainability 24:30 - The shift that helped me work less without serving less   I want you to sit with the question I pose at the end: Is the marketing you're doing today supporting the life you want in the years ahead? If you're craving more rest, more alignment, and smarter growth (not just more noise) this conversation is for you.

In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone, I share two powerful mindset exercises that have helped me peel out of stress spirals, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with ease — even in the middle of a six-month injury that kept me off the river.

What if planning your year could feel motivating, expansive, and actually fun?

I share the rituals, tools, and questions I use every year to plan intentionally, avoid burnout, and build a business and life that actually feel good. From reviewing revenue to mapping out launches to honoring your real-life capacity, this is the episode that will flip planning on its head and make you excited for what's ahead. This is my final solo episode of 2025, and I wanted it to be a powerful one.

We are living through a Joy Crisis. Leaders, physicians, high achievers, and everyday humans are waking up successful on paper, yet spiritually, emotionally, and energetically empty. In this episode, Dr. V sits down with executive coach Dianna Moore to uncover why joy has quietly faded from modern life and how to bring it back with intention. Dianna spent 25 years in aerospace, moved into executive leadership, later became COO of a venture-backed startup, and now coaches high-stakes leaders in medicine, technology, and cybersecurity. Her journey did not begin with joy. It began with survival. At 18, she was a young mother in college with a baby on her hip. Achievement became her fuel. Later, she realized achievement and joy were not the same thing. This conversation blends science, wisdom, personal experience, and real leadership insight. It offers a grounded path to reclaiming joy in a world that rewards burnout.   What We Cover: What Joy Really Is - Not happiness, not distraction, not numbing. Joy is a deeper internal state tied to meaning, purpose, nervous system balance, and long-term health. The Joy Deficit in Modern Leadership - Medical leaders, cybersecurity executives, and corporate teams often operate in chronic stress without emotional recovery. Joy has disappeared from everyday language and the results show up in burnout, isolation, and strained relationships. Success Versus Joy - Dianna explains how achievement became her identity. Promotions and accomplishments created momentum, yet not fulfillment. Joy had to be cultivated separately. What Joy Looks Like Somatically - Dr. V breaks down how joy affects inflammation, hormones, mitochondrial function, and healing potential. This is where mindset, biology, and longevity truly connect. Simple Practices to Rebuild Joy - Helping others, movement, strength training, reconnecting with your childhood imagination, and returning to purpose. These accessible practices help you reignite joy even in difficult seasons. The Top Joy Killer: Comparison - One of Dianna's most powerful insights at 25:04. Comparison drains energy, confidence, and presence. It is one of the fastest ways to shut down joy.   What You Will Learn Why joy is a performance strategy and not a luxury How to identify signs of a hidden joy deficit Ways high performers accidentally numb instead of nourish How to tell the difference between comfort, happiness, and true joy Why meaningful relationships matter more than professional success Daily practices that create noticeable joy in under five minutes How reconnecting with your childhood self restores creativity and vitality   About Dianna Moore Executive Coach and Founder of Moore Joy Group specializing in leaders in medicine, cybersecurity, technology, and the C-suite moorejoygroup.com   Connect with Dr. V Learn the Thrive State Method at kienvuu.com Follow @doctorvmd on all platforms Get the number one bestselling book Thrive State at thrivestatebook.com Download your free Longevity Starter Kit at thrivestatestarter.com

If stress or discomfort sends you into overthinking, numbing, or trying to fix what you can't control… If certain habits feel automatic no matter how much you try to change them… You're not alone, and your brain is more trainable than you think. In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook sits down with Dr. Jud Brewer—psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and New York Times best-selling author who specializes in habit change and mindfulness.  They unpack why we get stuck in these loops and a simple practice to steady your soul. Instead of relying on willpower or self-judgment, this conversation invites you to: Notice your inner patterns with kindness Differentiate discomfort from distress Understand the habit loops that drive anxiety, worry, or overthinking Apply the #1 tool to help you create real, lasting change Deepen your connection to God This episode is a grounding companion for anyone navigating stress, emotional triggers, or the pull toward old coping strategies—especially in seasons that stir up more than we expect.

December 2025 is a powerful and sacred time of both closure and potent seeding for the future. As we wrap up this intense 9-Year cycle, we are closing out tremendous waves of energy—and setting the stage for 2026. This episode explores how to navigate this final, massive energetic shift with a central theme: dignity. What We'll Explore in This Episode: The Power of Closure: Understanding the 9-Year energy of wisdom, integrity, and innate leadership. Learn how to shed what no longer serves you and intentionally anchoring in what you’re stepping into for 2026.

Gratitude isn't fluff—it's a neural training tool. In this episode, we break down how a simple daily gratitude practice drives neuroplasticity (neural elasticity) to calm your nervous system and sharpen your mind. You'll learn how gratitude strengthens the prefrontal cortex, softens the amygdala's alarm, improves memory recall via the hippocampus, and reduces rumination in the Default Mode Network—with real-world benefits like lower cortisol, better HRV, deeper sleep, and steadier mood. We walk you through a 10-minute protocol you can start tonight (breath, specific recall, short journaling, optional message to someone you appreciate), plus easy anchors to make it stick. Expect practical demos, measurable ways to track progress over 14 days, and simple cues to deploy "appreciation on demand" when stress hits.

Burnout doesn't always come from workload—it often comes from what you don't do. Discover a simple practice that helps firm owners stay energized.

How do you scale your impact as a therapist without sacrificing motherhood, alignment, or joy? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carly Costello — known as EMDR with Carly — to go behind the scenes of how she built multiple revenue streams while staying committed to her values as a mother. We dig into her journey of growing a thriving insurance-based group practice in West Virginia, expanding into EMDR consultation online, and building a niche Instagram audience that deeply trusts her expertise. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped her go from full time solo therapist to a CEO with five therapists on her team and a global reach through her consulting offers. We also explore how she strategically uses Instagram — not for viral fame, but for genuine connection — and how networking, simple visibility, and slow growth led her to sell out her first EMDR consultation cohorts for both therapists seeking certification and consultants-in-training. Carly gets real about expanding her vision while expanding her family (yes, she bought her office building while having a newborn!), navigating mom guilt, and trusting that building the business now will create more freedom for her daughter later.  Topics Covered in this Episode: 2:09 - How Carly built multiple revenue streams including a thriving group practice + EMDR consultation online 4:36 - The mindset and accountability shifts that made major growth possible 7:22 - Growing pains & boundaries when suddenly doubling your staff 18:47 - Scaling while having a newborn + buying her office building (yes, at the same time) 20:42 - The support + structure that keeps big goals moving even when life gets full If you've been dreaming of diversifying your practice or reaching beyond your state lines, this episode will show you what's possible and what it really looks like behind the scenes.

Through one simple daily practice, she learned to recognize when she was leading from striving versus rest, how to catch toxic self-talk before it derailed her decisions, and why her internal dialogue became her best leadership warning system.  What if just 5–10 minutes a day could change how your entire team experiences your leadership?  Listen now to discover:  The exact practice that transforms how you show up  How to know when you're leading from wounds versus healing  The simple way to create safety for others by becoming safe for yourself  Stop hoping you'll figure it out eventually.

Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.  Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God's work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.” I say my work is "helping women shape and share their story by discovering: Who am I? What's my why or work? How do I do my work differently?"But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this truly my work? If so, how is it meant to be finished by me?Story Prompt: What's your work and how will you finish it? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

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.

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 If you're ready to stop feeling scattered and instead create a practice and life that feels intentional, abundant, and energized, then this episode is your roadmap.
