Why do we keep doing the things we know aren't good for our finances? Whether it's emotional spending, avoiding a growing credit card balance, over-controlling every dollar, or saying “yes” to spending when we really mean “no”. So many of our money habits aren't about math; they're about emotion. This week, Jean Chatzky sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist and mental health educator Kati Morton, author of the new book Why Do I Keep Doing This?, to unpack the psychology behind the patterns that keep us stuck, especially when it comes to money. In this episode, we explore: The difference between healthy control and control that quietly sabotages us Why emotional spending happens — and how it differs from compulsive spending How financial insecurity in childhood can shape our careers, relationships, and money mindset Why the world feeling “out of control” can trigger impulsive financial decisions How women nearing retirement can navigate financial anxiety during major life transitions Practical tools to help break the cycle And if you're ready to take control of your financial future in an intentional way, join us in InvestingFixx, our investing community designed to help you build confidence, clarity, and long-term wealth.

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin tackles a question many feeding specialists quietly wrestle with:Why can two therapists treat the same child — and achieve completely different outcomes?The answer isn't more techniques. It's clinical reasoning.Hallie dives into the complexity of pediatric feeding therapy, unpacking why progress often stalls when clinicians focus on surface-level feeding skills instead of identifying the primary systems driving a child's feeding patterns. She challenges therapists to move beyond siloed thinking and into an integrated, systems-based approach that transforms therapy outcomes.This conversation marks a powerful shift — from simply treating feeding challenges to stepping into clinical leadership.If you've ever wondered why some cases feel stuck… or why therapy timelines stretch longer than expected… this episode will sharpen your lens and elevate your practice.

Is SEO actually dead… or are we just playing by outdated rules? In this episode, I'm interrupting our seven-figure series to talk about something that feels urgent: the massive shifts happening in SEO and AI search and what they mean for you as a therapist in private practice. I break down why SEO isn't dead (despite what the internet is screaming), but it is very different than it was even a year ago. We're no longer just talking about showing up on Google. Now we're navigating visibility on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Claude, Google, and Bing. I'll explain the big pivot away from "content is king" and toward something much more powerful in 2026: legitimacy, credibility, and topical authority. I also walk you through three practical shifts you can implement quickly (without writing 1,500-word blogs twice a week) to help you show up in AI searches and attract more private-pay clients. We'll talk about zero-click searches, why your Google Business Profile and directory bios matter more than ever, and how to structure your website so AI tools actually recommend you. My intention with this episode is to show you exactly where to focus next. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:12 - Why "SEO is dead" is a dramatic myth (and what's actually changing) 5:48 - The real reason "content is king" no longer applies in the AI era 8:10 -The credibility shift that gives therapists a major competitive advantage 10:27 - A simple website update that can dramatically improve AI visibility 12:02 - How clients are actually searching in tools like ChatGPT now 14:11 - What "zero-click searches" mean for your marketing strategy 16:05 - The overlooked sections of your online presence that now carry the most weight Join me Wednesday, March 11th at 1PM EST for a free masterclass on How To Make Your Private Practice Impossible To Miss In 2026  I'll walk you step-by-step on how to get your Private Practice to show up in Google search + ChatGPT using beginner-friendly SEO tools and AI hacks you can implement in minutes, plus community marketing that is a MUST in 2026.   Resources Mentioned: Register Here Today to Save Your Spot: https://www.theentrepreneurialtherapist.com/webinar Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 3 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle

In this episode, I recap the second day of Field of Dreams and focus specifically on what I believe is one of the most crucial — and often overlooked — aspects of our work: engaging parents. We know CCPT works. We know the research supports it. But none of that matters if families drop out before the process has time to unfold. Attrition rates in CCPT are high, and most parents leave before the seventh session. That reality forces us to look inward. If parents are anxious, pushy, resistant, or distant, that is not simply a "difficult parent" problem — it's often a breakdown in how we are building trust. I walk through two core frameworks: the Therapist Trust Triad and the Parent Partnership Pathway. The Trust Triad challenges us to evaluate ourselves in three domains — internal regulation, external clarity, and relational positioning — and to identify where our own breakdown may be occurring. The Parent Partnership Pathway reminds us that understanding and buy-in develop slowly over time. Parents in crisis cannot absorb everything about CCPT all at once. Engagement must be intentional, paced, and strategic. It's not about talking more or explaining more — it's about building trust in a way that allows families to stay long enough for the model to work. The Field of Dreams training is now available on demand. You can get more information at playtherapynow.com. If you've ever wondered where you truly are developmentally in the model — and what it would take to move toward genuine mastery — this framework gives you the path.

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

Ever walked into a room full of neurodivergent people and thought, "Oh no, what if I'm NOT actually ADHD? What if I don't belong here either?" Yeah. That's a thing. And it's weirdly universal.This week, David and Isabelle are taking you inside the Neurodiversity Alliance Leadership Summit in Denver for a special live recording with Jesse Sanchez, President of the Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye). If Jesse's name sounds familiar, that's because he joined us recently to talk about mentorship and the intersectionality of neurodivergence with race, class, and systemic barriers. This time, we're bringing you the live conversation that started it all!The Neurodiversity Alliance brings together neurodivergent young adults and teens who mentor younger neurodivergent kids through art projects, advocacy, and identity work. The ND Alliance Leadership Summit is where their mentors and leaders gather for training, and David and Isabelle got to do a live podcast on stage in front of the whole group.What "finding your people" actually means when you have ADHD is more than just support. It's about finally stopping the cycle of feeling like a broken, defective version of a person and starting to feel like you belong. Jesse talks about showing up to his first summit 15 years ago "ADHD curious," terrified he wouldn't get the diagnosis and therefore wouldn't get to be part of this incredible community. Isabelle tears up remembering the moment David brought her to her first ND Alliance event and she realized, "Oh. OH. This is me." And David reflects on two decades of watching this organization do something he's never seen anywhere else: teach neurodivergent kids that being different doesn't mean being deficient.This isn't a "yay, you found support!" episode. This is about finding your SHAPE (your superpowers, your heart, your abilities, your personality, your experiences) and realizing your worth has absolutely nothing to do with how much money you make or how well you perform. It's about walking into a room where you don't have to mask, where everyone's fidgeting, and where "wait, you do that too?" is the most healing sentence in the English language.If you've ever felt inadequate, like you're failing at being a person, or like you don't quite fit anywhere, grab tissues. This one's for you.Here's what's coming your way:Jesse's journey from "ADHD curious" to diagnosed adult to president of the organization that changed his lifeWhy the fear of NOT being neurodivergent enough to belong is just as real as the fear of having ADHDThe moment Isabelle realized she had ADHD and David said "welcome to the community" (she's still not over it)What "finding your SHAPE" actually means and why it's the key to career alignment and callingWhy neurodiversity creates connection across race, class, and identity in ways other affinity spaces sometimes struggle withWhat Jesse would tell his 10-year-old self (spoiler: "You are worthy and loved beyond measure, and no one can take that from you")How the Neurodiversity Alliance is literally changing education by teaching kids to talk about their brains with mastery instead of shame-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye): An organization where neurodivergent young adults and teens mentor younger neurodivergent kids through art projects and advocacy work. The rebrand reflects what they actually do: build an alliance of humans across the neurodivergent spectrum who know how to tell their full stories, vulnerabilities and superpowers included."ADHD Curious": Jesse's term for showing up to his first summit without a formal diagnosis but knowing something was going on. He was literally exploring his own brain to figure out if neurodivergence explained his life.Masking: Hiding or suppressing your natural neurodivergent behaviors to fit neurotypical expectations. Isabelle talks about being hyper-aware she's masking on stage but also being able to fidget and move in ways that feel freeing instead of shameful.The "SHAPE" Framework: An acrostic Jesse uses for career alignmentS = Superpowers (what you're naturally great at)H = Heart (what motivates you)A = Abilities (what you can actually do)P = Personality (how you show up in the world)E = Experiences (what you bring from your journey)Job vs. Career vs. Calling: Jesse breaks it down: a job pays the bills, a career is something you're invested in growing long-term, and a calling is something bigger than you (something you feel pulled toward whether you like it or not).Metacognitive Skills: The ability to think about your own thinking (understanding how your brain works, what you need, and how you learn best). The ND Alliance teaches kids to get really good at talking about their learning styles instead of hiding them.-------

What if the real reason you haven't scaled your practice isn't strategy… but capacity? In this episode, I'm covering the piece no one talks about in the seven-figure conversation: your energy. We can learn marketing. We can master systems. We can hire and scale. But if you don't have the time, space, and nervous system regulation to implement what you already know, you will stay stuck. I share the hard statistics around female entrepreneurs and therapists hitting major revenue milestones, and why doing what "everyone else" is doing simply won't get you there. I also walk you through the mindset shift that changed everything for me after a season of grief, burnout, and realizing I was living in the wrong story. I break down the practical and personal shifts that helped me expand my capacity. I'll challenge you to look at what you're holding outside of work, what you're doing out of obligation instead of alignment, and why managing your life like a seven-figure therapist has to happen before you become one. If you want to scale without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sanity, this is the episode that will change how you think about growth. Topics Covered in This Episode: 3:42 - The uncomfortable statistics that might just fuel your next level 7:15 - Why knowing "how" isn't your real problem 10:28 - The 48-hour exercise that exposes what's actually draining you 14:03 - The delegation shifts that buy back more time than you think 16:47 - What high-level female founders are doing behind closed doors 19:12 - The hidden ROI of protecting your health If this episode stirred something in you, I urge you to take action. Start the audit. Have the hard conversation. Trial the support. Decide you're no longer available for the version of success that costs you your well-being. And if this resonated, DM me and let me know what hit home - I'd love to hear what you're shifting as you step into your next level.   Resources Mentioned: Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 3 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle   Fill Up Therapists: $0-$60k   If you are needing more private pay clients in your practice in 2026, the Practice Accelerator is the perfect fit for you.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Nicole Liloia about why multiple income streams are becoming essential for therapists who want real financial security and flexibility.

We also dive into the biggest mistakes therapists make when trying to create courses or passive income, and what it actually takes to build additional income streams in a strategic, sustainable way.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. John A. King—founder of Give Them A Voice Foundation—to break the silence around male sexual abuse and sex trafficking. We confront cultural myths, unpack grooming and trauma bonding, and explore how PTSD often shows up in men as anger, shutdown, hyper-independence, or shame. Drawing from insights in Trauma and Recovery and research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ACE Study, this episode challenges listeners to examine minimized trauma, misplaced shame, and survival patterns that may be masking deeper wounds. Tune in to the PTSD from Male Sexual Abuse & Sex Trafficking Through a Therapist's Eyes. 

Porn addiction recovery is rarely instant—especially in a Christian marriage. In this conversation, Greg and Stacey share what helped them move from secrecy, betrayal, trauma, and crisis toward honesty, community, and lasting change.If you're a spouse reeling from disclosure, a struggle trying to get free, or a ministry leader afraid to come forward, this episode offers grounded encouragement: healing is possible, but it's often gradual—and it requires authenticity, support, and trauma-informed care.Greg explains why sexual addiction is an intimacy disorder and why secrecy makes real connection impossible. Stacey speaks candidly about the “kicking and screaming” reality many partners live through, and why you're allowed to feel what you feel as you begin.Time Stamps / Chapters:00:00 Sexual addiction, intimacy, and honesty00:26 Introducing Greg & Stacey (Awaken Ministries)00:49 Greg's hidden struggle + disclosure and job loss (2009)02:45 Stacey's side: betrayal trauma and the “hell” of discovery04:16 Early-stage wisdom: letting yourself feel what you feel07:03 How long does recovery take?

Is it possible to be "fully recovered" and still have anxious thoughts, or are we all just making it up as we go?Welcome to the very first episode of Recovered & Rambling! This is a new monthly feature where I sit down with my right-hand person and friend, Brittany, for a completely unscripted, unfiltered conversation. Think of it as a "vibe check" on life, recovery, and the random stuff that keeps us laughing.In this episode, we're bridging the gap between my decade of recovery and Brittany's more recent journey. We dive into the awkwardness of therapy "first dates," the reality of having no control as a mom, and why we're both currently obsessed with the psychological warfare on The Traitors.HERE'S WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU'RE SPIRALING: https://ahealthypush.myflodesk.com/calmpanicTAKE MY FREE QUIZ AND FIND OUT WHAT'S CAUSING YOU TO STAY STUCK: https://www.ahealthypush.com/blocking-quizA HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/rambling1

Training Therapists in the Age of AI: Preventing Deskilling and Teaching Clinical Judgment As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in mental health care, therapists, supervisors, and educators face a critical responsibility: integrating AI tools without eroding clinical judgment, reasoning, and skill development. In this continuing education episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy examine how AI can create the illusion of competence while quietly undermining the processes therapists rely on to learn how to think clinically. They explore therapist deskilling as a systemic issue shaped by training models, supervision practices, and productivity pressures rather than individual failure. This episode focuses on how supervisors, educators, and clinicians can preserve clinical mastery while using AI responsibly, emphasizing learning science, supervision ethics, and the importance of maintaining human judgment in an automated world. In this episode, we discuss: How AI can mask gaps in clinical reasoning The competence paradox and automation bias in therapy Why struggle and ambiguity are essential for learning The role of supervisors and educators in preventing deskilling How to use AI without outsourcing clinical judgment Continuing Education: This episode is eligible for 1 unit of continuing education (CE).

Sometimes the places in our hearts that feel most tender are also the places we avoid looking. Rejection can leave quiet echoes, forming the way we see ourselves, the lens through which we trust others, and the story we tell about our worth. These old wounds don't always announce themselves, but they shape how we show up in relationships and in life. In this conversation with trauma therapist Tabitha Panariso, we explore what it looks like to heal from the wounds of rejection and begin to embody the gospel's invitations towards belonging and belovedness. Tabitha shares how healing isn't just about moving on, but about resuscitating the heart and learning to receive God's compassion for ourselves. I hope you'll listen in. Check out Tabitha's book Loyal in His Love here. Thought-provoking quotes: “We are not a problems to be fixed. We are people to be loved." - Tabitha Panariso "What we often call ‘moving on' is really just self-protection.” - Tabitha Panariso "To be willing to say something hurts means we're more inclined to receive healing. If we can't acknowledge the pain, we'll never look for wholeness.” - Tabitha Panariso "Learning to receive compassion is one of the hardest parts of embodying the gospel.” - Tabitha Panariso Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: Rejection, trauma, spiritual formation, self-compassion, abandonment wounds, relationship patterns, self-protection, belonging, identity, grief, lament, relational healing, emotional awareness, personal growth, curiosity, Tabitha Panariso

In this episode, host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews the Motus Nova clinical team—occupational therapists Jamie Kurtz, MS, OTR/L, Keisha Burrous, OTR/L, CBIS, Amie Canning, MS, OTR/L, and Mirasol Jacobs, PT, DPT — about the Motus Hand and Motus Foot robotic devices for neurorehabilitation. The team explains how these FDA Class I medical devices provide active-assistive, game-based training at home to help patients achieve the high repetition doses (500–600 reps per day) needed for neuroplastic change, without replacing traditional therapy. Built on pneumatic "artificial muscle" technology, the devices adapt in real time to the user's movement, address tone and spasticity, and can be customized for a wide range of neurologic conditions, from stroke and MS to Parkinson's disease and Guillain-Barré. The conversation covers who is appropriate for the devices, how they integrate with inpatient and outpatient care, real-world success stories—including improved gait, grip strength, and mental health—and the practical steps for clinicians to refer patients, arrange demos, and navigate the 13‑month rental-to-own DME model now supported by a dedicated Medicare code, which means patients can get the device through their insurance and it does not impact their ability to get other durable medical equipment (DME). Overall, the episode highlights Motus Nova as an accessible way to extend evidence-based neuro rehab beyond the clinic and into patients' homes.

Research and surveys showcase that what we most value in our lives are relationships. Yet for all the teaching and training we get as we grow up, how to have healthy relationships is seldom a topic. And we often fall to the examples we are exposed to. In this episode we are looking at identifying unhealthy relationships, healing, and growing. This was the second time I brought Nedra Glover Tawwab. I first had her on with her book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace. This time is for her book, Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships.

Nedra is a New York Times best-selling author, licensed therapist, and renowned relationship expert. She has practiced relationship therapy for nearly 20 years. Nedra's expertise is in helping people create healthy relationships by teaching them how to implement boundaries. Her philosophy is that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie most relationship issues, and her gift is helping people create healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Send a textWhat if leading at home wasn't about fixing every problem, but about showing up with curiosity, clear standards, and follow-through you can keep? We sit down with Thomas Miller—therapist, coach, and host of the Four Peaks Parent podcast—to explore how dads can guide teens through injury, identity shifts, and big feelings without swinging to extremes.Thomas shares the hard-won lessons that shaped his approach: art school beginnings, building programs for LGBTQ youth, and running a wilderness therapy team responsible for 62 high‑risk teens. Layer in profound personal loss and years of clinical work, and you get a grounded, no-nonsense playbook for family leadership. We unpack why “Do it right, do it once” is more than a motto, how to transform rehab into purpose, and why small, consistent wins beat grand speeches every time.We get practical about mental health. Instead of chasing labels, Thomas returns to ADLs—sleep, movement, hygiene, purposeful work, connection—and Freud's simple barometer: work, love, play, and laughter. He maps the two pitfalls he sees most often: parents who minimize obvious issues until a child “gets sicker” to be seen, and parents who pathologize every wobble. The middle path uses clear assessment, heart-centered language, and boundaries you'll actually enforce. You'll also hear how couples' communication styles—head-on versus avoidant—leak into parenting, and what it takes to co-write a healthier family culture.If you're a dad juggling a demanding job, teen sports, and rising anxiety at home, this conversation hands you a framework: lead with curiosity, set standards you model, and let kids own outcomes. Less rescuing, more guiding. Less reacting, more discernment.

Send a textWhen a split-second choice could become tomorrow's headline, how do you stay human under the uniform? We sit down with former deputy sheriff turned coach and author AK Dozanti to unpack the real toll of first responder life—and the science-backed tools that help you heal without losing your edge.AK traces a rare path: undercover ICAC work at 19, road patrol, officer of the year, rapid burnout, then a pivot into victim advocacy, graduate study in criminology and victimology, yoga teacher training, and ultimately a mission to coach police, fire, EMS, and dispatch. She shares how early suicide losses set a hidden baseline for stress, why trauma is a near-universal experience rather than a diagnosis, and how high-velocity calls collide with a nervous system built for survival, not perfection. We break down the biology of stress—adrenaline surges, the brainstem's grip, and the prefrontal cortex going offline—and show how that clashes with modern expectations: body cams rolling, phones pointed, pristine Miranda, and zero room for error.We also tackle the weight of public narratives: how one viral failure can stain an entire profession, how ambushes and doxxing amplify hypervigilance, and why the “off switch” at home can be the hardest skill of all. AK offers practical, field-tested resets for the nervous system—slow exhale breathing, orienting, grounding through the feet, and micro-recoveries between calls—along with culture shifts leaders can make today: protect days off, normalize precise language around suicide, include dispatch in wellness training, and reward process over speed. The goal isn't spin; it's operational readiness and human dignity.If you serve on the front lines or love someone who does, this conversation gives you language, tools, and hope.

What if the problem isn't motivation… but misunderstanding? In this episode, we dive deep into executive functioning and the powerful role of "why" in understanding ADHD and neurodivergent children and teens. Joining me is Dani Donovan — ADHD advocate, comic artist, and author of The Anti-Planner — for an honest and validating conversation about procrastination, overwhelm, shame, and the myth of laziness. If you've ever thought: "Why won't they just do it?" "They know what to do — so why aren't they doing it?" "Am I doing something wrong as a parent?" "Why does trying harder not work?" This episode is for you. We explore: Why executive functioning struggles are not laziness The critical difference between knowing and doing Why shame never improves behavior How misunderstanding leads to blame The emotional experience of ADHD Why "trying harder" is not a strategy How asking "why?" changes everything Practical ways to shift from frustration to curiosity Why understanding must come before intervention For parents, this conversation offers relief and clarity. For therapists and clinicians, it reinforces the importance of neurodiversity-affirming, emotionally attuned support that reduces shame and builds capacity. When we understand the why behind executive functioning challenges, we stop seeing a "problem child" — and start seeing a nervous system that needs support. Because if they could, they would.

Life.Church Senior Pastor Craig Groeschel and his therapist, Dr. Wayne Chappelle, join Carey to talk about a wall Craig hit in ministry, that he thought might k*ll him. They discuss what was at stake, how he got through it, what happens to leaders who don't take action, and how Craig recovered fully from what almost took him out. 

Protect your peace, set boundaries, don't let people drain your energy…there's a lot of advice like that, and it's easy to take it a little too far. Therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab joins Forrest to discuss the unintended consequences of the boundaries movement.  They talk about how the helpful concept of boundaries led some toward isolation and rigid standards, and focus on healthy dependency: the reality that we all need other people. Nedra explains the spectrum from codependency to hyper-independence, why your attachment style is more flexible than you think, and how the stories we tell about ourselves become self-fulfilling.
