Podcasts about therapy practice

My friends Rhonda Monson (married mother of three, recently returned senior missionary, LGBTQIA ally, therapist, life coach, and retreat facilitator) and Dakota Moses (gay, age 30, married to his husband Tyree for 8+ years, deeply spiritual) join us to share their story. Dakota starts and shares with us his journey being gay and LDS (and out before the age of 12) to his parents and his local leaders. Dakota talks about how he was not “permitted to be himself, or even be” and painful church experiences along the way. Dakota talks about doing everything he could to serve a mission but how that dream eventually shifted—and the deep spiritual impressions along the way. Rhonda (whose former husband is gay) talks about her love and support of Dakota and how she is both an active Latter-day Saint and loves the LGBTQIA people in her life. She talks about her wonderful son Dakota and his husband Tyree and her love of them, the good men they are, and keeping the family circle together. They talk about a new podcast they have started together called “I'll Walk With You”. Please check out and share their podcast. Thank you, Rhonda and Dakota, for being on the podcast. You two inspire me. Thanks for making this world a better place. Honored to have you on the podcast!

(Spoiler alert: it's not always as great as it sounds.)What We Cover1. Green Flags: When a tax refund is a sign that your practice's finances are on track. (Hint: it's all about small refunds!)2.

If you ever receive an unexpectedly large check from the IRS or your state, there are a few things you must check before celebrating. Julie shares common payroll pitfalls and why you need to get your accountant involved, fast.Subscribe:Catch every episode by subscribing to Therapy For Your Money on  Apple Podcasts or YouTube.Remember:Tax refunds aren't always a high-five moment for your practice.

Forgiveness is never simple. And it's rarely quick.In this episode, John Ortberg explores a powerful, research-backed practice that helps move forgiveness from an idea into the heart. Drawing from the story of Joseph and his brothers, and the work of psychologist Everett Worthington, we're invited into a deceptively simple exercise involving two chairs.Forgiveness does not excuse harm. It does not erase boundaries. And it does not guarantee reconciliation. But it does free us from being trapped by resentment and bitterness. This teaching offers a compassionate, practical way to begin that journey, even when wounds are deep and time has passed.What if forgiveness isn't something you feel first, but something you practice?

Episode Notes In July of 2025, I officially started my private practice, My Intimacy Therapist, in Atlanta, Georgia for sex therapy and intimacy issues. I created this space for those who are struggling with: anxiety and control low or high sex drive (compared to their significant other) trouble getting "in the mood" due to pain during sex communication that gets you stuck in cycles of blow ups or shut downs generational patterns that you will be the first to break overwhelmingly busy lives that suffocate sex and intimacy If you can relate, welcome. Podcast topics will continue to cover these themes - but of course, the My Intimacy Therapist Podcast does not serve as therapeutic advice or relationship. If you would like to take these "food for thought" episodes a bit further, I invite you to visit my website myintimacytherapist.com and/or schedule a 15-minute phone consultation here.

So you're thinking about starting a cash-based PT practice, but you're like… “How much is this actually gonna cost me?” You might've seen blogs or posts saying $30K–$50K — and I'm here to tell you: lol, no. That's just not it.During this episode, I'm breaking down what it really costs to get your practice off the ground (hint: it's way more doable than people make it sound). We'll talk about realistic startup numbers, how different models (home-based, gym, mobile) can affect your costs, and — maybe most importantly — the sneaky hidden costs of doing it all alone or staying stuck in a job that's draining you.If you're ready to ditch the clinic but not ready to spend $50K just to do it, this episode is for you.--Follow me on Instagram: @drmorganmeese | Join my Facebook Group: DPT to CEO | Ready to start your own cash based practice?
