Have you noticed gaps in your community where there are needs that require attention? Are you hearing the same or similar pains over and over in the lives of the people around you? This is what happened to Jennifer, and she took the initiative to provide services to those whom she saw needed them the most.  In this episode, Jennifer and I discuss how she based her new, growing Canadian private practice on the values of cultural awareness, belonging, and identity, and how she is making the transition to solo practice financially stable.  We also talk about blogs, working with AI, instilling balance, and why adaptability is an important gift that you should give yourself when working in this mental health field. There are many gems to share, so welcome our conversation!  MEET JENNIFER Jennifer Bonilla is a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of Therapy Across Seasons, serving adults and families online across Ontario. She specializes in helping clients understand how attachment and family dynamics shape their confidence, boundaries, and relationships. Guided by compassion and cultural awareness, Jennifer supports people in moving through life's seasons with greater clarity, connection, and resilience.  Learn more about Jennifer on her practice website, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles.  In this episode:  Why Jennifer decided to become a therapist  Starting a private practice Centering Culture in Private Practice  Financial prep to curb fear  Marketing the practice  Jennifer's advice for listeners  Why Jennifer decided to become a therapist  Jennifer started in the mental health field as a child and youth worker.  While Jennifer enjoyed working with youth and children in Toronto, she saw gaps in care. Starting a private practice  Jennifer appreciated the experience that she had working in other group practices, but she knew that she wanted to start her own practice because she wanted to lay her own foundation. Apart from wanting to ground her practice on a specific set of goals and values, Jennifer also wanted to live a professional life that had more flexibility to it. She wanted to create her own schedule, rather than follow one from someone or something else. Centering Culture in Private Practice  Jennifer noticed that many of her clients kept having the same or similar issues around culture, identity, belonging, and self-assurance.  These conversations kept coming up, and Jennifer noticed that at the core of some of her clients' anxieties were anxieties around cultural identity.  Financial prep to curb fear Jennifer is working in phases. She still has a caseload in the other group private practice, and sees clients on the side in her new, growing private practice.  She's slowly transitioning out of one and into the other as her income grows to make this change carefully and intentionally, without risking her income and livelihood.  By taking it slowly, such as building up emergency savings, relying a little on contract work, and slowly transitioning into private practice, Jennifer can keep making her professional choices from a place of intentionality, not fear.  Marketing the practice  Jennifer is going full-tilt on marketing her solo practice. When she has the time - or makes the time - she writes blogs, vlogs, and networks to get her business off the ground.  When it comes to writing blogs, Jennifer does use AI tools to help her with prompts, but is careful to keep her words her own.  Furthermore, Jennifer is brainstorming about the possibility of hosting workshops from 2026 onwards.  Jennifer's advice for listeners  Take a seasonal perspective. Remember that things come and go, times change. What is sustainable overall? How can you adapt throughout the times?  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Encore: Affordable Ways to Start a Canadian Private Practice in 2025 | EP 181 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Create your website with WordPress!  Learn more about Jennifer on her practice website, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles  Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

Wayne tested flight insurance over a single weekend with a WordPress site and Google ads. When people tried to pay, he showed a fake error message. The result: 15.9% conversion.

La novedad de WordPress que incorpora IA para crear, revisar y optimizar artículos sin perder la voz de tu marca abre un futuro en el que el blog no solo informa, sino que enseña, acompaña y genera ingresos de forma natural. Imagina un contenido que acelera con ideas y borradores propuestos por la IA, pero que siempre pasa por una edición humana que entiende a tu audiencia y evita la jerga. En una historia real, una tienda de artesanías conectó cada post con un módulo de aprendizaje y envíos automáticos, mostrando cómo la automatización puede elevar la eficiencia sin perder autenticidad.La clave está en un plan claro: define a tu público, elige tres temas centrales para repetir en formatos distintos y traza un calendario realista manteniendo tu voz. Un ejemplo: una emprendedora de jardinería creó posts orientados a un curso corto al final de cada artículo, logrando registros constantes y clientes, pese a dudas iniciales que se disipan al escuchar a la audiencia. La acción de hoy: elige un tema que domines, redacta un artículo breve que responda a una pregunta frecuente, crea un recurso práctico y configura una automatización para entregar el recurso y un enlace a un curso relacionado. En resumen, tecnología y experiencia juntas para enseñar, motivar y vender sin perder el alma del blog; ¿te atreves a probarlo?Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/triunfa-con-tu-blog-marketing-online--2111080/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Este episodio te enseña cómo WordPress está llevando el email marketing dentro de tu propio blog: suscripción nativa, plantillas listas para newsletter y herramientas sencillas para programar y segmentar. La idea central es simple y poderosa: escribe un post y conviértelo en un email bonito para la bandeja de entrada, sin perder a quien también quiere leerte en la web. Cuando el lector puede elegir entre leer en su correo o hacerlo en tu sitio, la confianza, las respuestas y las ventas pequeñas se disparan. El ejemplo de Fika Estudio lo demuestra: movieron su newsletter al blog, pusieron una suscripción visible, diseñaron una plantilla básica y una serie de bienvenida, y programaron envíos semanales; en ocho semanas, más respuestas, tráfico más estable y nuevas reservas que antes no se veían.La receta práctica es breve y aplicable: define una promesa de newsletter en una frase clara, fija dos días y una hora, y usa el mismo esqueleto de email para todos (asunto claro, saludo corto, idea clave con un ejemplo y un único botón). Añade el bloque de suscripción al inicio de cada post y crea una serie de bienvenida de tres correos; convierte tu post más leído en newsletter y programa dos envíos en la próxima semana. Aplica la regla tres a uno: tres correos de valor con un consejo práctico y uno que invite a tu producto de entrada, sin vender en cada mensaje; añade un PS discreto con otro enlace. Mide altas y clics cada viernes y ajusta según resultados, aprovechando IA como copiloto para generar asuntos y borradores. ¿Listo para empezar? Activa la suscripción, convierte tu mejor contenido y, en una tarde, avanza sin liarte.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/triunfa-con-tu-blog-marketing-online--2111080/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

This is a very special episode: my ninth annual yearly review!  In this episode, I share insights into how my Canadian private practice has been going this year. Including the significant changes that have occurred, how their impacts landed, and where we are going from here … into Year 10 in 2026!  Thank you to my listeners for being on this path alongside me. I'm so excited for another great year of episodes ahead! Onwards and upwards! In this episode:  Direct billing has been great  Success with lowered prices  Monthly land tax donations My transition  Here's to year 10!  Direct billing has been great  As you may have heard, from year eight we implemented direct billing and that has continued to be an asset.  If you are interested in learning more about the process of including direct billing and how I did it, you can listen to this podcast episode. Or, if you're sitting on the fence and still deciding whether or not you want to use direct billing, and some more information could be useful to you, you can listen to this episode.  Success with lowered prices  Last year we decided to lower our rates and haven't looked back!  If you want some more information and guidance on lowering or raising your rates, check out this episode I did discussing this exact topic.  Monthly land tax donations The third change we've been implementing since the middle of this year has been donating monthly to the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Again, if you are interested in doing the same or you want to learn more, you can listen to this episode.  My transition  If you're a long-time listener (hello!) you may have heard the episode on my personal big change which happened in the middle of last spring, where I shared the personal story of my transition.  In episode 163 I talk about coming out as trans nonbinary, and why I decided to share this news on this platform, and with my audience.  In fact, when this episode airs and you are listening to it, I'll be healing from top surgery!  'I am so excited for this next part of my journey. I feel so lucky that I am able to get top surgery, I just can't wait for it to happen.' - Jules Smith  However, while this change has been profound and important, my biggest fear about transitioning in an established private practice was realized: my client intake dropped significantly. It can take time to build trust and I think it may be due to the inconsistencies in branding as I redo my professional photos and video. As this episode airs, my private practice website should be finished with my updates! Luckily my associate's intakes have remained steady, and my current client caseload has sustained itself, but I won't lie that it was stressful initially when the dip happened.  'I forgot a bit about how difficult it is when you are starting a private practice, and how stressful it can be to brand yourself. So, I have a renewed sense of respect for all the Canadian therapists out there that have decided to go into private practice! It can be stressful, but I'm here with you, and we'll get through it together!' - Jules Smith  Here's to year 10!  There will be another year of the Fearless Practice Podcast thanks to Jane App! I truly enjoy working with them and love using their EMR :) Additionally, Jane App decided to upgrade the promo code so that you can now have a two-month grace period when you sign up! The new code is: FEARLESS2MO.  Thank you so much to my podcast team and lastly, thank you to my audience.

Today we are talking about AI, New Drupal Features, and the future of AI in Drupal with guest Jamie Abrahams. We'll also cover Orchestration as our module of the week.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Orchestration Brief history How old: created in Aug 2025 by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops, in collaboration with Dries, who some of our listeners may be familiar with Versions available: 1.0.0, which supports Drupal 11.2 or newer Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Documentation site Number of open issues: 11 open issues, none of which are bugs Usage stats: 3 sites Module features and usage With the Orchestration module installed, external systems can trigger Drupal workflows, call AI agents, and execute business logic through a unified API The modules functions as a bi-directional bridge, so Drupal events like content updates, user registrations, or form submissions can also trigger external processing Using the Orchestration module with the Activepieces automation platform in particular was featured at about the one hour mark in the most recent Driesnote, from DrupalCon Vienna, and we'll include a link to watch that in the show notes. The complex example Dries shows is pulling content from a Wordpress site, using AI to evaluate whether or not each post met certain criteria, and then conditionally calling one of a couple of ECA functions, in addition to using AI to rewrite the incoming content to change Wordpress terminology into Drupalisms Under the hood Orchestration provides an endpoint that will return a JSON list of services, including the properties that are needed for each service. The external service also needs to provide the username and password for a Drupal account, so you can control what services will be available based on permissions for the Drupal user that will be used Already Orchestration works with ECA, AI Agents, Tool API, and AI function calls There is also work underway for integrations using webhooks, for integration platforms that aren't ready to directly support Drupal's orchestration services In his presentation Dries mentioned that they are looking for feedback. Specifically, they would like feedback on what platforms should have integrations available
