Jenn shares powerful insights into how the marketing landscape has changedāand what has stayed the sameāand why therapists must stop over-functioning and start getting strategic if they want to attract clients willing to pay premium fees.
If youāve been wondering whether a cash-pay, high-fee practice is still possible in 2025, this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, Jenn shares:
Why marketing is just another kind of relationship (and you already know how to do it);
How the myth of āIāll raise my fees once Iām fullā keeps therapists stuck in burnout;
The difference between lead generation, messaging, and conversionāand why it matters;
Why ānurture marketingā doesnāt convert (and what to do instead);
The timeless marketing principles that still work in the age of AI, BetterHelp, and SEO overload.
