In this episode, Tiffany talks with Sara Rader, LPCC, a maternal mental health and trauma specialist who transformed her practice — and her entire life — in just four months inside LIMB Academy.

Sara didn’t hustle.
She didn’t add more clients.
She didn’t work more hours.

Instead, she got brutally honest about her money stories, her faith conditioning, her sliding scale patterns, and the quiet anxiety that had been running her practice behind the scenes.

The result?

She nearly doubled her private practice income while seeing the same number of clients — AND bought her family’s first home.

This episode is packed with grounded wisdom, spiritual depth, and a level of honesty most therapists never say out loud… but every therapist needs to hear.

 

In this episode, Sara shares:

  • Why she always felt anxious about money despite “looking successful” on paper

  • How she realized her entire practice was a sliding scale — even though she thought she had a “full fee”

  • The moment she decided to stop spiritualizing self-sacrifice and start honoring her worth

  • What it was like raising her fee with all her existing clients

  • The faith-based fears she had to confront about being seen as greedy or judged by her community

  • How charging $200/session changed her parenting, her presence, and her clinical work

  • Why her nervous system finally calmed once she committed to her life-first fee

  • And how she hit a massive financial milestone without burnout, panic, or hustle
