The Most Important Marketing Strategy (It Doesn’t Require Social Media)
Rebel Therapist
Today I’m talking about the most effective way to fill a signature program beyond private practice: Creating and nurturing Ideal Referral Partnerships. If I were to coach my clients to do only ONE kind of marketing, this would be it. Another word for this is networking. You’re probably already doing this, but you might not be doing it very strategically. When I meet someone who says they don’t do any marketing, but they’ve got customers or clients, I know they HAVE been marketing. They just didn’t see their behavior as marketing. I often find out that the marketing they’ve been...

A Program Based On Art Journaling With Lea Seigen Shinraku
Rebel Therapist
Lea had been helping people with self-compassion for years, but when she started using art journaling in her program, it came together in a more powerful way. Now she teaches art journaling in every session of her signature program, Everyday Self-Compassion. Once she integrated this practice into her program, she fell even more in love with her work. She’s got a feeling of presence, joy and even goofiness. I deeply resonate with the need to feel like my full self as I do my work. How about you?

Don’t Double Your Therapy Sessions
Rebel Therapist
Maybe you plan to double or significantly increase your income this year. If you’re in private practice, you might look at the numbers and think you should double your sessions. And you totally could. People are out there looking for a therapist exactly like you. You might feel like adding sessions is your ONLY option to increase your revenue. That’s not true. You’ve got other options. Check in and be honest with yourself. Will adding to your client load exhaust you or head you towards burnout? If you’re already seeing 12 clients or 15 clients and you’re starting to feel a bit of...

Rebel Therapist
We’re sharing one of our favorite episodes as an encore this week. How do you create and fill a group program? How do you navigate a full therapy practice at the same time? We’re about to go behind the scenes and find out exactly how my guest has done it. Meet Sonya Brewer, a trauma specialist and relationship expert who specializes in creative life and relationship design for overachieving trauma survivors and their partners.

info_outlineIn this episode we're talking about productivity, time & energy management, and getting important shit done. I'm also going to invite you to a free planning session. Every year, I host a 90-minute planning session for all of my clients. This year I'm also hosting one for free for YOU my listeners. I'll tell you more about it in just a little bit.
I have gotten way more productive over the past few years. I've always been able to get a lot done, but I've gotten more efficient and more effective. I've noticed that for me, it's NOT that I'm working more. In fact, I'm working less hours. I've been taking the resources of time and energy really seriously in my life. I've been having a very intimate relationship with my calendar, using my calendar to block out every single task, and then actually sticking with those appointments. I've been tracking my time using an app so that I can analyze what I'm spending my time on. Breanne and I use notion to keep track of all the tasks, templates and processes in my business. I've created theme days so that for every day of the week, I'm clear about what I'm focusing on. And here's the thing: I think that stuff is fabulous. AND I want you to try all of it too. BUT I also want you to hear from people who do it differently.
As much as I love MY systems, I know you'll benefit from hearing about what works for other business owners.
We're going to get into it with 2 different rebellious business owners. You'll hear what's actually working for each of them to get more done in less time and to move forward with their most important goals.
Laetitia Phan:
First we'll hear from Laetitia Phan, a psychologist in New Caledonia who helps warrior helpers find meaning and joy in their practices and lives to make the world a better place for everyone.
Laetitia faced 2 big-time management problems. She hated doing the admin stuff in her business. She felt it was robbing her of her time because she didn't have effective systems or rituals for it. She also lacked the time to do some of the things she was really excited about, like creating art about her work. She found that she was procrastinating about what mattered most.
Then came BADDASS FRIDAYS. She set aside one day a week to do everything she HAS to do AND everything she WANTS to do.
Highlights from Laetitia:
- Why she used to feel sad and anxious about her time management
- How she creates a framework for her time using a weekly log and bullet journal
- Exactly how she spends her Badass Fridays and gets into her Badass Creative Zone
- How she created a reward ritual that encourages her to create more art and content
- Why she likes the Pomodoro Technique
Ivy Griffin:
If you haven't heard Ivy's previous episode, go to rebeltherapist.me/ivy-griffin to hear ivy talk about how she narrowed her niche, got off insurance panels, and grew her practice, all while working in a way that preserves her energy as a highly sensitive person. In this episode, Ivy talks about how she manages a team of 7 therapists at Thrive Therapy Center as well as her own caseload. Ivy uses theme days, dedicating certain days of the week to certain categories of work.
Highlights from Ivy:
- How she helps the therapists in her center manage their time
- The place she sees people get stuck: progress notes!
- Working from home to actually get more done
- How she uses the Trello app for task management
- Creating weekly and monthly to do lists
- Playing games with herself to get started on her daily list
- How she manages writing for 2 different blogs every month
