Episode #748: Why Youâre Counting Down To Time Off
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something a lot of therapists are too burned out to even name: what happens when the practice you built for freedom starts feeling like the thing you need a vacation from. We get into why you might be counting down to cancellations, why your caseload has become the biggest rock in your life, and what it actually looks like to restructure things so your practice fits around your life instead of the other way around. If you started this work to have more freedom and somehow ended up with less, this one's for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotesÂŽ: Looking to switch EHRs?

Episode #722: Building A Private Practice Website Doesn't Have To Suck
In todayâs Ask Allison episode of the podcast, weâre talking about whether you really need a website when money is tight and tech feels overwhelmingâand why, in todayâs landscape, skipping one often slows everything down. Weâll explore why relying solely on referrals can quietly limit your growth, how clients actually make decisions when comparing providers, and why visibility matters more than perfection. Weâll also talk honestly about the discomfort of building a site and why a simple, imperfect website is often enough to get started. If youâve been avoiding a website because it feels intimidating, unnecessary, or out of reach, this conversation will help you reframe it as a practical, sustainable step forward.

Episode #720: How Do You Identify Your Ideal Client
In todayâs Ask Allison, weâre talking about how to identify your ideal clientâand why, for many therapists, that client often looks a lot like a past version of themselves. Weâll explore why you donât need complicated market research or perfect niche language to get clear, and how reflecting on your own lived experience can actually lead to stronger clinical work and more aligned referrals. Weâll cover how to notice which clients energize you, why shared experience can be a clinical and marketing advantage, and how this clarity helps you speak directly to the people youâre best equipped to help. If defining your ideal client has felt overwhelming, performative, or forced, this episode will help you simplify the process and build a practice that feels authentic, sustainable, and genuinely connected.
