Episode #776: Choose Your Hard: Agency Burnout or Building Your Practice
On today's Ask Abundance, Rebecca Smith (Limitless Practice grad) & I get into something I see people struggle with constantly: knowing whether you're actually ready to leave your agency job, or just desperate to escape it. This week's question: "I've been at my agency job for four years & I can't tell if I'm staying because it's smart or because I'm scared to leave." Emotional readiness & financial readiness are two totally different conversations, & waiting to feel ready is how people stay stuck for years. We talk through choosing your hard, what real financial preparedness looks like in 2026, & why building on the side, even though it's more than full time work, is still the smartest path for most people.

Episode #775: Medicaid & Medicare May Be Better Than You Think, feat. Gabrielle Juliano-Villani
In today's episode of the podcast, I speak with , LCSW, about taking Medicaid & Medicare in private practice, & why it's not as terrifying (or as poorly paying) as you might think. We bust some big misconceptions: the rates are actually decent in a lot of states, the clients are great (let's stop blaming a population for systemic issues), & compliance is very doable with good systems in place. We also cover what community mental health got wrong, the extra codes you may be able to bill, & why these clients might be exactly who fills that 10am Wednesday spot you've been staring at. If you've written off Medicaid & Medicare, this conversation might open your eyes. Learn more at , , and . Sponsored by TherapyNotesÂŽ: Looking to switch EHRs?

Episode #774: How Many Clients a Week Is Actually Sustainable?
On today's Ask Abundance, Rebecca Smith (Limitless Practice grad) & I dig into a question I get a lot: "Is 15 clients a week enough? Is 30 too many? How do I actually know my number?" Spoiler: your old agency caseload doesn't count. We talk through the real signs your number's too high (it's not just tired, it's snapping-at-your-kids tired), why your fee & your caseload are basically the same decision, & the vacation story that made me realize just how deep the overworking habit can run.

Episode #772: Will the Money Anxiety in Private Practice Ever Actually Go Away?
On today's Ask Abundance, Rebecca Smith (Limitless grad, now on Team Abundance) tackles a question so many of us feel in our bones: "I still get low-grade anxiety every time I look at my bank account, even when things are fine." We each share how we personally handle variable income (we do it totally differently), talk about why separate business & personal accounts are non-negotiable, & the weekly ritual that helps take the zing out of checking your accounts. Does the anxiety ever fully go away? We get into that too. Plus: if you're that anxious about money, there might be a bigger question worth asking.

Maya shares how she built a coalition that became a full 501(c)(3), hired a lobbyist, and is fighting to get LCATs the insurance coverage mandates and diagnostic privileges they deserve. We also talk about how she keeps her practice sustainable while doing all of this, including why staying out of network has given her the flexibility to show up for the advocacy work without burning out completely.

Episode #752: What Smart Therapists Do During Slow Periods (That Others Donât)
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the slow periods nobody warns you about. The summer dips, the post-holiday drop-offs, the stretches where the phone just stops ringing. We get into why it's not a sign you're failing, why the therapist Facebook groups are the worst place to turn when you're spiraling, and how to plan your year so a slow month feels like a reset instead of a red flag. If you've ever watched your caseload dip and convinced yourself your practice is falling apart, this one's for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotesÂŽ: Looking to switch EHRs?

Episode #751: Shifting Your Practice from Good to Great

Episode #751: Shifting Your Practice from Good to Great
In today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with graduates Jasmine, Kate, Aubrey, and Maria about how they transformed their overwhelmed practices into ones that actually work for their lives. We explore what it really looks like on the other side: dropping Medicaid panels, leaving insurance altogether, cutting client loads, raising rates, and finally taking a vacation. We dig into the mindset shifts that made it possible, the discomfort of setting real boundaries, and how learning to use data instead of feelings changed the way they make business decisions. We also cover the power of community, what sustainable caseloads can look like, and how your practice can fund a life you actually want to live. Sponsored by TherapyNotesÂŽ: Looking to switch EHRs?

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?
