A 19-year-old client sits on his couch staring at a wall for 8 hours a day. He's been in therapy for two years. He's planned his suicide for his 20th birthday. Traditional therapy isn't working. Three ketamine sessions later, he's dating someone, has a job, and is learning to snowboard. This isn't a miracle story. It's Tuesday for Dori Lewis. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dori Lewis — licensed professional counselor, clinical supervisor, and co-founder of Elemental Psychedeli...

You've launched your signature program. You know it works. But there's a massive gap between people saying "I'm interested" and actually pulling out their credit card for $2,000. What if there's a way to bridge that gap—not by discounting your course—but by creating "quick win offers" that actually make people MORE likely to buy your signature program? Welcome back to Tuesday Tiny Wins—where we get straight to the point with one tool you can implement TODAY. In this episode, we discuss: The trus...

The system you dedicated your career to was designed wrong from the beginning. Not broken — designed wrong . 970 million people globally need mental health support. We have approximately 1 million mental health professionals. The math isn't just broken — it reveals a system that was never built to serve the people who need it most. In this paradigm-shifting episode, I expose the uncomfortable truth: Mental Health 1.0 was designed for social control. Mental Health 2.0 was designed for good intent...

You were trained to stay quiet. To follow rules written for a world that no longer exists. To accept that your expertise should be sanitized into beige compliance. But what if everything you've been told about "staying safe" is actually keeping you small? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I pull back the curtain on what happened after my viral LinkedIn post broke the internet — and more importantly, what it revealed about the quiet revolution already happening in mental health. When therapists ge...

You were trained to think psychology equals therapy chair. To believe "business skills" are something other people have. To accept that your expertise stops at the consulting room door. But what if everything you've been told about your limitations is wrong? In this game-changing conversation, I sit down with Carly Fisher — registered psychologist, government executive, board director, and living proof that therapists possess the exact skills businesses pay consultants millions for. Carly went f...

You were trained to be ethical. To follow the rules. To keep yourself out of the spotlight and let the system guide the way. But what happens when the system itself is no longer fit for purpose? In this milestone episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a truth I’ve been sitting with for a long time — and the reckoning that finally made me say, “I can’t keep pretending this is working.” This isn’t a celebration. It’s a confession. A call to those of us who’ve felt the discomfort of playing small...

Ever find yourself sabotaging your own success the moment things start working? Yeah, I see you there - saying no to opportunities that could expand your reach, undercharging like it's a badge of honor, or suddenly deciding your perfectly good program needs to be "better" before you can launch it. Here's the thing nobody talks about in our field: you're not afraid of failing. You're terrified of succeeding. And after working with hundreds of therapists trying to break free from the traditional o...

Your calendar is overwhelming. Your nervous system is fried. Every decision - from what email to send to whether you should hire someone - feels exhausting. And every piece of business advice tells you to "step into your CEO energy" or "think like a boss"... but that feels completely wrong in your body. What if the problem isn't that you're not cut out for leadership? What if the problem is that you've only been shown one model of what leadership looks like—and it sucks? This is Episode 2 of our...

You did it. You mapped the modules. Built the curriculum. Maybe even sold out your first launch. Your course, program, or offer is live—and people actually bought it. So… why do you feel so weird?

You’ve built your course. Your modules are mapped, your portal’s prepped, your curriculum is solid. And then someone asks: “So… where’s the community space?” Cue the existential spiral. Because as a therapist, “community” doesn’t just mean “extra feature.” It means emotional responsibility. Boundary navigation. And the very real possibility that you’ll end up holding space you never consented to. But here’s the truth most business coaches skip: When done well, a community component can dramatica...

It starts off sounding perfect. Create a course once. Let it sell itself. Finally step off the therapy treadmill and wake up to payment notifications instead of a full caseload. But what no one tells you? Most therapists who try that route end up with a silent checkout page and a whole lot of self-doubt. If you’ve ever wondered why your course isn’t selling - or whether this whole “passive income” thing is even real for someone like you - this episode is for you. We’re digging into the truth beh...

So… someone told you to start a Facebook group to grow your audience. And you did it. You picked a cute name. Made a welcome post. Maybe even went live (sweating bullets but pretending it was chill). And then… crickets. Or worse - an entire digital ghost town of lurkers, silent members, and zero sales. If that’s you - this episode is your permission slip and your reality check. Because while Facebook groups are pitched as a must-have lead generation strategy in the online business world, for the...

Somewhere between your fifth Canva graphic and your third platform login of the day, you started wondering… “Is this what it takes to be seen?” Because apparently, if you’re not on Instagram and TikTok and LinkedIn and Threads — you're falling behind. Or invisible. Or both. But here’s the thing: For therapists, “visibility” isn’t just about reach. It’s about safety. And when the business world screams “just show up more,” your nervous system whispers, “at what cost?” This episode is your loving ...

So… apparently therapists are being replaced by chatbots now. Clients are rolling into sessions with ChatGPT transcripts like, “This helped more than our last three appointments. Oh, and it’s free.” Yeah. That’s happening. And if you’re even mildly freaking out, you’re not being dramatic. You’re being awake . In this episode, I’m not here to sprinkle affirmations over your fear or convince you to go become a tech bro. I’m here to talk about the real threat to therapists — and spoiler: it’s not A...
