How unusual is it that therapists can start their business with virtually NO startup costs? When you stop and think about it…it’s actually pretty cool! Starting part-time with your private practice is very doable with virtual therapy. As therapists, we can start with very little risk or financial investment. But...we can make an INCREDIBLE income for ourselves and our families!  Even if you’r...

I can’t believe I’m recording this episode but..I’ve *officially* had my first 7 figure-year in business! Yep, you read that right - 2024 was a 7 figure-year for me in terms of revenue. Honestly...it’s WILD to think about! Like...that is an insane amount of money. I am SO freaking proud!!! I never thought something like this was possible when I was just starting my Instagram page and private pract...

To kick off the new year, I wanted to share 10 things I want you to stop worrying about on Instagram. I get sooo many questions about these topics, and frankly, they are NOT important.  They’re not things that are going to ‘move the needle’, and really grow your Instagram page like I know you want to.  It’s time to leave this stuff behind in 2024. Instead, let’s focus on what IS going to...

To kick off the new year, I wanted to re-air one of my most popular episodes from 2024. I’m even MORE excited to share this one again, because I can now say that 2024 was my first 7-figure year in business!!  I can’t wait to give you more of a behind-the-scenes look once I have all of my final numbers. In the meantime, enjoy this value-packed episode that will show you what’s REALLY possible...

In honor of Christmas, today’s episode is going to be one of my MOST popular episodes that aired a few months ago!  This time of year is the perfect time to sit down and reflect on what went well and what you want to improve upon for the coming year. I’ve found that being intentional and giving myself permission to do things differently is super important.  This has allowed me to create...

I’ve got an important question for you… When’s the last time you gave yourself a raise? Like... actually raised your therapy rates because you’re really freaking good at what you do?? You work very hard, and I know that you’re a therapist who cares about your clients. In order to be the best for them, though, you must prioritize yourself. You deserve a business that will not only give you job sati...

She’s also 5x her email list, and grown from 400 email list subscribers to almost 2000.

Since being in business, I’ve had 5 really challenging business experiences. But…these hard situations ended up being some of the BEST lessons that I've learned in business! Of course, it wasn’t easy, and it didn’t feel ‘good’ when I was in the thick of it, but I’m super grateful for them, because they made me a better business owner + a more self-assured person outside of work, too. In today’s ep...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing about the good, the bad, & the messy of my third $100k month. I’m super proud of this accomplishment, because let me tell you…between team member challenges, tech issues, and more, September was anything but easy. But we made it happen! I received some awesome questions from my Instagram community about HOW I made $100,000 in one month, so I’m excited to break i...

I started with ZERO followers. I’ve grown both of my Instagram accounts from 0 to 10k in under a year. It took a LOT of trial and error as I was growing my first therapy page (@sitwithkelly), and I for sure made my fair share of mistakes. All of my hard work and consistency helped me have an ‘easier’ experience with my second page.  I’ve learned sooo much along the way, but I’ve also been an...

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the number one driver of results in my business. If I had to sum it up in one word, the number one driver of all my results in my business has been CONSISTENCY.  Consistency probably doesn’t mean (or even look) the same for everyone. I do believe that it’s crucial if you want to continue growing your private practice though! Consistency allows you to buil...

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carrie for seven months now, and I’m sooo proud of what she’s accomplished in that time!

She has a full caseload with dream clients (plus more ready to work with her).&n...

The reality is...building a six-figure business is HARD.  It feels challenging and awkward at first. It takes more time than you think (or would like).  But...just because it feels super hard in the beginning, doesn’t mean you need to burn out in order to grow your Instagram. When you’re hustling and putting in extra effort, it should still be done in a way that feels manageable for YOU!...

The beginning stages of your practice when you're trying to fill your caseload is the absolute hardest time to be in business.  I know the issue of ‘time’ (whether that’s too much or too little) is a big one. And yes...it may be holding you back from growing your private practice. I’ve learned there are certain marketing strategies I would NOT do if I was trying to fill my private practice ca...

One of the things I consistently share on Instagram is my monthly income report. You may have noticed that my income from 1-1 therapy clients isn’t as high as it used to be. In fact...it’s pretty low , which has led people to ask me WHY that is.  Well...that’s because I made the tough decision to see less therapy clients.  You may be thinking ‘why the heck would you do that?!”, or questi...

Even though this isn’t easy to share, I want to give you a behind the scenes look into my August income report. August 2024 was my lowest income month since March 2023. Despite that, I am really, REALLY proud of everything I accomplished in August! In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes of my lowest income month in 1.5 years and WHY that happened. I’m breaking down my revenue and e...

Are you a therapist who’s showing up on Instagram, but you’re not getting the results you want? Maybe you’re already posting content to your page, but your following isn’t growing. Maybe you’re stuck in the ‘200 view jail’ and your engagement feels like it’s never gonna come back. Despite putting in what feels like solid effort, you still haven’t gained a client from Instagram. Trust me - I’ve bee...

It’s time to set the record straight on something... The Instagram algorithm is NOT out to get you! Contrary to popular belief, Instagram is trying to help you. Their primary goal is to keep people on the app for as long as possible. When it comes down to it, the Instagram algorithm cares about human behavior. As therapists, we definitely resonate with this, because WE are experts in human behavio...

Instagram has been the place where I’ve shown up consistently, built genuine connections, and ultimately, grown my business.  I’ve started and grown not only one, but TWO Instagram accounts that grew to 10k followers in under one year. I’ve filled my caseload with private pay clients from Instagram, which led me to earning 250k as a private practice therapist in my very first year.  Now,...

Today’s episode is covering a taboo topic, but it’s also one of my favorites, and the most popular thing I talk about. Yep...I’m talking about MONEY!  I know this is an incredibly vulnerable topic, but I’m excited to share my complete money story in depth here, and show you what my income has looked like at different points in my career over the last several years. I hope this shows YOU what’...
