107. Claude Fable 5 Asked Me the Questions My $300/Hour Coach Used To 08.07.2026

Claude Fable 5 has been everywhere on your feed these past weeks, with AI gurus swearing it was your last chance to try Anthropic's smartest model before July 7th. I saw the same countdown timers and red arrows you probably did, and before I said a word about it to my own community, I had my AI fact-check the claim first. What I found changed the whole story I was about to tell, and it also h...

106. Using AI to Run Your Business Without a Team with Sally Riggs 01.07.2026

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I sit down with Sally Riggs to talk about using AI to run your business when y...

105. Creating a Social Media Comment Agent to Help With Boosting the Algorithm 24.06.2026

If you have ever wished you could hand off the daily grind of engaging on Instagram, a social media comment agent might be the thing you didn't know you were missing. Keeping up with social media is exhausting, and the part nobody really talks about is how much time it takes to thoughtfully engage with other people's content so the algorithm actually pays attention to you. In this episod...

104. AI Automations for Passive Income and Easier Content 17.06.2026

A slow work week is usually a gift in disguise.

That is exactly what happened to me this week while I was traveling to see family. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I...

103. My Top Three AI Tools Right Now; Wispr Flow, Littlebird, and Canva Connector in Claude Cowork 10.06.2026

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk you th...

102. AI and Energy Use, the Real Story Therapists Aren’t Looking At 03.06.2026

The conversation around AI and energy use has gotten loud, and if you care about the planet, it can leave you feeling guilty every time you reach for a tool that would actually save you from burnout.

101. The Real Cost of AI Agents (And How I Cut Mine to Almost $0) 27.05.2026

AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they can quietly drain your credits way faster than you expect. That surprise overage bill is more common than these platforms want you to know. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing exactly what happened when Perplexity and Manus started charging me in ways I didn't anticipate, and the simple fix that moved my entire aut...

100. How I Built a Chrome Extension in 24 Hours Without Writing a Single Line of Code 20.05.2026

99. Are Trademarks Dead? 13.05.2026

AI tools have made it easier than ever to build, create, and scale, but they've also made it harder to protect what you build.

I'll walk you through exactly wh...

98. How to Use the ChatGPT Image Generator in Your Private Practice 06.05.2026

96. What Therapists Get Wrong About HIPAA Compliance AI Tools 22.04.2026

95. AI Is Replacing Therapists Faster Than We Think 15.04.2026

AI is replacing therapists, and if you've been noticing fewer new intakes or a lighter caseload, this might be exactly why. Clients are already turning to ChatGPT between sessions to vent, process, and get quick support. Fast, free, and available on demand. That's a hard thing to compete with if we keep running the same model. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'...
