HHW Therapists 44 - 4 Lessons from Scaling My Coaching Business

Amanda pulls back the curtain on what scaling her coaching business actually looked like, including the four lessons she wishes someone had told her way earlier. She gets into why spending big before you've proven your concept is a trap, why complexity feels like progress but usually isn't, why hustle culture is just burnout with better branding, and why following someone else's blueprint to the letter can leave you building something you end up resenting. If you've ever looked at someone further along and wondered how they make it look easy, this episode is the honest answer to that question.

HHW Therapists 43 - What's Actually Working in Launches Right Now

Amanda wraps up the Summer Spark series by getting into what actually makes a launch work, and why most therapists unknowingly sabotage their own. She walks through the four core launch levers: bonuses, payment plans, guarantees, and urgency and scarcity, and breaks down how to use each one in a way that fits a therapist's business specifically. She also names the thing that trips most people up, which is learning the mechanics without thinking through how they apply to your specific offer, audience, and revenue goals. If you've launched something and it underperformed, or you're getting ready to put something out into the world for the first time, this episode gives you the framework to do it right.

HHW Therapists 42 - What Starting a Second Business Actually Costs

Amanda Buduris tackles one of the most common fears therapists have about building a second income stream: how much is this actually going to cost? She breaks down what you genuinely need to spend money on at the starting phase, what you can skip until your business earns the right to grow, and how your investment profile should change as your revenue does. She also gets into the cost nobody talks about enough, which is the cost of not investing at the right time. Whether you want to add therapy intensives, build a coaching offer, or create a digital product, this episode gives you a realistic picture of what lean startup actually looks like and what the path forward looks like from there.

HHW Therapists 40 - Should Therapists Add Coaching?

Amanda gets into one of the most common questions she hears from therapists: should you add coaching to your practice? This isn't a vague "it depends" answer. She walks through the real pros and cons, what therapists consistently get wrong when making this decision, and the four questions you need to answer before you build anything. The pros are genuine: more creative freedom, higher income ceiling, and the ability to use more of what you already know. But the cons are just as real. Protecting your license, unpredictable ROI, client expectations, and the reality of building a second business from scratch all deserve serious thought. If you've been on the fence about adding coaching, this is the honest conversation you actually needed.
