The Freedom Therapist

Les mer The Freedom Therapist

Each week we’ll go deep on all things business, self, energy and freedom. There's growth, giggles AND tears, as we lean into the best version of our business - and selves too. We’ll also get to chat with some incredibly inspiring women who will generously share their stories on finding that magic. If you’re looking for deep conversations, no gatekeeping, practical advice all with a little bit of chaos, you’re in the right place.I'm your host Mia Poklepovich, a previously burnt out mental health occupational therapist and business owner, who found her way to fall back in love with business and life all over again. This podcast was created to be your safe space to learn AND unlearn all the things about scaling your business, without losing yourself in the process. Each week will be talking about ALL the things. And feeling ALL the feels. Because business is a wild ride, at all stages. So if you need an extra dose of inspo, a soft landing or just a moment to unwind you are SO welcome here. Give yourself permission to take some space for you, and let’s be besties. I can’t wait!

How to Make Money From Your Knowledge & Expertise as a Therapist (And Actually Feel Good About It)

Have you ever had that thought — can I really charge for this? Like, why would someone pay money for this from me? Is it really something people will want? If you have, you are absolutely not alone. And the reason that thought feels so sticky isn't random - it's deeply embedded in the systems and training that shaped us as therapists. In this episode, we're naming it, getting curious about it, and doing the real work of figuring out where it came from. Because that's the work before the work AND it matters more than any strategy I could give you. IN THIS EPISODE: * Why so many therapists feel genuinely icky about charging for their expertise — and why that feeling makes complete sense given how we were trained * How the systems we've worked in have wired us to separate the helping from the money — and what that looks like in our everyday situations. * Why imposter syndrome hits so differently in the therapy profession, and how our evidence-based training can actually keep us stuck in a loop of tweaking and never launching * The reframe that has shifted everything for me and why it's not about becoming greedy, it's about sustainability * Why burnt out, underpaid therapists don't help more people…and what financial stability actually makes possible * The practical exercise you NEED to do this week on your money beliefs— and why the this matters the most if you want to grow KEY TAKEAWAYS: * Charging for your expertise is not at odds with your values — it's what keeps you in the profession long enough to actually change lives. * The work before the work is the mindset work — you can have the best digital product in the world sitting in a folder, but if your nervous system is still wired to give it away for free, it stays there. * Really good therapists making really good money do really good things with it — financial stability means capacity for complex clients, supervision, growth, and staying in love with this work.
