Is a Financial Plan Really Worth It? Why Every Therapist Needs an Advisor Team

Most therapists don't set out to become entrepreneurs—but running a private practice means you're building a business whether you planned to or not. In this episode, I sit down with business strategist Ryan Duncan to talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable practice without burning yourself out.

We unpack the behind-the-scenes realities therapists face as accidental business owners, why hustle-driven growth eventually breaks down, and how slowing down to build the right foundations can actually move you forward faster. If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure whether your practice is truly supporting your life, this conversation will help you reframe growth and make more intentional decisions for your next stage.
