In this episode, I sit down with registered dietitian and sports nutrition expert Kristen Zeismer to talk about the critical intersection of mental health and nutrition for therapists and their clients. Kristen unpacks the concept of RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and explains how therapists can recognize signs of under-fueling and disordered eating - even when it doesn’t meet the criteria for a clinical eating disorder. We discuss how diet culture and body image issues can impact therapy sessions and how mindful eating can support both emotional and physical health.
As a therapist myself, I know how important it is to have tools that help us navigate conversations around nutrition, especially when working with teen athletes or clients affected by social media-driven misinformation. Kristen offers valuable tips for integrating holistic health into therapy, including when and how to make appropriate referrals to specialists in sports nutrition or disordered eating.
If you're looking to enhance your practice with insights on nutrition, therapy tools, and supporting client wellness from a truly integrative perspective, this episode is packed with continuing education value.

In this episode of The Therapy Show, I sit down with Yerachmiel Stern, LCSW, Executive Director and CEO of Pesach Tikvah: Door of Hope. Yerachmiel shares his incredible journey from therapist to clinic leader and offers deep insights into building and expanding faith-based mental health clinics. We talk about how his organization serves a primarily Orthodox Jewish community while also supporting diverse underserved populations across New York.
We dive into the nuances of recruiting clinicians who are not only clinically skilled but culturally and generationally attuned to their clients’ needs. Yerachmiel also breaks down the importance of flexible work environments, understanding therapist work styles, and the unique challenges of creating serene, spa-like spaces even within nonprofit settings.
In this episode, Yerachmiel covers:
- How to build faith-based clinics that meet both cultural expectations and clinical standards.
- Strategies for recruiting therapists that match client needs—mirroring, complementary, or culturally resonant opposites.
- The necessity of flexible work models to accommodate faith-based lifestyle norms.
- Addressing generational differences in therapist work styles and expectations (Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z).
- Why recruiting a “blank canvas” can be more effective than chasing credentials alone.
- How to assess interviewees beyond the interview polish to find true potential.
- Building long-term clinician loyalty by investing emotionally and structurally in staff.
- The logistics of serving in-school mental health programs and maintaining outreach across diverse NYC communities.
If you're a therapist, practice owner, or curious about building faith-integrated mental health services, this episode offers real-world strategies and a refreshing perspective.

I'm so glad you're here for another episode of The Therapy Show! After a little spring break getaway with my family (including a visit to the incredible Frida Kahlo exhibit in Richmond—highly recommend!), I’m back and ready to dive into something I hear from so many of you: feeling overwhelmed by the news.
If you’ve ever wanted to just tune it all out, trust me—you are not alone. The nonstop headlines, the urgency, the crises—it can feel like too much for anyone’s nervous system. But today, I’m unpacking why avoiding the news isn’t the long-term solution and how we can build a healthier, more resilient relationship with the world around us.
Together, we’ll explore what happens in your brain and body when the news feels like too much, and I’ll share practical tools to help you stay informed without feeling emotionally drained. I’m pulling some insights straight from my Coping with Political Stress & Anxiety Workbook, including setting media boundaries, choosing calm sources, and reflecting on your emotional responses.
This episode is your invitation to stop running from the noise and learn how to walk through it with intention—building strength, resilience, and clarity along the way.

I’m thrilled to welcome back my friend and fellow therapist Rose Skeeters for another powerful conversation—this time as part of the Just Therapy podcast series. This series is all about values-driven mental health, rooted in family, faith, and tradition. Whether you're a therapist or someone seeking real, practical insights, you're in the right place.
Rose and I dive deep into the cultural trends impacting mental health today—from Insta-therapy soundbites and boundary-setting overload to the lost art of character development and true emotional resilience. We talk about the rise in narcissistic messaging, the erosion of empathy, and the importance of being grounded in truth, morality, and meaningful relationships.
You’ll hear Rose share her journey from struggling with emotional regulation and borderline personality disorder to living a grounded, spiritually-centered life. She brings so much wisdom to the table, especially for teens and young adults who are seeking something more than what mainstream culture is offering. We also touch on parenting, the role of fathers, social media for teens, and how to help the next generation grow into people of strong character.
This one’s for anyone who’s tired of shallow self-help advice and is ready for a deeper, more meaningful path to mental wellness.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) presents in a wide range of subtypes and intensities—and effective treatment requires skill, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms. In this compelling Podcourse, I’m joined by Dr. Johann D’Souza, a clinical psychologist and OCD specialist, to explore the science and art of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy through the lens of traditional values.
This episode contains hypothetical scenarios and examples that some listeners may find explicit or sensitive. These discussions are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to offend or shock. Listener discretion is advised.

Dr. D’Souza offers a comprehensive and practical breakdown of how ERP works, how to tailor it to the individual client, and how to apply it across various OCD subtypes—including contamination, harm, scrupulosity, and taboo fears. He also shares how integrating a values-based framework into ERP can build trust with clients and support long-term recovery.
This episode will equip mental health professionals with an in-depth understanding of how to design ERP hierarchies, conduct imaginal exposures ethically and effectively, and overcome treatment barriers like poor insight, family accommodation, and avoidance. You’ll also learn how to use storytelling, mindfulness, and exposure mapping to optimize outcomes and empower clients to become their own therapists.
If you’re a clinician looking to expand your OCD treatment toolkit and appreciate the importance of aligning therapy with client values, this Podcourse is for you.
By listening to this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Develop client-centered exposure and response prevention (ERP) exercises for at least four OCD subtypes, design response prevention strategies for common compulsions, and create effective ERP hierarchies to guide treatment progression.
- Apply principles of graduated exposure and response prevention to optimize client outcomes, while evaluating factors that contribute to less effective treatment, such as family accommodation and overvalued ideation.
- Differentiate between OCD subtypes and assess how ERP can be tailored to address specific obsessional fears, while demonstrating strategies to enhance client adherence and long-term success.

Here are some of the key points we dive into:
- Understanding High-Driven Clients: Ryan shares what he’s learned about the unique challenges faced by wealthy, high-achieving clients—like confidentiality concerns, fear of failure, and the drive to always maintain success.
- Unique Therapeutic Needs: Many of these clients feel isolated and struggle to find safe spaces for personal issues since most of their relationships are work-related. Ryan emphasizes that confidentiality is crucial in building trust with this demographic.
- Therapist Bias: We discuss how therapists may unintentionally bring biases into sessions with wealthy clients, often because these clients don’t fit into typical therapeutic frameworks. Ryan shares ways to overcome these biases to better serve this group.
- Scheduling Flexibility: For clients with intense, unpredictable schedules, Ryan explains the importance of adapting therapy hours to meet their needs, even if it means unconventional session times.
- Premium Pricing Strategy: Ryan explains why it’s essential for therapists to consider premium pricing when working with high-net-worth clients, as they often gauge value based on the level of investment.
- Marketing to a Niche: We talk about Ryan’s new course, The Pursuit of Success: Counseling Highly Driven/Highly Successful Clients with Confidence, which teaches therapists how to reach this unique clientele with effective marketing strategies and business insights.

In this episode of The Therapy Show, I welcome Dr. Aliza Goldstein, a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders. She dives deep into the intricacies of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, shedding light on its varied manifestations and the most effective treatments currently available.

Dr. Goldstein expertly unpacks the principles of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, explaining how this approach helps to disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.

In this episode I explore the transformative power of positive self-talk and its impact on mental health and emotional well-being. I dive into the nuances of nurturing a positive inner dialogue while cautioning against the pitfalls of toxic positivity.
Before jumping into the main topic of this episode, I address a few listener questions: 1. How can you and I work together? 2. What are my intentions for 2024? 3. What podcasts do I listen to?
I emphasize the importance of our inner dialogue in shaping our perception and experiences. I distinguish between positive self-talk, which is about facing challenges with a learning mindset, and toxic positivity, which invalidates genuine emotions.
I provide a practical exercise based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles to transform negative self-thoughts. The exercise involves identifying negative thoughts, labeling them as unhelpful, providing evidence to the contrary, thinking of an opposing viewpoint, and editing the thought to be healthier. I walk you through an example to demonstrate this process, showing how to shift from self-doubt to self-empowerment.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in enhancing their emotional health, understanding the impact of self-talk, and seeking practical strategies for personal growth and mental resilience.

Hi everyone, it's Lisa Mustard here, welcoming you back to "The Therapy Show." As a podcaster, mom, wife, licensed therapist, life coach, and a personal development junkie, I'm thrilled to guide you through setting meaningful intentions for 2024. This episode is all about leveraging mental wellness practices for counselors, their clients, and anyone eager to level up their emotional health. I've also got a special treat for you – my free ebook on supporting mental health.
This January, I'm switching things up by releasing more episodes than my usual weekly schedule. These episodes are packed with actionable tips to help you live your best life. Remember, not every tip will resonate with everyone, and that's okay. The idea is to pick what works for you and put it into action.
Now, let's talk about setting intentions for 2024. Unlike resolutions, which often focus on specific achievements, intentions are about aligning our daily actions with our broader life values. I'm a big believer in alignment and living an authentic life, and that's what I want to share with you.
Here's how we can set our intentions: 1. Reflect on the past year – think about your successes, challenges, and the lessons you've learned. 2. Identify your values – figure out what's truly important to you. 3. Visualize your ideal year – this helps in creating a clear mental image of what we're aiming for. 4. Set clear and realistic intentions – these should be based on your values and the vision you've created. 5. Create an actionable plan – break down your intentions into daily, weekly, or monthly steps. 6.

In my latest episode, I explore the critical issue of boys' mental health, drawing inspiration from Jonathan Haidt's research. (Find the article here.) I delve into the significant shift from physical to digital activities since the 1970s and its impact on the mental and social development of young boys and men. I discuss the challenges posed by the digital world, including video games and smartphones, and emphasize the importance of balancing this with real-world interactions. I highlight the role of parents in modeling healthy behaviors and setting standards for technology use, physical activity, and emotional expression.
I give practical advice for parents to support their sons, including encouraging physical activities, understanding different learning styles, and fostering social connections. I stress the importance of teaching boys to express their emotions healthily and building resilience through problem-solving and independence. Additionally, I remind parents to be vigilant about signs of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues in their sons.

In this episode we are discussing the transformative power of plant medicine.
My guest is a very skilled plant medicine healer; however due to the laws around psychedelics we are keeping his identity underwraps. So for this episode, his name is Pedro which he picked after the plant he works with, the san pedro cactus.
Pedro shares his personal journey, revealing what drew him to the sacred work of plant medicine. He discusses the various substances and the deep relationships formed during ceremonies. He also gives you a glimpse into the rituals and experiences.
For therapists, he will offer insights on working with individuals post-experience, emphasizing the importance of containment and allowing the experience to naturally unfold.

This is a brand-new format and something I've been wanting to create for quite some time. This week's episode is a guided meditation.
I listen to guided meditations when I have issues going to sleep, and since October 7th, I've had trouble falling asleep. Usually, I turn to the Mindfulness app and pick a meditation or music and within a few minutes, I'm relaxed and asleep.
I have been thinking about writing my own guided meditations and I just went ahead and decided, you know what? I'm doing it! And with everything that is going on in the world right now, I'm hearing from a lot of you that you're having a hard time with anxiety. You're having a hard time with feelings of sadness, and I totally understand.
This guided meditation should not be listened to while driving or when you want energy. It's best for when you want to relax and fall asleep.
I hope you enjoy this guided meditation and it helps you! If you'd like more guided meditations, send me an email: lisa@lisamustard.com and let me know.

In this episode, we are diving deep into a topic that is not only pivotal for therapists and coaches but is the linchpin for any successful practice - discovering and marketing to your Target Audience.
In our professional journey, understanding who we are speaking to, who we are trying to help, and who we want to attract is paramount. But the path to identifying your ideal client isn’t always clear-cut, is it? That’s where today’s episode comes into play.
We'll kick things off by demystifying what a 'target audience' really is, and we’re not stopping at definitions! We’ll explore real-world examples and dissect the subtle, yet crucial differences between your scope of practice, niche, target, and ideal client.
Moving forward, we’ll delve into the 'why' - why having a well-defined target audience is not just beneficial, but essential to the growth and sustainability of your practice. We’ll navigate through the target analogy and discuss a couple of exceptions where having a Target Audience might not be the recommended route.
And of course, the meat of our discussion will revolve around the 'how'. How do you, as therapists and coaches, discover your target audience? How do you sift through the universal to find the unique – The 'Universal You' to be precise? We’ll explore strategic questions and methods to not only identify but also connect deeply with your Target Audience.
This journey is not one you need to embark on alone. For those of you seeking a helping hand, Rebekah Hudson is here to assist. With her expertise as a marketing professional and copywriter, specializing in the mental health industry, she offers consulting services to help you identify and narrow down your Target Audience. And for those who need a wordsmith to craft organic, SEO-friendly copy that resonates with your audience, Rebekah is just a message away. Learn more about Rebekah here.
So, buckle up as we navigate through the nuances of target audiences, ensuring your message not only reaches the right ears but also, profoundly connects and converts. Let’s dive in!

Throughout the conversation, Aaron and Nathan bring forth personal anecdotes, emphasizing the critical roles of emotional regulation, responsiveness, and open communication in effective parenting.
The episode underscores the significance of self-awareness, not only for individual development but also for fostering a healthy parent-child relationship. A key takeaway is the caution against burdening children with personal anxieties.

This is quite a unique episode. It’s about an hour-long conversation that Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, had with a group of mental health clinicians. He’s sharing his IFS model and taking questions from the group. The group is Mondays with Moshe and you’ll hear from its creator, Moshe Norman, in just a few minutes. But I wanted to tell you a few things about the episode before you get to the main content.
This is a recording of a live conversation. The audio at times isn’t the best. However, it’s clear enough that you should be able to make out what is being said and asked. Dr Scwartz’s audio is great but some of the audio from the group is a little fuzzy or just not so clear.
The group is composed of mental health clinicians who are mainly Jewish so you may hear some phrases or words that you aren’t familiar with however the content shared is definitely clinical and not from a religious perspective. If you’re unsure of what something means or you’re curious to learn more, feel free to reach out to me at lisa at lisamustard.com.
And one more thing, the information provided is solely for educational purposes and should not be a substitute for any work you are doing with your doctor or therapist.

Today, I have a truly special guest. An award-winning author, a captivating speaker, a dedicated teacher, and a sought-after consultant, Dr. Avrum Weiss has left an indelible mark on the world of psychotherapy. Nationally celebrated for his pioneering efforts in experiential psychotherapy and his revolutionary insights into the theory of change, Dr. Weiss has not only shaped the field but has also mentored hundreds, introducing them to a more personal, relational model of psychotherapy.
In recent years, he's turned his attention to a topic that's both intriguing and essential: understanding the internal lives of men and the intricate dynamics between men and women. His latest book, 'Hidden in Plain Sight: How Men’s Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships', offers profound insights into this very subject.
And when he's not penning transformative works or guiding the next generation of therapists, you can find him enjoying the serene beauty of an island in the mid-coast of Maine, accompanied by his wife and their loyal canine companion.

Today, I have a truly special guest with me. She's not just a group practice owner but also a consultant, and the soulful voice behind the 'Soul Care for Therapists' podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Dawn Gabriel.
Dawn's passion isn't just limited to therapy. She's on a mission: to help therapists delve deeper into their spirituality and faith, ensuring they lead sustainable lives both in and out of their practice. She believes that for therapists to truly transform lives, they too need a sacred space to rejuvenate and let go.
And it's not all work and no play for Dawn. Picture this: a serene Colorado trail, a book in one hand, a cup of chai in the other, and maybe later, a deep conversation over a glass of wine. That's Dawn for you, always seeking depth, whether she's with her husband and two boys on an adventure or just taking a moment for herself.
In this episode, Dawn discusses the therapist matrix - how she developed it and how it can help us be better therapists. Learn more about Dawn and get the Therapist Matrix here: FAITH FRINGES Soul Care For Therapists

In this episode of 'The Therapy Show with Lisa Mustard,' I delve into the profound lessons I've learned as I step into my 50s.
-
Self-Acceptance: I've discovered the power of self-acceptance in my 40s, and now at 50, it feels even more solidified. I've learned to recognize my strengths and weaknesses and work with them, not against them. Self-acceptance doesn't mean complacency, but rather acknowledging where I am now and the potential for growth.
-
Prioritizing Health: In my 40s, I realized the importance of living an optimal and vibrant healthy life. I've maintained strength training and healthy eating, which have helped me cope with midlife hormonal shifts. I've also focused on quality sleep and stress management. I believe it's never too late to get into shape, and I'm living proof of that.
-
Value of Time: I've gained a deeper appreciation for the value of time and the importance of spending it with loved ones and on activities that truly matter. Balancing my time between work, family, and this podcast has been a challenge, but it's a challenge I'm learning to navigate.
-
Resilience: By the age of 50, I've gone through a variety of life's ups and downs, which have taught me resilience. These experiences have not only made me a better therapist but also a stronger woman. I've learned that I can do hard things, I can choose to grow, and I have choices.
-
Life-Long Learning: In my 40s, I learned how to podcast, market my courses, and secure a sponsor for my show. As I step into my 50s, I'm excited to see what new skills and experiences await me, starting with my new interest!
Join me in this episode as I share these lessons and how they've shaped my journey. Subscribe to 'The Therapy Show with Lisa Mustard' to stay updated with all my latest episodes.

In this episode we're diving into the intersection of technology and therapy, exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence to augment our therapeutic work. In particular, we're focusing on ChatGPT, an AI developed by OpenAI, and how it can be utilized in private practice by generating prompts.
Listen to the episode with Kym Tolson.
Get ALL THE PODCOURSES for $30!
First, ChatGPT can aid in understanding specific therapeutic techniques. For example, a therapist could ask: 'ChatGPT, can you help me understand how cognitive behavioral therapy techniques can be effectively utilized for a client struggling with anxiety and panic attacks? What are some possible exercises or strategies we can work through?' In response, ChatGPT might offer explanations of exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, or relaxation techniques that could be useful for the client.
Second, ChatGPT can assist in formulating questions to help explore a client's self-perception. A therapist could say, 'ChatGPT, I have a new client who is struggling with self-esteem issues. Can you generate some questions that I could use during our sessions?' ChatGPT could then suggest questions like 'What are three personal strengths you believe you possess?' or 'How do you react when you make a mistake?' to help the therapist gain insights into the client's self-perception.
Third, ChatGPT can provide explanations of complex therapeutic modalities. For instance, 'ChatGPT, could you provide me with an explanation of the fundamentals of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy?' In response, it might offer a breakdown of the eight phases of EMDR or suggest practical examples of its use in trauma therapy.
Fourth, ChatGPT can be useful for preparing group therapy sessions. A therapist could ask: 'ChatGPT, I'm seeing an increase in clients dealing with workplace stress. Can you provide an outline for a possible group therapy session that focuses on developing coping strategies and building resilience?' It might then outline a session incorporating stress management techniques, role-play exercises, and group discussions.
Lastly, ChatGPT can support in developing a treatment plan. The prompt could be: 'ChatGPT, I need some help to create a treatment plan for a patient suffering from severe social anxiety. Can you provide some guidance?' From there, it could suggest steps including initial rapport building, psychoeducation, skills training, cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and maintenance.
In all these ways, AI like ChatGPT can serve as an invaluable resource for therapists, supplementing our skills and knowledge. It's not about replacing the human connection, which is central to therapy, but about leveraging technology to enhance it. As always, any use of AI should prioritize confidentiality and ethical considerations.

Welcome to "The Art of Reinventing Yourself in Midlife," where I share my tips for finding new paths and embracing change. In today's episode, I delve into five key strategies to help you navigate the journey of reinventing yourself in midlife.
On my quest for reinvention, I discovered that self-reflection is the cornerstone. Embrace those deep thoughts and ask yourself, "What brings me joy? What skills do I want to develop?" It's time to embark on a journey aligned with your authentic self. Maybe writing is your newfound passion—imagine a career as a freelance writer or a blog where your expertise shines!
As I continued my exploration, I uncovered the importance of seeking opportunities for learning and growth. No matter your age, learning keeps the fire within burning bright! Enroll in online courses, attend workshops, or find mentors who fuel your hunger for knowledge. Picture yourself capturing the world through a camera lens, thanks to a photography course or a local photography club. The possibilities for reinvention are endless!
My adventure wouldn't be complete without cultivating a supportive network. Surround yourself with like-minded souls who cheer you on and believe in your dreams. Join networking groups, attend conferences, and connect with mentors who inspire and guide you. Picture the incredible insights and collaboration opportunities that await you in mastermind groups or vibrant online forums. Together, we're unstoppable!
As I trekked onward, I discovered the secret sauce: embracing flexibility and adaptability. Change can be intimidating, but it's where the magic happens. Embrace it with open arms, turning setbacks into stepping stones. If you stumble along your new career path, don't fret! Stay nimble, adjust your approach, and explore alternative routes. With resilience and perseverance, you'll conquer any challenge.
And last but not least: taking action and setting goals! Dreams are fantastic, but concrete steps and goals make them come to life. Identify those achievable milestones and break them down into actionable steps. Each small victory brings you closer to your reinvention. From completing a business plan to launching your product or service, every milestone is worth celebrating!
In conclusion, I embarked on an exhilarating journey of self-discovery and transformation. These strategies provided the compass to navigate the path of reinvention. Embrace self-reflection, seek opportunities for growth, cultivate a supportive network, adapt to change, and take action by setting goals. Your reinvention story is unfolding, one exciting step at a time!

Ready to dive into the world of podcourses? In this episode, I'm going to break it down for you.
First things first, let's talk about the technical aspects. To create your own podcourse or self-study course, you'll need a learning management system. If you're just testing the waters and don't want to commit to a platform like Teachable or Kajabi right away, I recommend checking out FreshLearn (affiliate link).They have an all-in-one platform and offer a free trial for you to test it out and see if it suits your needs.
Now, let's discuss recording your content. Do you prefer audio, video, or both? Personally, I like to keep it simple and use Zoom to record my podcourses. Once I have the content, I pass it on to my editor, who works her magic on it. If you're a busy therapist like me, I highly recommend outsourcing the editing process. If you need help finding an editor, I can connect you with mine, Chelsea. She's fantastic and very helpful. Connect with Chelsea Weaver Podcasting.
Alright, let's move on to the content and the steps to get approved as a continuing education provider. I want to share a great resource with you—an episode by Dr. David Hall and James Marland called "Scaling Your Therapy Practice with Continuing Education Courses." They explain different ways to become an approved provider and provide valuable insights. I highly recommend giving it a listen after you finish here.
Now, when it comes to content, I'll share what I did to get approved by NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors). Head over to the NBCC website and explore their CE Provider information. It's all laid out there for you. It may take some time to read through it carefully and understand what you need to do, but it's not too difficult.
Here's a quick overview of what you'll need to know if you're aiming for self-study approved provider status. You must create your self-study course before applying. NBCC wants to see your course as a customer would experience it. This includes your landing page, sales page, course materials, and more.
Now, let's talk about choosing your topic. It's up to you, but I suggest starting with a topic that all therapists need. You'll also need to define your learning objectives, create a knowledge test, include a course evaluation, and offer a certificate of completion.
Who will present the material? Will it be you or someone else? Regardless, make sure to follow the NBCC guidelines for presenters. You can find all the details in the provider policy.
The amount of continuing education credit you offer depends on the length of your content. You'll need at least 60 minutes of content for 1 contact hour or 1 CE credit.
Once your course is ready, upload the content to your learning management system and test everything to ensure it works smoothly. Then, submit the course along with the necessary paperwork to NBCC and wait for their response. You may need to make some changes or edits to meet their requirements, but they are usually very helpful throughout the process.
If your course gets approved, they will provide instructions on how to proceed. Now it's time to market your course and hopefully start making sales. Remember, marketing is crucial, so be prepared to put in some effort to spread the word about your amazing courses.
I'll cover marketing in another episode and share what I've done to successfully sell my podcourses. Stay tuned for that!
I hope this episode has been helpful to you. If you're interested in getting continuing education going as a side income and want support from me, feel free to email me at lisa@lisamustard.com to set up a consultation.

In this episode of Therapy Show, I discuss the impact of social media on mental health, particularly for teens and preteens. I highlight an article by Jean Twenge and Jonathan Haidt, which argues that the rise in teen depression rates coincides with the widespread adoption of smartphones and social media. The Surgeon General's Office also released a report highlighting the association between social media use and harm to young people's mental health.
I emphasize the importance of setting limits and rules around phone and social media use for children, as each family's approach may differ. As parents, it is our responsibility to put things in place that limit the amount of time our kids are spending on their smartphones and social media. I also share my personal experience of taking a digital detox and the benefits of disconnecting from social media.
A digital detox refers to intentionally taking a break from electronic devices and screens, creating a designated time and space for individuals and families to disconnect and focus on activities that promote quality time and connection. Digital detoxes provide an opportunity for families to reconnect, communicate, and engage in activities that foster meaningful connections.
I also highlight the benefits of taking regular breaks from screens, including better communication and bonding, improved mental health and well-being, and increased creativity and imagination.
Better Screen Time suggests that parents of teens should use a slow and phased process with personal devices and smartphones and delay social media for as long as possible, reinforce positive choices and use poor ones as an opportunity to teach and connect, and create boundaries that work for your teen. For preteens, parents can reinforce family values and help children identify personal values, provide opportunities for children to pursue personal passions, build skills, and learn to unwind without a screen, and teach valuable tech skills such as typing, coding, graphic design, art, learning a skill online or connecting safely with friends and family on a family device.
To prevent society's mental health crisis, let's let our kids be kids a little longer. Delay the smartphones. Delay social media. Give your family a digital detox.

In this episode I'm sharing the 5 reasons you need to have an email list - seriously this is one of my favorite topics because without an email list, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
But before we dive in, I want to share a personal experience from last week.
Last week we were in Orlando Florida for a volleyball tournament, and I rarely checked social media. It was so nice to disconnect from the noise and distractions of social media. So nice in fact, it’s been hard for me to log back on now that we’re back home.
During this social media hiatus, I sold a few podcourses and connected with some potential guests. I only posted on social media one time.
Whenever I step away from the constant scroll and swipe, it allows me to truly immerse myself in the world of email marketing, creating meaningful connections and nurturing relationships with my subscribers.
This reminded me of the incredible potential we have to connect with our audience on a deeper level, beyond the surface-level engagement of social media algorithms. Email provides a serene and intimate space where we can share valuable content, insights, and offers that truly resonate with our subscribers.
So, let's embrace the wisdom gained from my own vacation experience. Let's explore the fantastic reasons why having an email list is not just a marketing strategy, but a profound means of building authentic connections with our audience.
Listen to the episode to hear the 5 reasons you need an email list.

In the email series I also cover ideas of how to grow your emal list, what types of lead magnets work to grow your list as well the mindset you need to cultivate when stepping outside of the therapy room and pivoting your skill set.

In this episode of the Therapy Show, I share my approach to staying healthy and fit as a busy mom in her 50s. I discuss the importance of lifting weights to preserve muscle mass, which decreases as we age. I also stress the importance of eating healthy and meal prepping, focusing on a higher protein diet and unprocessed carbs like starchy vegetables, rice, and quinoa. I recommend prioritizing vegetables and fruits, and buying organic when possible. I also advise against overdoing exercise and encourage listeners to prepare for menopause by controlling stress, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.
I share resources like Mind Pump Media, Fighterdiet, Bret Contreras and Katie Sonier for weightlifting programs and suggest that an efficient weightlifting workout can be done in 35-40 minutes. I also share my meal prep routine, which includes using a crockpot to make a variety of meals with chicken, ground beef, and brisket, and involving family members in the process to make it a fun and enjoyable experience.
I emphasize the importance of consistency in exercise and eating healthy when you want optimal and vibrant health, at any age. I encourage listeners to make a commitment to themselves to eat healthy and exercise regularly, and to tap into their motivation for change.

Teva Johnstone is a therapist and unschooling mom. She decided to homeschool her daughter because she wanted to preserve her beautiful spirit. Teva knew that could best be achieved outside of traditional school. She's been a social worker and therapist for almost a decade and has been featured on numerous panels and podcasts on the topics of parenting, homeschool, and autism and neurodiversity.
She was inspired to focus her practice on differently wired kids when she became a mother to a spirited child. Professionally, she noticed a gap in knowledge and dignified treatment of autistic and highly sensitive kids, so she made it her mission to help turn things around within the field of mental health.
When she opened her child therapy practice she learned there was a need for parental care, education and support. So she pivoted her approach to more broadly assist parents.
She believes homeschool is a great way to foster children's mental health and development. She is passionate about freeing the youth from government school and watching them soar.
Teva lives in Southern California and homeschools her daughter in a beautiful corner of the universe.
And in this episode, Teva shares about pursuing a parenting path that is different from the norm, how to know if homeschool is right for your child, plus all about her course A Therapist's Guide To Homeschool that will help you give your child better than the status quo so they can have a rich education and be emotionally and socially well.

I can’t believe we are rolling into summer and if you’re concerned about the summer slump of low client referrals or a drop in client session hours, now may be the time to get started on creating an additional stream of income.
Or perhaps you’re feeling burnt out on clinical work and are dreaming of starting something new with your clinical skills…Either way I have you covered!
In this episode I'm going to discuss 3 income generating options you might want to consider…
Before I dive in, it's important to choose options that align with your values, strengths, and experiences plus with determination and creativity, you can thrive beyond clinical work and find fulfillment in their new business ventures.
1.Workshops, trainings and speaking engagements: Conduct sessions for other therapists or even the general public, covering topics such as stress management, self-care techniques, trauma-informed approaches, or specific therapeutic modalities. Or if you have another specialty that therapists can benefit from like social media and marketing, insurance paneling. etc.. Providing these trainings not only allows you to connect with like-minded professionals but also positions you as an authority in your field. Collaboration with local organizations, such as your state associations, agencies, hospitals, schools, or wellness centers can help reach a broader audience. You may have to provide free workshops or trainings to get started and that’s ok because you’re getting your name out there as well as the value you provide. Once you get your feet under you - you can start to charge for your workshops and services.
A few years ago I did a free online workshop for my local AAMFT chapter and from that workshop I received paid opportunities..so don’t count out doing things for free or a small fee. It can lead to more opportunities that will be paid.
2.Writing, Publishing, and blogging: You can utilize your expertise in mental health topics by writing and publishing books, articles, blog posts, or even starting a podcast. These avenues not only allow you to reach a wider audience but also build credibility and generate passive income through book sales or sponsored content. Additionally, therapists can monetize their blog or podcast through affiliate marketing. These are great options if you desire to create an income stream that allows you to work from home as well as in the pockets of your day. If you have small children at home and you aren’t able to get out and about as much this is a great option. How do you get started with these? If you want to start writing, I'd suggest looking at upwork or other freelance sites. Experience isn’t always necessary so you can probably find some opportunities.
Blogging is still a thing! And the more niche your blog, the better. Now blogging takes time, patience and consistency of effort and action to grow but if you want to work from home and cut back on clinical work - growing a blog could be for you. Blog about things you enjoy and are passionate about and what people are searching for - research shows that people want to be healthier, happier and wealthier, so what niches can you write about that help people in one of these areas? Help them solve problems and give them value. Most bloggers monetize through affiliate marketing. Which means that when they recommend a product or service, they are paid a commission, at no extra cost to the purchaser. For example, one company I’m an affiliate for is the mindfulness app. When someone purchases the app through my link, I receive a commission. There are many affiliate marketing programs out there so get creative.
3.Podcasting: Similar to blogging. Pick your niche, create content, be consistent, add value to your audience. If you are curious about podcasting and want a free course, check out this training from John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast. It’s the same program I went through before starting my podcast.
These are just 3 business ideas that I suggest for therapists seeking a change. If you’d like more ideas then be sure to grab my list that includes 50 ideas for creating an additional stream of income.
Before I end today’s episode it’s important to know that while these ideas take time to grow - it’s even more important that you take action on starting
As a therapist who has experienced burnout from clinical work, I struggled for many months on how to move through it. I went to therapy, I talked to my life coach, I read a bunch of self-help books…and while each were helpful in their own way, nothing really changed for me until I decided to TAKE ACTION.
I took messy, chaotic (at times), and imperfect action. And as I’ve mentioned before, the first few attempts at starting something new where flops. But I took what I learned from those ‘failures’ and kept moving forward. I found I was moving through my burn out because I was taking responsibility for controlling what I could - which was figuring out a way to pivot my skills into something new. I actually found that with my new attitude and vision, I was a better therapist.
And while I still experience burn out here and there, it’s way more manageable because I am working on growing my business.
Take home message? Pick something and start taking action on it. It may help you cope with your burn out.
And that's a wrap for today's episode. I hope you found this discussion on business ideas for burnt-out therapists informative and inspiring. If you're a therapist experiencing burnout, remember that taking action and exploring new avenues can lead to a more fulfilling professional journey.

Recently I was asked the question, what makes a good therapist? I’m sharing my list in this episode.
The qualities and skills that make a good therapist are crucial in facilitating effective and impactful therapeutic outcomes. A good therapist demonstrates empathy, actively listens to their clients, and maintains a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe and trusting environment. Trustworthiness, effective communication, and adaptability are also essential, as they allow therapists to tailor their approach to meet individual client needs. Emotional intelligence, cultural competence, and a commitment to lifelong learning contribute to the therapist's ability to navigate diverse client experiences. Additionally, self-awareness and self-care are important for therapists to maintain their own well-being and provide optimal support. Ultimately, a good therapist establishes a strong therapeutic alliance with clients, fostering growth, and facilitating positive change in a compassionate and supportive manner.

In this episode, I challenge the notion of work-life balance for mothers and suggest that it's more about values and priorities than striving for a perfect balance every day.
By gaining clarity on our values, decision-making becomes easier, time management improves, self-care becomes a natural practice, and relationships become stronger.
Listen to the episode to hear practical strategies for finding balance, including prioritizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, establishing boundaries, delegating responsibilities, scheduling and organizing, practicing time management, seeking support and building a network, and incorporating mindfulness and gratitude into daily life.
Remember that finding balance is an ongoing process, unique to each individual, and that flexibility, self-compassion, and adaptability are crucial.

Comparisonitis can be a challenging experience for women in midlife, where they compare themselves to others and feel inadequate or unfulfilled in their own lives. In this episode, I explore practical tips and strategies to help women overcome comparisonitis and find greater contentment and fulfillment in their lives.
I start by discussing the importance of self-compassion, focusing on our own goals and values, and limiting social media use. I also emphasize the value of cultivating gratitude, building relationships with supportive people, and seeking professional help when needed.
In addition, I explore the benefits of mindfulness, embracing imperfection, and challenging negative thoughts. I highlight the importance of celebrating other people's successes, taking action towards our own goals, and practicing self-awareness to identify our triggers and cope with them effectively.
By following these tips and strategies, women in midlife can learn to break free from the cycle of comparisonitis and find greater peace and fulfillment in their own lives. Tune in to this episode for practical guidance and inspiration to overcome comparisonitis and thrive in midlife.

How To Change Your Relationship with Anxiety
I'm doing something a little different in this week’s episode. I’m calling it a reverse interview - instead of me being the interviewer, I'm the interviewee. Recently I had the pleasure of being on my friend Chris McDonald’s podcast, the Holistic Counseling podcast, where we talked about navigating aging and midlife with ease. She is such a great host and interviewer and I asked her if I could take the interview and add it to my episodes.
Chris just joined the PsychCraft network of podcasters - if you haven’t already checked out her show, you won’t be disappointed if holistic counseling and modalities are of interest to you!
And if you’re curious about adding holistic counseling treatments to your practice, be sure to check out her trainings. Plus you can earn continuing education contact hours.

Changing your relationship with anxiety requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the underlying causes and triggers of your anxiety, as well as your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that maintain the cycle of anxiety.

Plus I share strategies that may help you cope with anxiety. Everyone's experience of anxiety is unique, and there may be other factors involved such as genetics, past experiences, and environmental factors.

Joe Sanok is one of the OGs of private practice launching and he’s one of the first I listened to when I was considering starting my own private practice. And while I've shared with you all that private practice isn’t for me, Joe has influenced and inspired me in more ways than just that. Before I started the Therapy Show, I listened to 100s of episodes of Joe’s podcast, the Practice of the Practice before I ever hit record. And Joe has been an encouragement and supporter of my podcast and vision from the start.
I am excited to have him back on the podcast and in this episode he’s going to be sharing some wisdom and advice on where to spend your time in each phase of building and growing your private practice. So if you’re in the beginning stages of starting a solo practice or you’re well on your way to adding that next clinician to your group practice, this episode has something for anyone.
Be sure to check out www.pillarsofpractice.com where you will find FREE resources designed to help you take your private practice to the next level, whether you are just starting out or already have an established practice running.

In this week's episode I interview Dr. Karen Dyck and Dr. Melissa Tiessen, two mid-career psychologists working in private practice. They founded Intentional Therapists out of a recognition that self-care is incredibly important for mental health clinicians, yet they receive little to no training in this area. The mission of Intentional Therapists is to help female mental health clinicians thrive in their professional roles and normalize self-care in all its forms. During the episode, Karen and Melissa discuss the four C's of their self-care model and how it can help female mental health clinicians move from surviving to thriving in their work and life.

Midlife challenges can be difficult to navigate, but they can also be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By seeking support, reassessing your values and priorities, trying new things, focusing on your physical health, and practicing self-compassion, you can overcome a midlife challenge and emerge stronger and more fulfilled on the other side. Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes in your life.

I had a different topic planned for this week's PIIP episode, however it's been a tough week and I wanted to share what I do when I'm struggling with something - as it may help you too.
It's practicing mindfulness.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and engaged in the current moment, without judgment or distraction. It involves focusing one's attention on the present experience, including thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment, in a non-judgmental way.
Mindfulness is often practiced through various techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises, and body scans. It has been shown to have a wide range of benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved focus and concentration, increased emotional regulation, and greater overall well-being.
In this episode I share what mindfulness can help with and how you can become more mindful.
Plus learn more about the app I mention in the episode and get a free 7 day trial and a course on transforming your relationship with anxiety. https://mindfulnesscom-partner-program.pxf.io/c/3141999/1521271/16803 (affiliate link)

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the important topic of therapist burnout.

Dr. Altvater authored the book Perspective: Contemplating the Complexities of Our Realities, published her research in the International Journal of Play Therapy on technology use in play therapy, and is a contributing author in numerous scholarly texts on implementing digital technologies in play therapy practice.
I also want to share that Rachel has just published a book titled - Perspective: Contemplating the Complexities of Our Realities This psychological, self-insight ‘think book’ aims to shed light on the complexities of human perspective. Each person filters their perceptions and reality through their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The method in which we view the world, ourselves, and one another varies person to person. While humans have commonalities, each person is truly unique; no two people have the same structure within which they perceive and evaluate their lived experiences. A vast array of perspectives adds immense depth and opportunity for growth as a species; however, human beings in our polarized society often struggle to empathize with or understand one another. Deep rooted human injustices and suffering combined with ignorance to and invalidation of others’ lived experiences exacerbates misunderstanding and division. This makes reaching a unified ground exceptionally challenging.

I’m answering another listener's question in this Put It into Practice episode. I received this question over social media and I think it’s something we don’t talk about enough - Porn Addiction. The question I received: is porn addiction an epidemic? I review the causes, triggers, and consequences of porn addiction. I also discuss the relationship between sexual abuse and porn.
Don’t forget you can message me over on IG or send me an email - lisa at lisamustard dot com to ask me a question about therapy, mental health, relationships, that I will answer on a future episode (anonymously, of course). Because if you’re wondering about it chances are others out there are wondering about it too!

Pavel Ythjall was on top of the world. One of the best fitness photographers in the world, he had started the fitness company Fighterdiet with his ex-wife, Pauline. The company was a success, helping more than 10,000 women each year take control of their lives and become strong, fit, healthy, and empowered.
To make things even better, he was married to the love of his life, Kat. Life felt like a fairytale. He and Kat shared a zest for life, and they had the financial means to live to the fullest. They went for helicopter rides and yacht rides. They traveled frequently to Belize and other amazing places.
And then, in December 2015, the fairytale came to an end. They were on their way to a Christmas party when their tire blew out. After swerving and hitting a freeway sign, their car rolled three or four times. Pavel broke his neck and Kat was paralyzed.
It was devastating. In the blink of an eye, the couple who had been savoring everything life had to offer found themselves fighting just to survive. And even if they both lived—and after his near decapitation, and doctors giving Kat only a 10 percent chance of survival, that seemed like a big if—Pavel knew that life could never be the same.
In this episode, Pavel shares their story as well as the book he wrote, True Love & Suffering, that helps to remind people facing hardship and tragedy that they are not alone.
True Love & Suffering is currently ranked #1 in two Amazon categories! In addition to hitting Best Seller, the book was also named a #1 Amazon Hot New Release!

Are you ready for a change? Feeling a pull to start something new in 2023? Maybe it’s a new career? Or a side business? Or maybe you’ve thought about going back to school? Or even a new hobby?
But what if you're ready for a change and don't know how to make one? Or perhaps just the idea of starting something new makes you worried or anxious?
Well, then this episode is for you! I share the best way I know to get started on the steps you need to take as you get ready to decide what's next for you.
It starts with the understanding the thoughts you are telling yourself and then you need to identify your core values. If you don’t identify the drivers behind wanting a change, you will give up or stop pursuing your new idea when the going gets tough.
The questions I mention in the episode:
What is important to you?
What do you hold near and dear to your heart?
What ideas get you excited?
If time and money were of no issues to you, how would you spend your day?
What do you yearn for when you consider your future?
What brings you joy?
Where do you find your energy?

And if you’re thinking now is the time to get started with therapy, consider Betterhelp.

This is a fun and exciting topic and I’m always up for sharing what’s working not just for me when it comes to marketing my offers but what’s working for others.
DISCLOSURE: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, MEANING I GET A COMMISSION IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE A PURCHASE THROUGH MY LINKS, AT NO COST TO YOU.
Hang out in any therapist facebook group and you’ll see the question - how are you marketing your courses, services, products, etc and is it working? Well, I guess we should define what ‘working’ means first. Working to me is this - are my marketing efforts giving me leads - are they generating new people onto my email marketing lists? Then the next part of defining working - are these leads buying what i’m offering?
So if your efforts aren’t generating leads, then I'd say your marketing isn’t working.
Now of course there are tons of ways to market what it is that you do and if you are just getting started with growing your private practice, I’m going to encourage you to listen to podcasters and bloggers that focus on just that. While I think you’ll get some good ideas from this episode, you’re probably best served by those who specialize in growing a practice. You can listen to episode 26 with Kate and Katie of the Private Practice Start Up where they chat about growing a business you love. There are so many clinicians out there who help with starting a private practice, it’s not hard to find information nowadays.
This episode is more for those clinicians who might be considering coaching, offering a course, selling an ebook or book, promoting a product or perhaps you’re unsure. But you hear all the time that the money is in your email list so you are wanting to start one and I am here to say go for it! I wish I had started sooner!
Let’s talk about what’s working for me right now plus so many others out there.
Here is my marketing funnel:
Create a Quiz, promote the quiz, leads join my email list and now I'm making sales. Currently I have 2 quizzes - one titled what podcast should you create and the other is what is your activewear personality style?
The questions I ask allow me to find out where my audience sits on these topics and then when I have their responses I can create emails that address the topics and issues they want more information on.
It’s been a great way to both grow my list and then serve my audience in a more specific (and fun) way.
Create your quiz, yes you can promote it on your social media channels but I highly recommend putting some marketing dollars behind it and run ads too. Once they take your quiz, they are on your email list. You’ll want to set up your initial follow up email series so once someone takes your quiz they start receiving your emails. This initial email series is a way for you to greet them and start nurturing the relationship.
I’m not an expert on email marketing but I have been at it for a few years and my best emails come when I’m working to nurture the relationship with my audience as well as serve them with valuable information. I used to dread emailing my list but since I've changed my approach I really look forward to crafting my emails and engaging with those on my list.
Now that I have my email list up and running and I’m nurturing the list and relationships, I make my offers. I’m not selling to them in each email - I’m offering a lot of free information and I'm also reminding them I have coaching packages too.
I’ve learned that email marketing is part strategy, part engagement, another part consistency and a dash of fun. I had so many doubts about starting an email list but I’m so glad I started!
Want to get a taste of what I’m talking about? You can take my quizzes here and here and see how I email my lists. Honestly I believe quizzes are a hidden secret for online marketing - don’t delay in getting yours going today.
I use Smart Quiz Builder which is a website plug in. There is a one time licensing fee cost (not a monthly fee like most quiz sites out there) and the quizzes are hosted on my website, not someone else’s. You can create all types of quizzes and it’s very easy to use. (This is coming from someone who’s afraid I will blow up my site if I hit the wrong button.) It’s very user friendly and has stunning templates that will allow you to create quizzes that stand out.
It’s been a gamechanger for growing my email lists.
Ok so maybe now you’re considering creating a quiz to grow your email list. The sky’s the limit with what kinds of quizzes you can create. I recommend reverse engineering what you want to accomplish…want to offer coaching services? Want to sell your products? What type of quiz would help you get your ideal customer on your list? Create it and grow your email list!
If you love this marketing idea yet feel a little overwhelmed, I get it. Want to talk it over with someone who’s been in your shoes and has felt a little lost and confused on how to move forward with pivoting your skill set? Then book a free 20 minute consultation with me. Let’s talk and see if I can help you figure out which way to go with your ideas. Link to book the call is here.
I hope you enjoyed this episode! More to come on quiz creation and how to drive traffic to them on future episodes.

Thank you for being a valued listener! I appreciate everyone who has reached out and I am thankful for you.
Hey friends, I have some news! I’ve expanded my services and offerings under the The Therapy Show umbrella and am helping therapists escape burnout! How do you ask? Well the details are coming out in my next episode but I’ll spill the tea a little bit right now. How do I help you with your burnout? Well many of you are sharing with me that you’d like to cut back on the hours you are seeing clients and spend more time selling your products. But you don’t know how to really make that happen.
Now I’ve been there and know this feeling well and I had to make the decision on how to handle it..and you all know one of the ways I handled it was to put my energy and time into creating this podcast and ultimately from the podcast, a passive income stream.
But I did it backwards. I created the podcast first with really no clear path to monetization. Instead I should have known what my passive income product was going to be first, create that product first and then base my podcast around that product!
Think about that. Having a podcast that specifically drives traffic to your passive income products. A podcast that is evergreen and found by new listeners day after day. Those listeners then head to your website to learn more about your courses or services.
Would you be excited about that? New ears finding you every day? New customers purchasing your books, your courses, your webinars..whatever it is you are selling.

Take my Activewear Personality Quiz! It’s fun and fast and tells you what you should wear based upon your preferred ways of getting fit.
Have you taken the time to reflect on the lessons you learned in 2021 yet? Or are you still in go go hustle mode and have promised yourself you’ll take that time over the holidays? Because I’m usually the one who doesn’t do much reflecting until I’m sitting on the beach and looking at the ocean and then the tears come - mainly happy tears of WOW we made it through the year and look at what we’ve accomplished! But sometimes the tears are for the fact that I still haven’t reached some of my goals. Goals I made at the beginning of the year somehow got buried under other priorities or kicked to the side because they felt too big and scary. Well, I promised myself this end of year reflection was going to be different. Instead of realizing what I didn’t accomplish and being frustrated with myself, I’m making a plan for moving forward and getting crystal clear on what I need to do to reach those goals. And in this episode, I’m sharing lessons I learned in 2021 and how I plan to take action on going after those dreams.
We just returned from our annual family Christmas trip to Edisto Beach, South Carolina. We had such a fun time. The weather was perfect, and we did a lot of fishing. I actually caught fish this year. I have been listening to Neville Goddard’s talks on manifesting. I was telling Billy about how to manifest what you desire, and I kid you not I reeled in 2 fish after I stated my manifestation to the universe. Now I don’t know if that’s too woo woo for you, but it worked!
Ok so let’s get into this episode. Truth be told these lessons have more to do with my personal life than the podcast however they affect the podcast and my vision for moving forward.
(Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I get a commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at NO cost to you. Please read my terms of service and privacy policy for more information.)
So let me just dive right on in and share lesson #1. I can’t do all the things I want to do and be successful. This is something my husband has been telling me for pretty much all of 2021. I have many many irons in the fire - being a mom, being a wife, my job, the podcast, activewear business, creating continuing education, life coach, professional interviewer - just listing them out has me feeling overwhelmed but also excited. The problem is that I love each one of these roles and it’s hard for me to choose where to put my focus and energy some days. Don’t get me wrong, my family always comes first yet that’s where things start to get even more overwhelming. Our girls started playing club volleyball this year which means they each practice 2 days a week and I'm the main chauffeur around here. So, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I’m taking them to and from practice. Some days I am able to sit and get work done but I really love watching them practice so more often than not, I get nothing done.
Here’s why this is a lesson. My highest priority is my family. For me to feel successful in focusing on my family, that means less time to focus on other things, like creating continuing education. It also means less time on social media, which I really don’t mind giving up, but that’s where I do the majority of my networking and connecting. When I put my family first, I feel successful. One of the reasons this is so important to me is because when I was a kid, my family life was a lot different than the one I've created with my husband. My parents were divorced, and my mom was our main caretaker and many evenings we were on our own while she was in grad school. When you’re a kid that’s a big deal to not have your mom around, right? We were pretty good kids and didn’t get into much trouble and she had us surrounded by people who loved us. Yet I knew that if I had kids, I would be there for them more than my mom was able to. I’m not a helicopter parent, I've seen the issues that come from being one of those, but I am accessible to our girls when they need me. And that to me is success.
What does this lesson mean for 2022? I’m unsure. However, I know it means less irons in the fire. So, stay tuned, you know I'll keep you posted.
Lesson #2. Self-care is critical but it’s hard to do. Raise your hand if you’ve discussed self-care with your clients this year? Ok now raise your other hand if you’ve put your own self-care on the back burner. Because I've got both up and I’m waving them wildly! Over the summer I realized I had to get more intentional with my self care. The first thing I did was take Facebook off my phone. That was a self-care gift I didn't know I needed until I did it. I do love connecting and networking with friends and peers, but that algorithm is just too much. I finally realized that it wasn’t good for my mood or energy. So, I just deleted it one day. Poof. Gone. I’ve also cut back on the amount of news I take in too. I also started walking. I sit so much, and my body was starting to revolt. My tight hips and hamstrings were constantly barking at me. One day I just went for a walk, and it was an instant mood and energy boost. Yes, I’ve added a stretching routine too. Speaking of exercise, I get asked a lot about what I do for workouts. I lift weights 3-4 days a week and I walk. Here’s the workout plan I follow if you’re curious.
Self-care also means eating nutritious foods and taking my vitamins. Staying away from processed foods and sugar means I’ll sleep better, have more energy plus my skin glows when I eat whole foods. Speaking of glowing skin and energy, here’s my current favorite breakfast - unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, mixed frozen berries, banana, coconut oil and frozen spinach or kale, a few ice cubes and blend it up. Fills me up for hours and helps me reach my nutrition goals. I’ve also been sticking to a sleep schedule and less time watching netflix during the week before going to bed. Sticking to my sleep schedule means sticking to my wake-up time. I get up by 5am and either get a workout in or work on the podcast. I find the early am hours to be my best time to focus and create podcast content. I love getting up early and getting stuff done, it helps me get a jump start on my day and I check things off the list. Plus, it’s super quiet in the house. I’m really liking the self-care schedule I have set up right now. Other things I do for my self-care: I get a facial every month, I limit my alcohol consumption to 1-2 adult beverages a week, drink my water, keep my boundaries in check, say no to things.
The 3rd Lesson. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s ok. This is an idea that in the past I would say yet didn’t truly understand the full meaning of it until this year. What changed? 2020 happened and we had to make decisions for ourselves and kids that not everyone agreed with. My people pleasing ways would come out and I’d bend over backwards to explain our decisions to others. I would find myself worked up and emotionally flooded and I'd start to second guess my values, ideas and beliefs. Whoa. This is not the person I’ve worked hard to become. It’s ok we’re different. It’s ok that not everyone is going to like me. This year made me realize that I have to stop hiding myself because there are people out there who get me and want to be a part of my life and my community.
I asked a few people in my community what 2021 taught them and here is what they shared:
Damien Hatfield, Owner of RA Martial Arts in the UK shared: "I am not an Island" I have an amazing team and I need to allow them to help. Nature of a control freak I'm afraid.
Yes! I love this! Damien, thank you for sharing. Working so much in the details of your business may not allow you to use your skills to grow the business. Delegate the tasks that keep you from reaching your business goals.
Tosha Rollins of the Autism in Action Podcast said her goal for 2022 is to simplify and streamline and put herself first to increase successful outcomes. I’m excited for her! I wonder what this will look like for her. Maybe it’s setting up new systems. Perhaps it’s setting boundaries with her work? Self-care may be something she’s referring to as well. What we do know is that when we neglect our own needs, we just aren’t as productive or helpful for others.
So, looking forward to 2022 here are a few things I’m committing to doing. First is to grow my business with less time on social media. We’ve been told over and over again that we must have a social media presence. But I am beginning to see that less is more. In the past I had been taught (and was teaching) that we had to post 3-5 times a day to get visible. I’m here to bust that myth and also apologize to everyone I said that too! Yes, it’s important but we don’t need to be a slave to sharing content to get seen. It’s more about creating valuable content that your audience wants to see. What does that mean for me? More podcasts and blogging and less time fighting the algorithms.
Speaking of blogging, I have my blog up and running on my site. I’m planning to blog at least once a week and I’ll cover a variety of things so be sure to check it out.
I’ll also be doing more solo episodes. Don’t worry I’ll still be interviewing therapists and other helping professionals; I’ll just be spending some more time teaching what I’m learning about growing my business and podcast.
So, what are your biggest lessons from 2021? And what are you looking forward to in 2022? Send me a DM on Instagram or an email - I’d love to hear from you.

Why a side gig to begin with?
- Want an extra stream of income.
- Want to pursue other passions/interests.
- Feeling burnt out and wanting to test the waters of what else is out there.
I truly love what I do in my day job, however at times I get burnt out and need to switch gears to challenge myself and use other parts of my brain to keep things fresh and interesting.
I have 2 stipulations for side gigs. I need to be able to do the gig anywhere and it can’t interfere with my family time.
Why those 2 things? When I was truly burnt out a few years ago, I finally realized that to stay in a healthier mind set I had to get real about my priorities and values. After a lot of exploration with my life coach, 2 main themes or values emerged: family first or focus and time freedom.
By the way, if you're struggling with burn out and want to explore the reasons behind it, I may be able to help you. My life coaching is geared towards helping you live your best life and that means getting crystal clear on how congruent you are living out your highest values. Some people don’t even know what their values are. If that’s you, let’s connect and see if I'm a fit to help you. Schedule a free consultation here.
I went on the hunt once for the best side gigs for me now that I knew what I needed in terms of lifestyle. I knew the gigs would appear now that I had my values on the forefront of my mind.
The first gig I tried was a part time therapist with an online counseling service. I know I said this was going to be about not doing therapy as a side gig but stay with me as there’s more to it.
I started taking clients on an online counseling platform in the summer of 2018. I was booked up quickly. I really enjoyed the work and the variety of issues I was working with was really cool and at one point I even thought about moving to full time with them, however that’s when I started to come up with the therapy show idea.
As much as I liked the online counseling, I couldn’t keep it up if I wanted to start the podcast, but before I left, I knew I needed another source of income to help pay for the podcast.
So, I went looking! Enter interest and passion #1 - fitness!
I love working out and of course to do so, I need activewear. I interviewed at a retail store, and it was a no go because of my values, family and time freedom. As much as I wanted to say YES, I ended up turning it down.
But the seed was planted so I got on google and on page 3 or 4 of my search I came across the idea to be a brand rep. I was instantly intrigued and started to do my research and a few days later I signed up and began my home based activewear business.
What else gets you excited? Makeup, jewelry, organic healthy household items, health and wellness supplements, books - are there opportunities out there for you to rep a brand and earn some side money?
Yes, a lot of these opportunities are direct sales models yet there are plenty of affiliate opportunities out there as well. Before you go poo pooing on these models realize that they are legitimate and can be very lucrative if you have the right mindset and a work ethic. Consistency and perseverance are needed to be successful in these gigs.
I love and live in leggings so it’s an easy yes for me. People are always asking me where I get my leggings (or tank top or jacket or joggers) from and all I do is refer them to my website.
Here's another side gig that I've found to be fun and a way to use the creative side of my brain - Tales.com.
Tales is a company that interviews your loved ones and delivers a professionally produced, private podcast episode so you'll have their stories forever.
This has been the perfect side gig for me. I love talking with people and hearing their stories, love asking questions and going deeper, love building relationships and giving space for others to share, and I love that family members have their own private podcast. I wish Tales had been around when my grandparents were still here.
Why do I love tales? Checks both boxes of family first and time freedom. Tales work around my schedule in setting up the interviews. Once I give them my schedule for the week, they set up the interviews which last about 35-40 minutes. Will you get rich off of tales? Probably not but you will love this gig if you love people and building relationships. And working with tales has made me a better therapist, storyteller, listener and human.
I mentioned you may not get rich off of being a tales interviewer but what if it opened up other doors and opportunities for you? Think about that for a little bit - other solutions and possibilities may appear for you. I love that mindset and it’s my default these days.
The cool part is that Tales is hiring!
Here's a short description of the interviewer position:
Tales.com is looking for part-time podcast interviewers to speak with our customers about a subject of their choice - most often about their life stories.
Interviewers are matched with our customers to conduct remote interviews that are generally 30-35 minutes in length over the phone or over Zoom.
Ideal interviewers embody the below characteristics:
-
Good listener
-
Empathetic and non-judgmental
-
Curious about other people – even those they’ve never met
-
Have a feel for storytelling and how to guide guests through an interview in a way that makes sense (our pre-interview questionnaire we send to our guests helps facilitate this)
-
Bonus points if you have experience interviewing others or a background in audio storytelling
Interviewers must have their own professional-grade audio equipment and have familiarity with Zoom.
If you’re a podcaster, this could be a natural fit for you. And if you’re not a podcaster, you’ve already got the skills as a therapist.

Another side gig that is interesting is Upwork. Upwork is the world's largest freelance talent marketplace. Their vision is to connect businesses with great talent faster than ever before.
I have found some cool and interesting side gigs on Upwork:
Blog writer
Social media coordinator
Content creator
Narrator
Editor
Life coach
Website creator/developer
Researcher
And much more
Yes, you need some specialized skills for these positions however they are also looking for entry level freelancers. Once you set up your profile it’s possible you will get invitations to apply for freelance positions. I've received requests to submit proposals for relationship coach, writer, reviewer mental health information for accuracy, just to name a few.
There are other freelance marketplaces out there, but I don’t know much about them. An internet search is all you need to find out what other sites are out there.
So, these are my favorite side gigs I've found so far. Others I've considered, dog walker (I love to get my steps in) there’s a site -https://wagwalking.com/dog-walker that you can check out. Hanging out with dogs and walking are 2 of my favorite things.
Personal trainer/group fitness instructor. I've thought about these over the years and even thought about being an online trainer. Nowadays you can write programs or do virtual workout sessions. If you love fitness and health, this could be a great fit for you. You definitely will need and want specialized training.
Of course, there are the go-tos that therapists often consider when they are looking for a side gig that takes them away from their clinical roles yet still allows them to use specialized skills - coaching, course creator, consultant. While I love these side gigs as options, you may need a guide or mentor to help you get these gigs off the ground. Not everyone needs a mentor to figure out the coaching, course creating and consulting worlds, but it does shorten your learning curve and saves you valuable time. There are plenty of coaches out there who can help you, even therapists turned coaches who offer programs.
So, there you have it. My ideas for side gigs that have nothing (or at least not as much!) to do with therapy. Take what you like and leave what you don't. These are just a few things I've looked into and considered over the years. If none of these ideas resonate with you that’s ok because there are endless possibilities out there.
What I would suggest is figuring out your highest priorities and then identifying your interests and passions. Like I mentioned earlier, mine are family first and time freedom so any opportunities I look at need to check both boxes. If the gigs don’t check these boxes, then it’s a NO for me.

Tosha Rollins is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina, and owner of Rollins Counseling, LLC. She is also a wife to Travis, and momma to three sons, ages 8-22, and stepmom to Kaylee, who is now in college. She loves adventures, traveling, nature, and spending time with her family.
She started the Autism in Action Podcast because she wanted to help families connect with autism resources, services, and support. She became frustrated trying to find an autism-trained counselor for her oldest two children on the autism spectrum and realized the shortage of trained professionals across the country. She decided to create the Autism Therapist Network to teach and mentor mental health clinicians how to feel more confident and competent working with autistic clients and families affected by autism. When she is not seeing clients, homeschooling her youngest son, podcasting, she is spending quality time with her family and planning her next adventure.

My guest this episode is Katie Vernoy. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a clinical practice in the greater Los Angeles Area. She is also the co-host and co-founder of The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide podcast and the Therapy Reimagined Conference.
Katie has always loved leadership and began stepping into management positions soon after gaining her license in 2005. Katie’s experience spans many leadership and management roles in the mental health field: program coordinator, director, clinical supervisor, hiring manager, recruiter, and past President of her state professional organization. In one of her management roles, Katie was able to transform a struggling mental health program – engaging the team in implementing solutions that improved clinical outcomes, increased clinician productivity (and billing), and won awards from Los Angeles County for innovation and best practices. Now, in business for herself, Katie provides consultation and business strategy to support leaders, visionaries, and helping professionals in pursuing their mission to help others.
In this episode Katie talks about the role of self leadership plus other roles we may take on as therapists such supervision leader, business leader, and agency leader. She also discusses sacrificial helping and how we can avoid it as therapists. We also chat about the importance of critical thinking and knowing when and how to set boundaries with our work.
And for being one of our listeners, Katie is giving you $150 off her signature strategy session - Own Your Career Path.

On this episode of Midlife Magic, my guest is Faraz Kahn, host of the Anti Aging Hacks podcast. Faraz started his podcast so he could help his parents be healthier and more active so that they could enjoy fun experiences together and fulfill some of his mom’s dreams of traveling the world. He began researching ways and hacks to slow down the aging process. He started attending conferences on health and anti-aging; listening to podcasts and reading published scientific studies and a plethora of books.
And what he learned was amazing. He discovered that over the past 15 years, all the scientific advancements, studies of older populations and a vastly improved understanding of our biology, have resulted in exciting information on how to slow down the aging process today – and turn back our biological clock by many years, and get back the energy, skin, hormones we had many years ago.
Furthermore, there are very promising developments unfolding over the next 5-10 years that may make diseases like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes a thing of the past. We will be living like our much younger selves full or radiance, vigor and energy.
And so his podcast was born. He shares the latest and best information on how to slow down and even reverse your aging. Every week, he interviews a renowned and published expert on a certain topic in the exciting world of Anti-Aging and Longevity.

This week’s guest is Dr. Diva Nagula, a board-certified osteopathic physician with extensive knowledge and training in Integrative and Functional Medicine. A Washington, D.C. native, he grew up in Alexandria, Virginia. His interest in medicine developed at an early age when he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and practice medicine.

Richard first saw who he really was in 1970, in a workshop with Douglas Harding, author of On Having No Head. Since then he has continued exploring and sharing this direct way of awakening, leading hundreds of workshops around the world. Richard is co-ordinator of the Shollond Trust, a UK charity founded to share the philosophy and practical awareness exercises or the experiments that Douglas Harding created. Richard’s aim is to share the experience and meaning of who we really are as widely as possible.
My husband, Billy, joins me on this interview as he is the one who has turned me on to this self exploration process.
We had such a wonderful chat with Richard on how he found the Headless Way. He walks us through a few experiments on helping us see who we really are and what Billy and I have discovered is this truth: once you see what you are at center, then getting into the habit of living consciously from this boundless, timeless space can be effortless.

If you live in the US you may never have heard of Matt Fiddes, but if you’re anywhere else, he may just be a household name.
Matt Fiddes is one of the most respected experts in the international world of martial arts and fitness. Matt’s achievements have seen him honoured at the highest level, after being inducted into the UK Martial Arts Hall of Fame and presented with the prestigious ‘Martial Arts Superstar Award’.
He first discovered a talent for self-defense at seven after being bullied at school. Five years later he had already won his Black Belt with a determination and drive that was to mark him out as a special talent. Leaving school at sixteen with no qualifications he opened the first Matt Fiddes Martial Arts School in his hometown of Barnstaple, North Devon, with just £100.
Matt’s unique training programs are designed for both children and adults and have proved to be a massive success with over 600 training schools across the UK and Europe including Ireland, Germany, Holland, Australia and South Africa.
He is a 7th Degree Black Belt Master in Tae Kwon Do and holds Black Belts in Kickboxing and Kung Fu is now one of the most in-demand personal trainers thanks to front covers and interviews in newspapers and magazines worldwide. He has numerous celebrity clientele including actors, supermodels and singers. Undoubtedly Matt’s biggest client was superstar Michael Jackson. Introduced to Matt by his close friend Uri Geller, Matt was Michael’s personal UK bodyguard for over a decade before his tragic death in June 2009.
Today, he now runs a multi-million pound, international martial arts franchise which is the world’s biggest martial arts brand in the world. Matt sits on the board of advisors for the Worldwide Martial Arts Teachers Association (MATA) along with the industry’s most admired teachers. Matt is dedicated to building his martial arts schools where he can help improve the fitness and life skills of young people.
Matt is married to South African singer Moniqe Fiddes and they live in Wiltshire with their children.
I met Matt through social media. I think one of my facebook lives floated across his feed? I had no idea who he was or what he did, just knew he was a nice guy with a lot of positivity and a love for helping others reach their goals
So I’m excited to have him on the show and hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about Micheal Jackson and gain some insight into his personal life that you may not know.

Before I jump into the intro for this episode, I wanted to share something that’s been brewing within me for a while.
When I began podcasting, I wanted to focus on talk therapy topics and issues yet I’m also really passionate about another topic. And that is helping women live their best lives as they move into midlife. You may or may not know that when I hit 40, that’s when I made the decision to start living my life differently. So for the past 7 years I’ve worked to live more authentically and congruentally.
And now I want to start bringing this information to the podcast! I’m lining up guests that will not only inspire you to see mid life differently but will also bring you the know how to do so.
I’m unsure yet if i will start a whole new podcast or rebrand this one. Podcasts are a lot of work and it’s just me right now behind the scenes (well except for my audio engineer and editor, Laura and my website developer, Michael) so creating and producing 2 separate podcasts feels overwhelming yet also at the same time it feels possible. Right now I’m just hanging out in the land of possibilities. I hope you stay tuned to see and hear the upcoming shifts in my podcast world!
Here’s my first shift and I’m so excited to share this week’s interview with you all. It’s the FIRST MidLife Magic podcast episode!
I titled it Strength At Any Age With Dani Shugart for a few reasons:
Number one, I truly believe that you can acquire strength at any age. While in this episode we are talking about strength gained in the weight room, we also talk about how finding the weight room has given us both self confidence and physical and mental strength, two things my guest and I both were looking for in our younger years. And finding the weights helped us tremendously in these areas.
Number two, research has shown us that there are incredible benefits of building muscle such as improving balance, reducing the likelihood of falls, improving blood-sugar control, and improving sleep and mental health. The average person starts losing muscle as early as age 25. And From 40 to 70 years old, muscle loss averages 8 percent per decade and then accelerates to 15 percent after age 70. Our eventual physical decline is inevitable, but the more muscle we have when our bodies start rapidly breaking down, the longer we can last with our physical function.
I often get asked why I’m so crazy about telling people to hit the weight room. It’s not because i want to look good naked, that’s a byproduct of wanting to increase my confidence and put off my physical decline as long as possible! I want longevity and quality of life!!
And when I decided I wanted to talk about this on my first episode of Midlife Magic, I headed straight to my friend Dani Shugart.
Dani Shugart is an editor for T-Nation.com, a lifetime natural lifter, and co-host of the Fit Pants podcast.
Dani shares her story on finding the weight room, how progress in the weight room has built her confidence, why consistency and accountability are keys to reaching your goals, how to get into fitness if you’re brand new as well as how to get back into fitness if you’ve fallen out.
Plus we talk about tips for growing muscle in midlife, why assessing your efforts for effectiveness is important, and reassessing your efforts if it’s not getting you to your goals.
Listen to the Fit Pants podcast here.
Connect with Dani on Instagram.
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Bill O’Hanlon is a Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, author, and speaker. He co-developed Solution-Oriented Therapy, has authored or co-authored over 39 books (ranging from brief therapy for various clinical topics to those about publishing and now song writing). He is also a musician who plays guitar and writes country music. And yes, he was also on Oprah with his book, Do One Thing Different.
In this episode, Bill talks about meeting Dr. Milton Erickson for the first time and why a story about African Violets completely shifted how Bill viewed problems, how he disrupted the psychotherapy field with his approach to talk therapy, how he got onto Oprah, and his love for writing country music.
And stay till the end because he sings us a song.
I get a little teary at times throughout this interview. Bill doesn't mean to make me cry but his passion and energy remind me why I decided to become a therapist in the first place...to live in the land of possibilities and solutions and to help others do the same.
I’m so grateful for the time he gave me and I really enjoyed this chat. We hope you do as well!

After over 15 years of being in the field of psychotherapy, Lee Chaix McDonough decided to pivot and shift her skill set after a major life transition. When they moved from Germany back to the US after her husband retired from the military and he bought a dental practice, she decided to press pause on her professional career to help her family transition to civilian life and to assist her husband in growing his business.
As she immersed herself in understanding the mindset of owning and running a business, she became more and more interested in combining her strengths of intuitive work and coaching. From there, she started her coaching business: Coach with Clarity.
Lee is the CEO and Founder of Coach With Clarity, a business coaching and training company. She became credentialed as a coach through the International Coach Federation and now provides ICF-accredited continuing coach education for intuitive, heart-centered coaches. She is also the host of the Coach with Clarity podcast and author of the #1 Amazon book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.
In this week’s episode, Lee discusses how she got started, how coaching is different than counseling, things you need to consider if you want to add coaching to your services, why it’s important to niche down and define your audience, and do you really need a coaching certification? Lee covers these points and much more!

I was super curious to learn more about this week’s topic, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. So I went on the hunt for the research as well as someone I could chat with about what this looks like in session.
According to the article abstract for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): Patient Demographics, Clinical Data and Outcomes in Three Large Practices Administering Ketamine with Psychotherapy in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, “Currently, ketamine is the only legal psychedelic medicine available to mental health providers for the treatment of emotional suffering. Over the past several years, ketamine has come into psychiatric use as an intervention for treatment resistant depression (TRD), administered intravenously without a psychotherapeutic component. In these settings, ketamine's psychedelic effects are viewed as undesirable "side effects." In contrast, we believe ketamine can benefit patients with a wide variety of diagnoses when administered with psychotherapy and using its psychedelic properties without need for intravenous (IV) access. Its proven safety over decades of use makes it ideal for office and supervised at-home use. The unique experience that ketamine facilitates with its biological, experiential, and psychological impacts has been tailored to optimize office-based treatment evolving into a method that we call Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). This article is the first to explore KAP within an analytical framework examining three distinct practices that use similar methods. Here, we present demographic and outcome data from 235 patients. Our findings suggest that KAP is an effective method for decreasing depression and anxiety in a private practice setting, especially for older patients and those with severe symptom burden.”

This week's guest, Eric Blommel, discusses how ketamine assisted psychotherapy may accelerate the process of growth and change for people dealing with treatment resistant depression, ptsd, anxiety and more. He shares how he works with medication prescribers, the parameters he puts in place with his patients, and how psychedelics may act as brain reboot.
It’s such an interesting interview and we hope you find it helpful.

This week’s guest, Roger Nygard, tracked down the experts - and some other extraordinary folks - to solve the mystery of happy relationships. Along the way, he discovered scientific facts about how we truly find each other to begin with, what we can do to increase the chances of finding our soulmate, and how most of what we call fate is anything but.
In his documentary, The Truth About Marriage, Roger interviews experts on how to find love, stay together and keep the passion alive.
We truly enjoyed the documentary and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to unravel the mysteries of attraction and relationship psychology.
Not only is the documentary enlightening, it’s also very entertaining! Listen in to hear more about Roger, why he wanted to do a documentary on marriage and how he connected with so many incredible people to interview for his production.

While you are checking in with your clients, are you checking in with yourself? That was the question I was recently asked by a colleague and it got me thinking about our profession and peers. As therapists we preach it all the time, right? Yet are we actually walking the walk? Especially during times like these when our clients may need a little more from us. How are we managing ourselves? Our self care? Our mindset?
I gathered 3 peers and asked them to weigh in on this topic. I learned a lot while talking with them and hope you find this bonus episode helpful as you navigate being a helping professional during a pandemic.
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Before I tell you about what’s to come in this episode, I want to give Sindee Gozansky a huge thank you for connecting me with today’s guest. If you don’t know Sindee, she is a therapist in Portland Maine and she’s also the founder of The Whole Therapist which is an online community to help therapists deal with the unique issues we face in work and life. When you join The Whole Therapist Community, you connect with other therapists to support your practice and your lifestyle through lessons, resources, coaching, Q&A and discussions. It’s an amazing group and I hope you check it out!
So Sindee connected me with today’s guest, Dr. Bill Hudenko who is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College, an Adjunct Assistant Professor of clinical psychology at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine, the Chief Executive Officer of Voi, Inc., and the President of Trusst Health Inc.
A few years ago Dr. Hudenko noticed a proliferation of telehealth platforms that were beginning to use messaging-based intervention to help people with mental illness. After reviewing the literature, he realized that there was almost no information about the efficacy of this method of intervention. Subsequently, along with his colleagues at the University of Washington and the University of Pennsylvania, they received funding from NiMH to conduct a randomized controlled trial of messaging-based psychotherapy for those with serious mental illness. They trained about 8 clinicians, worked with around 40 patients in the treatment arm of the intervention, and monitored over 12,000 messages in the study. Last year they completed the study and revealed improvement across almost every metric including a reduction in depression, anxiety, and even psychosis. Following this study, he decided that the timing was right to commercialize a messaging-based intervention that could dramatically improve affordability and accessibility of mental healthcare while increasing therapist revenue.
They launched Trusst just last year and in the first 6 months they expanded to over 23 states! They train all of their clinicians with their NiMH-backed approach, but they also allow an incredible amount of flexibility for clinicians to conduct treatment in the way they think is best. Also, unlike their competitors, they allow clinicians to onboard their own existing patients or to shift back and forth between in-person and remote care.
And with so many of our peers looking for ways to continue providing therapy and counseling services in this new normal, Bill’s company, Trusst, is one more tool we can utilize to help our patients and clients continue to receive care while at a physical distance.
Listen in to hear all about his messaging therapy research findings, how therapists are using the platform, and how to become a provider.
Trusst is on a mission to transform the delivery of mental healthcare. We hope you’ll join us in making care more accessible, affordable and practical for everyone involved. They are currently looking to bring on more providers.
And they are giving you one week FREE, sign up for 1 free week of message therapy with the code FREE1W.

What do you know about gut health? Honestly, I didn't know very much. I had heard for years that mental health can be tied to what's going on in our guts and I finally decided to ask an expert. This week's interview is all about how gut health affects mental health and we get to hear from my friend, Dr. Michelle Page.
Michelle Page received her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree from the University of Connecticut and her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Creighton University. She then went on to complete a pharmacy residency at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington and also became a Board Certified in Geriatric Pharmacy. In addition, she has completed several certification programs including diabetes, smoking cessation and medication management.
It was her work in geriatrics when she began to become disillusioned with the allopathic medical model and started exploring lifestyle medicine and alternative healing modalities beyond herbs and supplements. This journey led her to the functional medicine model and its approach to treating the dis-ease found in the body.
As a lifelong learner, Dr. Page has a very diverse knowledge base and skill set that includes personal training, nutrition consulting and success coaching. All of which she utilizes as the founder of the Unbreakable Moms, a supportive community that connects moms with resources and a podcast.
Dr. Page is currently working on her first book about the influence of the gut-brain connection on mood which will be published in spring of 2020.
And on this week’s episode, Michelle covers 4 main objectives:
After listening to this program, the listener will be able to:
1.) Describe the primary difference in the approach to mental health between allopathic medicine and functional medicine.
2) Be able to list at least 2 prescription medications that are used for a dual diagnosis of depression and anxiety.
3.) Describe the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in mental health.
4.) Describe the biological effects of having a “leaky gut” as it relates to mental health.
She is a wife and mom of 2 daughters with whom she shares a home with their dog, 2 cats and 2 fish. She enjoys being creative through performing music and making jewelry.

Kym Tolson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, and a Certified Hypnotherapist and she’s taken her business completely online.
Kym knew she wanted to travel more so she figured out how she could see clients while visiting countries all over the world. And nowadays she has a thriving online, insurance-based, therapy practice. Yet she is the first to admit learning to have an online therapy practice and take insurance was a steep learning curve. Because of this, Kym saw a need to develop a course to help other clinicians learn how to take insurance in their private practice.
And on this week’s episode Kym shares tips for getting started with insurance panels, things to consider when looking to be credentialed, and the pros and cons of taking insurance.
Kym built this course, so you would have a one-stop place to guide you through the process of setting up your practice for insurance billing WITHOUT having to do all the research and leg work she had to in order to get going!

As talk therapists, we all need continuing education contact hours to remain in good standing with our licensing boards - every 2 years here in South Carolina, I need 40 hours of CEUs.
My guess is that you need something similar.
Over the years I have attended many many workshops, conferences, seminars, webinars, etc etc. and honestly they aren’t always the most convenient nor inspiring..so that’s why I’ve created continuing education Podcourses.
Let me take a minute to explain how they work.
First of all, what is a podcourse?
A podcourse is the word I use to describe podcast + self study course. Each podcourse counts for one continuing education contact hour.
All podcourses include the podcast, a self study quiz, evaluation form and certificate of completion.
To buy a podcourse, click buy podcourse, then scroll down the page to see the learning objectives, presenters bio and course outline. Then click buy podcourse about half way down this screen. You will then be asked to submit your payment.
Then you will have access to the podcast, self study quiz and evaluation. Once you pass the self study quiz you can download your certificate of completion.
My hope is that the Podcourses save you your valuable time (no need to sit at your desk and watch, you can listen when you want!)
However, You don’t have to buy the podcourse to listen to the podcast and get the information. The podcast is available for you anytime, anywhere. Just head to the tab that says The Therapy Show.
But if you want the continuing education contact hour, you will need to purchase the quiz, pass it and download your certificate of completion. Be sure to hold on to that certificate for your records! Your Board may want to see it one day!
And you can get your first podcourse for free! Simply fill out the form on my website and I”ll email you over a code that you can enter into checkout for a free continuing education contact hour.
I hope you enjoy the show! Happy Listening!
After about 10 years of being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I started to dream about using my skill set in differently. I was curious about other ways I could bring in an income. My first idea was to be a contractor for an online therapy company. I applied and was accepted went through the training and orientation. And when I was finally on-boarded, the clients started to come in. I quickly built up a full schedule as a part time counselor. I enjoyed the work yet I was on the computer and my phone A LOT. I was missing time with my family and it finally hit me that I didn’t want to trade my precious family time for work anymore.
I decided to resign after about 9 months. I had my time back but I didn’t have the money! And being a little burnt out, I decided the extra income would need to come from something else, not therapy related. I began to look at my other interests of fitness, living an active lifestyle, my love of active wear...and I found something new that would challenge my skills.
This time around I was able to work this business in the pockets of my days and have quality time with my family. (If you’re curious to learn more about this opportunity then head to lisamustard.com, click on active wear.)
But it also got me thinking of other ways to build passive or residual income like affiliate marketing, podcast sponsorships and speaking engagements. I didn’t know much about these things so I turned to my friend Joe Sanok of Practice of the Practice. He’s been able to create additional streams of revenue through affiliate marketing, consulting, creating conferences and speaking.
And he’s here this week to talk about how we therapists can diversify our income streams and utilize our counselor strengths and skills to make more money.
He gives practical tips and ideas on getting started, ethical issues to consider, creating memberships, ecourses, and why we need to really know our audience’s pain points before we even start creating products for them. Plus he shares details on his upcoming conferences and how he helps therapists launch their private practices.
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Recently I was asked how I manage my time. Being a busy mom, wife, therapist, podcaster, chauffeur, cook, puppy wrangler,,just kidding on the puppy wrangler,,Billy does most of that …
Here’s the truth - I am very intentional in my time management. I take a look at all the things I want to get done and that need to get done and just prioritize as best as I can. I do love my shortcuts like my crock pot for batch cooking, getting up earlier than our girls and getting some work done, working out early in the morning because if I wait too long in the day my workouts don’t happen. I pretty much wear a uniform so I don’t have to think about what will I wear to work (it’s these pants, tank and cardigan..I can dress them up or down…you can learn about my favorite clothing brand, ZYIA active on my site). I just look for ways to make my life more efficient.
I hope this helps another busy person out there!

More than 427,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme Disease in the U.S. each year. This is more than Hepatitis C, HIV, colon cancer, and breast cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
However it is often inaccurately diagnosed. And many health care providers don’t understand the full range of affects nor the impact on patients. It is important for talk therapists to understand not just the physical symptoms but the mental health symptoms that may present with someone living with Lyme Disease.
On this episode, Ruschelle Khanna, LCSW shares her story as a patient and as a clinician. She wants to help you become a more Lyme-Informed talk therapist. On this episode she covers these 3 objectives:
- Identify at least four physical symptoms of Lyme Disease
- Listeners will be able to identify mental health symptoms of Lyme Disease that they may see in their practice.
- Listeners will be able to identify 3 clinical modalities helpful in working with those experiencing Lyme

And on this week's episode Cassidy shares her story and background and how she helps teens by being a truly authentic nerd and therapist.
Helping kids and teens feel better about themselves and build healthy connections with friends and family is an absolute joy for Cassidy.

There are so many incredible things to let you know about today’s guest, Dr. Vince Ward. I first met him when I was a graduate student in the Counselor Education program at the University of South Carolina and over the years we have run into each other at workshops and seminars. He always has a warm smile on his face and a kind word to offer. When I saw him last month at a VA event, I jumped at the opportunity to invite him onto the show.
Vince is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been mentored by a few of the best master therapists in the world, including Carl Whitaker and Robert A. Johnson. He draws on a number of techniques from a variety of approaches in his work. He is trained in Systemic, Psychodynamic, Jungian, and Gestalt therapies, among others. And as you will hear in our discussion, we share the same clinical supervisor, Dr. Russell Haber.
For today’s episode I asked Vince Ward to discuss whatever he wanted to in regards to the field of talk therapy. Vince has been a therapist for many years even before licensing was a "thing" and I am always interested to hear his perspective and take on ideas within our field and profession.
We cover quite a few topics and notions such as understanding the sides of the brain, the absence of the feminine in men, his view on telehealth, his road to becoming a therapist, what he hopes to be his legacy and why we therapists need to continue to work on ourselves and why we shouldn’t ever give up on self examination.
We hope you enjoy this episode.

Danielle Cevallos is an incredible content creator and copywriter. How do I know? I recently hired her to write copy for an ad I placed in the Low Country Mental Health Conference program guide. She asked me a couple of questions and within days she had a few options for me to choose from.
What I realized in this process is this - It’s not so much about our clinical jargon. It's not so much about the initials after our names. It’s more about how we solve problems for our ideal customers. Danielle had me get super clear on what I wanted the outcome to be. And from there, she wrote excellent ad copy!
If you’re wanting to get better at your content creation, then this episode is a gold mine of advice and tips. Danielle breaks down how you can talk to your audience, how to build your content out, and why being consistent, authentic and transparent on social media can do amazing things for your business.

Her passion for helping moms and kids enjoy life together comes out in everything she does. Deborah is fiercely committed to empowering moms and kids to build the foundation for a lifetime of happy, harmonious times together.

What sets her apart from other professionals is that her passion is the result of years of tears, tantrums, research and study. She has overcome huge challenges and achieved inspiring results for herself, her family and her clients. It’s deeply personal. She had to prove to herself that the evidence behind the strategies would get the results they promised. She combines strong credentials and professional training, with experience and determination to get lasting changes. She has discovered a deep respect for the parents and kids who have been her teachers and companions on the journey.
Over the years, her expertise has been honored with notable distinctions, including a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and a Master of Arts degree in Psychological Counseling, a National Counselor Board-Certification and State of Missouri License in Professional Counseling.
