Therapists Rising Podcast (Dr. Hayley Kelly)

Are you an overwhelmed, burnt-out therapist looking for something different? Do you feel called to play bigger, impact more lives, and create a business and life on your terms by leveraging your clinical expertise, WITHOUT sacrificing your wellbeing and your family?

Hi, I’m Dr. Hayley Kelly and I’m here to show you a different way. 

Welcome to the Therapists Rising Podcast, where we share real and raw behind the scenes stories and lessons from therapists who are thinking outside the traditional clinical box, and choosing to do things differently in their careers. 

It’s time to run a business you love, thrive financially, and live life on your own terms. 

Are you ready?  

“This could all fail, but we just have to sit with that and say, ‘I’m going to do it anyway.’” 

I’m so excited to introduce you to Dr. Hayley Watson, who transitioned from private practice to a career developing mental health curriculum programs at schools around the world.

Through her program Open Parachute, Hayley helps classes of teens in countries across the globe feel more comfortable opening up about their own struggles with mental health, loneliness, bullying, and more. 

In this inspiring interview, Dr. Hayley not only tells us about her incredible work, but also shares the fears that she had when transitioning to a career outside the clinical box. 

How do you create the time and income to free yourself up to live the life you want to live, while also remaining true to your service-oriented heart?

In this eye-opening chat with self-professed neurotic adventurer Dr. Amber Lyda, we talk about how to raise your prices and market yourself, without feeling gross. 

Here’s why the “charge your worth” mantra is BS, and the traditional “bro marketing” isn’t what you need to do to get clients. 

If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s that building a business and life that works for you doesn’t mean you’re a “bad person” and creating a better income for yourself will only allow you to serve more.

As therapists we’re conditioned not to open up about our own lives and struggles with our clients. However, this can be one of the best ways we can serve our clients as coaches!

In this impactful chat, Sally-Anne Kriel shares her story of surviving bowel cancer, and how it motivated her to create a career helping other cancer survivors.  

So if you’re struggling to open up and share your own story with your clients, I hope this message from Sally lets you feel a bit more comfortable being vulnerable in business.

The fear of stepping out and doing something different often stops therapists in their tracks. What will people think of me? Will they attack me? Will I get in trouble?

Today I’m chatting with EFT Tapping Expert Peta Stapleton, who has been a huge proponent of tapping in therapy and mental health for decades. 

We not only talk about the benefits of tapping for both clients and dealing with burnout as a clinician, but also dealing with that fear of doing something different and fighting for practices you believe in.

Marketing and copywriting can be a huge struggle for most therapist entrepreneurs. How do you promote yourself without feeling gross and salesy? How do you write in a less technical way and truly explain what you do and how you can help?

Today I’m bringing on MY copywriter Che Johnson to talk about her transition from social work to professional copywriter, and teach you how to connect to your audience with copy that truly represents you and your business (and doesn’t feel like a sleazy marketing tactic). 

For more on Che Johnson be sure to visit her website at www.chejohnson.com.au or find her on Instagram at www.instagram.com/chejohnson_

Can you really apply your clinical skills to a coaching practice? In this episode Dr. Tracey Hunter and Dr. Rachel Wheeler of the Wellbeing Codes talk about how they’ve used the therapy concept of “schemas” in their own coaching business.

Transitioning to coaching has allowed them to create a feminine-energy business with “hell no” non-negotiables so that they can prioritze their own happiness and mental health, while helping more people, and making an income to do what they love. 

You have the skills to create a coaching business that’s aligned to you, and this episode is here to help you think outside of that box. 

For more from Tracey Hunter and Rachel Wheeler, be sure to visit their website https://www.thewellbeingcodes.com/

What’s it really like to make the transition from therapy to coaching? How do you deal with the judgement and negativity from those around you while making this transition (especially from other therapists?)

What about the legal side… can I still keep my therapy practice? How do I make sure that I don’t get in trouble?

This week Lee Chaix McDonough and I are talking about making that scary transition from therapy to coaching, and what that truly looks like. If you want to make the transition yourself, be sure to give this episode a listen!

Bravery is infectious, and once you find other people who are thinking outside of the box, it’s so much easier for you to branch out in your therapy career too.

The theme of this week is discovering your passion and finding a tribe of like-minded people who can help you on your path to expanding your career and impact. 

Joining me is clinical psychologist Dr. Stan Steindl, who has a wealth of wisdom to share from his vast experience in the field of psychology.

Time and time again, marketing seems to be one of the biggest thorns in the side of therapists who want to diversify and transition to coaching. 

As multi-passionate entrepreneurs who are so used to helping everyone as therapists, it can feel a bit counterintuitive to narrow down your pool of potential clients. 

So today I’m bringing on business marketing expert Jessica Osborn to talk about why niching and creating an ideal client is one of the best things you can possibly do to grow your business. 

Want to hear more from Jess? Head to her website https://www.jessicaosborn.com/ or Instagram @jessica.osborn 

Why is it that some months it feels like we can get it all done. We master our to-do list, hit those difficult workouts, and have no trouble posting to social media… But then a few days later we just want to lay around in sweats and have no desire to get anything done?

This is because we’re working within a masculine 24-hour cycle, rather than the femal monthly cycle. 

Sure, we all know that during our period it’s hard to show up and get work done, but what about the other three weeks of the month? Is there anything we can get done during that menstruation time? What if you’ve hit menopause already??

In this episode, Renae is here to teach us how to access the superpower of each week in our cycle, while also sharing her story of the struggles she encountered when transitioning to a coaching career.

Want to hear more from Renae? Check her out on the Cycle Advantage Podcast and at renaefieck.com

One of the best things about transitioning from therapy to coaching is the fact that there are fewer restrictions on what you’re allowed to teach or use when helping people. 

This is why I’m so excited to introduce Karolyn McKinley who transitioned from therapist to coach so that she could fully use spirituality and woo in her abundance coaching practice. 

Listen in as we discuss her incredible journey from therapist to coach and unpack the differences between the two. We’ll also discuss the pressure on therapists to always put others first, and how this is a recipe for burnout.

When was the last time you slowed down or took time off for yourself? Are you repeating the toxic narratives like, “I can’t take time off, my clients need me!!”

Are you taking care of your own mental and physical health right now? 

Today I’m speaking with Dr. Hayley D. Quinn about burnout, toxic narratives and the importance of self-care for therapists. Because you need to create a life FIRST, and a business that fits into that second.

What happens when your entire life revolves around training and competing… and then an injury rips it all away?

Today I’m talking with Keagen Hadley, who had his dream of being a semi-professional football player taken from him overnight with a torn ACL. This experience inspired him to turn pain into passion and focus on the mental health component of occupational therapy to help other athletes recover from the disappointment and loss caused by injury. 

Keagen has recently published a book “Torn” where he helps other athletes who are struggling with ACL injuries.

For Emma Gray, if something feels heavy or out of alignment, she sets it aside and doesn’t do it. 

How then, is Emma a successful therapist and meditation coach who and best-selling author?! If you’re not constantly pushing and hustling, how do you ever achieve your goals or succeed in your career?

Emma has learned the power of tapping into her inner wisdom through meditation and calming the nervous system, and has learned how to listen to her own intuition to build a business that’s in alignment and flow for her. Now she’s here to help you do the same. 

If you love this episode, be sure to read Emma’s book: Inspired Living.

Are you struggling to raise your kids in the way that you want while also focusing on your busy therapist career?

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Sascha Kowalenko about her mission to challenge social and gender norms to make life easier for women who want a thriving career and a loving family. She also shares with us her own career transition from clinical psychologist to coach, and how it has impacted her own motherhood journey so that she can spend time with her four kids. 

Driven by a deep sense of purpose in ensuring that high-achieving women feel less alone and defeat the beast that is Imposter Syndrome, Dr Sascha facilitates groups of like-minded and -spirited women to join together via courses, coaching and luxe retreats, both in-person and online.

If you love this episode, be sure to visit drsascha.com.au and check out her upcoming women’s retreat in Brisbane this August! 

You spend all this time creating your online course or coaching program and… crickets. What do you do when a launch fails, or when your program isn’t as successful as you would’ve hoped?

What if you put all this effort into creating and launching something and no one buys??!! 

In this session I’m going to do some live business coaching with Jamie Simkins who recently launched a new version of her coaching program and didn’t have any sales. I’ll chat with her to see how we can tweak her offer and marketing strategy, so that she can find her perfect customers and truly make an impact. 

We’re going to do a deep dive into what she’s done in the past and work together to create a plan to help her take her coaching business to the next level. 

So if you’ve ever wondered what business coaching is like with me, come have a listen!

What do you do when you are filled to the brim with clients and need to turn people away?

In this episode with Lauren Hancock, we dive deep into her experience transitioning from therapy to consulting and start ups. How do you create your own business that works for you? How do you hire a team to fill in your blind spots? 

Lauren currently works as a consultant, helping leaders optimise their mental health and relationships, and she’s so successful she needs to start hiring people! 

If you’re looking to create a thriving business that aligns with you, be sure to give this episode a listen!

People are flocking to yoga for help with mental health… but most yoga teachers don’t have any sort of psychology background!

But what if we could take these very different fields and combine them together to better help people with accessible and affordable mental health support?

Lauren Tober is following her passion for mental health and yoga by building a business that creates a combination of her two passions, with summits, certifications and more. So if you’re looking to see how you can do the same, give this episode a listen! 

PS… The Mental Health + Yoga Summit is starting on the 29th of August. It's online over 5 days, free, and designed for Yoga Teachers interested in Mental Health, and Mental Health Professionals interested in Yoga. Details are at mentalhealthandyogasummit.com

Registration for the online Mental Health Aware Yoga training (for Yoga Teachers and Teacher-in-Training) opens on the 5th Sept at www.mentalhealthawareyoga.com

So many psychologists and mental health professionals use Power Diary to manage their practice, but did you know that the founder is a psychologist himself?

That’s right, Power Diary founder Damien Adler was so frustrated with the state of admin, client bookings, and the horrible clunky software on the market, that he created his own software program! 

What started as a way to keep his private practice running smoothly eventually transitioned into a full software business that makes an impact around the world. 

Interested in giving Power Diary a try for yourself? Head to powerdiary.com to get started with your free trial! 

Where is the line between therapy and coaching? How do you branch into coaching without getting into trouble with your regulatory board? How do you explain the difference to clients?!

While there is no clear line between therapy and coaching, I’m going to outline some of the major differences in this episode, taken from a live call I had in my Therapist to Coach Revolution Facebook group! 

If you want to meet other therapists who are branching out into coaching, and get your specific questions answered, come and join us in the Therapist to Coach Revolution Facebook Group!

I think we all know the therapy world can be rigid and restrictive. But what if you want to branch out and help people with methods that aren’t approved? And what if you’re so burnt out from 1-1s that you’re not standing in alignment with the principles you teach?

In this episode I interview Alisha Weston, who has recently branched into holistic health coaching, teaching Reiki, Kinesiology, breathwork, Yoga, and Energy Medicine while also maintaining her therapy practice.

How do you find that balance in your career and life, while also staying true to your purpose and helping others? Is it possible to have a practice and coach? 

We’ll be exploring all of this and more in this fantastic episode.

What could psychology and boudoir photography possibly have in common? A lot more than you might think! 

Former psychologist boudoir photographer Tahlia Simone (otherwise known as Nat Thomas), joins us today to talk about her journey from clinical psychologist to empowering and inclusive boudoir photographer. 

What do you do if in your gut you know 1-1 clinical psychology isn’t right for you? How can you use your skills to do something you love that is empowering and helps people heal? Tahlia Simone gets deep with us about her struggles as a square peg in a round hole, and the steps she took to create a business aligned to her. 

For more from Tahlia Simone, head to her website heartfireboudoir.com.au

For most therapists, transitioning from 1-1 therapy to speaking in front of hundreds (or thousands) can be an incredibly daunting task. 

How do you attract an audience, spread your message, and stand out in an authentic way if public speaking, webinars, and social media marketing make you feel sick to your stomach? 

This week I’m speaking with Katherine Beck, professional voice actor turned voice coach for entrepreneurs. Katherine specializes in helping entrepreneurs how to stand out as a coach by finding your authentic voice so you can better connect with your audience.

As adults, we all feel the pressure to have a drink, or few, at social events. If you aren’t drinking at a social event, you’ll find yourself typically having to justify why you aren’t drinking. Are you pregnant? Is everything okay? What’s wrong with you? 

Today, Hayley is joined by special guest, Kirsten Chalmers. Kirsten has over 12 years experience as a psychologist, primarily helping clients with anxiety and depressive disorders, ADHD, OCD and  social anxiety disorders. Kirsten has special interests in burnout, executive stress, perfectionism, career transition and mindful drinking. Having been on her own mindful drinking journey, Kirsten found the lack of options when looking for 0% alcohol beverages that weren’t sugary fruit juices. With this realisation came the birth of Kirsten’s business, Point Zero Cellars. The mission is to normalise mindful drinking and give options to those wanting to start their mindful drinking journey.

Therapists and Psychologists do not get enough credit for the work they provide within our communities. It’s not easy to unmask the “role” they are boxed into, to know, who am I? What are my beliefs? And what impact do I want to have?

Today Hayley is joined by Kirstin Bouse, Kirstin is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with 25 years of experience. Kirstin has spent her career in corrections, prisons, private hospitals, child protection agencies and university. But the most significant portion of Kirstin’s career has been spent in private practice. For the past 16 years, Kirstin has been the owner of a group practice; Perth Psychology Collective.

I LOVE a great story of inspiration, impact and personal progress.
Today's episode is a replay of one of our Meet The Alumni calls.

Wildly inspiring? That and more.

I'm chatting with three of the Class of 2022 Incubator alumni. 
Introducing:

Dr. Nat Green - Psychologist, Money Mindset Coach

Previous to joining the Incubator she was a successful business owner of a multidisciplinary clinic. But she was unhappy and not confident. Her solution was to get into “perpetual student” mode - another degree, another course of study. The Incubator helped build her self confidence. She’s grown so much in 1 year that she has presented at successful business retreats and is now a bestselling author and been featured in Empower Magazine. 

Liana Harris - Psychologist & Women’s Mindset Coach 

During the Incubator Liana’s self confidence was completely transformed. She has launched her first course supporting young women and is getting great positive feedback about her coaching program. Hear her tell how she landed her first paying coaching clients. 

Alison Dougall - Psychologist, Mindfulness and Wellbeing Coach for women

Before the Incubator Alison was going around in circles, not actually progressing and spending a lot of money on training. Her confidence has now soared, and she’s launched her first course supporting women, of which the proceeds support girls in Cambodia to stay in school and avoid the sex trafficking trade.

The Therapists Rising INCUBATOR is now open for enrolment. Go to therapistsrising.com/incubator to find out more.  

Today I'm releasing part 2 of the talks with another 2 graduates of the Class of 2022  Business Incubator. Introducing:

Kerry Evetts - Occupational Therapist and Founder of SenseUp
A specialist in sensory therapy for ND clients, she has developed and launched specialised coaching programs for her clientele and has created and run multiple successful and profitable webinars. Kerry is on a mission to impact #1millionkids!

Dr. Natasha Davidson - Psychologist & High Performance Coach
Dr  Natasha used the Incubator to finally nail her niche! Her confidence has skyrocketed and she created and sold her signature coaching package for elite athletes. She now is developing a reputation and brand in multiple elite sports organisations.

Today I'm releasing the final Meet The Alumni recording, but this episode is a little different. I'm chatting with 2 graduates of the Class of 2022  Business Incubator who have now joined my team as mentors and coaches. I hope it inspires you further as to the possibilities with your own careers and businesses.

Introducing:

Emma Gray - Mindfulness & Soul Coach
Emma has complete clarity on her vision and mission. She created and launched several successful group programs including a highly successful high-end retreat. She feels empowered and confident to truly step into her values and who she is and is earning exponentially more than she ever has. And to top that off she also became a best-selling author! All in the last 12 months. 

Rachelle Matheson - International Women's Empowerment and Mindset Coach
Rachelle has had a complete breakthrough when it comes to life and business. Through the Incubator she was able to finally nail her niche, has truly stepped into her vision, and subsequently launched a successful pilot of her group coaching program.

Welcome to Season 4!

We are kicking off this season with something new and something very vulnerable. ... Today marks the first installment of our brand new monthly series, Unmasked Musings. 

It comes as no surprise that we have been fed some major lies when it comes to building a business. Entrepreneurs/leaders have been conditioned to think that they have to wear a mask - a mask that says ‘Look! I’ve got all my sh!t together so trust me, trust me!’, however....

People are growing tired of the noise, the masks, and the highlight reels…

And they’re craving truth, humanness, and authenticity.

THIS truly is what will make businesses of the future thrive.

Want more refreshing business truths like this to flood your ears and mind and heart?

Well, that is what you will be getting each and every month in our Unmasked Musing - This unfiltered AF episode dives even more deeply into this topic of wearing masks and saving face in business (specifically my unadulterated experience!)… we hope you enjoy!

We are back with the second installment of our new monthly segment of Unmasked Musings where we lament on the month that was and deep dive into the behind-the-scenes lessons and truths of stepping out of the therapy chair and building an impactful business.
 
Today Hayley discusses a theme that has come up for many students this month in the Incubator.... which just happens to be a very particular form of cognitive bias that quite often makes change and goal attainment difficult (and sometimes downright painful!). And it's also something that is rarely spoken about in the business world.

Want to know which cognitive bias it is? Tune in to find out!

Today we are bringing you an episode packed full of sparkles and glitter! We are joined by Julie Soul from Soul Sparkletts Art, an art-based membership program for homeschoolers and teachers. Not only does Julie have a psychology degree, but she is also a dedicated homeschooling mum who built this membership-based business, which is now turning over half a million dollars in revenue a year!

During the conversation, we cover:

- Julie’s accidental journey into creating a membership, her lessons learned, and her plans to expand into a new membership market

-  Membership misconceptions (like that memberships are always low-ticket offerings, and therefore can’t generate revenue as readily as courses, which is false, false, false!)

- How to know what to provide/include in your membership (because truly, no two memberships are the same!)

- How to get people into and retain them in your membership

- And using feedback from your community and exit interviews to improve your membership.

If you're interested in building a profitable membership, Julie's journey offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective, demonstrating that therapists don't have to follow the expected path of courses and programs, and can instead create successful membership-based businesses. So grab your glitter and get ready to dive into the world of memberships with Julie Soul.

In this month's Unmasked Monthly Musing episode, we have an intense unmasked discussion about a recent experience Hayley had at a coaching event. And although Hayley grappled with sharing this, she wanted to share this experience openly and honestly as it sheds light on the importance of proper training and expertise in the coaching industry.

The coaching industry, like the mental health field, has its share of good and bad practitioners. It is crucial that we strive for higher standards and ensure that coaches are adequately trained and educated. Currently, there is a prevailing trend of coaches learning techniques without proper context and passing them on to others without understanding the potential harm they may cause. This lack of awareness can lead to dangerous situations and legal complications. As therapists, we understand the significance of creating a safe and regulated environment for our clients, and the same should be expected from coaches.

But this episode isn’t just a commentary on the dark side of the entrepreneurial world, it’s a deep reflection on…

- What it truly means to live a values-embodied and driven life, and run and grow a values-embodied and driven business

- How we can stay true to our values, even when it means jeopardizing opportunities and sometimes even risking damaging our reputation

- How to be discerning about who you learn from and what they are teaching, even when they are perceived as the ‘guru’ in their field

- And some of the issues with the coaching industry, and why the Therapists Rising team is dedicated to supporting more regulated therapists, who have backgrounds in trauma-informed therapy, to step into these roles.

We hope you enjoy this candid conversation.

If you’re a therapist who has ever felt disillusioned or fed up with the system, then this episode is for you! Today, Hayley is joined by Dr. Bronwyn Milkins, an inspiring and fiery early career psychologist, host of the Mental Work podcast, and fierce advocate for innovation and progress in the mental health field. 

When Bronwyn isn’t busy seeing 1:1 clients in her clinical practice, you'll find her speaking out about the injustices and harms of the system in order to help her fellow early-career therapists unpack the everyday challenges they face, so they don’t have to go it alone.

Given Hayley's own experiences of burnout working as a psych, this conversation is extremely close to her heart.

Here are just some of the juicy topics Bronwyn and Hayley explored:

- Harmful supervision experiences and unethical workplace practices

- The need for a more diverse psych workforce in terms of race, gender, socioeconomic background, and neurodiversity

-  The need for outdated professional beliefs and norms to be challenged within the field of psychology

- The ethics (or lack thereof) of provisional psychologists being used as free labour, and the need to make it more financially viable for workplaces to host students

- The lack of collegiality and support in the field, and the need for community that many psychs are craving and desperately needing.

And lots lots more.

This is the kind of podcast conversation that you’re going to want to chat with your industry friends about, so be sure to pass the link on to them! And please, don't forget to give the show a rating and subscribe so we can reach more therapists, just like you!

In 2015, when Mim was off work undergoing chemo and radiation, she taught herself how to make stickers as a creative outlet, passion project, and act of self-care.
Fast forward 8 years and her business, Love From Mim has grown to multi-6-figures and she’s taught over 10,000 students from all over the world to make and sell stickers - many of whom have gone on to create very financially abundant sticker businesses themselves.

Not only is Mim an incredible example of how following your passion can lead to purpose and abundance she’s also built huge online followings across many platforms, is an incredibly savvy and values-led business owner, and just happens to be a mentor and friend to Hayley.

In this conversation, Mim and Hayley discuss:

- How her personal journey with cancer and mental health challenges reshaped her priorities

- Trusting your path and intuition, even when it doesn’t make crystal clear sense

- Creating a business that aligns with your personal values and dream lifestyle, rather than trying to fit into the status quo, conform to industry norms or emulate other people’s business models

- The common mistakes people make when building their businesses, such as not reinvesting profits back into marketing and audience growth

- And the key traits of a successful entrepreneur (that you can nurture and build within yourself!)

We hope enjoy this conversation today with Mim, and we hope it ignites your desire to ruthlessly chase your passions in life.

Welcome back to the latest installment of our VERY popular Unmasked Monthly Musing segment! In today's episode, we're exploring the power of bragging and celebrating success. Last month's episode sparked an overwhelming response, highlighting the need to create a safe space to discuss important industry issues.

Let me share a transformative event that led to self-reflection. At a mastermind retreat focused on self-development, I encountered a phrase, "Well Bragged," that triggered me. It made me realize how societal conditioning discourages self-promotion and celebrating achievements.

As therapists, we struggle with celebrating ourselves and each other. It's time to change that narrative. Let's foster a supportive and collaborative environment by bragging about each other's successes and building our identity capital.

Here's a call to action:

1. Celebrate Your Peers: Publicly acknowledge your colleagues' accomplishments.
2. Create a Brag Book: Write down your achievements regularly to challenge your inner critic.
3. Brag About Yourself: Join the social post where we'll celebrate our accomplishments together.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this captivating episode, we embark on a heartfelt journey with Dr. Frankie Harrison, a UK-based clinical psychologist, and Co-Founder of Miracle Moon.

Frankie candidly shares about the unexpected turn her life took when she gave birth at 31 weeks following preeclampsia during pregnancy and the subsequent trauma that followed. With support from a fellow mum [Georgie], Frankie and Georgie harnessed their shared NICU experiences to create an empowering online platform called "Miracle Moon UK" - a safe haven where parents' emotional struggles are openly discussed, breaking the silence around the often-overlooked impacts of neonatal care and birth trauma.

In this conversation, Frankie and I also explore:

- How she has navigates the boundaries between her personal lived experience and her professional role as a regulated health professional

- How she has successfully created a niche business in an area that’s not openly spoken about

- The power of community for the people you support, and how she’s harnessed community to grow Miracle Moon

- The emotional impact of neonatal care on parents, the lack of support available, and the prevalence of trauma and PTSD among parents who have been through this experience - and how her personal experience in this system fuelled her vision and mission

- How she has diversified her work and income and evolved beyond the 1:1 ‘Therapy Chair

Tune in to this enlightening episode for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of community, vulnerability, and empathy in our journeys toward healing.

Join me as I interview my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Martiene Van Steyn, from Business in Box. Martiene is a brand specialist and remote business owner who has spent the last 12 months traveling the world while running her online business, visiting a total of 18 countries during her travels!

In this episode, we explore the world of remote work and travel as we discuss the realities, challenges, and essential skills and structures that contribute to a seamless and fulfilling experience.

Martiene shares the highs, lows, unexpected hurdles, and personal growth that come from extended travel. From managing health concerns while abroad to optimizing work routines and finding authentic self-discovery, this episode is packed with practical advice and inspiring narratives for therapists craving more freedom.

We also cover:

- The realities of running a business while traveling (because as wonderful as it is, it’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows)

- Navigating practical challenges related to remote working and balancing the business and the personal when you’re ‘on the road’

- Dealing with fluctuating income (which is relevant for all therapist entrepreneurs!) and managing clients when you’re on the move

- Setting yourself up for remote working success - and the things Martiene wishes she’d known and done prior to embarking on her remote working adventure

- How remote working and living overseas for 12 months supported Martiene’s personal growth.

Given that the majority of therapists who come into our community desire to be location-independent and/or travel more freely without being tied to the therapy chair - I know this episode will resonate with you!

Welcome to our August installment of the uber-popular series, Unmasked Monthly Musings. This month we have a fun (but potentially close-to-home) conversation that we think you will love!

If you're a therapist who's taken the courageous step towards diversifying your income and impact through new avenues, you're likely familiar with these inner dialogues:

💭 "I'm putting in effort, but where are the results? What am I missing?"
💭 "This is tough. Should I just stick to my therapy business?"
💭 "I've been at this for months. Shouldn't I be further along?"
💭 "She's light-years ahead. Why am I lagging behind?"
💭 "Am I crazy for doing this? What's my plan?"

If you've had these thoughts, you're in good company. These are the thoughts swirling through the minds of therapists as they jump into their journey to expand beyond the therapy room and support clients in innovative ways. And guess what? These feelings are absolutely normal, even if you've been a therapist for years! (*sorry, you're not immune!)

We've noticed that many therapists in our community grapple with the challenge of "starting from scratch". It's understandable, given your years of mastering therapy and building a thriving practice. This phase, though natural, often becomes overwhelming for some, causing them to reconsider and revert to the comfort of the "Therapy Chair."

However, we're not about to let any therapist abandon their dream of innovating and evolving their work and practicing in a way that aligns with their values, passions, and desired lifestyle. That's why this week's podcast episode is entirely devoted to aiding you in not just surviving but thriving in this messy middle as you evolve from therapist to therapist entrepreneur.

During this episode, we dive into a 4-stage model of learning that mirrors this pivotal phase, highlighting the "high risk" stage that could lead to giving up. We're here to ensure that doesn't happen. Our aim is to provide you with practical, tried-and-true tips that will empower you to persevere, pushing towards mastery, success, and the fulfilling life you've envisioned.

We hope you love this episode and if our podcast has been helpful to you in any way, we need your help - we'd love for you to pay it forward and leave us a rating. It will only take a couple of minutes of your time but will have a profound impact by helping us to reach more therapists just like you. We truly appreciate you and hope we can continue serving you for as long as humanly possible!

Today's episode is a conversation and topic that is deeply close to my heart... it's a conversation about burnout. And it's a struggle that I know so many of us face -  that's why I sat down with fellow therapist, Rebecca Black from Sustainable Therapists to deep dive into therapist burnout and recovery.

Rebecca, who has experienced her own battles with burnout and chronic health conditions, now dedicates herself to helping therapists create the balanced and fulfilling lives they once dreamt of, even amidst the demands of clinical practice. She's not just knowledgeable, but also lives and breathes the principles she imparts about working and living sustainably and joyfully - and also happens to be one of our incredible Incubator alumni.

In this episode, Rebecca and I explore:

- The subtle yet powerful shifts therapists and therapist entrepreneurs can make to support their wellbeing and craft more sustainable ways of working.

- Examining the unhealthy and unhelpful industry norms that can detrimentally affect therapists' health and happiness. (Yes, the myth that an overflowing caseload equals being a 'good' therapist is discussed).

- Navigating the challenge of balancing the value of contributing to the world with self-sacrifice, emphasizing the crucial role of setting boundaries in this process.

- Practical tips on fostering self-care, self-connection, and self-discovery, especially for those accustomed to giving to others continuously.

- Insights into the therapist entrepreneur journey, and how you can diversify your income while being of service to others in fresh, innovative ways that support your own wellbeing.

Whether you're still rooted in the 'Therapy Chair' or have begun exploring other online offerings (a journey that, if not approached mindfully, can also lead to burnout), this conversation with Rebecca is bound to be immensely supportive.

***Today's episode comes with a trigger warning: Pregnancy loss is discussed




What I’ve learned about business, life, and being a therapist after experiencing a devastating loss...



We were recently thrown a huge unexpected curve ball when I fell pregnant... and soon after found out the pregnancy was not viable. In an instant, our lives changed dramatically.

All of this unfolded in the midst of running a multi-six business, onboarding 3 new staff members, and my son becoming concerningly unwell. Life was an absolute sh!tshow, to say the least!

The past month has certainly made me realize how incredibly difficult it is to show up professionally (especially when working clinically!) when we are struggling personally.

This month's unmasked monthly musing isn’t simply a personal share…

It’s a call to action for my fellow therapists.

The 1:1 therapy space is not designed to support your health, your happiness, or your finances, and quite frankly, you deserve more.

At some point in time, we are all brought to our knees by life and I desperately want your work to support you to prioritise your healing and happiness when it does.

If you’re ever going to tune into a podcast episode of mine then please, let it be this one.

Welcome to the November installment of our Unmasked Monthly Musing! This time, we're diving deep into a topic that's all too familiar for many of us - the trap of comparison. It's something we've all faced, especially when we're putting ourselves out there and creating online programs. It's easy to look at others and feel like we're falling short, but today, our host, Dr. Hayley Kelly, is here to guide us through this challenging terrain.

In this conversation, Dr. Hayley explores the detrimental effects of comparison, from feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome to anxiety and self-doubt. But it's not all doom and gloom! She introduces us to powerful concepts from "The Gap and The Gain," a transformative book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. These concepts help us shift our focus from where we think we should be (the gap) to how far we've come (the gain).

**Key Takeaways:**

1. **Beware of the Comparison Trap** (00:02:15): We've all been there - comparing ourselves to others and feeling like we're falling short. Dr. Hayley shares how this can lead to feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and self-doubt, often stifling our creativity and productivity.

2. **Understanding The Gap and The Gain** (00:08:20): Dr. Hayley introduces us to "The Gap and The Gain," a book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. The book talks about the gap – the space between where we are now and our goals, and the gain – the progress we've made from where we started.

3. **Celebrating the Gain** (00:14:22): Instead of focusing on the gap, let's celebrate our gains, no matter how small. It's about finding gratitude in our achievements and using them to fuel our journey forward.

4. **Reframing Unmet Goals** (00:20:10 - 00:24:48): Didn't meet a goal? That's okay! It's not a failure but an opportunity to reflect, grow, and reassess. Remember, it's about the journey, not just the outcome. Let's celebrate our victories, big and small, and learn from our unachieved goals.

5. **Embrace Being a Lifelong Learner** (00:27:37 - 00:31:55): It's okay not to know everything. In fact, being the "dumbest" person in the room can open up opportunities for learning, collaboration, and innovation.

6. **Your Future Self as Your Guide** (00:32:14 - 00:36:16): Imagine your future self. Where do you want to be? Use this vision to guide your progress and pull you forward. This concept, known as future pacing, can serve as our compass, giving direction and focus to our energy.

From understanding the trap of comparison to celebrating our gains and using our future self as a guiding light, we've explored transformative concepts that can fuel our growth and success. Remember, it's not about being the "smartest" in the room, but about being open to learning, collaboration, and innovation. So, the next time you feel like you're ready to give up, come back to this episode, reflect on these insights, and remember - your journey is unique, and every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory worth celebrating.

In this recent "Therapist Rising" podcast episode, I recounted an incredible in-person event for the incubator that surpassed all my expectations. Gathering about 40 therapists in Sydney for an intense two-day session on business training, skills, and mindsets was a significant highlight. The unexpected Awards night turned emotional, bringing tears, joy, and a profound sense of accomplishment among all attendees.

During my workshop presentation, I openly admitted that my new framework might not be perfect, asking for understanding and room for growth. Surprisingly, a therapist approached me afterward, expressing how empowering it was to receive permission to embrace imperfections.

Reflecting on therapists' fear of judgment, I highlighted how professional standards and societal expectations intensify this fear. However, I encouraged reframing this fear as an opportunity for connection, relatability, and authenticity.

It's important not to let a few negative comments overshadow the numerous positive responses when stepping into visibility. The key is acknowledging that visibility attracts both positive and negative attention while focusing on the impact of authenticity over the fear of judgment.

Key Takeaways:

1. Embrace imperfection: My vulnerability in presenting an unfinished framework empowered others to accept their imperfections.
2. Challenge fear of judgment: Professional standards intensify the fear, but reframing it as an opportunity for connection can be liberating.
3. Don't let negativity overshadow positivity: While negative comments might arise, focusing on overwhelming positive responses is crucial in maintaining authenticity.
4. Stepping into visibility: Accept that visibility attracts both positive and negative attention, but focus on the impact of authenticity over fear of judgment.

Let's rally around the idea that our imperfections, both in our profession and personal lives, are what make us truly unique and relatable. It's okay to show vulnerability; it's what connects us on a deeper level. So, let's ditch the fear of being judged and step confidently into the spotlight. By sharing our real, unfiltered experiences, we not only empower ourselves but also leave a lasting impact on our clients, communities, and the therapy field. It's our time to shine and inspire others to do the same!

Hey there, fellow therapist entrepreneur! If you're embarking on the journey of evolving from the therapy chair to establishing an online presence, this episode is for you!

I see you - the therapist with a passion for helping others, seeking to expand your impact and create a business beyond the traditional therapy setting. You're brave for stepping into this realm, and trust me, I know firsthand the challenges that come with this transition and the common pitfalls of creating an online program.

Stepping into entrepreneurship as a therapist can feel daunting. You might grapple with uncertainty, feeling overwhelmed, or unsure of how to evolve your practice. But here's the truth: these feelings are a natural part of the journey. I've navigated these waters myself, reflecting on what I'd do differently if I were starting over to build an online program and business.

Let me be clear – my mistakes have been my best teachers. However, I'm here to share insights that could save you time, money, and unnecessary stress as you carve your unique path in the online world.

So, let's dive in! Grab your notebook and a cuppa and get ready to jot down these top five strategies I'd employ if I were to start all over again tomorrow.

Key Takeaways:

Lesson 1: Tracking Crucial Metrics

From day one, I've realized the power of tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics. Despite initial reservations about numbers, I've come to see their indispensable value in understanding business performance and growth. We're talking podcast analytics, audience metrics (like Instagram growth and engagement), email list stats (growth, open rates, click-through rates), and website traffic.

Why does this matter? Well, tracking metrics allows for informed decision-making and empowers experimentation to optimize content. It's all about learning what works best for your audience.

Lesson 2: Building and Engaging Your Audience

Before diving into content creation, it's crucial to focus on audience building. Define your ideal audience, create valuable content, engage actively, and foster a sense of community. Trust me, this forms the bedrock of a successful online program.

Human connection is key here. Building engagement and a sense of community fosters trust, leading to deeper connections and a willingness to invest in your offerings.

Lesson 3: Consistent Content Creation

Content is king, and consistency is queen! It's not just about producing material; it's about offering value consistently. Take my podcast; it's been a game-changer for engaging my audience, building credibility, and guiding them on their journey.

Strategic planning is everything. Understanding your audience's needs and aligning your content strategy accordingly is a game-changer. Trust me, a content calendar is a lifesaver! Batch content production and project management have streamlined my workflow, ensuring quality without compromising consistency.

Lesson 4: The Importance of Project Management

Implementing a project management system has transformed my efficiency. Organizing tasks, streamlining workflows, and eliminating mental clutter have significantly impacted the success of my business.

Lesson 5: Creating a 12-month Promotional Calendar

Planning promotions well in advance has been a game-changer. It helps structure content, engage the audience, reduce overwhelm, and provide ample preparation time.

These lessons aren't just theoretical; they're practical strategies that have transformed my online program creation journey. Whether you're starting out or looking to boost your existing business, these insights can work wonders for you too.

So, if you're aiming to establish a successful online program or dive into the digital business world, this podcast episode is a goldmine of actionable strategies and insights

Ready to dive into the world of online programs? Well, today’s episode is all about addressing the MOST common question we get from our audience, which is "Hayley, is an online program right for me?" - so we are diving into whether creating an online program suits you and your therapy business. Trust me, I've seen it all, and I’m about to spill the beans on how therapists just like you can work smarter, not harder.

We've got four types of therapists on the radar, and each one is eyeing the online program scene for different reasons. Let's kick things off with Sarah, our Passionate Therapist. Picture Sarah as the superhero who loves her work but is drowning in the demands of her private practice. If you’re nodding along, feeling that burnout and longing for more hours in the day, Sarah’s story might just be your calling.

Then there's Michael, our Visionary Therapist. He’s got innovative ideas coming out of his ears but feels a bit overwhelmed about transforming these grand visions into a real online program. Sound familiar? If you’ve got a fountain of innovative ideas but feel a bit lost in the online labyrinth, you’re in the right spot.

Now, meet Laura, our Innovative Therapist. She dived headfirst into the online program world but hit a few bumps along the way. Sometimes, even the most innovative minds need a little help fine-tuning their online programs. If you’ve launched a program that didn’t take off as planned, Laura's story might resonate.

Lastly, there’s Gemma, our Advocate Therapist. She’s on a mission to make therapy accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live or their financial situation. If you’re passionate about breaking barriers and expanding access to therapy, Gemma’s story could be your guiding light.

Throughout the episode, I’ll sprinkle in real-life stories of therapists who’ve all taken their therapy game to the next level with online programs. You’ll learn how these therapists navigated the challenges, revamped their strategies, and found success in the digital realm.

Now, if you’re thinking, “Hey, I want a piece of this online program action,” believe me, it’s a game-changer. Think of it as a stress-relieving sidekick to your practice, a lifeline during slow periods, and even a consistent income source when life throws you a curveball.

So, whether you're an early career therapist or a seasoned pro, diving into the world of online programs is a transformative move. Trust me on this—your therapy game is about to get a serious upgrade.

That’s a wrap for today. Until next time, keep hustling and innovating!

In today's episode, we're tackling a common myth head-on—the notion that successful online programs are reserved for those "out there," the ones with massive followings and lengthy email lists, the ones with the skills in marketing and sales. In this mini-episode, I’m here to give you a loving reframe and a gentle kick in the butt you might be needing right now.

It's not about the size of your email list; it's about attracting the right people and how you nurture those relationships. It's about the quality of your connections, not the quantity. And guess what? As therapists, you're already masters of building meaningful relationships. That's a skill that's not only transferable but invaluable in the digital space. Today, we're going to uncover how your expertise as a therapist can translate into a successful online program. You'll learn how to leverage your innate strengths to not just join the online program space but to truly excel in it. We'll also delve into practical strategies for creating deep connections with a smaller audience and leveraging your therapeutic expertise to craft compelling content. Plus, I'll be sharing my personal story of how I created over $90k in revenue in just four days with a $15k offer and a tiny audience.

Key Takeaways:

• The size of your email list is less important than the quality of connections you make.
• Your therapeutic skills are highly transferable to online marketing and program creation.
• Authenticity and trust are crucial in nurturing your online audience.
• Storytelling, case studies, and personal experiences can greatly enhance your program's appeal.

As we conclude, remember that your journey to a successful online program doesn't require you to change who you are - it's about harnessing the skills you already possess as a therapist and applying them in new, innovative ways.

If you enjoyed this episode, I would be so grateful if you would share it with a therapist friend who might need to hear this message today.

Hey there! Welcome to our 100th episode – what a milestone! Can you believe it? And what better way to mark this occasion than by delving into a topic that encapsulates the essence of what we've been talking about all along – navigating the wild ride of parenthood while building a thriving business.

Now, let's first talk about something that's incredibly important: time. It's our most valuable asset, and yet, often our most limited resource. Building a business that respects and supports our time is absolutely crucial. Time is what allows us to be present with our families, to watch our children grow, and to cherish those precious moments. So, as we explore the journey of entrepreneurship amidst the chaos of everyday life, let's keep in mind the significance of building a business that aligns with our values and allows us the freedom to prioritize what truly matters – our time with loved ones.

Key Takeaways:

Flexibility is Key: Let's start with the cornerstone of this whole endeavor – flexibility. From scheduling client calls to managing meltdowns, being able to adapt on the fly is an absolute game-changer. Crafting a business that bends and flexes with the demands of parenthood empowers us to prioritize what truly matters – our family.

Importance of Support Systems: Next up, let's talk about the power of community. Whether it's rallying a team of rockstars in your business or finding solace in a tribe of fellow parent-entrepreneurs, having a support system is like having a safety net when life throws curveballs. It's all about leaning on each other and lifting each other up.

Involving Family in Business: Now, this one's close to my heart. Involving my own family – including my son – in business discussions has been not only enlightening but downright heartwarming. It's opened up doors for meaningful conversations about making a difference in the world and showing our kids what's possible when passion meets purpose.

Letting Go of Perfection: Ah, the elusive pursuit of perfection. Spoiler alert: it doesn't exist – especially not in the chaotic dance of parenting and entrepreneurship. Embracing imperfection, rolling with the punches, and practicing self-compassion are the true keys to sanity in this beautiful mess we call life.

Prioritizing Self-Care: Last but certainly not least, let's talk about self-care. Because let's face it, we can't pour from an empty cup. Setting boundaries, managing our time wisely, and showing ourselves some much-needed love and compassion are non-negotiables on this wild ride.

As we wrap up this milestone episode, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for joining me on this journey. Your support, your feedback, and your shared experiences mean the world to me. Here's to the next 100 episodes of growth, laughter, and maybe a few more potty training mishaps along the way. Cheers to building businesses that honor our values and support the lives we want to live – one diaper change at a time!
