Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind in private practice? Like everyone else has it all figured out while you’re still trying to keep your head above water? In today’s episode, I unpack what that feeling really is and why it’s not a sign that you’re failing. In fact, it might be a powerful nudge from your nervous system that it’s time to pause, get curious, and recalibrate.

This episode is for therapists, counsellors, social workers, psychologists and play therapists who feel like the only ones not “on top of it.” If you’ve been comparing yourself to others or feeling like you’re always playing catch-up, this is the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

You’ll walk away with a mindset shift to relieve that pressure, a compassionate lens on your current season, and a reminder that business growth doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from honouring your own rhythm and making micro-adjustments that support your nervous system, not burn it out.
