Amanda logs into her Jane account mid-episode to answer the worry she keeps hearing from therapists: are intensives still booking in this economy? Her own calendar says yes. She had three intensive consultations in four weeks, and all three booked. One client found her through Google, thanks to blog posts her VA publishes. Another came from a Psychology Today profile she hasn't touched in ages, and the third was a referral from someone who follows her coaching Instagram. Amanda explains why she's keeping that $29 a month listing and how the online spaces you spend time in can pull you into panic mode. She closes with a reminder to pick one goal, focus there, and believe you can book your first intensive before the year ends.

Amanda answers the question she keeps hearing from therapists this fall: should you wait until your practice is full before you scale? She disagrees with the "wait until you're 80% full" rule, since full looks different for every therapist. She shares the story of a client who was turning away out-of-state inquiries until she added coaching. Amanda's first check is whether your practice meets your basic financial needs. From there she gets real about how much tech and work diversifying took her, and why marketing two businesses at 100% leaves you unable to tell which problem to fix. She closes with ways to scale inside your therapy practice first, like intensives or groups, and the control you have to let go of to avoid burnout.

Amanda is heading into her yearly reflection season. This time she starts with a decision: after the November cohort, she's pausing the HHW Mastermind so she isn't launching it every three months. That leads into the story of the first coaching program she joined, which worked on paper but left her running a business she didn't like until she burned it down and started over. She explains why blueprint programs leave so many therapists feeling burned and why she chooses long-term coaching relationships. Her closing advice for anyone choosing their next program: look past the deliverables, and ask whether you want to work with this person and whether you'll show up for the support.

Amanda's first brand partner reached out when she had fewer than 750 Instagram followers. She walks through how brand partnerships grew into one of the strongest income streams in her business, with $53,000 secured so far in 2026. She explains how she set her first rates using her therapy hourly rate and why she prefers long-term partners over one-off reels. She also shares the six-month deal that fell apart in a finance department after everything felt certain, plus why lifestyle content is hard for her as a private person. Her closing advice: start by showing up as yourself wherever you already market, and keep an eye out for real opportunities.

Most therapists set an income goal for the year without deciding where that money will come from. Amanda walks through how she plans a full year ahead, starting with the spreadsheet where she tracks money she's already secured from payment plans and sponsorships. She explains how breaking her income down by offer helps her decide what to scale and what to pull back on, and why she books a full VIP planning day with her coach every December in New York. She also explains the difference between a grow year and a sustaining year, comparing similar revenue in 2025 and 2026 with very different take-home pay. Her closing advice: start your 2027 planning now, and invest in support that teaches you skills you can keep using.

Amanda talks with Katie, a Washington State therapist who mentors other therapists, about the emotions underneath fee increases and consult calls. Katie shares starting out at $60 to $80 a session and the reframe that changed how she sees earning money from this work. Amanda adds how she brings the same block to her therapist and her business coach, and why each conversation goes differently. Together they look at where coaching ends and therapy begins, and how to choose community that supports a decision instead of picking it apart. Katie also offers a CEO check-in day as a way to slow down. Amanda closes by reminding therapists that the emotion deserves as much attention as the strategy.

Amanda shares what the last few months actually looked like behind the scenes: pausing the second cohort of her mastermind, spending close to $9,000 on ads to scale her Therapy Intensives Academy, and then deciding to bring the mastermind back. She gets into how she knew something wasn't working, what she uses as data beyond just the numbers, and why the business model that made sense six months ago stopped making sense when her personal life changed.

Sandra Killebrew is a couples therapist in Tacoma who specializes in high conflict couples, runs therapy intensives, and has been thinking about financial independence and early retirement since before she even finished grad school. In this conversation, she and Amanda get into what it actually looks like to build something worth having, including a year of posting on Instagram with almost no results before one reel changed everything, the healthy fear that goes into locking yourself in a room with a high conflict couple for hours, and why wanting to quit is not the same thing as actually quitting. This one is honest, a little unfiltered, and a good reminder that the behind the scenes of any success story is almost always longer and messier than it looks from the outside.

A question that keeps coming up in Amanda's mastermind is whether it's easier to sell to other therapists than to sell directly to consumers. The short answer is no, and this episode is about why. She gets into why it only looks easier from the outside, what the algorithm is actually showing you when you scroll through Instagram, and what really determines whether any offer succeeds regardless of who you're selling to. She also makes the case that the differentiating factor in any market, B2B or B2C, is never the product itself. It's you, and whether you actually know your ideal client's pain points well enough to make them feel seen.

Proof of concept is one of those phrases that gets thrown around a lot in business spaces without a lot of clarity on what it actually means or when you actually have it. Amanda gets into why most people misread their own data, what it actually means when a launch goes quiet, and why changing your price or restructuring your offer means you're running a completely new experiment, not a continuation of the last one. If you've ever had something work, then changed one thing and watched it stop working, and concluded the whole idea was dead, this episode is going to push back on that.

The advice to "charge your worth" is everywhere in therapist spaces, and Amanda has some real problems with it. Not because the intent is wrong, but because for most therapists with complex trauma and a complicated relationship with self-worth, it's not actually useful guidance. She makes the case for a different frame: charging what you need, and not just for right now. That means thinking beyond your current bills and debts and actually accounting for future you, including retirement, which most therapists are either ignoring or treating as a nice-to-have. She also gets personal about her own numbers, what her accountant told her about her projected 2026 tax liability, and why she finally started maxing out her retirement contributions this year.

Amanda gets into what time off actually looks like when you run two businesses, and why it looks nothing like the social media version of passive income and unplugging for weeks at a time. She breaks down how premium fees and a smaller caseload changed what taking time off even felt like, why she still chooses to take some calls while traveling, and how she thinks through which commitments to keep and which ones to move when she's out. If you've been telling yourself you can't take time off because you can't afford to stop seeing clients, this episode is worth a listen.

At some point, if you add therapy intensives and they actually start working, you hit a decision point nobody prepares you for. Your intensive calendar is filling up, your weekly caseload is still full of people you genuinely care about, and a new consult request just landed in your inbox. What do you do? Amanda gets into the three separate decisions most therapists are trying to answer all at once, why a weekly wait list is not always the compassionate move it feels like, and how to know whether a hybrid practice is your actual destination or just a holding pattern you never examined. The through line in all of it: stop letting a full calendar make the decision for you.

Amanda makes the case that comparing your intensive rate to what everyone else charges is the easy question dressed up as the hard one. The real question, the one most therapists skip right past, is what are you actually trying to buy back with that money? Time, peace, the ability to say no without panic, evenings that belong to you instead of your notes? That answer looks different for every therapist, and none of it gets solved by copying someone else's rate. She gets concrete about how to actually figure out your number, why therapy intensives change the math in a way that weekly sessions alone can't, and why the structure of your practice has to serve your actual life rather than the other way around.

Amanda makes an argument that might be uncomfortable to sit with: the thing most therapists think is holding them back from premium fees, whether that's a missing certification, not enough years of experience, or a niche that isn't narrow enough, is almost never actually the thing. She walks through what really happens when clients book a therapy intensive, how the modality is usually the hook but the relationship is what keeps them, and why that distinction matters a lot for how you market your practice.
