  • #122. 5 Steps to Get Back On Track When Life Throws You Lemons
    Sep 17 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    Today’s episode is a little different, my friends. I want to share some things with you that I don’t normally talk about here on the Podcast.

    I want us to talk about what to do when life throws you lemons, what to do when all those carefully laid plans we make don’t work.

    It happens to all of us. (Seriously - it has been a year around here…)

    So I want to share with you some of what I’ve been dealing with - AND give you a framework for how to cope when things get tough.

    Because, you know, #lifehappens. 😜

    Let’s talk through a five-step full body and business reset that I use to get myself back on track, a reset process that you can use too..

    (Make sure you stick around until the end too. I’ve got a free resource that will really help you to get to clarity with all of this).

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • The 5 steps I recommend for getting your business, your body, and your brain back on track when life (inevitably!) happens.
    • The ritual that you can use to get back on track, and stay there.
    • A simple way to clear blocked energy so you can move forward with purpose.
    • The key difference between reviewing and reflecting. (That’s important!)

    It’s been a challenging year here - not gonna lie - but I’m not here to complain, or to focus on the negative. I just think the Universe is telling me that there’s a season for everything. And for now, it's a season for simplifying the way I approach things.

    Well, I’m here for it - and I’ll be back in my growing season soon, you can be sure of that. 🤩

    Is it possible that the Universe has been trying to tell you something too?

    Give this one a listen. Now, when YOU need a full body and business reset - you’ll know just what to do.

    To your sanity, and success. 💞

  • #121. Are Your Thoughts Holding You Back? Let's Change That Right Now.
    Sep 10 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    Today on the podcast, I want to talk about THE thing that holds most of us back.

    Our thoughts.

    It’s such an important topic y’all, because here’s the thing …

    Your sense of satisfaction, your sense of well-being, your joy, and literally your success all come down to the way you think.

    Period.

    As entrepreneurs and private practice owners, we are naturally problem solvers. 🤔 That’s what we do. It’s how we’re wired, right? And that’s awesome, but it also means that our eyes are always on the future …

    …on what’s still out there. On the goals we haven’t reached yet, the accomplishments that we haven’t quite ticked off the list yet.

    And while it’s great to have big dreams, if we’re not careful, we can get caught up in a spiral of defeat and negative thoughts.

    Uh, oh …. 😬

    That state of negativity will never serve you guys, so it’s critical to watch what you think. Because at the end of the day, it’s all a mind game.

    You get what you expect.

    And here’s the cool thing about that.

    You have the power to change what you expect.

    And today on the podcast, we’re going to talk about how to use that power. 🤩

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why you’re probably not even aware of the thoughts that are holding you back (and how to change that).
    • The one thing you must do BEFORE you can change your thoughts.
    • Some super simple exercises that you can follow to shift your mindset, right now.
    • Why money literally is everywhere (once you know how to find it 😉).

    I know this might sound simplistic, but you really CAN change your life and your business, once you know how to change your thoughts.

    I myself re-discover this point over and over again.

    So, give this one a listen.

    Change your mind. Change your life.

    ~Wendy

  • #120. How Will AI (& Other Tech) Change Therapy? A Fascinating Conversation With Amity Cooper
    Sep 3 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    Doesn’t it feel like AI is everywhere all of a sudden?

    I can be a bit of a nerd sometimes. (You know I geek out over productivity tools.🤓) And I think it could help to learn more about this - but where do you even start?

    Well, today’s guest can help. She challenges us to lean in and embrace AI and other tech - and I was struck by what she had to say.

    Meet Amity Cooper, a seasoned entrepreneur, mental health professional, and entrepreneurial coach who helps therapists learn how to embrace new, emerging technologies so they can better help the people they serve.

    In this episode, you’ll hear how AI is being used to further the field of therapy (not to take your job…) and why Amity wants therapists everywhere to jump on the bandwagon with her.

    You’ll also hear:

    • Four types of technology that could have a positive impact on your practice right now.
    • How AI can help create a frictionless experience for clients who want to work with you.
    • The one type of tech that 83% of your potential clients want you to use. 😲
    • How technology can help you to create a ‘full service’ practice.

    AI has the potential to change the game in terms of therapeutic training, new treatment methods, and new ways to run our practices.

    As Amity said: We have the power to tech up and care wide, to reach people and serve people like never before.

    Tech up and care wide … I love that. And it sounds like a terrific opportunity to me.

    Give this one a listen, and be sure to stick around to the end, where Amity shares a simple way to get started on your own journey with AI.

    ~Wendy

    P.S. “Okay - so THAT was interesting…If that’s what you're saying as you listen, would you please give us a 5 star review and a few words over on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?
