Episode 503 | The Subtle Mindset Shift That Helps Me Love My Business Again

If you’re a therapist in private practice and lately you’ve been feeling disconnected, uninspired, or just tired of the day-to-day, this episode is for you.
I created this episode because I had one of those days. The kind where everything feels harder than it should: emails feel heavy, marketing feels pointless, and even your client work feels like it’s pulling more from you than it’s giving back.

And when you’re in private practice, there’s often no buffer because you are the business.

In this conversation, I’m sharing a moment from my own week where I caught myself in that flat, resentful place. Instead of pushing through or slapping a gratitude band-aid on it, I tried something different. A mindset shift that was subtle, but powerful. One that helped me reconnect with my work without guilt, pressure, or performance.
This shift helped me feel more in control, more calm, and yes, more in love with my business again. I want that for you, too.
This episode is for you if:

• You’re a counsellor, psychologist, social worker, or play therapist in private practice

• You’ve been feeling emotionally flat or resistant toward your business

• You want to feel motivated again without forcing gratitude or hustle

• You need a more sustainable, honest mindset tool that actually helps

• You’re craving more alignment between your energy and your business demands

What I share in this episode:

• A behind-the-scenes story of how I moved through emotional resistance

• The problem with some of the mindset advice therapists are given

• A one-sentence reframe that brought clarity and calm to my day

• How to stay in your power—without bypassing what you’re actually feeling

• A mindset tool you can use any time you're feeling stuck or drained

What you’ll walk away with:
A practical, no-fluff mindset shift that helps you reclaim your energy, realign with your purpose, and keep showing up for your private practice in a way that feels good, even on the hard days.

Quick Win Action Step:

Think about a part of your business that feels draining right now—maybe it’s client admin, marketing, or your calendar.

Ask yourself:
“What’s a different way I could think about this, that would feel more honest and supportive?”

This small shift can help you reconnect with your values, and fall back in love with your business (or at least like it again).
