Ideal Practice
How do I find clients I actually enjoy? How do I make more money without feeling guilty? Can I run a private practice and still have a life? These are just some of the questions long time psychotherapist, group practice founder, and serial entrepreneur Wendy Pitts Reeves tackles each week on The Ideal Practice Podcast.Here, you’ll learn how to create your version of an Ideal Practice that serves you as well as you serve your clients. Learn how to think like a marketer, attract clients you love, get paid well for what you do, and have a life. We’ll talk about the power of intention, the energy of money, and how to banish imposter syndrome for good. In short, we’ll dive deep into what it takes to develop a healthy business that is profitable, impactful, and - can we say this? - enjoyable.When healers stand in their power, make peace with profit, and honor the difference they make in the lives of others, they can change an entire industry.With a mix of interviews, special guests and solo shows from Wendy, you won’t want to miss a minute of this. New episodes every Tuesday. So hit subscribe, and get ready to change your life.
