The Testing Psychologist Podcast 547. The Best Episodes of 2025

As this year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on how much of 2025 was about refinement rather than expansion. The Testing Psychologist stayed true to what it’s always been for me: a place for honest conversations about assessment, business, and the realities of this work. The podcast hit some meaningful milestones (500 episodes!), Crafted Practice was once again one of the highlights of my year and proved that small, close-knit spaces beat big, noisy ones any day, and the community around this work continued to grow in a way that felt grounded and sustainable.
A lot of my energy this year also went into Reverb, which stretched me in ways I didn’t fully anticipate. Building something new alongside established businesses forces you to slow down and get very clear about what actually matters. There were plenty of decisions that didn’t make for exciting updates, but did make the product better. What feels solid now is the “why”: helping clinicians spend less time wrestling with reports and more time doing the parts of the job that actually require a human brain. That focus has guided every hard call along the way.
Personally, 2025 pushed me to pay closer attention to my own limits. Heart surgery on January 3rd, 2025 forced me to slow down and be very intentional about my capabilities. I worked fewer hours, protected more unstructured time, and noticed how much better everything runs when I’m not operating at a constant low-grade sprint. I’m ending the year clearer, steadier, and more confident about what I want to carry forward (and what I don’t).
Before transitioning to the episode, I want to give shout outs to a few folks who are integral to the Testing Psychologist team. First, Facebook group moderators: Chris Mulchay, Laura Sanders, and Andres Chou. They keep the group on the rails so that we can continue to have a stable, safe place to talk about testing. I also have to thank my assistant, Laura, who does everything from podcast editing to researching spots for the next in-person retreat. I couldn’t do this without her. Speaking of which, I have to thank my sponsors as well. TherapyNotes and PAR continued to support the podcast this year, making all of this possible. While we’re saying goodbye to PAR for 2026, I’m excited to get some fresh sponsorship on the books.
And of course, I have to thank all of you. If you’ve listened to the podcast, come to an event, sent a note, or just quietly followed along, thank you. I don’t take that support lightly, and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
