Abundant Practice Podcast

Feeling stuck with long-term goals? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I talk about how to stop spinning out over "growth" and start getting clear. You don't need a five-year plan. You need to know what kind of growth you're after—more income, more time, a new revenue stream? Each one has a different path. Start with your "why," then break your goal into micro-steps and actually schedule them. What doesn't get scheduled doesn't happen. And remember: ambitious is great, but realistic wins every time.

Feel like you're always explaining your non-traditional therapy? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I talk about why you don't need to justify your approach to everyone—and how to connect with the clients it's actually for. Instead of leading with your method, speak to their experience. Talk about the stuckness, the frustration, the sense that talk therapy didn't go deep enough. That's what makes people feel seen—and curious. You don't need to explain everything. You just need to show them you get it.

Feel frozen by fear when it comes to your business? You're not alone. In today's Ask Allison, I'm talking about how fear shows up in private practice—whether it's cold emailing, pricing your services, or putting yourself out there—and how to stop letting it call the shots. I'll share how I've learned to treat fear as a sign of growth, not a stop sign. If fear has been holding you back, this one's for you.
