You might notice the name of the podcast is different. But don’t worry, the heart of this show is the same. I’m still talking about what it takes to build a private practice that gives you more time, freedom, and flexibility, especially if you’re balancing it all as a mom, partner, clinician, or, frankly, a human who wants a life outside of work.

And today, we’re getting into one of the most common questions I hear: “How do you turn a consult call into a full, thriving caseload?”

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what to do from first contact through that first session, including:

• The subtle mindset shifts that make consult calls feel less like interviews and more like real conversations (00:02:35)
• 
  
• How to structure a call that builds connection without overexplaining or overselling (00:08:52)
• 
  
• Tips for designing a smooth, client-friendly onboarding experience (00:04:15)
• 
  
• How to naturally move from the first session to an ongoing relationship (00:12:04)
• 
  
• And what to remind yourself when imposter syndrome starts whispering that you’re not “ready”

If you’ve ever finished a consult thinking, “That went great… so why didn’t they book?”, this episode will give you the tools and language to change that.

This week, I’m joined by my friend and fellow clinician, Kendyl Brunet, who is in the early stages of building her private practice focused on parents, perinatal mental health, and infant mental health.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• Practical, low-cost marketing moves that make a difference
• Networking strategies that feel natural and lead to referrals
• Creative ways to leverage your existing connections and community ties
• How to handle 15-minute intro calls so they convert without feeling salesy
• The emotional ups and downs of launching a practice
