Is money stress burning you out? You’re not alone.


In this episode of Practice Pursuit for Therapists, Rachel and Adrienne dive into one of the most common (and anxiety-inducing) contributors to burnout: financial pressure in private practice.

From worrying about taking an unexpected sick day to the stress of an empty calendar, many therapists carry the weight of income instability. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode, we explore:

💸 The Money Mindset Trap – How financial fear shows up for private practice owners
🌱 Creative Income Streams – Ideas for passive income and side revenue that support your goals
🔄 Diversifying for Stability – Why relying on one income source can hold you back
📖 Real-Life Stories – Rachel and Adrienne share personal experiences and how they’ve learned to shift their mindset and income strategies
