Mar 2800:12:29Summary readyIn today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the exhausting math of a practice that requires you to keep showing up at full speed just to stay afloat.

We get into why that fear is actually a sign something needs to change, and how to work less without blowing up everything you've built. If you've been telling yourself you'll slow down eventually, this episode is going to light a fire. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Episode #740: How To Stop Grinding In Private Practice
Mar 1400:11:12Summary readyIn today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're getting into something a lot of therapists feel but won't admit: the practice you built to give you freedom might be the thing trapping you.

Episode #739: Working with Chronic Pain, feat. Sean Hershey
Mar 1100:31:29Summary readySean Hershey, LCSW, joins me today to share how chronic pain is often shaped by emotional repression, psychological patterns, and disconnection from one's authentic self. He discusses why focusing only on physical symptoms can miss the deeper drivers of pain, and how therapists can play a key role in helping clients find real, lasting relief. Sean also provides insights from his own healing journey and offers practical ways to integrate this approach into your clinical work. PS: Sean is our Abundance Party trainer this month.
