This episode is a good one, y'all.
Beth Rontal went from burnt-out costume designer to therapist to creating Documentation Wizard - a business that teaches therapists how to actually use their documentation as a clinical tool instead of dreading it. And honestly? The parallels between costume design and therapy work are kind of brilliant.
We talk about the reality of getting licensed while raising kids, why falling behind on your notes is actually telling you something important about your practice, and how Beth went from supervising 50+ clinicians at an agency to building something sustainable on her own terms.
Here's what I love about this conversation: Beth gets real about the fact that nothing is actually a "side gig" when you're passionate about it. We talk about the myth of balance (spoiler: it doesn't exist the way we think it does), why your body might be screaming at you to stop overworking, and how enforcement of your cancellation policy is actually about modeling healthy boundaries - not being a jerk.
If you're trying to figure out how to fill your practice through actual relationships instead of SEO panic, or you're drowning in documentation and wondering why it feels so hard, or you're just tired of the hamster wheel and want to see what building something sustainable actually looks like - this one's for you.
Beth's offering free resources on getting your notes done (link in show notes), and if you've ever dealt with an insurance clawback and felt completely lost, she does consultations for that too.
Real talk about private practice, documentation, and what it actually takes to build something that doesn't destroy you in the process.
