Taking The Leap Through Impostor Syndrome [featuring Christal Pennic]","description":"\"Why would anyone hire me? How is it even possible to leave community mental health and start a private practice?\" \nHave you had similar thoughts and let them prevent you from starting your own business? \nYou're definitely not alone. \nLeaving security, consistency, and stepping into the unknown can be really scary when starting a private practice.\nIn this episode, Christal Pennic (the host of the #GetNeckID Podcast and my good friend) and I talk about how she's prevented herself from taking the leap for far too long\u2014all because of IMPOSTOR SYNDROME! Christal shares her journey from community mental health into her private practice.\nWe talk about impostor syndrome, techniques to manage it, and how to pursue your goals and dreams even when it feels scary and impossible, as well as Christal's experiences with being a\u00a0BIPOC therapist and how that impacted her impostor syndrome and decision to take the leap into private practice.\nMore about Christal Pennic, LPC, MHSP:\nChristal Pennic (or \u201cLPC Chris\u201d in the podcast world) is a licensed professional counselor in Nashville, TN. Currently, she counsels youth victims of crime for the city of Nashville. LPC Chris has a passion for youth and adults that are on the journey of grief and loss. She has worked in the helping profession since 2005 and is the owner of two podcasts. One of her podcasts is #GetNeckIDTherapist, which is primarily geared for mental health professionals, fans, advocates, and coaches. It is the 100% neckid truth of the good, bad, and ugly of the field we helping professionals love so much. It might have a funny name, but the meaning becomes clear after you tune in for an episode. Her other podcast, \"Surviving Sibling Loss - The Forgotten Mourners Podcast\" is a special listening space for siblings who are grieving the death of their sibling(s). Both podcasts, and the interactions received since launching them, have fueled her desire in becoming a private practice practitioner. Stay tuned.\nSide note from Christal: \"I am a loud laugher\u2026 and I test as an extrovert on western personality tests, but on eastern personality tests, I am an introvert. I agree with both :-)\"\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here:\u00a0www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fSpotify:\u00a0atppod.com/spotify\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fApple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fGoogle Podcasts: atppod.com/google\n\ud83d\udde8\ufe0f Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community:\u00a0\u00a0www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding\n----------------------------\nMentioned in this episode:\nA Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!\nI would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.\nVisit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e47d7bf2-1bc9-4e26-89e3-26e18d911c76/60854458c4d1acdf4e1c2f79c4137142d85d78e379bdafbd69bd34c85f5819ad.jpg"}
