    Episode #734: What Content To Create For Your Private Practice
    Feb 21 2026
    In today's Ask Abundance, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about how to show up online in a way that actually feels like you — without oversharing, following trends you hate, or losing yourself in the process. Together, we unpack why so many therapists freeze when it comes to creating content, what ethical self-disclosure really looks like in a marketing context, and how to build a consistent online presence without turning into someone you don't recognize. We also walk through the concept of content buckets, how to share from a scar instead of a wound, and why social media isn't actually required for a full, thriving practice. If you've been putting off showing up online because it feels cringey or too personal, this conversation will help you find an approach that's grounded, authentic, and actually sustainable. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.

    Episode #732: How To Market When The World Is On Fire
    Feb 14 2026
    In today's Ask Abundance, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about whether it's ethical to market your therapy practice when the world feels like it's constantly on fire. Together, we unpack why this tension is so common, what marketing actually means in moments of collective crisis, and how to show up for potential clients without feeling tone-deaf or exploitative. We also walk through different ways to think about visibility, how to stay aligned with your values, and why letting people know you're available is an essential act of service. If you're holding back on marketing because it feels selfish or wrong, this conversation will help you move forward without guilt or second-guessing. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.

    In today's Ask Abundance episode of the podcast, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about how to raise your fees without damaging the referral relationships that helped you build your practice.

    Episode #728: Why Can't I Get Clients
    Jan 31 2026
    In today's Ask Allison, we're talking about what it really means when the phone isn't ringing in private practice. We'll break down why this phase feels so scary and personal, why it's not a sign you're failing, and the three things that actually determine whether therapists get clients or stay stuck. I'll walk you through niching, marketing strategy overload, and the consistency mistakes that quietly keep good therapists invisible. If you're doing "all the things" and still not getting clients, this will show you exactly what's missing and how to fix it. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Allison and Abundance Community member Katy dive into a thoughtful conversation about growing a creative workshop business alongside a therapy practice.
