Many therapists feel a pull to create income outside of the one-to-one therapy model, but feel conflicted about influencer culture, constant posting, or anything that feels misaligned with their professional values.

In this episode, I explore how therapists can diversify their income by teaching, without becoming influencers or leaving the field. I break down why teaching is a natural extension of clinical work, how continuing education fits ethically within scope, and why so many therapists already have teachable expertise without realizing it.

I discuss practical, realistic options for therapists, including continuing education, consultation, digital educational products, and podcast-based learning, and reframe income diversification as an issue of sustainability, not commitment. This episode is especially relevant for seasoned clinicians who want longevity in the profession without hype or hustle culture.

At some point in your career as a therapist, the work begins to shift. You may feel a quiet pull to share what you've learned beyond the therapy room but feel unsure what that means or whether you're "qualified" to teach.

In this episode, I explore the transition from clinician to educator and why this identity shift can feel both exciting and uncomfortable. I talk about common myths therapists hold about teaching, ethical considerations, visibility, and how stepping into an educator role doesn't require a new certification or a major career change.

If you're a mid-career or seasoned clinician curious about teaching, mentoring, or continuing education, this episode is an invitation to notice the pull and explore it with clarity and confidence.
