EP 210: How to Add $5K a Month with Additional Revenue Streams

What would it actually take to add an extra $5,000 a month to your therapy practice without burning out or stacking more one-to-one sessions? In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of my favorite topics: additional revenue streams and how therapists can strategically scale beyond the traditional one-to-one model. I walk you through why relying on a single income stream is risky, how unexpected life events can impact your business, and why building flexibility into your revenue can transform not just your income, but your health, energy, and quality of life.

I break down the two most common paths therapists take: building a profitable group practice and stepping into the creator economy with offers like courses, coaching, memberships, speaking, or retreats. We talk real numbers, realistic expectations, and what it actually looks like to design offers that work in today's fast-changing market. I also share how I think about pricing, program structure, audience growth, and why 2026 is shaping up to be a powerful year for connection-based business models. If you've been thinking about scaling but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you zoom out, think bigger, and create a strategy that fits your lifestyle and long-term vision.
