In this inspiring "Student Spotlight" episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Vicky Stewart, PhD, a brilliant physiotherapist who specializes in helping people with persistent dizziness. Vicky is not only a star student of my program, but also now a valued mentor in our community. Her journey of creating and launching her online program, The Shift, is a testament to the power of determination, imperfect action, and staying true to your vision.

In our conversation, Vicky shares:

• How her personal experiences and challenges led her to develop an integrative approach to treating persistent dizziness
• The incredible transformations her beta program participants experienced, and how that fueled her passion to help even more people
• How she navigated the challenges of launching her program, from mindset hurdles to technical obstacles, and still achieved outstanding results
• The power of community and having a "pace car" to keep you motivated and moving forward
• How creating an online program has allowed her to impact more lives, while also giving her the freedom to be present for her family
• Her vision for the future of The Shift, including expanding her reach, developing a membership model, and empowering other practitioners with her methodology

Vicky's story is a shining example of what's possible when you combine your unique expertise with the power of online programs. Her willingness to take imperfect action, learn from her "failures," and keep moving forward is an inspiration to anyone who dreams of creating a thriving online business that transforms lives.

If you've ever doubted your ability to create a successful online program, this episode will give you the motivation and practical insights you need to take the leap. Discover how you can turn your knowledge and passion into a scalable, impactful online program, and create the freedom and fulfillment you deserve.

In this powerful mini episode, I dive deep into the crucial role of mindset in creating successful online programs as a therapist. Drawing from my years of experience working with therapists in this space, I reveal the #1 mindset shift that separates those who thrive from those who struggle. If you're ready to take your online program to the next level, this episode is a must-listen!

Key Takeaways:

1. I've found that the key differentiator in online program success is mindset, not tactics or audience size.
2. I've seen many therapists get stuck in a "passenger mindset," waiting for a program to work for them rather than taking active ownership of their success.
3. The antidote is what I call an "active inevitability" mindset, where you fully believe that if another therapist can succeed with online programs, so can you.
4. With an active inevitability mindset, you see challenges as opportunities to grow and prove your resilience, rather than signs you're not cut out for this.
5. I've witnessed how deciding that failure is not an option unlocks a new level of commitment and resourcefulness.
6. I encourage you to focus on proving to yourself that you have what it takes, rather than getting caught up in proving a program right or wrong.
7. I advise approaching any gaps in your knowledge or the program as opportunities to build your skills and become an even more capable online program creator.
8. In my experience, being willing to follow proven models exactly in the beginning helps you gain a solid foundation of skills and confidence.
9. I've found that surrounding yourself with examples of therapists succeeding with online programs makes that success feel achievable for you too.
10. I firmly believe you can start embracing an active inevitability mindset right now, in this very moment - you don't need to wait for the perfect circumstances.

In my work with therapists, I've seen that shifting from a passenger mindset to an inevitability mindset is a game-changer for those looking to create thriving online programs. By taking ownership of your success, seeing challenges as opportunities, and committing to your inevitable success, you become unstoppable. The strategies I share in this episode - from following proven models to surrounding yourself with inspiring examples - can help you cultivate this transformative mindset starting today. Imagine the impact you could have and the freedom you could create with a wildly successful online program. That future is waiting for you, and it all starts with choosing an active inevitability mindset. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Hey there, it's Dr. Hayley Kelly here, and I'm excited to share with you some powerful insights from my recent trip to the United States. In this episode of the Therapist Rising Podcast, I dive into the transformative lessons I learned while attending workshops and masterminds with some of the most brilliant minds in the business world.

One of the key takeaways from this experience was the importance of surrounding yourself with "expanders" - people who challenge your current way of thinking, push you outside your comfort zone, and inspire you to dream bigger. By immersing myself in the company of successful entrepreneurs, I was forced to confront my own limiting beliefs and elevate my perception of what's possible for my business and personal growth.

Another crucial insight I gained was the value of expanding your network beyond your immediate niche. Engaging with diverse perspectives from various industries can fuel creativity, innovation, and lead to game-changing ideas. I also learned that imposter syndrome is a common struggle among entrepreneurs, regardless of their level of success, and that it's essential to embrace the discomfort as a sign of growth.

Throughout the episode, I share how challenging your beliefs and assumptions can help you reach new heights, and how focusing on mastering the fundamentals and tackling the most significant constraints in your business can lead to sustainable success.

So, if you're a therapist looking to grow your practice, diversify your income, or scale an online program, this episode is packed with actionable tips and insights to help you on your journey. Remember, success is not a straight line, but by staying committed to your vision, surrounding yourself with the right people, and focusing on the essentials, you can achieve the impact and success you desire.
