• Booked But Broke? Why More Clients ≠ More Income

  In this episode, we're unpacking a common and frustrating experience for private practice therapists: your schedule is full, but your income still feels unpredictable—or even too low. Sound familiar? You're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong. You may have simply outgrown your current structure. Liane breaks down why more clients doesn't always mean more income, where hidden revenue leaks might be hiding in your practice, and what it actually takes to create more predictable, sustainable income—without adding more sessions or sacrificing your sanity. What You'll Learn: Why being fully booked doesn't guarantee consistent income How undercharging, cancellations, and sliding scale spots affect your bottom line The mindset shift therapists need to stop trading time for burnout Five actionable ways to restructure your practice for sustainability What to track and adjust before raising your rates Links + Resources: → Learn more about Accelerate Your Practice → Learn more about Scale Your Practice → Visit the Build Your Private Practice Homepage

• The Policy Shift That Could Unlock Labour Mobility for Therapists in Canada

  What if one policy shift could remove unnecessary barriers, improve client access, and support therapists across the country? In this episode of The Build Your Private Practice Podcast, we explore the One Canadian Economy Act, a federal proposal aimed at improving labour mobility for therapists and other licensed professionals. You will hear how Canada's fragmented regulation system limits access to care, and why aligning with national momentum could be a turning point for both therapists and the clients who rely on them. If you have felt boxed in by provincial licensing rules or frustrated by professional politics standing in the way of client care, this conversation is essential listening.
