Sallyv88 ,

Great podcast!

So I’m not a therapist but I stumbled across this podcast and I’m so glad I did! I’m a personal trainer but much of the marketing/instagram/business concepts apply to my industry as well and I’m finding it super helpful.

Experience Motherhood ,

Love this podcast! So relatable and helpful!

Such a great listen! I really resonate with so many of these episodes, recently really needed to hear what Danielle said in episode 114. This is a great podcast for any woman who wants to build a successful therapy practice!

Dee A. Paisley ,
