Ep. 58 Financial Planning for Self-Employed Therapists (with special guest Ryan Derousseau)

Your Money, Your Rules | Money Mindset, Budget, Personal Finance, Human Design, Female Entrepreneur

Are you a self-employed therapist that is financially successful in your business and don't feel like you have a clear roadmap to building your wealth? Join me as I invited Ryan Derousseau, a CFP® who supports self-employed therapists, on the podcast to discuss how to overcome the common fears that many of us feel of being "behind" in our financial journey. We'll explore how societal gaps in financial education contribute to these worries and learn strategies to recognize and build on your achievements, integrating emotional well-being into financial success.
In this episode we discuss:

• The emotional baggage we sometimes feel when it comes to money
• Exploitation of the financial industry
• Understanding the benefits of a fee-only advisor
• Strategies for balancing work and business
• Scaling your therapy practice
• Reframing financial freedom
