| 5/29/26 | How to Stop Relying on One Income Stream in Private Practice with Karin Hartunian Koukeyan | What if the leap you've been waiting to take is already happening, whether you're ready or not? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Karin Hartunian Koukeyan, SLP and founder of SpeechFit. Karin spent over 28 years building her clinical career before launching her own practice, and it wasn't a clean, confident jump. It was a layoff that forced her hand, a summer with $0 coming in, and a slow, deliberate build across multiple revenue streams that's still growing today. We talked about the gu... | 30m 43s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | The Mindset Shift Every People-Pleasing Clinician Needs with Megan Blacksmith | What if the thing you’re avoiding is the thing you need to do? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Megan Blacksmith, speaker, NLP and hypnosis trainer, and founder of Blacksmith Training Company. Megan trains coaches, practitioners and leaders with the tools for faster (inner) transformation without fighting themselves along the way through Holistic NLP, a combining of the principles of NLP and her 10 years as a holistic health coach. We talked about people-pleasing, boundaries, money,... | 52m 55s | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | You Don’t Have to Be Fluent to Show Up for Bilingual Kids with Keila Gutierrez | You don’t have to be fluent in a language to serve a bilingual child well. That’s the message Keila Gutierrez is on a mission to get into the hands of every SLP who has ever hesitated at the therapy room door. Keila is a bilingual SLP, private practice owner, and digital product creator who grew up 45 minutes from the Mexican border. She owns Desert Lily Bilingual Speech Therapy Clinic and recently co-created a physical card product with Bilingual Speechie to help clinicians apply the compl... | 15m 20s | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | Stop Measuring Your Progress Against Someone Else’s Highlight Reel | You can’t miss the boat because it’s your boat, so it will be ready and waiting for you when you arrive… on time according to your timeline. In this solo episode, I'm talking about something I've been sitting with a lot lately: time, the timelines we create, and how often they're working against us instead of for us. Not because having goals and deadlines is bad, but because the measuring stick most of us are using isn't actually ours. Here’s what I’m diving into Why setting a goal ... | 19m 23s | ||||||
| 5/15/26 | Building a Business That Fits Your Life with Loevy Afanador | You got into private practice because you wanted freedom. Then somewhere along the way, the freedom disappeared and the 60-hour weeks moved in. If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to hit close to home. I sat down with speech therapist and private practice owner Loevy Afanador to have an honest conversation about what it actually looks and feels like to pivot out of hustle mode and into a business that aligns with your real life. Loevy started her practice in 2023 with big dreams an... | 29m 05s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | What Happens When Your Self-Worth Is in the Driver's Seat with Theresa Harp | You keep thinking that if you could just get caught up, you'd finally feel okay. But what if catching up was never the real goal? In this episode, I sit down with Theresa Harp, SLP and certified productivity coach, for one of the most honest conversations I've had on this show. Theresa works with SLPs and related professionals who are burned out, overwhelmed, and convinced that a better system is the answer. What they discover is that the real work happens a lot closer to home. We go deep on ... | 43m 07s | ||||||
| 5/8/26 | The Real Cost of Hiring in Private Practice with Jamie Perez | If you’ve ever looked at your full caseload and thought, I should hire someone, this episode is going to give you a much more honest picture of what that actually means. Jamie Perez, speech therapist and owner of Thriving Joy Therapy, spent nearly a year trying to hire her first clinician, and what she learned in that process changed how she runs her entire business. Jamie specializes in infant feeding and medically complex cases and built a practice that quickly outgrew her capacity. In th... | 40m 29s | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | Why Your Private Practice Needs More Than One Way to Make Money | If all of your income depends on you showing up, you already know how fragile that feels. One sick day, one insurance change, one clinician leaving your team and the whole thing wobbles. This episode is about what it actually looks like to build income that doesn't require you to be in the room. This week I'm talking about passive income and leveraged income — what they really are, what they are not, and how to start figuring out where they fit in your practice. I was just speaking at the AAP... | 20m 02s | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | When Closing Up Shop Actually Opens New Doors with Christina Beta | This episode is part of Community Chats, a special segment of the ScaleSmart Podcast where I sit down with SLPs, OTs, and PTs from our community to share the stories you don't always hear. Because growth doesn't only come from the same few voices. It comes from learning from people who are actually in it with you. Christina Beta is a speech therapist with over 25 years of experience, primarily in school-based settings. She opened a private practice clinic in 2023, built something she was pr... | 19m 47s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | The Real Reason You're Overwhelmed (and What to Do About It) | If you have been saying "I am overwhelmed" on repeat lately, I want you to consider something. That word itself might be part of what is keeping you stuck. Overwhelm is a powerless word. When something is overwhelming you, it has taken over. And the more you say "I am overwhelmed," the more your brain gets to work proving it true. That is not a personal failure. That is biology. And once you understand what your brain is actually doing when you feel that way, the path out becomes a lot cleare... | 26m 51s | ||||||

| 4/21/26 | What 11 Years in Private Practice Actually Teaches You with Luba Patlakh | Some people build a business and figure it out as they go. Luba Patlakh - Kaplun, M.S. CCC-SLP, OMT is one of them. After 11 years, two locations in Philadelphia, a mobile therapy bus, a nonprofit preschool program, and a team of 20 administrative staff, Luba has a lot to say about what the figuring out actually looked like. And in this episode, she holds nothing back. This is not a conversation about systems and strategies. It is about what happens inside the person building the thing. The m... | 40m 05s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | The Hardest Part of Running a Business Nobody Talks About | The hardest part of running a business isn't really the marketing or the systems or the hiring. The hardest part is being the only person in charge of every single decision, upholding every boundary, taking every risk. And doing it all alone. In this episode, Hannah set out to talk about loneliness, but took the off-ramp into how to make decisions so you don't get stuck at indecision station, where to go for trusted support, and why you need to fill your own cup if you're going to sustain thi... | 29m 09s | ||||||
| 4/7/26 | If I Were Starting a Private Practice Tomorrow: 6 Things I’d Do Without a Doubt (Part 2) | This is Part 2 of a two-part series on starting and growing a private practice. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there before jumping in here. In this episode, I cover the two remaining things I'd do from day one if I were starting over: learning to think like a CEO and building a second income stream before you need one. These are the moves that separate a practice that just survives from one that actually grows. What's covered: What it actually means to run your ... | 20m 50s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | If I Were Starting a Private Practice Tomorrow: 6 Things I’d Do Without a Doubt (Part 1) | Whether you've been running a practice for years or are just getting started, building with intention rather than reaction is what separates a sustainable practice from one that's fast-tracked to burnout. Most of us start a business the way I did: with no plan, riding on a wing and a prayer, and figuring it out as we go. And you can certainly do that too, but at some point, running a business in reaction mode will stop working. If you're exhausted from piecemealing it together and ready to ... | 25m 21s | ||||||

I sat down with speech therapist, Rebecca Rowe, who has been running a very profitable multi-location, multi-disciplinary private practice in North Carolina for the last 10 years.

| 3/17/26 | Your Business Can Only Grow to the Level of Problems You Can Solve | A few weeks ago, I was in full reaction mode. Someone said something unkind about me online. Scammers were impersonating our business. I was sitting in traffic, angry, distracted, and ready to fight people I couldn't even see. Then a fox ran across the road in front of my car. And something shifted. That moment led me straight to one of the most important truths I've learned in 10 years of business. Your business can only grow to the level of problems you can handle. If a bad review sends you... | 22m 27s | ||||||

| 3/3/26 | From Burnout to Breakthrough: Using Animal Assisted Therapy in Speech Therapy with Sharlet Lee Jensen | What happens when traditional speech therapy approaches stop working and you start paying attention to what actually helps clients feel safe, calm, and willing to engage? For speech-language pathologist Sharlet Lee Jensen, that question led her down an unexpected path into animal assisted therapy and completely changed the way she experienced her work. After years of feeling the weight of burnout, challenging client behaviors, and limited engagement, Sharlet began exploring how the human anim... | 33m 05s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | Can You Really Make Money Selling Courses and Digital Products Online? | Can you really make money selling courses and digital products as a speech, occupational, or physical therapist? The short answer is yes. But there's a formula, and most people are missing key pieces of it. In this episode, I am breaking down exactly what it takes to identify a product people will connect with and pay for, why most people don't see success (and it's probably not what you think), and what you can do differently to create a sustainable revenue stream outside of your clinical ho... | 26m 33s | ||||||

When I finally understood what it meant, everything clicked. I've been trying to drag all my old baggage into this new chapter, and it's keeping me stuck.

| 2/3/26 | Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable | In this solo episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m talking about why discomfort is not a sign that you’re doing something wrong, especially when you’re growing a private practice or building something new. So many clinicians know what they need to do to move forward, but they get stuck because the next step feels awkward, scary, or unfamiliar. This episode is about understanding why growth almost always feels uncomfortable and why avoiding it keeps you stuck longer than you realize. I’m shar... | 19m 41s | ||||||

| 1/20/26 | Everything You Need to Know About Websites | In this solo episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m breaking down why your website is one of the most important marketing tools for speech therapists and private practice owners. Your website is often the first impression a potential client has of your speech therapy practice, and when it is unclear, outdated, or hard to navigate, it costs you inquiries and referrals. This episode is about understanding what actually makes a speech therapy website work and why simplicity and clarity matter mo... | 28m 23s | ||||||
