I invited my pal Jeff Guenther back on Rebel Therapist because I've noticed 2 things he does brilliantly well in his marketing. Not only is he great at marketing, but he's also really honest and willing to give you zero BS as he explains what he does and why.
I expect you to listen to everything he's sharing here and borrow the parts that might work for you in marketing your incredible and unique business.
Just so I don't bury the best part, due to how Jeff has been using TikTok, his company Therapy Den has had a 50% increase in therapy referrals. That's absurdly high.
My guest today made a move that opened the floodgates and helped her give herself permission to get more creative, honest, and courageous in her work.
That move was expanding from only having a therapy practice into also starting a coaching business.
As you're listening, ask yourself what you're longing to give yourself persmission to step into. I encourage you to take that longing seriously.
My guest is Caitlin Olsen, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a coach. Caitlin is also working on a mental health memoir while building her online course library.
