In this episode of The Therapy Show, I'm talking to therapists, counselors, social workers, coaches, and mental health professionals who have thought about starting a podcast but aren't sure where to begin. I share what I've learned from my own podcasting journey, including how The Therapy Show evolved into a continuing education platform and how podcasting can help therapists build trust, clarify their message, connect with other professionals, and create a body of work that reflects their expertise. I also talk honestly about why podcasting is not a quick fix. A podcast works best when it has a clear purpose, a specific audience, and a connection to your larger professional goals. In This Episode, I Cover: Why therapists are drawn to podcasting How to clarify your podcast's purpose Why your audience matters more than your microphone How to choose a format that fits your energy and goals Ethical considerations for therapist podcasters Common mistakes therapists make when starting a podcast How podcasting can support a practice, CE business, coaching offer, or consulting service Questions to ask before you hit record Therapists don't need to start a podcast just because podcasting is popular. But if you have a clear audience, a meaningful purpose, and a realistic plan, podcasting can be a powerful way to build trust, share your expertise, and create new professional opportunities.
