Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis. They're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process, and now we wanna help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our Private Practice Roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Rachel Mangan is a speech-language pathologist in private practice in Orlando, Florida, who specializes in working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Rachel was part of the Great Resignation and details how she transitioned from employee to private practice owner. Rachel's path to private practice was influenced by her son's cancer diagnosis. He's okay now, but living through that experience showed Rachel that life is precious, and if you have a dream, you should go for it. In this episode, she talks a lot about gratitude and how she uses the mantra, get to grateful in her daily life as a mom and as a private practice owner.

Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.

But before we get to like how things are going now, because I'm sure people are curious, can we go back to the beginning of your career and let people know kind of what that was like? And then also, at what point did you start thinking about private practice?
Yeah, those are great questions. I have to say, Jenna, I started following you a long time ago. I found you on Facebook, I believe, but it was... I think it was probably around like 2015. When did you start doing independent? Y'all, I started
