What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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 want to 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.

Why do SLPs say they want freedom when starting a private practice?
Today we're gonna talk about one of the top reasons why SLPs tell me that they wanna start their own private practice. Freedom. Let's talk about what freedom means to SLPs and how to get more of it. So stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice.
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. Hello and welcome to this very special freedom-focused episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. Today I want to talk about what freedom and independence means as a clinician and how you can get more of it through private practice. This episode is being released on Independence Day, and even though it relates to America's Independence Day, I want to talk to you about a different type of Independence Day. The day that you decide to work independently.
For yourself. Whenever I ask SLPs why they want to start private practices, many folks say freedom. Now, as you're listening to this episode, I want you to think about what freedom you seek and what freedom means to you as an SLP. No matter what freedom feels like or looks like to you, I truly believe that the only way to truly have professional, personal, and financial freedom is by owning your own business, and in our cases, private practice.
How does the host define professional, personal, and financial freedom for clinicians?
Because there is nothing more independent than owning your own business. Fifteen years ago, I took a big step and I saw my very first private client. I was twenty six years old and I had an opportunity to see a private client and it fell right into my lap long before I had ever imagined it could happen. I had planned to start a private practice one day, but certainly not within a year of getting my C's. I'll never forget the feeling when I said yes, I was available to see them. Even though I was young in my career, I already knew that I was heading toward burnout. My caseload was bursting at the seams, I had endless amounts of documentation, and any spare moment was filled with a meeting that didn't matter.
I wanted more freedom. The freedom to choose which clients I worked with And felt best about treating. The freedom to not be distracted by reports and work emails in the evenings. The freedom to do the kind and amount of therapy that my patients needed most. I started seeing my own private clients after work and on the weekend. The feeling I would get when I packed up my bag, skipped out the door, drove to my private client's house with the windows down and humming a tune was thrilling. I felt free. Then the whole time I was with my clients, I felt like I was doing my best work. They felt heard, seen, and grateful for us to be able to do exactly what they needed to do in their space.
