What is the overall purpose of the Private Practice Success Force podcast 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.

Bailey is an occupational therapist and founder of Glimmer Project in the Houston, Texas area that helps both children and adults understand their sensory processing patterns and regulate their nervous systems. What's so inspiring about Bailey's story is how she turned burnout and doubt into clarity and confidence. After years of working in other people's private practices and feeling stretched thin, she finally decided to bet on herself. and it paid off. She joined the Start Your Private Practice program and within months of starting her own practice, Bailey replaced her full time income while cutting her workload in half

In this episode, you'll hear how Bailey went from almost leaving occupational therapy to thriving as her own boss, the simple crunch the numbers mindset shift that helped her make the leap, the creative ways that she attracts her ideal sensory focused clients, and why she adopted the mantra When You Bet on Yourself you win. If you've ever wondered whether private practice could be your path out of burnout, or if you dream of designing a business that actually fits your life, then this episode will show you that it is absolutely possible. 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.
How did Bailey McBride first become interested in occupational therapy?
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. Alright, so before we begin, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Yes, my name's Bailey McBride. I am based in the Houston, Texas area. My private practice is called Glimmer Project.
I'm so happy to have you here, Bailey, because you know, first of all, you're an OT and we have not had as many OTs on the show as I've been wanting. So listeners, if you are an OT or if you know OTs that with private practices, please send them my way so I can feature them on the show too. But Bailey, it has been so cool to get to watch you go from, you know, complete beginner startup to where your private practice is now. But take everybody back to the beginning. How did you get started in the field of OT? And at what point did you start thinking about private practice?
Yeah. So I am a uh sister of a Down syndrome adult. Um so I grew up navigating life with a person who had support needs and benefited from therapies. But I actually didn't hear about the feel of OT until I was, I think, a freshman in college.
