Why did Tiffany decide to leave her hospital job and start a private practice?
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-trude 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.

That's how long today's guest carried around the thought of I like to do private practice before she did anything about it. Five years of knowing that this is what she wanted to do. And maybe you're in the same position. Before we get to today's guest, I want to talk about the word that cost her those five years. And it's a word that you've probably used this week. Here's the problem with that word: ready insinuate. Insinuates that you've already eliminated every possible risk, that you have the perfect office, the perfect website, the clear five-year plan, and zero chance of it going sideways.
And since that doesn't exist, you stay where you are. Now, this episode is for people who already have a private practice too, because ready comes back around when it's time to do things like raise your rates, sign a lease, or hire your first. First employee, same word, same stall. But I want you to be careful here because I'm not telling you to blow up your life. There's a real difference between leaving scared and leaving desperate. If you walk away with no income, no plan, and no runway, you will make decisions out of panic. You'll take clients that you don't want, set rates that you'll resent, and you'll build yourself a brand new trap. So Give yourself a bridge, a PRN shift, a contract, a few months of cushion, something that buys you the ability to say no.
That's what allows you to make decisions from a place of power instead of panic. That's the thing that protects the practice that you're trying to build. And today you're gonna hear exactly how that worked for one of my students and how it can work for you too. 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. Welcome back to another episode of the Private Practice Success Stories Podcast. I'm your host, Jenna Castor Kasbon, and I'm so excited for you to meet today's guest, Tiffany Fairdocy. Tiffany is a speech language pathologist and the owner of Kinetic Speech Services in Peryland, Texas. And I want to give you a little bit of context before we jump in. Tiffany spent 13 years in medical settings, settings like skilled nursing, acute care, and input. Patient rehab specializing in stroke rehabilitation and Parkinson's disease.
She had a young child at home and was racing out the door every afternoon to make pickup. And underneath all of it, for about five years, was a desire that she couldn't shake. Then she got passed over for a leadership position at the hospital. And what she decided in that moment is the reason why we're sitting here today.
