What is the main idea behind starting a private practice while keeping a school job?
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.

Danny Newcombe is a school SLP, start your private practice alum, and InstaFamous on Instagram, where you may know her as the messy SLP. In this episode, Danny talks about how she has no plans to quit her job as a school SLP, but is seeing private clients on the side as a way to work with her ideal clients and create another income stream to help increase her finances. You do not need to quit your job to start a private practice. You can do exactly what Danny is doing and work with ideal clients and get paid what you're worth, even just a few hours a week. I cannot wait to introduce you to Danny, who again you may know from Instagram, but you may not know her full story, 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.
One of the things that I say all the time is there is no such thing as a perfect private practice, only one that's perfect for you. When you work for someone else, they choose which clients you see, how many people are on your caseload, they dictate your hours and your pay. That's just the nature of being an employee, right? Well what if you had a chance to be your own boss without quitting your job? Well, that's exactly what today's guest, Danny Newcomb, is going to talk about. To be honest, before I started my private practice, I had no clue that seeing private clients on the side was an option. I thought you either were in private practice or you weren't. At the time, I only thought about private practice as a job setting.
Now I realize that private practice is like a vehicle to get the freedom, flexibility, and financial independence that you want. Private practice is more like choose your own adventure than I realized. I teach my students how to picture a private practice that works for them and for the current season of their life and then put plans into place to make it happen. And yes, a small private practice on the side is a great option, and it's much more lucrative than people realize. So without further ado, let's go on to the episode with Danny, who has created a private practice that works well for her, her goals, and the clients that she serves. And we are gonna hear Danny's story, which is absolutely amazing.
Right? She's like really awesome at reels. Jenna's trying to learn how to do reels. That's something she excels at. Maybe you teach me how to do reels and I'll keep teaching you about private practice. How about that? Perfect, I'm in. Perfect. I love it. So I know lots of y'all know Danny, but just in case, could you introduce yourself to everyone and and just share a little bit about yourself?
