Are you a private practitioner with a side project or budding business that feels both exciting and a little terrifying? In today’s coaching episode, Linzy sits down with Sara Nelson-Johns, a recent Money Skills for Therapists graduate, to tackle some common yet challenging questions about scaling a second business. Sara, who specializes in ADHD, relationship challenges, and perfectionism in her main practice, has developed an planners for people with ADHD, designed to help them organize their lives in a brain-friendly way.

Linzy and Sara explore the daunting experience of being “seen” as a business owner. Linzy shares about how it can feel safer to work one-on-one with clients in a therapy room and how putting a product out there for the world can bring up fears of exposure and invalidation. Together, Linzy and Sara examine ways to shift this mindset, moving from feeling overly vulnerable to building a resilient and strategic approach to business. Linzy also offers practical advice on building a business that allows you to grow in alignment with your values and goals, without overwhelming the most sensitive parts of yourself.

Whether you’re just starting a side project or are ready to take your business to the next level, this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and the reminder that moving forward, even when it’s scary, can lead to real growth. Tune in to uncover practical steps for scaling your business with confidence and clarity.
