In today’s episode, I’m sharing about the good, the bad, & the messy of my third $100k month. I’m super proud of this accomplishment, because let me tell you…between team member challenges, tech issues, and more, September was anything but easy. But we made it happen! I received some awesome questions from my Instagram community about HOW I made $100,000 in one month, so I’m excited to break it allll down here!

In this episode, I cover:

• A breakdown of where my revenue came from
• How I’ve been able to nurture my audience & really build trust with them
• My biggest mindset shift over the last year that led to multiple $100k months
• Feeling ambitious + challenged vs. ‘pressured’ to keep making more money
• Why I don’t ‘do it all’ + what my support looks like
• How much profit I actually take home + breakdown of my expenses

I started with ZERO followers. I’ve grown both of my Instagram accounts from 0 to 10k in under a year. It took a LOT of trial and error as I was growing my first therapy page (@sitwithkelly), and I for sure made my fair share of mistakes. All of my hard work and consistency helped me have an ‘easier’ experience with my second page.

I’ve learned sooo much along the way, but I’ve also been an Instagram therapist for 4 years now! If you’re a brand new therapist on Instagram (or even if you aren’t), I don’t want you to compare your journey to mine.

I want to share with you 9 key things that I would focus on, if I was starting over as a new Instagram therapist. Some of these items will take you more time than others (especially in the beginning). But...as you learn, you’ll get better and faster over time.

In this episode, I cover:

• What it was like growing my first Instagram page vs. my second
• Nine things I would focus on as a new Instagram therapist

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the number one driver of results in my business. If I had to sum it up in one word, the number one driver of all my results in my business has been CONSISTENCY.

Consistency probably doesn’t mean (or even look) the same for everyone. I do believe that it’s crucial if you want to continue growing your private practice though! Consistency allows you to build trust and deepen relationships with your community, and get realllly good at one particular thing.

At the end of the day, showing up consistently on Instagram NEEDS to be a priority. This is the way you’re going to succeed in your business, and make more of a lasting impact with your ideal client!

In this episode, I cover:

• What consistency looks like for me in MY business
• Reasons why consistency is so important in business
• Why showing up on Instagram consistently needs to be your priority + ways to do this
• Why you need to get really good at one thing before adding MORE to your plate

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carrie for seven months now, and I’m sooo proud of what she’s accomplished in that time!

Carrie has already seen major success with not only one, but TWO Instagram pages. She’s grown her main account to well over 45k followers, primarily using Instagram Reels to reach more people. She has a full caseload with dream clients (plus more ready to work with her).

Carrie has been able to grow multiple income streams using Reels. She’s gone from working 20-25 hours every week, to 10-15 doing work she’s EXCITED about. She’s also brought on two associates to her practice, and now charges $375 per 1-1 session!

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about using Reels to grow multiple income streams. Reels are the best way to reach MORE of your ideal client on Instagram.

The reality is...building a six-figure business is HARD.

It feels challenging and awkward at first. It takes more time than you think (or would like).

But...just because it feels super hard in the beginning, doesn’t mean you need to burn out in order to grow your Instagram. When you’re hustling and putting in extra effort, it should still be done in a way that feels manageable for YOU!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 4 ways you can experience big Instagram growth, minus the burnout.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why building a business is hard work in the beginning
• 4 ways to make Instagram feel sustainable + still experience growth

One of the things I consistently share on Instagram is my monthly income report. You may have noticed that my income from 1-1 therapy clients isn’t as high as it used to be. In fact...it’s pretty low, which has led people to ask me WHY that is.

Well...that’s because I made the tough decision to see less therapy clients.

You may be thinking ‘why the heck would you do that?!”, or questioning if it’s possible for YOU to make 6 figures seeing 1-1 therapy clients.

I knew I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this topic and talk more in depth about WHY I decided to see less therapy clients. Quite a bit has changed for me along the way, so let’s get into it!

In this episode, I cover:

• My first year in private practice with ONLY1-1 therapy clients
• What happened when my Instagram really took off
• My major business growth in 2022 + what needed to change in 2023
• Why I intentionally chose to see less 1-1 therapy clients in 2023 and what this looked like
• Why you MUST give yourself permission to do what’s best for you and your business
