Episode #769: Advocacy in Practice with Maya Benattar

Episode #768: Why Your Networking Isn't Leading to Referrals
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith — Limitless Practice grad, now on Team Abundance, premium-fee private pay practice in New Orleans. We're talking about why a full year of networking can still get you nowhere.

Episode #763: Shrinking an Overfull Practice
In today's episode, I'm strategizing with Abundance Party member Jessica about getting her caseload down to 25 clients — who stays, who gets referred out, & whether group therapy makes sense for her practice.
