If you’ve been quietly dreaming about launching your own practice but the startup costs, tech decisions, and “perfect setup” pressure have kept you on pause, this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down what you actually need (and what you can skip) to start your private practice on a shoestring budget. We’ll unpack how comparison, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking can hold you back and why beginning small is not just practical, but empowering.

You’ll learn:

• The essential tools I recommend so you can legally and ethically open your doors for under $160
• Why starting lean can set you up for long-term sustainability
• Simple, low-cost ways to connect with clients and referral sources without overspending on marketing

By the end, you’ll have a clear plan to move from dreaming to doing. And just know that I’m cheering you on and can’t wait to hear about your first steps!
