概要

 Building a Private Practice as a Woman & Mom: Strategies for Fighting the Patriarchy in Therapy BusinessThis episode of The Therapist Mom Podcast is packed with fresh, real-world insights to help you build a flexible, values-driven private practice as a mom and business owner. If you’ve been struggling with the guilt and overwhelm of trying to “do it all”—grow your practice, be present for your family, and not get lost in the hustle—this episode is truly for you.As someone who’s spent years navigating the intersection of private practice, motherhood, and all the pressures that come with being a woman in today’s world, I know that small, strategic shifts can lead to big, liberating changes. If you’re ready for an honest look at building a business that puts your needs and values first (while naming the hard stuff about motherhood and the broken systems that make it harder), you’re in just the right place.Let’s dig into the story and strategies I share in honor of the podcast turning three, the start of Women’s History Month, and why I see building a private practice as an act of resistance.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeCelebrating Women’s Achievements: How the podcast’s anniversary and Women’s History Month inspired me to share about lifting each other up as women—and why that matters now more than ever.The “Patriarchy Problem” in Private Practice and Motherhood: Why the systems weren’t built for us…and how private practice creates room for real autonomy.Community & Connection as Resistance: The importance of finding (and creating) community, with practical details on upcoming events for therapist moms.Episode Timestamps00:02 – Welcome to The Therapist Mom Podcast—building private practice while navigating motherhood and broken systems.00:31 – Voice update, unscripted episode, and celebrating our third podcast birthday and the launch during Women’s History Month.02:20 – Olympics recap, women’s vs. men’s hockey, and why national narratives about women’s success still frustrate and trigger us.05:25 – Growing up as an ‘80s baby: school, sexism, “feminazi” labels, and early experiences that shaped my advocacy.13:03 – Why private practice is my answer to the patriarchy—and how it allows us to build the life and business we actually want.15:18 – Community as the antidote: my commitment to supporting other women and the announcement of new networking events.20:10 – How to sign up for our first therapist mom networking event, and a call to share your own stories of resilience.Top Takeaways on Building a Values-Driven Private Practice as a Mom1. Challenging the Patriarchy by Building Your Own PracticeLet’s break this down: The traditional ways we’re told to “do work” simply weren’t made for women, especially moms. The 9-to-5, the lack of flexibility, the unspoken narratives about what good mothers and good professionals “should” do—it’s all part of a larger, broken system. Starting and shaping a private practice is more than business ownership—it’s an act of saying, “I get to decide what my life and work look like.” This hit me hard as I shared about the Olympics controversy: when wins by women are treated as secondary, it’s a stark reminder that the world hasn’t caught up yet. But we don’t have to wait for it to.2. Create Community, Not CompetitionHere’s how you start implementing this TODAY:Step 1: Join a like-minded community (I’m re-launching free networking events for therapist moms—details in the episode).Step 2: Show up and be real. Whether you’re thriving or struggling, sharing honestly builds genuine support.Step 3: Pro tip—don’t be afraid to ask for what you need (resources, encouragement, or just someone to vent to). We empower each other.3. What NOT to Do When Claiming Autonomy in Business & MotherhoodWe all make mistakes, but let’s save you the headache. Here’s what NOT to do:Mistake 1: Believing you have to choose between being a good mom and having a fulfilling career.Mistake 2: Trying to fit your life into a system that was never designed to serve you (or fit anyone, really!).Mistake 3: Isolating yourself or thinking you must go it alone. We need each other—community is resistance.Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeJoin us March 13, 2026 12pm EST/11am CST via Zoom for a free therapist mom networking event.
