Every therapist wants to know:
"Okay, but how long will it actually take for me to get to a Life First Fee?"

You want to know how long until you can stop drowning in insurance, stop resenting your caseload, stop working like hell for bread-crumb money…
and finally have a practice where you work your ideal number of weekly clients — while earning the income you actually need to live.

And Tiffany's answer is the one therapists don't want to hear — but need to:
There is no timeline. And also… the timeline doesn't matter.

In this episode, Tiffany dismantles the fantasy that someone else can predict your speed. She walks you through why some therapists hit their Life First Fee in 30 days, while others take 4 months, 9 months, or 4 years — and why every version is worth it.

She also uses a powerful cave metaphor to illustrate exactly why the journey is different for every therapist — and why what happens inside the cave is actually what transforms you.

In this episode, Tiffany reveals:

• Why the question "How long will it take?" is rooted in scarcity, fear, and disbelief;
  
  

• What hundreds of LIM data points show about how long it takes to book a Life First Fee client;
  
  

• Why therapists like Sarah doubled their revenue and bought a house in four months — and why that's not the point;
  
  

• How your "lion," your "tin foil," and your "pitfall" shape your exact timeline;
  
  

• Why the journey itself is what creates the confidence, self-trust, and skill set you use for the rest of your career;
  
  

• Why 2 years of transformation is a blink compared to spending 20 more years undercharging and burning out.
  
  

This episode will snap you out of your timeline obsession and into the truth: the work is worth it, no matter how long it takes.

If you're ready to walk into the cave — even if you're scared — email Tiffany at tiffany@leaninmakebank.com with the word "Cave."
She'll take the first step with you.

In this episode, Tiffany talks with Sara Rader, LPCC, a maternal mental health and trauma specialist who transformed her practice — and her entire life — in just four months inside LIMB Academy.

Sara didn't hustle.
She didn't add more clients.
She didn't work more hours.

Instead, she got brutally honest about her money stories, her faith conditioning, her sliding scale patterns, and the quiet anxiety that had been running her practice behind the scenes.

The result?

She nearly doubled her private practice income while seeing the same number of clients — AND bought her family's first home.

This episode is packed with grounded wisdom, spiritual depth, and a level of honesty most therapists never say out loud… but every therapist needs to hear.

• Why she always felt anxious about money despite "looking successful" on paper

• How she realized her entire practice was a sliding scale — even though she thought she had a "full fee"

• The moment she decided to stop spiritualizing self-sacrifice and start honoring her worth

• What it was like raising her fee with all her existing clients

• The faith-based fears she had to confront about being seen as greedy or judged by her community

• How charging $200/session changed her parenting, her presence, and her clinical work

• Why her nervous system finally calmed once she committed to her life-first fee

• And how she hit a massive financial milestone without burnout, panic, or hustle

If your marketing stopped working…
If your phone stopped ringing…
If you're on insurance panels and still can't fill your practice…

You are not imagining it.
And you are not doing anything wrong.

The ground has shifted under our industry — and almost no one is telling therapists the truth about what's actually happening.

In this episode, Tiffany names the uncomfortable reality: what worked in 2019–2022 will not save your practice in 2026. And if you keep playing by the old rules, you are actively positioning yourself to be replaced by big tech and AI.

This is not fear-mongering.
This is a wake-up call.

In this episode, Tiffany breaks down:

• Why SEO, Psychology Today, and "just niche down" stopped working — and why that's not your fault
  
  

• How the pandemic cracked the industry wide open and invited big tech to scale therapy at your expense
  
  

• Why undercharging and insurance dependency are not just personal problems — they are industry-level threats
  
  

• How therapists unknowingly trained tech companies to replace them by agreeing to speed, volume, and one-size-fits-all care
  
  

• Why worksheet therapy and checkbox models are the exact conditions AI needs to take over
  
  

• What AI cannot replace — and what you must do to protect your authority, your income, and your impact
  
  

• Why charging your Life First Fee is no longer optional if you want therapy to survive as a profession
  
  

This episode is not about panic.
It's about choice.

As we move into 2026, therapists will go one of two ways:

• Invisible, interchangeable, and replaced
  
  

• Or visible, authoritative, and shaping the future of mental health
  
  

There is no middle ground anymore.

If you are ready to step into authority, protect the future of therapy, and get paid for the impact you make, email Tiffany at tiffany@leaninmakebank.com with the subject line "I'm Ready."

Because AI can't replace real therapy.
But it will replace therapists who refuse to value themselves.

And 2026 belongs to the ones who step the fuck up.
