🏫Continuing Education for Mental Health Counselors, Marriage & Family Therapists, Social Workers + Psychologists
Convenient, on the go learning. 🎧

If you’ve ever thought about teaching other therapists or creating your own continuing education (CE) courses but felt completely overwhelmed by the process - this podcast episode is for you.

As a licensed therapist, I’ve been there. I wanted to expand beyond the therapy room, share what I’ve learned, and diversify my income.

But when I first started, I quickly realized how much goes into creating a CE course: designing learning objectives, understanding CE requirements, dealing with tech, writing outlines, and figuring out marketing and compliance. It was a lot.

Over the years, I’ve figured out how to make it all work and now I’ve built something to help you skip the overwhelm and get straight to creating.

✨ Introducing the CE Course Builder! A completely FREE, AI-powered tool for mental health clinicians.

Created inside ChatGPT, this custom GPT walks you step-by-step through creating and launching your own CE course.

Whether you want to:
✔️ Turn a podcast episode into a CE course
✔️ Write NBCC- or APA-aligned learning objectives
✔️ Outline your course modules
✔️ Create scripts, sales pages & email campaigns
✔️ Or finally launch the CE idea you’ve been sitting on…

This tool does all of it and it was built specifically for therapists. 💛

📌 Why I made it:
Too many clinicians told me they wanted to teach but felt overwhelmed by compliance, tech, or simply not knowing where to begin. This builder is the “course creation coach” I wish I had years ago.

📌 Who it’s for:
• Therapists wanting to expand into teaching
• Clinicians ready to diversify income
• Group practice owners wanting internal CE
• Anyone with expertise they want to share

All you need is a ChatGPT account (free or paid).

The research is clear: prioritizing individual happiness doesn’t always lead to better mental health. So why are we still telling clients it does?
josh.coleman, a nationally recognized expert on family estrangement, offers a powerful critique of the individualism baked into modern therapeutic models.

In this clip, he challenges the idea that setting boundaries and prioritizing one’s own peace is always the healthiest path.

Drawing on research, including studies by Iris Maus at UC Berkeley, Dr. Coleman explores how a hyper-focus on personal happiness can lead to less happiness, fractured relationships, and missed opportunities for growth and repair.

For therapists, this raises a critical question:

👉 Are we guiding clients toward healing or unintentionally reinforcing disconnection?

This episode invites clinicians to rethink therapeutic norms and consider more relational, compassionate frameworks, especially in work around family rupture, estrangement, and reconciliation.

🚨 NEW PODCOURSE ALERT! 🚨

Neuroplastic symptoms—also known as mind-body or psychophysiologic symptoms—show up more often than you might think in clinical settings.

In this new Podcourse, Dr. Clarke and I dive into:

🧠 The true nature and prevalence of neuroplastic symptoms
💥 How trauma, unresolved emotions, and personality traits drive chronic, non-structural physical symptoms
🛠️ Evidence-based strategies any therapist can use to assess and treat these symptoms—no medical degree required

Whether you’ve encountered clients with unexplained pain, fatigue, or GI issues, or you're just curious about integrating mind-body principles into your work, this episode is a must-listen.

👀 Swipe through for the ones I refuse to believe — and if any hit home, you’re not alone.

Let’s change the way we do continuing education and learning. Because we don’t do burnout culture over here. We do alignment, purpose, and freedom.
