| HHW Therapists 57 - Is It Actually Easier To Sell To Other Therapists? | 18 sept. 2026 | 00:29:20 | |
A question that keeps coming up in Amanda's mastermind is whether it's easier to sell to other therapists than to sell directly to consumers. The short answer is no, and this episode is about why. She gets into why it only looks easier from the outside, what the algorithm is actually showing you when you scroll through Instagram, and what really determines whether any offer succeeds regardless of who you're selling to. She also makes the case that the differentiating factor in any market, B2B or B2C, is never the product itself. It's you, and whether you actually know your ideal client's pain points well enough to make them feel seen. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 56 - How to Know If You Actually Have Proof of Concept | 11 sept. 2026 | 00:32:41 | |
Proof of concept is one of those phrases that gets thrown around a lot in business spaces without a lot of clarity on what it actually means or when you actually have it. Amanda gets into why most people misread their own data, what it actually means when a launch goes quiet, and why changing your price or restructuring your offer means you're running a completely new experiment, not a continuation of the last one. If you've ever had something work, then changed one thing and watched it stop working, and concluded the whole idea was dead, this episode is going to push back on that. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 55 - Stop Charging Your Worth, Start Charging Your Needs | 04 sept. 2026 | 00:27:57 | |
The advice to "charge your worth" is everywhere in therapist spaces, and Amanda has some real problems with it. Not because the intent is wrong, but because for most therapists with complex trauma and a complicated relationship with self-worth, it's not actually useful guidance. She makes the case for a different frame: charging what you need, and not just for right now. That means thinking beyond your current bills and debts and actually accounting for future you, including retirement, which most therapists are either ignoring or treating as a nice-to-have. She also gets personal about her own numbers, what her accountant told her about her projected 2026 tax liability, and why she finally started maxing out her retirement contributions this year.

| HHW Therapists 54 - How I Plan for 2 Week Vacations While Running 2 Businesses | 28 août 2026 | 00:24:54 | |
Amanda gets into what time off actually looks like when you run two businesses, and why it looks nothing like the social media version of passive income and unplugging for weeks at a time. She breaks down how premium fees and a smaller caseload changed what taking time off even felt like, why she still chooses to take some calls while traveling, and how she thinks through which commitments to keep and which ones to move when she's out. If you've been telling yourself you can't take time off because you can't afford to stop seeing clients, this episode is worth a listen. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 53 - Weekly Sessions or Intensives? Choose on Purpose. | 21 août 2026 | 00:35:06 | |
At some point, if you add therapy intensives and they actually start working, you hit a decision point nobody prepares you for. Your intensive calendar is filling up, your weekly caseload is still full of people you genuinely care about, and a new consult request just landed in your inbox. What do you do? Amanda gets into the three separate decisions most therapists are trying to answer all at once, why a weekly wait list is not always the compassionate move it feels like, and how to know whether a hybrid practice is your actual destination or just a holding pattern you never examined. The through line in all of it: stop letting a full calendar make the decision for you. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 52 - I Charge $1500 for My Intensives. You Shouldn't Copy That Number. | 19 août 2026 | 00:24:32 | |
Amanda makes the case that comparing your intensive rate to what everyone else charges is the easy question dressed up as the hard one. The real question, the one most therapists skip right past, is what are you actually trying to buy back with that money? Time, peace, the ability to say no without panic, evenings that belong to you instead of your notes? That answer looks different for every therapist, and none of it gets solved by copying someone else's rate. She gets concrete about how to actually figure out your number, why therapy intensives change the math in a way that weekly sessions alone can't, and why the structure of your practice has to serve your actual life rather than the other way around.

| HHW Therapists 51 - Why Your Next Certification Won't Get You Fully Booked | 17 août 2026 | 00:31:26 | |
Amanda makes an argument that might be uncomfortable to sit with: the thing most therapists think is holding them back from premium fees, whether that's a missing certification, not enough years of experience, or a niche that isn't narrow enough, is almost never actually the thing. She walks through what really happens when clients book a therapy intensive, how the modality is usually the hook but the relationship is what keeps them, and why that distinction matters a lot for how you market your practice.

| HHW Therapists 50 - The Marketing Mistake Killing Your Private Pay Practice | 14 août 2026 | 00:23:52 | |
Most therapists change their fee, go out of network, maybe build out a specialized offer, and then wonder why inquiries aren't converting the way they should. Amanda's argument in this episode is that the clinical work changed, the business model changed, but the marketing never got the memo. She breaks down what clients paying premium fees out of pocket are actually looking for, why warm and generic doesn't answer any of their real questions, and what has to shift before the marketing and the fee start working together.

| HHW Therapists 49 - What's Actually Working for Premium Fees in 2026 | 12 août 2026 | 00:23:22 | |
Amanda makes the case that premium therapy fees in 2026 have almost nothing to do with certifications, credentials, or years of experience. What's actually driving higher rates is positioning and access, and most therapists are missing both. She walks through how therapy intensives work as a catalyst not just for adding income, but for raising your weekly rate, rebuilding confidence in your clinical work, and shifting the way your entire practice reads to potential clients.

| HHW Therapists 48 - How I Went from $125 to $500 Per Session | 07 août 2026 | 00:29:22 | |
Amanda gets into her own fee history, from her very first client at $85 a session to charging $400 to $500 an hour for therapy intensives, and what actually made each increase possible. This isn't a pep talk about charging your worth. It's an honest look at the two myths keeping most therapists underpriced, how to know when you're actually ready to raise your rates, and why staying too low for too long costs your clients something too.

| HHW Therapists 47 - The #1 Thing That Helped Me Scale to $1.25M in 4 Years | 31 juil. 2026 | 00:37:01 | |
Amanda makes the case for the one thing that has done more for her business growth than any offer, marketing strategy, or sales technique: capacity. If you're a therapist who knows your offer works and clients keep coming back, but you still feel like you're drowning, your problem probably isn't your strategy. It's that you are the entire delivery mechanism for everything in your business. Amanda gets into how she recognized that in her own practice, what finally pushed her to hire her first virtual assistant, how to know when you're actually ready, and which tasks to hand off first.

| HHW Therapists 46 - The AI and Overdelivering Trap | 24 juil. 2026 | 00:30:37 | |
Amanda calls out something she's been sitting with for a while: the obsession with building faster using AI, and why it's actually working against you. This isn't an anti-AI episode, but it is an honest one. She breaks down why handing your program design, landing page copy, and curriculum over to AI creates something that could belong to anyone, and in a crowded market full of therapists-turned-coaches, generic is the most expensive thing you can be. She also gets into the over-delivery trap, why five group calls a week is not the flex it sounds like, and what actually drives results in a coaching container. If you've been cranking out content and wondering why it's not landing, this episode is probably going to tell you why. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 45 - She Surpassed Last Year's Revenue by July | 17 juil. 2026 | 00:57:24 | |
Amanda sits down with Danielle Sampson, a licensed clinical social worker who went from seeing 28-30 insurance clients a week to building a thriving SEO business for therapists, launching a course, and starting a group practice, all within about a year. Danielle gets real about what it actually looked like to scale: the membership idea that flopped, the shoulder surgery that forced her to think differently about income, the late nights setting up systems she had no idea how to use, and the month she made more than she had in all of last year. She and Amanda also dig into what makes a coaching relationship actually work, why staying in the room longer than most people do matters, and how to think about profit versus revenue when your income starts to grow faster than you expected.

| HHW Therapists 44 - 4 Lessons from Scaling My Coaching Business | 10 juil. 2026 | 00:36:25 | |
Amanda pulls back the curtain on what scaling her coaching business actually looked like, including the four lessons she wishes someone had told her way earlier. She gets into why spending big before you've proven your concept is a trap, why complexity feels like progress but usually isn't, why hustle culture is just burnout with better branding, and why following someone else's blueprint to the letter can leave you building something you end up resenting. If you've ever looked at someone further along and wondered how they make it look easy, this episode is the honest answer to that question. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 43 - What's Actually Working in Launches Right Now | 05 juil. 2026 | 00:23:19 | |
Amanda wraps up the Summer Spark series by getting into what actually makes a launch work, and why most therapists unknowingly sabotage their own. She walks through the four core launch levers: bonuses, payment plans, guarantees, and urgency and scarcity, and breaks down how to use each one in a way that fits a therapist's business specifically. She also names the thing that trips most people up, which is learning the mechanics without thinking through how they apply to your specific offer, audience, and revenue goals. If you've launched something and it underperformed, or you're getting ready to put something out into the world for the first time, this episode gives you the framework to do it right.

| HHW Therapists 42 - What Starting a Second Business Actually Costs | 04 juil. 2026 | 00:27:00 | |
Amanda Buduris tackles one of the most common fears therapists have about building a second income stream: how much is this actually going to cost? She breaks down what you genuinely need to spend money on at the starting phase, what you can skip until your business earns the right to grow, and how your investment profile should change as your revenue does. She also gets into the cost nobody talks about enough, which is the cost of not investing at the right time. Whether you want to add therapy intensives, build a coaching offer, or create a digital product, this episode gives you a realistic picture of what lean startup actually looks like and what the path forward looks like from there.

| HHW Therapists 41 - The Real Reason Your Launches Work (Or Don't) | 03 juil. 2026 | 00:27:26 | |
In this episode, Amanda Buduris discusses the importance of nurturing content over conversion content in the context of successful launches for therapists and entrepreneurs. She emphasizes that a successful launch is built long before the cart opens, primarily through long-form content that fosters relationships and trust with potential clients. Amanda explains the difference between nurture and conversion content, highlighting how both are essential for effective marketing strategies.

| HHW Therapists 40 - Should Therapists Add Coaching? | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:37:33 | |
Amanda gets into one of the most common questions she hears from therapists: should you add coaching to your practice? This isn't a vague "it depends" answer. She walks through the real pros and cons, what therapists consistently get wrong when making this decision, and the four questions you need to answer before you build anything. The pros are genuine: more creative freedom, higher income ceiling, and the ability to use more of what you already know. But the cons are just as real. Protecting your license, unpredictable ROI, client expectations, and the reality of building a second business from scratch all deserve serious thought. If you've been on the fence about adding coaching, this is the honest conversation you actually needed. Connect with Amanda:

Amanda breaks down several models including the traditional weekly caseload, therapy intensives, digital products, and coaching programs, highlighting the pros and cons of each.

| HHW Therapists 37 - From Solo to $2M (And Almost Burned It Down) | 19 juin 2026 | 00:48:45 | |
Amanda sits down with Dr. Anahita Banoo Lake-Khosravi, a Denver-based psychologist who built a group practice from scratch, scaled to nine therapists and over two million dollars in revenue, and recently sold it. In this conversation, Anahita gets real about what it actually takes to scale a group practice with intention, why so many practice owners end up wanting to burn it all down, and how the work of stepping into a leadership role surfaces personal stuff no one warns you about. She and Amanda dig into pay structure pitfalls, the mindset work that separates people who get results from those who don't, and why what you decide to do today doesn't have to be what you're doing five years from now. They also talk about what it means to build a business as a woman of color and how representation in this space goes way deeper than just optics. About Anahita: Anahita is a psychologist, former group practice owner, and mom of three. She built and scaled her group practice to $2 million in three years before selling it. She now coaches other therapists to scale a group practice to increase profit while decreasing their workload. She believes wholeheartedly that therapists deserve to make a shit ton of money, because let's be real, who better to be making a lot of money than therapists, without feeling bad about it or without feeling like they have to work 60 hour weeks in order to deserve it. In her free time, she loves to lift weights, go outside, and spend time with her family. Connect with Anahita:

| HHW Therapists 35 - The Problem With Scaling for the Sake of Scaling | 12 juin 2026 | 00:43:42 | |
In this episode, Amanda sits down with Steph Orosco to talk about what it really means to build a business that supports both your goals and your well-being. Together, they explore why scaling for the sake of scaling can leave therapists feeling disconnected from the very businesses they worked so hard to create, and how getting clear on what you actually want is often the first step toward sustainable growth. Steph shares insights on CEO mindset, the importance of support and delegation, and the perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies that often keep therapists stuck doing everything themselves. They also discuss why alignment matters just as much as strategy, and how creating success on your own terms can completely change your experience of running a business. Connect with Steph:

| HHW Therapists 36 - Big Tech in Mental Health: The Honest Pros and Cons | 12 juin 2026 | 00:36:34 | |
In this episode, Amanda tackles one of the most divisive topics in private practice: venture-backed mental health platforms like BetterHelp, Talkspace, Headway, Alma, and Grow Therapy. Pushing back on the all-or-nothing takes, she breaks down the legitimate criticisms (low pay rates, shifting reimbursement structures, and competitive pressure on private pay practices) while being honest about her own privilege in building a premium fee practice. Amanda shares her experience credentialing with Alma early on, why it served a strategic purpose, and how she's navigating her sponsorship relationship with them transparently amid recent Aetna reimbursement changes. She closes with a call for therapists to stop demonizing each other's choices and remember that burnout and inaccessible care are systemic issues bigger than any one company. Connect with Amanda:

| HHW Therapists 26 - What Therapists are Really Afraid of When Offering Intensives | 24 avr. 2026 | 00:35:52 | |
In this episode, Amanda dives into one of the biggest fears therapists have about offering therapy intensives: what if clients invest a significant amount of money and nothing changes? She explores the guilt, pressure, and responsibility therapists often carry to "guarantee" outcomes, and how these beliefs are shaped by conditioning around money, ethics, and what it means to be a "good" therapist. Amanda breaks down why this expectation is unrealistic, how it differs from how we view weekly therapy, and the ways therapists unintentionally take on responsibility that isn't theirs to carry. She shares a powerful reframe around client responsibility, informed consent, and sustainable care, helping therapists release perfectionism, trust their clinical skills, and approach intensives with more confidence and clarity.

In this episode, Amanda challenges the belief that more certifications are the key to becoming a better and more successful therapist. She breaks down why burnout, slow client progress, and feeling stuck are often not a knowledge problem, but a time and structure problem, especially within the traditional 50 minute session model. Amanda explores how limited time impacts depth, presence, and the therapeutic relationship, and why that relationship, not additional modalities, is the biggest driver of client outcomes.
