Episode #732: How To Market When The World Is On Fire
Saturday, February 14, 2026 • Duration 12:08
In today's Ask Abundance, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about whether it's ethical to market your therapy practice when the world feels like it's constantly on fire. Together, we unpack why this tension is so common, what marketing actually means in moments of collective crisis, and how to show up for potential clients without feeling tone-deaf or exploitative. We also walk through different ways to think about visibility, how to stay aligned with your values, and why letting people know you're available is an essential act of service. If you're holding back on marketing because it feels selfish or wrong, this conversation will help you move forward without guilt or second-guessing. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.
