| HHW Therapists 1 - Welcome to Happy, Healthy, & Wealthy Therapists! | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:09:12 | |
Welcome to Happy, Healthy, & Wealthy Therapists! I'm Dr. Amanda Buduris—a licensed psychologist, trauma therapist, and business coach for therapists—and in this trailer episode, I'm breaking down what these three words actually mean inside our profession. I talk about why so many therapists only feel truly happy for a sliver of their week, how we preach self-care yet struggle to live it, and why expanding your definition of wealth is one of the most trauma-informed steps you can take for yourself and your clients. If you're tired of burnout being treated like a job requirement… If you want your practice to support your life instead of consuming it… If you're ready to redefine what's possible for therapists—financially, emotionally, and professionally—then you're in exactly the right place. This podcast is where I'll share the mindset shifts, marketing strategies, and honest conversations that helped me build a practice (and business) that finally feels sustainable, profitable, and aligned. I'm so glad you're here. Let's build a life where you get to be happy, healthy, and wealthy—without guilt and without apology. Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode! | |||

| HHW Therapists 26 - What Therapists are Really Afraid of When Offering Intensives | 24 Apr 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.

| HHW Therapists 23 - The "Good Therapist" Lie That's Keeping You Underpaid | 10 Apr 2026 | 00:34:16 | |
In this episode, Amanda unpacks the real reasons therapists struggle with pricing and charging premium fees, and why it is often about much more than just picking a number. She explores the fear of "hurting people" by charging more, the conditioning that tells therapists they should not care about money, and how systemic and cultural factors like the patriarchy shape these beliefs. Amanda also breaks down why higher fees can actually lead to better client commitment and outcomes, the hidden burnout that comes from undercharging, and the difference between a pricing problem and a volume problem. She shares a powerful reframe around sustainability, ethics, and value, helping therapists rethink what it actually means to do good work while building a financially supportive practice.

| HHW Therapists 22 - Why More Trainings Won't Fix Burnout or Client Outcomes | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:28:55 | |
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. She also shares a powerful reframe that can help therapists stop chasing more training and start creating a more sustainable and effective way of working.
