(Dr. Matt Cunliffe, 00:11:09) "If I help you be better at managing your finances, you're going to show up better for your clients.

(Andrea Rotondo, 00:20:58) "Having some oversight on that and knowing exactly what is going in and going out at any given time is really important. And I I always surprise myself that when I look into my accounts and I find something, I'm like, what is that reoccurring payment that's been going out for, like, the past year?"

Wendy is excited to have her occupational psychology colleagues on the show, as they have been focusing on clinical and counseling psychologists in previous episodes.

Rebecca also reflects on her career path, freelancing for big companies and eventually finding her role as a consultant in leadership development and training at Mind Gym. She emphasises the importance of individuals taking ownership of their careers and making choices to break free from the control of work. Rebecca's book, "Let's Love to Work," explores this idea.

| S1E8 Beyond The Talk- Integrating Movement and Mindfulness into Psychology Practices. | 16 Jun 2023 | 00:56:00 | |
In this transformative episode of Inspiring Psychologists: Breaking the Mould of Private Practic, Wendy Kendall engages in a conversation with psychologists Dr. Cat Baverstock, Dr. Kirsty Kennedy, and Dr. Kirstie Fleetwood Mead. Together, they shed light on the significance of integrating movement and mindfulness into psychology practices, particularly within private practice settings. Our guests emphasise the importance of embracing the body and breath in therapy, especially when working with trauma and childhood memories. They explore the concept of embodied relational therapy, highlighting its connection to Gestalt therapy and stressing the need to avoid separating the body and mind in therapeutic processes. By incorporating the body into the therapeutic journey, therapists can achieve outcomes that are more holistic. The discussion delves into the value of reconnecting with our bodies and intuition. Wendy Kendall and the participants highlight the need to prioritise our embodied sense of self and challenging external notions of success. They acknowledge the resistance and internalised beliefs that may hinder individuals from embracing this approach while encouraging the act of slowing down, connecting with oneself, and making choices based on personal values and intuition. The conversation underscores the body's inherent power as a tool for self-regulation, emphasising that balance doesn't rely on external consumption. By embracing our bodies, we cultivate a deeper connection with nature and move away from artificial environments. The participants reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, where many rediscovered nature and found solace in their local communities. Reconnecting with our natural selves brings joy but also challenges. Breaking free from societal stereotypes and resistance requires courage and determination. The discussion addresses misconceptions around body-focused practices and emphasises the importance of education and awareness. This episode emphasises the value of integrating movement and mindfulness in psychology practices. By embracing the body-mind connection, therapists can foster holistic healing, personal growth, and meaningful connections with oneself and the world.

| S1E7 A Simple Marketing Rhythm: The Essential Marketing Strategy for Psychologists and Therapists | 12 Jun 2023 | 00:46:08 | |
Welcome to Episode 7 of the Inspiring Psychologists Podcast, where the focus is on breaking the mold of private practice. In this episode, host Wendy Kendall, a psychologist and private practice coach, delves into the thorny issue of marketing. While there is a plethora of content available on marketing, Wendy highlights the need to strike a balance between marketing and the various roles psychologists play in their practices. Wendy introduces the concept of creating a simple marketing rhythm—a stripped-down version of marketing that fosters a sense of safety, connection, and visibility. She emphasises the importance of marketing as psychologists and therapists, not only to help as many people as possible but also to communicate our unique perspectives and make a positive impact. The episode discusses how traditional marketing approaches may not align with the transformational relationships that psychologists strive to build with their clients. Wendy challenges negative messages around visibility and addresses the vulnerability associated with marketing and being visible online. She highlights the need for psychologists to be present in the online space and contribute their informed perspectives. Drawing from the occupational psychologist perspective, Wendy acknowledges the demanding nature of private practice and the need to switch between various roles throughout the day. Visibility and marketing can feel challenging, given the vulnerability involved and the uncontrolled nature of the online world. However, Wendy proposes a shift in mindset, viewing marketing as an extension of psychologists' existing skills in connecting, sharing, and having conversations. The episode concludes with Wendy introducing the three core elements of effective connection-based marketing: conversations, sharing content, and connecting with others. She offers a carousel of prompts to guide psychologists in creating engaging content for social media and emphasizes the importance of inviting people to connect as a natural next step in building relationships. Overall, this episode encourages psychologists to embrace a simplified marketing rhythm that aligns with their values and fosters authentic connections in the online space. By leveraging their existing skills and focusing on conversations, sharing, and connecting, psychologists can enhance their visibility and make a positive impact on a larger scale.

| S2 Episode 10 - Healing Our Connection with Community and Escaping the Grind in Private Practice | 22 May 2024 | 01:12:00 | |
In this episode, host Wendy Kendall speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Gemma Parker and counselling psychologist Dr. Amy Woolston about how they have developed community-oriented private practices. They discuss the importance of community connection for wellbeing, dealing with challenges like moral injury and burnout from working in large healthcare systems, and finding alternative success measures beyond income that align with their values.
Key Discussion Points: - The limitations of traditional clinical psychology approaches and desire for more community connection - Setting up community interest companies (CICs) as social enterprises to bridge private practice with meeting community needs - How community psychology enables more open, equitable, and mutually beneficial relationships - Slow and organic evolution guided by community input rather than top-down structures - Redefining concepts of leadership, boundaries, integration of personal and professional identity - Addressing moral injury and other wounds from restrictive systems through freedom to work to own values - Measuring success via quality relationships, flexibility, and ability to nurture ourselves and others rather than ever-increasing income

Key Quotes: "Rather than thinking about being out there on social media, on the web on the interwebs, on the Internet, as promotion, as, influencing in a in some kind of negative way. [00:12:46] How about it being a a different space for connection and a place where actually we can potentially resource peoples we can resource people and we can and we can provide if we show up in certain ways, we can provide safety for people still." (Wendy Kendall, 00:12:46) "It's building a muscle. Right? It's just like going to the gym. [00:44:21] The first time you try to do a deadlift, it's not gonna be cute. It's not gonna be pretty. You're not gonna lift that much off the ground. But every time you do it [you get better.] And I know this is a cliche, but it's a cliche for a reason. It's very true. [00:44:33]" (Tania Bhattacharyya on building confidence, 00:44:21) "Because marketing is mission. You know, I think sometimes people have [a] misconception that marketing is not just about having a website. [00:17:45] It's not just about going to a conference. It's not just about sharing online. It really is an extension of your mission because just like you said, if you are not showing up and sharing about the work that you're doing, there's a whole audience of people who have been looking for you. They haven't even known that they're looking for you and the unique services you provide, but they miss out. Right?" (Tania Bhattacharyya, 00:17:45) | |||
