| 234. Building an International Therapy Practice with Lucy Orton | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:36:21 | |
Time zones, licensure rules, and figuring out whether the work you trained for is still the work you want to do, building an international therapy practice comes with challenges that don't show up in the highlight reel. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I'm replaying one of our most popular conversations while I take a recording break to travel through Switzerland and Italy. I sit down with Lucy Orton, a therapist and corporate coach based in Southeast Asia who sees clients across the UK and the US. She walks me through how she built a global practice around her family's life, how her advertising and marketing background opened an unexpected door into corporate coaching, and why she's shifting toward couples intensives instead of a packed weekly caseload.

| 233. How to Transform Your Money Mindset to Thrive as a Traveling Therapist with Scarlett Stanhope | 02 Sep 2026 | 00:38:17 | |
You can have the license, the laptop, and a full client list, and still stay exactly where you are, because learning to transform your money mindset is the piece most traveling therapists skip until it's absolutely unavoidable. This one's a replay of one of our most-requested episodes, and it earns that spot for a reason. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Scarlett Stanhope, known as the Biz Hippie, to talk about why money, not licensure or tech setup, is usually the real reason people never book the flight. We get into the core beliefs that quietly run the show long before you ever open a bank statement, the childhood money messaging most people never think to question, and the very uncomfortable topic of charging what you're actually worth. Transforming your money mindset starts here, and if you've been waiting for the money to feel more stable before you make a move, Scarlett is going to poke at that belief a little.

| 232. The Financial Blind Spots Costing Your Practice Money with Robert Freels | 26 Aug 2026 | 00:24:06 | |
Most therapists can rattle off every diagnostic code without blinking, but ask about their break-even number and things get quiet. Those are exactly the financial blind spots we're unpacking in this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast. I sit down with Rob Freels, founder of FreeRivers CFO Advisory, who spent 25 years across banking, auditing, and 16 years as a CFO before turning his attention to healthcare and mental health practice owners. Rob breaks down where money actually disappears before it ever hits your bank account, why those losses hit harder the bigger your practice gets, and the one number he says matters more than revenue or profit. If you've ever felt like your finances are a mystery you don't have time to solve, this conversation gives you a place to start. PLEASE NOTE: In the episode, Rob mentions that contribution margin is revenue minus fixed costs, but he actually meant revenue minus variable costs. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 231. How to Financially Prepare for Your Next Hire with Carla Titus | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:31:38 | |
Before you post that job listing, you need a plan to financially prepare for your next hire, and that's exactly what today's guest walks us through. Carla Titus is a CFO who works with therapy practices of all sizes, and she breaks down why so many owners jump into hiring before they've actually looked at the numbers. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, Carla and I dig into what it actually costs to bring on a new clinician, from the ramp-up period to tracking performance once they're on your team. If you've ever hired someone and then panicked three months later wondering where the money went, this one is for you. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 230. What Therapists Need to Know About Mandated Reporting with Michelle Burlin | 12 Aug 2026 | 00:31:17 | |
Figuring out which state's rules apply to your client can feel like a moving target, especially once you're crossing state lines. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Burlin, a therapist and attorney who spent months combing through every state and territory's reporting laws so the rest of us don't have to. She's been practicing for 26 years, mainly in the forensic realm, licensed in Oregon and Alaska. Along the way she went to law school and now runs a forensic private practice where she does risk assessments, expert witness work, and trainings for clinicians. She breaks down what mandated reporting actually requires state by state, what changes when you're doing telehealth across state lines, and why she says to always err on the side of caution.

| 229. Building a Life You Don't Need a Vacation From with Jennie Blackwood | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:30:09 | |
If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to start building a life you don't need a vacation from, this episode is going to give you the real, unfiltered version. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Jennie Blackwood, who went from barely covering her bills in a corporate marketing job to running a seven-figure business built on multiple income streams. Jennie walks us through the moment that changed everything, the leap she took when her family's income disappeared almost overnight, and how she's structured her business so it actually supports the life she wants instead of running her into the ground. We also get into the mindset work it took to keep going when things got hard, and what building a life you don't need a vacation from really looks like day to day. In This Episode, I Cover…

| 228. Build a Therapist Website Using AI in 2026 for $36 in Under Two Hours | 29 Jul 2026 | 00:20:22 | |
You can build a therapist website using AI now, and it does not have to take nine months or cost five thousand dollars like mine did. I spent years bouncing from Weebly to Brighter Vision to a developer who farmed my project out and disappeared, and honestly, I regret most of that money and time. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I'm walking through the exact process I used to build aifortherapists.com for about $36 in under two hours, using Claude to plan the site and Manus to actually build it. I'm also opening up my live AI website workshop on August 4th, 5th, and 6th, where we build a site from scratch together, plus a few lessons I learned the hard way about domains, contact forms, and email that you'll want before you start.

| 227. The Realities of Being a Digital Nomad Therapist with Sonia Jaeger | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:37:13 | |
Being a digital nomad therapist looks like freedom from the outside: laptop open somewhere new, sessions running from a different country every few months. But the reality involves a lot more paperwork than postcards. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Sonia Jaeger, who has been running her practice from all over the world for over a decade. We get into what it actually takes to work internationally as a therapist, from navigating shifting regulations across Germany and France to building the kind of support system that keeps you from doing it all alone.

| 226. Why PTO Doesn't Fix Burnout (And What Does) with ShannonElaine John | 15 Jul 2026 | 00:24:41 | |
If you've ever come back from a vacation still running on empty, you already understand why PTO doesn't fix burnout on its own. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with ShannonElaine John, a licensed therapist and EMDR specialist who spent over a decade in the travel industry before founding Travel To Retreat, a travel advisory built specifically for burned-out healthcare and service professionals. ShannonElaine unpacks the guilt and savior complex that keep so many of us from actually stepping away, why the balance between rest and fun determines whether time off actually works, and how that same thinking is showing up in her work with ancestral travel and retreat planning for other practitioners.

| 225. My Experience Using a Travel Agent for the First Time with Sally Riggs | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:38:16 | |
Planning a trip can go from exciting to overwhelming fast, and that's the spot I was in when I finally brought in a travel agent instead of doing it all myself. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Sally Riggs, a fellow therapist who works as a travel agent, to talk about what changed once I handed the planning over to her. We get into the hotel mixup that almost put me in the wrong place entirely, how she handled my CPAP machine for my first trip traveling with one, and the perks that showed up on my bill without me asking for them. I also ask her about travel insurance, refundable rates, and what happens when your plans change at the last minute. By the end of this one, you'll understand why I'm never booking a trip on my own again. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 224. Leaving the Platforms for Out-of-Network Private Practice with Karen Ann Schmid | 01 Jul 2026 | 00:39:23 | |
Getting recruited by a platform, telling them flat out that you live overseas, and then getting cut off anyway is a special kind of frustrating, and it's a big part of why an out-of-network private practice starts to look like the smarter move. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Karen Ann Schmid, who came out of retirement at 70 and has been piecing all of this together from a 32-acre farm in New Zealand. Karen has been through it. A handful of platforms, a cease-and-desist, and a lot of late nights trying to keep seeing her clients while living abroad. We talk about what actually shifted for her once she stopped trying to credential with insurance panels, and what she's building in its place. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 223. What a Late Autism Diagnosis Taught Her About Therapy with Marina Livis | 24 Jun 2026 | 00:35:15 | |
A late autism diagnosis can reframe everything you thought you knew about why your work, your relationships, and even your own field have felt harder than they should. For Marina Livis, that reframe arrived after years of being told she was too literal, too this, too that, with no one stopping to ask why. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Marina to talk about what came after she was finally diagnosed, the licensing hurdles she refused to let stop her, and how all of it shaped the niche she serves now. We also get into the insurance mess so many traveling therapists are sorting through right now, and why she is rethinking how she wants to run her practice. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 222. Tax Strategies That Turn Profit Into Real Cash with Emily Bowie | 17 Jun 2026 | 00:33:05 | |
If you have ever looked at your bank account and wondered where all your money actually went, the right tax strategies might be exactly what you have been missing. Most of us started a private practice because we love the work, not because we wanted to become experts in cash flow, pricing, and taxes. So it makes sense that this is the stuff that trips us up. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Emily Bowie, a CPA and cash flow strategist with Thorne Advisors, to talk about why so many therapists end up profitable but broke. Emily has a real gift for making the money side feel doable instead of overwhelming, and she shares the kind of tax strategies that can genuinely change what you take home. If you have ever felt a little unsure about your own numbers, this one is worth a listen. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 221. The Reality of Traveling While Getting Licensure Hours with Willow Renée | 10 Jun 2026 | 00:35:05 | |
If you're pre-licensed, you've probably been told that traveling while getting licensure hours is something you can't do. Stay put, finish your hours, then go live the life you actually want. Willow Renée decided she wasn't willing to do it that way. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Willow to talk about what it really takes to keep traveling while getting licensure hours before you're fully licensed. She's hit some real roadblocks along the way, and she's refreshingly honest about all of it. If you've ever felt like you have to wait for permission to start building the life you want, Willow's story is a good reminder that you don't. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 220. How Sailing Wellness Retreats Became Her Next Chapter with Cheryl Greathouse | 03 Jun 2026 | 00:35:28 | |
A lot of therapists believe they need their full license, years behind them, and a perfect plan before they can build a business around something like sailing wellness retreats. Cheryl Greathouse is proof that the timeline can look completely different. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl, a counselor and newly minted boat captain who put her practice on hold for four and a half years, sailed across the Pacific, and came home to start over as a pre-licensed intern while leading women's wellness retreats on a yacht in Greece. We get into how she built a life and a model that fits her instead of the other way around, and why being pre-licensed has not slowed her down one bit. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 219. Work Exchange Travel with Kids as a Remote Therapist with Shannel Busuioc | 27 May 2026 | 00:37:27 | |
Work exchange is one of those ideas that sounds great in theory but feels impossible once you add kids, a therapy caseload, and two suitcases into the equation. Shannel Busuioc figured out how to make it work anyway. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Shannel, a Marriage and Family Therapist who left San Francisco in 2023 with her husband and two young kids to build a remote life abroad. She has spent the past three years moving her family through farms in Oregon, coastal towns in Mexico, forest schools in Portugal, and now the mountains of San Miguel de Allende. Work exchange has been one of the tools that made it sustainable, and she breaks down exactly how she approached it with a family in tow. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 218. Building a Life You Love with Multiple Income Streams with Lisa Bodenstein | 20 May 2026 | 00:47:33 | |
Building multiple income streams as a traveling therapist isn't just a financial strategy; it's how some clinicians make the whole lifestyle actually work. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Bodenstein, a therapist, coach, and clinical supervisor who has been doing this since 2012, long before online therapy was even a thing. Based in Italy, originally from South Africa, trained in the UK, she has figured out how to keep practicing across borders while building a life that genuinely fits her. Lisa shares how she navigated international licensing across three countries, why having multiple income streams took the financial pressure off her client work, and what it looks like to build offerings that come from real lived experience. From a supervision community to an ADHD book in progress to a creative retreat space in rural Italy, she's a great example of what's possible when you stop waiting for permission to do things differently.

But for Ana Godoy, it turned out to be one of the most humbling, eye-opening experiences of her career. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Ana, a bilingual social worker and licensed clinician based in Southern California, to talk about what led her to take a contract role inside a California state prison, what the work actually looked like day to day, and how that leap eventually opened doors she never expected.

| 215. Stop Managing Burnout and Actually Heal It with Trisha Wolfe | 29 Apr 2026 | 00:34:00 | |
Burnout doesn't always look like falling apart. For a lot of therapists, it looks like keeping up, staying on top of it, and pushing through until there's nothing left. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Trisha Wolfe, a trauma therapist, researcher, and educator who spent years studying burnout in therapists while living it herself. Trisha shares what finally shifted for her, and it wasn't adding more wellness habits to her list. It was learning to observe herself and understanding why the survival strategies that made her a great therapist were also the ones keeping her stuck. And she did all of this while building a life in Europe with one suitcase and no return ticket. In This Episode, We Explore…

| 214. What Becoming a Travel Agent Actually Looks Like with Lindsay Dollinger | 22 Apr 2026 | 00:29:41 | |
Becoming a travel agent sounds appealing, especially when you're burned out and looking for something that actually fits your life. But most people don't know what it really involves, how much it costs to get started, what you can realistically earn, or whether you can do it alongside everything else you're already managing. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lindsay Dollinger, travel agency owner and host of the Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust podcast, to get into all of it. Lindsay started as a travel agent in 2019 while still teaching high school Spanish full-time, and she now runs her own agency with agents working under her. She breaks down exactly what the path looks like, what it costs, and why it might be more doable than you think. In This Episode, We Explore…

Creating a truly affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community starts before a client ever walks through your door. Most therapists have good intentions, but good intentions are not the same as knowing what to actually do. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Eric Sullivan, a proud queer therapist and founder of Proud Practice, who spent a year traveling the globe and came home with a renewed sense of purpose. From Argentina to Scandinavia to Southeast Asia, Eric experienced firsthand how differently the queer community is treated around the world, and it deepened his commitment to helping therapy practices become fully LGBTQ+ inclusive from the inside out.

If you've ever wondered whether that offhand comment landed the right way, or held back because it felt too risky, this episode is going to change how you think about it. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Glenn Maloney, psychotherapist and author of Finding the Humor in Psychotherapy: A Primer on the Clinical Art of Joking with Your Clients. Glenn has presented on this topic everywhere from the Minnesota Psychological Association to the International Federation of Social Workers in Oslo, Norway, and he brings a genuinely fresh perspective on how humor fits into serious clinical work.
