The Flourishing Therapreneur© is podcast + platform that equips therapists to thrive in business, expand their reach + create flourishing and meaningful lives - both personally and professionally. I’m your host, Claire Blakey, I am licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice in California. I believe in being a mutipassionate therapist - you can have a thriving financially impactful business, be a leader in the community and also a business entrepreneur. You don’t have to choose and your impact as a clinician can go beyond the therapy room. I believe you can be a therapist and an entrepreneur -- a therapreneur. And I believe that every therapist deserves the tools, community and resources to build thriving businesses and live flourishing lives. I pair my passion and previous career in PR, marketing and blogging with my education and experience as a clinician to equip therapists like you, who are multi-passionate and wanting to pursue additional opportunities to grow your skillset and expand your reach. Tune in every Tuesday for a weekly episode with guest speakers. Join our community and countless guests -- clinicians, lawyers, CPA’s, business mentors, successful therapists, CEO’s and creatives as we dive deeper into the philosophy of The Flourishing Therapreneur©.

On today's episode of The Flourishing Therapreneur™ we are joined by Jenn Kennedy, LMFT, CSAT, Certified Sex Therapist and soon to be PhD.
During this episode we cover:
- Choosing clinical sites and jobs that align with your goals to build a foundation for private practice
- Creating and cultivating a mindset that translates lived experiences into private practice business skills
- How to grow a successful cash pay private practice
- Growing in confidence as a clinician and the importance of niching and owning and charging your worth
- The evolution of expanding your private practice and taking on associates
- Being a multi-passionate therapist and furthering your education and credentials
- An honest and open dialogue of financial transparency, growing in expanding your private practice and creating an income and business you are proud of
This is a special episode for me as Jenn has been an integral part of my LMFT journey. She spoke at my graduation ceremony and Jenn was always a few years and steps ahead of me in the licensing process. Jenn has always been someone I admired and would gain advice from in private practice. Five years ago she recruited me to join the local board for therapists where she previously served as President. This episode feels a bit full circle as I step into my Presidency this January and continue on the legacy she created. Jenn is also a trusted colleague, a dear friend and we regularly spin together on Monday's to talk through our work weeks and inspire each other in entrepreneurial endeavors. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did and that you learn something new and invigorating to apply to your private practice.
