The Story Behind ScaleSmart and What You Can Expect From This Podcast

Starting a business as a clinician or private practice owner can feel like you are carrying ten different roles at once. You are showing up for clients, managing a family or personal life, trying to understand marketing, and wondering how long you can keep trading time for money without burning out. That feeling is exactly why the ScaleSmart Podcast exists.

This podcast was created as a space where business feels simpler, clearer, and more doable. It is not about hype or hustle. It is about honest conversations, practical tools, and real stories that help you move forward with more confidence and less overwhelm.

Why I Started the ScaleSmart Podcast

I have worn a lot of hats over the years. You might know me as the speech therapy website design girl, or from ScaleSmart Academy, where I teach clinicians how to create passive income streams. At the core of all of that work, I am a business coach who cares deeply about personal growth, mindset, and real conversations.

I believe so strongly in going into business for yourself. I also know how easy it is to step into entrepreneurship without fully knowing what you are getting into. Many clinicians start businesses with big hearts and strong skills, then find themselves lost, overwhelmed, or capped by time and energy. The ScaleSmart Podcast was created to be a steady place you can come back to when you need clarity, encouragement, or a reminder that you are not alone in this.

Whether you already own a private practice, are thinking about starting one, or are curious about courses, digital products, or new income streams, this podcast is here for you. Much of what we talk about applies not just to business, but to navigating daily life as a human who wants more freedom and fulfillment.

What We Talk About Here

The heart of the ScaleSmart Podcast is mindset, marketing, and business. These areas are deeply connected. You can have the best strategies in the world, but if your mindset is holding you back, it will always feel harder than it needs to be.

Marketing, in particular, asks us to be visible, to take risks, and to put ourselves out there. That is why mindset work matters so much. Inside this podcast, you will hear conversations that help you build confidence, challenge old patterns, and take action even when fear shows up.

You will also hear from guests I truly admire. These are people who have walked the walk. They have started practices, hit roadblocks, made mistakes, and figured things out along the way. The goal is for you to walk away with insights you can actually use, not theory or advice that sounds good but does not translate to real life.

Collaboration Over Competition

One of the strongest values behind this podcast and everything we do at Cued Creative is collaboration over competition. We believe growth happens faster and feels better when it is rooted in community.

Every guest who joins me on the podcast believes in sharing knowledge, supporting others, and building relationships. My hope is that listening to these conversations inspires you to build your own community and reminds you that there is room for all of us.

This Podcast Is Part of My Own Journey

For years, I stayed hidden in my business. I ran things behind the scenes and avoided being visible. As I worked through my own personal growth, I realized that being of service mattered more than my insecurities. Starting this podcast is part of that commitment.

Showing up publicly opens the door to judgment and criticism, but it also opens the door to impact. One idea that stuck with me deeply is the ripple effect we create. Every client you serve, every business you grow, and every person you support touches far more lives than you may ever see. The world needs people who are willing to share what they know and lift others up.

What ScaleSmart Really Means

The name ScaleSmart came from noticing one of the biggest challenges clinicians face. Time and energy are finite. When you trade time for money, growth eventually hits a ceiling.

Scaling, on the other hand, creates options. It allows you to leverage your skills in smarter ways so your business supports your life instead of running it. That idea is the foundation of ScaleSmart Academy, the ScaleSmart Scoop newsletter, and now this podcast. Scaling smart is not about doing more. It is about doing things differently and intentionally.

How You Can Be Part of the Show

This podcast is here to serve you. On the podcast page, you can submit questions you want answered on future episodes. You can also send questions through Instagram or email. If I do not know the answer, I will find someone who does.

If you have an inspiring story to share as a clinician, private practice owner, or entrepreneur, you can also apply to be a guest. My goal is to bring you conversations that help you feel more supported, more empowered, and more at ease as you grow.

Thank you for being here and for being part of the ScaleSmart community. I cannot wait to grow alongside you.
