In this episode, I’m dismantling the biggest myth therapists believe about creating online programs — that building one will just add more hustle and burnout to your already overwhelming life.

The online space keeps changing the rules the second you’ve figured them out. New algorithms, platform updates, economic uncertainty, and the constant pressure to keep up while holding space for clients—it’s overwhelming, and it’s real.

You launched your program. Finally getting visible. Then it happens—colleagues start questioning your marketing, your methods, your motives. That knot in your stomach when you see posts criticising “aggressive marketing tactics” in professional groups? Wondering if they’re talking about YOU? Here’s what nobody tells you: when you do things differently, people don’t react well. Not…

The digital course world just got turned upside down. While course creators panic about AI making their businesses obsolete, therapists have a massive opportunity—if they act fast.
