In this special episode, Mia sits down with Taylor, a paediatric speech pathologist and Freedom Therapist Club member, who recently left her 9-to-5 to build a business that feels fully aligned and fulfilling. Within just two months, Taylor launched Bloom Together Therapy, a freedom-based speech therapy practice in remote Western Australia that has given her back her energy, time AND LOVE for life and work. This conversation dives into Taylor’s incredible shift from burnout to fulfillment, her tips for setting boundaries, and her advice for anyone dreaming of a practice that supports them.

Listen as Taylor shares the highs and challenges of her journey, the transformational mindset shifts, and the powerful changes she’s made to create a sustainable, joyful, and impactful practice.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Taylor navigated leaving a supportive 9-to-5 in search of true freedom
• The steps she took to launch a profitable, purpose-driven practice in just two months that gives her MORE time, location AND financial freedom

In this episode, we’re going to reflect on choosing community over competition as a therapist and business owner. We get raw and I share some of the challenges that I have faced in the space around this- and some of the incredible ways community & connection has transformed my journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Mindset Shift: Choosing community over competition - and how this mindsets shift can potentially transform your entire business mindset from scarcity to abundance.
• Benefits of Community: I speak to some of the benefits of community- some which we may already know- and some which also may creep up and surprise us. This is why community is such a core part of the Freedom Therapist Club.
• Honest, Open Sharing: Why I believe SO MUCH in the importance of sharing openly and transparently- and the growth that can come from this.
• Envy vs Inspiration: We explore how envy can be a guide or projection to our own aspirations. If it’s available to someone else, it’s possible for us, too.

In a field where self-trust and expansive thinking can sometimes feel challenging, surrounding yourself with others who believe in your vision can be one of the biggest game changers for yourself and your business as you grow, expand and transform.

I hope you LOVE today’s episode.

In this week’s episode, I share a personal story from a recent surf trip gone sideways and the powerful insights it gave me about creating a freedom-based business model. From stitches in a remote clinic to the realisation that my business was still running without me, I was reminded of why financial freedom and diversified revenue streams are essential for a sustainable therapy business.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why creating a business model with diversified revenue streams supports you even when life takes unexpected turns.
• How a freedom-based strategy can provide financial security, location flexibility, and a more sustainable way to serve clients.
• The benefits of building a business with supportive systems and automations that don’t rely on you being “on” 24/7.
• A look into why so many therapists hesitate when it comes to financial security, and how to move past fears of investing in your dream.
• How having the right business model can give you the space, creativity, and freedom you’ve always wanted—now, not decades from now.

Reflections….

What would financial freedom look like for you, and how would it change your day-to-day life?
