What if the "messy middle" isn't proof you're failing… but proof you're growing?

In this deeply honest episode, Tiffany sits down with Danielle Robbins, an LMHC in New York, who went from opening a private practice with one client at a $200 fee to charging $255/session, nearly full, and preparing to leave group practice for good.

But this is not a shiny overnight success story.

This is the story of fear. Shame. Doubt. Identity shifts. October–November panic spirals. Networking while terrified. Feeling like "everyone else can do it but me." And continuing anyway.

Danielle shares what it actually looked like to build a Life First Fee practice while navigating deep internal conflict, grief around leaving scarcity behind, and the emotional reality of stepping into more—especially as a Black woman therapist navigating messages about service, struggle, and success.

If you've ever thought:

"Maybe this works for other therapists, but not me…"

This episode is for you.

Because Danielle thought the exact same thing.

And now? They're here telling you why you can do it too.
