Permission to Take a Break

Do you worry that potential clients will forget about you if you stop posting on social media?

Summer holidays can often bring an added layer of pressure. Should you schedule posts while you're away? Is it OK to disappear for a couple of weeks? And do therapists really need to post everyday?

In this episode, I explore what a healthy relationship with social media could look like, why consistency matters more than frequency, and why taking time to rest may actually be one of the best things you can do for yourself and your private practice.

I also share some August awareness days that could inspire your social media content for the month.
