Here's my annual last-year-in-review episode where YOU get to peek inside my businesses' metrics from 2024 and learn from my mistakes (as usual!) You'll learn what I'm NOT doing anymore this year, why reviewing your profit-loss statement is critical, how $60,000+ in your business bank account may NOT mean you were highly profitable, and so much more!

It's my 48th birthday today! So I want to give you a present as a thank you for being a listener of the podcast or a member of the TGO Community. I'm giving away a free copy of my book: Therapy in the Great Outdoors- A Start-Up Guide to Nature-Based Pediatric Practice with 44 Kid-Tested Activities. I'll throw some Therapy in the Great Outdoors stickers in there, too!

In this episode, you'll learn strategies for effectively managing and leading a team in your nature-based business. Occupational therapist Shannon Rolph from Guelph, Ontario, Canada joined me for a live business coaching call. She is the owner of Shannon Rolph OT, and runs Kids in the Woods, a nature-based branch of her business. She has hired her first employees and had questions around how to lead well while growing her business.

In this episode, Devin Hatch, OTR/L, CSRS, joins me for a live business coaching call. Devin is the co-owner of 509 Therapy Hub in Spokane, Washington.

Devin and I discuss ways to make your website CLEAR for your potential customers so they know the value you can offer to them in your services, strategies for gathering more clients to form nature-based therapy groups, tips for generating ideas for a lead magnet to grow your email list, and so much more!

This episode could save you thousands of dollars. Listen in to hear 10 mistakes that stop your nature-based business from making meaningful income and my stories about making them.

In this episode, I share the answers to frequently asked questions about starting a nature-based pediatric practice.

You’ll learn how I started Outdoor Kids OT (OKOT), how the ConTiGO (Connection & Transformation in the Great Outdoors) Approach was developed, the start-up logistics of a nature-based pediatric practice the structure of our nature-based OT groups at OKOT, and the systems needed for nature-based therapy.

This is the 2023 Year-in-Review episode where I take you behind-the-scenes of my nature-based pediatric practice, Outdoor Kids OT. In this episode, you’ll get a feel for what it takes to hit 370k+ in revenue in your nature-based therapy practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn 4 activities to do with kids outdoors in nature-based therapy sessions during the fall season, plus hear some of my reflections on WHY these activities are engaging for children. Thank you to Jenna Miller, Jillian Blount, & Kim DeLaura for sharing your ideas!

Today’s episode is a bit different from what you’re used to hearing from me, but I thought this was a great time to give you my life and business updates.

I have a trip and a speaking engagement to share with you, plus updates on my Business Hive and ConTiGO courses, Therapy in the Great Outdoors community (we’re almost at 400 members, come join us!), and The Therapy in the Great Outdoors Foundation.

Lastly, I want to remind you all (and in turn, remind myself) to be gentle with yourself and give yourself grace. You can’t do everything all the time, you can only do the best you can.

Today’s episode is a little bit different! I’m writing a book on nature-based pediatric therapy and after reviewing the outline, I realized I’d love to know what YOU would like to see in this book. What are the things that would help you the most if you’re interested in this topic or in running a nature-based practice?

In the episode, I share a little history on how and why I’m writing this book, but I mainly want some feedback from you. I’ll be focusing on my ConTiGO approach and my ECO-Therapy model (from my dissertation research). The intended audience will be occupational, physical, and speech therapists, and also mental health counselors and social workers.
