In today's episode, I answer your questions related to having a side hustle as a therapist.

We cover a wide range of topics such as what a side hustle is, why someone might want to have a side hustle, examples of side hustles for therapists, and tips for success if you'd like to earn a little extra income on the side of your primary source of income.

And as always, you'll hear my own anecdotes sprinkled throughout as well.

Teaching used to be my full-time job. I went back to school to become a therapist. Now teaching is my side hustle. I teach one course a semester. I teach studio art and art history. I love teaching but it is much more enjoyable to teach when it’s not your primary source of income. So, I understand what you are saying about going deep with a handful of people but also reaching a larger audience.

Hi, first I want to thank you, you have really helped me a lot with starting my private practice here in Chile. I started two years ago and it has been good thanks to your advice. Today I'd like to ask you what are your thoughts on creating a program of referrals, like offering a discount in sessions for bringing new clients to your practice. I've been thinking about it but I'm not sure how it would affect confidentiality.

Lately I have been noticing that your video audio rate seems sped up, maybe it's just me, but it's distracting.
