Show Notes

What if your career could be bigger than the path you originally imagined?

In this solo episode, Patrick Casale shares lessons from building businesses, hosting retreats, podcasting, speaking, and leading a group practice—and why self-doubt, perfectionism, or waiting until you feel ready shouldn’t keep your ideas stuck in your head.

He also introduces his Beyond Private Practice intensives, designed to help therapists and entrepreneurs take those ideas and turn them into something real.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Your career doesn’t have to follow a predetermined path. There are countless ways to build meaningful, creative work around your skills, values, and lived experience.
2. Ideas need action, not certainty. Self-doubt and fear don’t have to disappear before you take the first step.
3. Build what actually fits you. Whether it’s a podcast, retreat, speaking career, group practice, or something entirely different, sustainable entrepreneurship should align with your values, capacity, and goals.

Patrick’s Beyond Private Practice intensive will cover retreats, podcasting, paid speaking opportunities, and group practice ownership through live coaching, practical resources, and lessons learned from doing all four.

Choose from October 23 or October 30, from 12–4 PM Eastern. You'll get access to four unique crash course topics all in one afternoon, priced at only $99. You'll also get 4 NBCC CEs.
