Therapists Rising Podcast
Welcome to the Therapists Rising Podcast, where we share real, raw, and behind-the-scenes stories and lessons from Therapists who are thinking outside the traditional clinical box and choosing to do things differently in their careers. I’m your host, Dr. Hayley Kelly, and I myself have made the journey from a very experienced, but burnt out and unhappy, Clinical Therapist - to a successful entrepreneur who runs a business she loves, is thriving financially, and working and living life on her own terms. Join me, and be inspired, as I speak with other Therapists who too are broadening their horizons, and experiencing more abundance, joy, and fulfilment than ever before. Together we will laugh, soak up priceless wisdom and take actionable steps, to help you transition from clinical practice to non-clinical offerings, and diversify and amplify your income - all while honouring your wellbeing and having a work-life balance. If you’re ready to be inspired and take action on your dreams, then you’re in the right place, friend. This is the Therapists Rising Podcast.

The Secret to Creating a Course That Feels Worth It (Without Overdelivering)
Ever feel like you've crammed absolutely EVERYTHING into your online course because you're afraid it's not enough? You're not alone! In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest challenges therapists face when creating online programs - overdelivering to the point where students get overwhelmed and drop off.
I reveal why your students aren't completing your course (hint: it's not because they're lazy) and introduce you to the powerful frameworks we use in the Therapists Rising Incubator to create streamlined, high-impact courses that actually get completed.
Whether you're still planning your first online program or wondering why students aren't finishing your existing course, this episode gives you practical tools to cut the bloat without losing depth.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Why therapists tend to overdeliver in online courses (and the fears driving this behavior)
- The Golden Thread framework for creating a clear path from problem to transformation
- How to use the Strategic Filter to ruthlessly cut anything that doesn't serve your students
- Practical benchmarks for course design (optimal video length, lessons per module, and PDF best practices)
- How to reconnect with your power instead of people-pleasing through excessive content
