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.

LinkedIn for Therapists: How to Build Your Professional Presence in Just 15 Minutes a Day with Brenda Meller
You've been avoiding it, haven't you? That little blue LinkedIn notification sitting in your email inbox, taunting you with connection requests you never respond to.
Maybe you think LinkedIn is just for corporate salespeople in suits, not compassionate healers like you.
Maybe you've tried posting once or twice, felt like a fraud trying to "market yourself," and promptly retreated back to the safety of your private practice bubble.
What if I told you that avoiding LinkedIn isn't protecting your authenticity—it's limiting your impact?
While we stay invisible on the one platform where our ideal referral partners are actively looking for us, we're missing conversations and opportunities that could transform our practices.
In this episode, LinkedIn expert Brenda Meller reveals:
- Why LinkedIn is actually the PERFECT platform for therapists (professional relationships, not personal oversharing)
- The "Social Media Pie" philosophy that reframes networking from taking to giving
- Her game-changing 15-minute daily strategy that even the busiest therapists can maintain
- The 80/20 rule for posting that eliminates the "salesy" feeling entirely
- How to optimize your profile to attract referral partners (not just clients)
- Why "netgiving" beats networking every time—and how to do it authentically
- The algorithm secrets that make your content actually get seen by the right people
- Specific engagement techniques that build social media karma and reciprocity
Bottom Line: The difference between therapists who have thriving referral networks and those who struggle in isolation isn't clinical skills—it's the willingness to show up professionally and build authentic relationships.
