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.

To Niche or Not to Niche: Why "Helping Everyone" Is Helping No One
The hard truth: If you're trying to help everyone with your online program, you're actually helping no one—and it's killing your business before it even starts.
You've got years of training and could help SO many people. But when you try to market to "everyone," your message becomes so vanilla that nobody feels seen. Those perfect clients? They're hiring someone who spoke directly to their specific pain.
In this game-changing episode, you'll discover:
- Why "I help people with anxiety" guarantees invisibility (with cringe-worthy examples)
- The Identity Trap: Why "moms" isn't a niche and demographics don't buy programs
- The math proving specificity INCREASES income (one student went from $97 to $5K programs)
- My 3-Question Clarity Check to know if your niche is specific enough
- The Step-Down Method: How to narrow focus without panic
- Why trying to serve everyone is actually UNETHICAL
- Real before-and-after examples showing the difference between noise and clarity
Key Mindset Shifts:
✓ Specificity is service, not selfishness
✓ You're not abandoning people—you're becoming excellent for the RIGHT people
✓ The market rewards clarity, not capability
✓ The narrower you go, the bigger you grow
