Is becoming a CE provider really worth it? How much can I make?

I get these questions every single week, so I built a calculator that does the math for you. It's in the first comment.

Not sure what to post?
Use these prompts for easy content you don't have to overthink.

Here’s how to use them:

➡️ Conversation Starters
Drop one in a reel, story or post. Say "Mine's in the caption," share your experience, then ask others to share.
Example:
Main text: Share a belief you’ve completely changed your mind about
Smaller text: Mine’s in the caption!
Caption: Share yours and invite others to comment.

➡️ Share what you're really thinking
Say what everyone’s thinking but not saying. Film yourself scrolling, sipping coffee, or just staring off.
Example:
Video: You on the couch with your laptop and notebooks
Text: Just casually rebuilding my business model for the fourth time this year
Caption: ADHD entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. Drop an emoji if you relate.

➡️ Just in case you needed to hear this
Use these for simple encouragement.
Example:
Clip: You with a blanket or tea
Text Just in case you needed to hear this today:
Smaller Text: Rest is productive.
Caption: That’s it. That’s the post.

➡️ Humor
Dry, snarky, goofy — whatever your style is. Meme it, reel it, or just post a silly photo.
Example:
Video: You in a robe sipping coffee
Text: I help people with burnout (she says while burned out)
Caption: Raise your hand if you’ve ever forgotten to take your own advice.

➡️ B-Roll
B-Roll = Simple background clips. Use it with any of the above. You don’t have to be “on” to show up.

Hope this was helpful!
Follow along and let me know in the comments if you're trying any of these.

Check out this amazing retreat by my consulting client, Emma Donovan ! 💥

What if this February, you traded winter burnout for rainforest renewal?

Come winter, are you craving a break from heavy caseloads, winter blues, and compassion fatigue?

I’m Emma, a holistic therapist, CE provider, and retreat facilitator. I’ve taught over 10,000 students and love helping therapists build fulfilling, holistic practices that restore both themselves and their clients.

That’s why I created the Holistic Wellness Continuing Education Retreat in Costa Rica. It’s designed for eco-conscious therapists who want to:

🎓 Earn 10+ CE credits in evidence-based holistic practices that feel more like personal renewal than a stuffy conference

🏞️ Restore their nervous systems in nature

🤗 Reconnect with purpose in a supportive, like-minded community

🌋 Enjoy volcanic hot springs, turquoise waterfalls, kayaking, yoga, and regenerative farm-to-table meals in Costa Rica

Eco paradise is calling. Will you answer?

Spots are limited! Message Emma to sign up and for more info!

I wish I knew this BEFORE I started adding additional income streams to my career as a therapist. ⬇️

The thing is, when things aren’t taking off the way you had hoped, it's probably NOT about you at all!

We tend to ask things like: “Is it me? Is my mindset wrong or am I emailing too much or do people just not like me?”

Chances are, it has nothing to do with your lovely self at all and your income streams just need a little strategic tweaking.

So, what SHOULD you do? 🤔

1️⃣ Focus on the transformation. What will someone know or have AFTER they use your product or service? Get specific!

2️⃣ Get really clear on your ideal client. Who desperately needs what you offer?

3️⃣ Share your knowledge freely. Don’t gatekeep the good stuff- share what you know and start establishing yourself as the amazing expert you are!

Remember that building additional income streams is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep chipping away at it and don’t give up!

Share in the comments- what additional income streams are you working on now and what questions do you have?

You want to build extra income streams as a therapist, but... where's the REAL talk? 🤔 Let's cut through the hype and get to the truth about side hustles and passive income. SWIPE to see the hard truths you NEED to know 👉🏻

Forget the "get rich quick" hype. Building real, sustainable income takes hustle AND a healthy dose of reality. 💪🏻

Sound familiar? Tell me where you're at in the comments! 👇🏻 Are you...

🧐 Just starting to explore extra income ideas?
💪🏻 Building a side gig, slowly but surely?
🎉 Crushing it with multiple revenue streams?

Let's learn from each other! 🩷
