155FF: Making Better Decisions About Professional Development

How can you make sure that the professional development courses you’re choosing actually align with your bigger goals? In this Feelings and Finances episode, Linzy answers a question from Stef, a current Money Skills for Therapists student, who is struggling to navigate the flood of course offerings that all seem exciting but might not be the best use of her time or money. Stef shares how she’s been struggling with whether each course is a strategic investment or just another shiny opportunity. Linzy explores how to step back and assess if a course truly aligns with your niche, practice goals, and current life situation. She explains how to identify when FOMO or urgency is influencing your decisions and how to use those feelings to pause and reflect instead of acting impulsively. Linzy also encourages listeners to create simple rules around course purchases—like taking a few days to decide—so that they can make choices from a place of clarity and not pressure. If you’re tired of falling for every new training opportunity that comes your way, this episode will give you the tools to slow down, make grounded decisions, and invest in professional development that supports your long-term goals.
