Summary
When does investing in your growth stop serving you — and start draining your finances? In this coaching conversation, Linzy sits down with Money Skills for Therapists graduate Katie Grant to explore how the constant drive to become a "better" therapist has turned professional development into a financial leak in their business. Together, they uncover the deeper story behind Katie's need to accumulate education and chase achievement, and they find a grounded path forward — one that supports Katie’s continued learning and financial wellbeing. If you're a high achiever, perfectionist, or therapist who always feels like you should know more, this episode is for you.
