Motherhood and private practice aren’t two separate worlds, they’re your whole world colliding every day. The Therapist Mom Podcast is your weekly reminder that you can build a practice that fits your life, not the other way around. Being a therapist and a mom isn’t about balance, it’s about building differently and refusing to play by rules that were never written for us. Hosted by Ashley Comegys, a therapist, coach, and mom of three. You’ll hear candid stories, rebellious truths, and practical strategies for designing a practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and room to breathe. The Therapist Mom Podcast is your permission slip to build a private practice that works for your real life. Each week, you’ll get honest conversations and practical strategy around starting, growing, and running a private practice, without the hustle, guilt, or burnout. We’ll talk about boundaries, money, motherhood, and dismantling the systems that were never built for us in the first place. Because you’re not “just a mom” or “just a therapist.” You’re both, and deserve a business that recognizes and respects that. If you’re ready to build a flexible, values-aligned private practice that gives you time freedom and the autonomy you’ve been craving, you’re in the right place.

Ep 112: Surviving Summer: Setting Boundaries Without Guilt as a Mom & Therapist

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it actually looks like to be a mom and a therapist in private practice during the summer. If your days are filled with snack requests, sibling squabbles, and piles of laundry while you try to keep your business running—you’re not alone. I’m right there with you, and I’m diving deep into the messy realities, hard emotions, and the powerful truths we need to hear.

I talk about the real-life tug-of-war between motherhood and maintaining a business during these unpredictable months, and the heavy mental load that comes with it. I’ll share what it’s like to juggle it all, why setting boundaries is so hard (but necessary), and why scaling back doesn’t mean you’re failing.

Consider this your reminder that honoring where you are—and respecting your limits—can actually strengthen your life and your practice.

Whether you're just starting out or years in but feeling disconnected, these insights—and the Ideal Practice Blueprint workbook—are here to help you reconnect with your vision and your well-being, one intentional step at a time.
