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 116: 3 Simple Ways to Integrate Advocacy Into Your Private Practice

This week on Raised to Empower, we’re talking advocacy—what it looks like for therapist moms, why it’s an ethical part of our work, and how it can be meaningful without burning you out.

Feeling like advocacy is too big, too political, or just too much? This is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be.

In this episode, I break down three simple ways therapists can make a real difference without adding stress to an already busy schedule:

Educate Clients on Rights & Resources. Empower clients with knowledge about their options, support groups, or services. Even small info-sharing can shift them from powerlessness to agency.
Take Quick Bite-sized Actions. Tools like the Five Calls app make advocacy accessible. A few minutes calling a representative or using a script creates ripple effects.
Amplify Others’ Advocacy on Social Media. Share posts, comment, or acknowledge others’ work. Visibility matters; lifting voices online models courage for clients, communities, and children.

Meaningful change can happen for your clients and your community thanks to these small, practical steps. Listen in, and let’s start making a difference today.
