Episode 6: How to host a successful retreat [Featuring Megan Gunnell]

In this episode, I talk with Megan Gunnell, therapist and the Founder and Director of Thriving Well Institute, on the topic of retreat building (and how to step up and host one, even without retreat hosting experience). Megan is well known for her Thriving Therapist Facebook Group with over 12k members, as well as for hosting international retreats in places like Tuscany, Costa Rica, and more. Tune in as we talk about chasing your passions, the fears of hosting retreats (Will people actually like them?), and how to move from idea to action. We also talk about the need for connection, restoration, and self-care. You won't want to miss the fantastic advice that Megan offers on how to plan and host retreats, pursue your dreams, and, of course, face your fears and failures head-on. Megan has an upcoming retreat this May 2022 in Red Rocks, Utah. There are still spots available for this amazing, self-care-filled experience, so make sure to check out the details.

I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.
