We’re taking a completely unorthodox approach in Episode 43 of the Creative Business Breakdown podcast. Instead of recording together in the same room as we usually do, we’re answering some BIG questions about our partnership…separately.
If you’ve been curious about the inner workings of our partnership, or how a business partner relationship looks in general, make sure to listen to this episode. We dive deep into the evolution of our business together, the challenges we have faced, and how we have grown both personally and professionally due to our partnership.
What other questions do you have for us about forming and maintaining a business partnership? We’d love to record more episodes in this style, so your feedback is super valuable. Thanks as always for listening!

One of the biggest challenges of owning a business is knowing if and when it’s time to hire an employee. As music therapy business owners, this is not an easy decision to make, especially if you’ve never hired an employee before.
We’ve learned so much with each hire, and are getting ready to go through the process once again — which is why we decided to tackle this challenging topic now. In this episode, we’re sharing some of the important questions you must answer every single time you consider hiring an employee.

Being a business owner can feel like riding a rollercoaster: sometimes you’re on top of the world with your hands in the air, and other times, you’re flying down a steep hill holding on for dear life.
At this moment in our business, we’re feeling the latter, and in this episode, we’re getting real about our current challenges. We talk through how we’re dealing with overwhelm, especially when it comes to our mindset.
If you’re going through a difficult season as a business owner, please know that you’re not alone! We hope you’ll find solidarity in Episode 39, and take away a few words of wisdom, since this isn’t our first time on the rollercoaster(and won’t be our last!).

When the topic of “self-care” comes up, things like pedicures and bubble baths usually come to mind. And while we love those indulgences from time to time, the most effective self-care is the kind that you can incorporate into your everyday routine.
In Episode 38 of the Creative Business Breakdown, we’re talking about how we’re practicing self-care on a regular basis in this season, and the effect that it’s having on both our personal and professional lives.
A whole roundup of self-care centered resources went out to members of the Music Therapy CEO Project on February 1st, and there’s still time to get those materials for yourself! Click here to learn more and reap the benefits of membership.

Is it just us, or has this month seemed to last…FOREVER?! The first month of 2019 has been quite the rollercoaster, with plenty of ups, downs and in betweens both personally and professionally.
In Episode 37 of the Creative Business Breakdown podcast, we’re talking about how we’ve celebrated the highs, faced the challenges, and just kept moving forward throughout this very long month.
As we finally reach the end of January, we are looking forward to sharing new resources with members of the Music Therapy CEO Project on February 1st. Join us and up your game when it comes to self-care, profit planning, and making progress on all those goals you set for 2019.

Happy New Year! We hope 2019 is off to an amazing start for you. We spent the second day of this new year setting business goals based on our new mantra (which we shared in Episode 34), and this year’s goal setting day looked and felt a little different than years’ past.
So in Episode 35 of the podcast, we are sharing how we approached the creation of our 2019 goals, how they are related to our mantra, what we learned through this process, and some other surprises that came up along the way.
If you would like to learn more about our mantra creation and goal setting processes, this is a perfect time to become a member of the Music Therapy CEO Project. Get all of the details right here!

2018 is almost over! We’ve been very intentional about how we have spent the last couple weeks of this year, and we had a fun chat all about that for the podcast.
This episode is airing during the week between Christmas and New Year, when we’re in full-on prep mode for 2019. Before the ball drops, we wanted to share how we are wrapping up 2018 and getting ready for a fresh start.
In Episode 34, we are also sharing our mantra for 2019. We’ve been creating mantras to guide our business for the past 4 years, and they have proven to be incredibly effective in helping us streamline our work and mindset. We are SO excited about our mantra for the new year! Listen in to find out what it is.
Do you set a mantra at the beginning of the new year? If so, we would LOVE to hear what it is! Drop us an email or message us on social media to let us know. And don’t forget to check out the Music Therapy CEO Project, because for the month of January we are sharing some awesome resources about goal-setting and mantra creation.
We wish you the happiest New Year, and can’t wait to continue growing and creating with you in 2019!
Until next time,
Rachel & Katey
