In this episode, Tiffany cuts through the noise, the panic, and the denial to tell you the truth about what\u2019s actually happening in the therapy industry\u2014and what you must do right now if you want to stay relevant, in demand, and well-paid in 2026 and beyond.

Because the therapists who thrive in 2026 will not be the ones who waited. They will be the ones who adapted, elevated, and claimed their value early.
