I'm thrilled to welcome back my good friend and brilliant multi-passionate entrepreneur, Kym Tolson. If you've ever wondered how therapists can use AI to streamline their work, generate new income streams, or simply stop drowning in admin tasks, you're going to love this conversation.

Kym and I dive deep into her newest creation, The Thera AI Hub, a growing collection of over 35 done-for-you AI tools built specifically for therapists. From custom GPTs, to newsletter-building agents, to niche-finding and scalable-offer creators, Kym shows how therapists can reclaim their time, reduce burnout, and finally move toward the ideas they've been sitting on for years.

We also explore the evolving role of AI in mental health care including the big news about Cigna using AI as a first-line support tool, and talk candidly about what this means for the future of our field. Kym shares how therapists can stay relevant, adapt intentionally, and develop specialties AI can't replace.

Plus, she gives us an exciting look at upcoming features inside Berries, the AI-powered therapy note scribe where she serves as Clinical Director. Think smart treatment plans, automatic session summaries, homework suggestions, and even telehealth and EMR capabilities on the horizon.

If you're curious about leveraging AI to enhance your clinical work, build new offers, or simplify your business systems, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical tips, and plenty of "oh wow" moments.

I can't wait for you to listen. Kym always brings so much clarity, creativity, and encouragement. I know you'll walk away with at least one idea you're excited to try.
