Episode 17: Not All Who Wander Are Lost — Becoming A Digital Nomad [Featuring Kym Tolson]

Season 1 Episode 17

---

During this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I speak with Kym Tolson, owner of the Traveling Therapist and Insurance Billing For Telehealth Professionals.

Travel and entrepreneurship often go hand-in-hand. Most of us start our own businesses to have more free time, flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to work from "anywhere."

I love traveling, and it's a major reason that I decided that small business ownership was for me.

Kym and I talk about:

• How to start traveling more while maintaining your business
• How I take 12-16 weeks off/year
• Kym's journey into becoming a digital nomad
• Billing insurance and requirements for out of state practice

Meet Kym Tolson, LCSW, CSAC:

I'm a traveling therapist, working on living all throughout the country and working remotely. First stop: Hollywood, Florida, right outside Miami. Then COVID hit. Ugh. Everything shut down. We couldn't travel. Dreams on hold! Luckily, Miami is a pretty great place to be stuck during a pandemic.

During the COVID lockdowns, I had a lot of time to work on my side-hustle, helping therapists learn how to bill insurance in their private practices.

I still saw my clients, but I also continued to perfect my course, "DIY Insurance Billing for Private Practice."

I also created a supportive membership, Bill Like A Boss, for therapists who are billing insurance in their private practices.

The Receptionist for iPad

I want to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.
