Episode 17: Not All Who Wander Are Lost — Becoming A Digital Nomad [Featuring Kym Tolson]
During this episode, 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.
