In this episode of the Empower LEP Podcast, Jana sits down with Meredith Eaton and Becca Marcus from Move Forward Virtual Assistants, a company on a mission to free mental health professionals from the administrative grind.

As Jana comes up on the 5-year anniversary of her practice, she shares the challenges of administrative work. Things like setting up systems, doing intake calls, getting people scheduled, following up with people who she didn't hear back from, getting clients to fill out their paperwork, and sending them their Super Bill can take up significant time and energy.

CEO and Executive Director of Client Experience, Meredith and Becca share how their team supports therapists, psychologists, and group practices to let them focus on their expertise.

Jana’s conversation highlights the importance of delegating tasks, trusting your team, and building a business that supports your life rather than consumes it.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a side business as an LEP, already have a busy private practice, or are curious about the kinds of administrative support available, this episode will inspire you to rethink how you build your practice.

In this episode of the Empower LEP Podcast, Jana chats with Dr. Jeremy Greene, a school psychologist and LEP whose journey has taken him from Sacramento to Shanghai and back. Jeremy shares how his natural ability to connect with people and offer guidance led him into school psychology, and he opens up about the pivotal role mentors played as he was starting out.

Jeremy takes us inside his time working overseas at an international school in Shanghai, where he faced the challenge of building special education support into a system that looked very different from what we’re used to here. Without IEPs or strict compliance rules, he leaned into trust, creativity, and relationships to help students succeed. He reflects on how those experiences shaped his approach to education, showing the power of honoring students’ strengths, voices, and identities—no matter the setting.

Jana and Jeremy also get real about the pressures school psychologists face, including burnout and the desire to explore opportunities beyond the traditional school system. Jeremy’s passion for student advocacy and his vision for systemic change shines through as he shares insights from his recent doctorate work and his hopes for the future of education.

If you’re an LEP, a school psychologist, or someone curious about the many ways you can make a meaningful impact in students’ lives, this conversation will leave you inspired and re-energized. Jeremy’s honesty and warmth are a refreshing reminder that there are so many ways to show up, grow, and keep the work fulfilling.
