Running a healthcare practice doesn't come with a manual—but that doesn't mean you have to figure it out alone.

There are seasons of life when your car starts to feel less like a vehicle and more like a mobile command center and with school and activities starting for my family, I’m living that season right now! Maybe you’re a parent bouncing between work, school pickup, practices, and activities. Maybe you’re a road warrior traveling […]

The CrossFit gym I go to happens to be called Momentum, which lately has felt especially fitting. I’ve noticed something about myself during workouts: the first half is almost always the hardest. There’s the initial enthusiasm of getting started, but somewhere between that and the finish line, I hit the point where everything feels hard. […]

One of the first things I listen for when I’m observing a team isn’t how they answer the phone or how they schedule patients. I listen to how they talk about insurance. Within just a few minutes, I can usually tell whether insurance is supporting the practice or quietly running it. That may sound like […]

One of the most common patterns I see when working with healthcare business owners isn’t a lack of effort or ability. It’s the opposite. The owner is incredibly capable. They know how to do almost every job in the practice. They can answer the phone, handle difficult patients, present treatment, solve insurance problems, jump into […]

As someone who works closely with healthcare professionals every single day, I’ve noticed a common thread lately: So many providers are tired. Not just physically tired, but emotionally tired.

Our nervous systems are amazing. They were designed to give us information about what is good for us and what is not. The problem is that for many of us, our bodies do not always recognize the difference between being trapped in a burning building and running late for a meeting. We have to learn […]

My recent trip to the Galápagos Islands (10/10—highly recommend) unexpectedly sparked a deeper reflection on pride, belonging, and connection. Being in Ecuador, a place tied to my family roots, reminded me how powerful it is to feel genuinely proud of where you belong. It made me think about how businesses can create that same sense […]

When it comes to growing a thriving private healthcare practice or simply navigating life with less stress, few tools are as unexpectedly transformative as understanding the Five Chinese Elements. In a recent episode, I sat down with therapist-turned-elemental expert Rachelle Guse, founder of The EClectic Spark, to explore how the elemental system can influence our […]

Private practice can be one of the most rewarding journeys a healthcare provider takes—but it can also be one of the most isolating. In a recent conversation with consultant and coach Tracy Cherpeski, we dug into what it takes to move from survival mode to truly thriving as a practice owner. Tracy is the founder […]
