Therapist burnout doesn’t start with big breakdowns - it starts with tiny betrayals of your time, your energy, and your vision.

In this episode, we get real about the emotional toll when you scale therapy practices, the identity shifts that come with leadership, and how to build a business that actually loves you back.

We don’t just talk about how to scale therapy practices - we unpack what it means to scale with integrity, values, and your own well-being intact. If you're craving more ease in your practice management while staying deeply connected to your mission, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How therapist burnout creeps in - even when your business looks successful on paper
  • What we wish someone told us before stepping into leadership and practice management
  • How to scale therapy offerings without abandoning your clinical identity or burning out
  • Why alternative careers for therapists don’t always mean leaving therapy - and what that path can look like
  • The moment we each realized our business no longer felt like ours - and what we did to take it back

Whether you’re managing a growing caseload, hiring your first employee, or questioning if this path still fits - this episode will help you gut-check your growth strategy and reconnect with the parts of you that got lost along the way.
