ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What do you do when private practice feels heavier than usual?
In this solo episode, I'm sharing honestly about the fear, stress, uncertainty, and pressure so many practice owners are carrying right now. From shifting caseloads and money worries to personal grief, leadership challenges, and the weight of caring for a team, this season has felt like a lot.
If your practice feels hard right now, you are not alone.
I'm talking about what I've been seeing in the private practice world, what I've been walking through personally, and how we can respond with faith, grace, community, and grounded rhythms instead of fear, overworking, or avoidance.
Y'all, this is a real and honest conversation about leadership, faith, hard seasons, and remembering that this will not last forever.
I also share why community matters so deeply right now and invite you to join us at the Wise Practice Summit, October 8–10 in Nashville, Tennessee.

This episode is brought to you by Aria, the practice automation platform.
You did the work. You billed for it. But did you actually collect it?
If you take insurance, the gap between the care you delivered and what actually lands in the bank can be wider than you think. Aria's reporting shows you that gap in plain numbers: what you charged, what you collected, and what's still sitting unpaid.
No more wondering where it went.
Right now, Aria is giving the Wise Practice community a free first month of reporting, no contract. It works with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and other common EHRs, with more on the way.
