If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s the one move that would actually change my practice?” this episode is for you.

I’m handing the mic to my friend and colleague, Amy Dover, LMFT—a wise, in-the-trenches group practice owner and consultant. In just a few minutes, Amy unpacks the five decisions that most transformed her practice over the past decade: hiring that first therapist, getting real about insurance panels, saying yes to consulting, moving from 1099 to W-2, and—most importantly—prioritizing spiritual rhythms that sustain it all.

You’ll walk away with clarity, courage, and your next right step—whether you’re solo or already leading a team. And if you’re a solo owner ready to hire, listen for Amy’s mastermind details starting November 6.

Grab your coffee, open your notes app, and hit play—this one could reshape your next season.
