On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Carrie Pagliano joins me to discuss women as leaders and entrepreneurs in physical therapy. Carrie Pagliano currently serves as President for the Section on Women's Health of the American Physical Therapy Association and is the owner of a private women's health/pediatric pelvic health clinic in Arlington, VA.

In this episode, we discuss:

-How Carrie manages being a mom, leader and entrepreneur in physical therapy

-How to elicit the needed support from your tribe to catapult you to success

-A framework for creating value and solving people's pain points when building your own practice

-Embracing your vulnerabilities and practicing gratitude over even the small successes

-And so much more!

The variety of settings and time management structures in physical therapy afford women the opportunity to manage work and life, as Carrie reminds, "We have so many roles in our profession in which women and specifically moms can choose to be a part of, depending on where they are in their family development." Women bring value to the workplace and Carrie believes, "Regardless of where we are in our career and family life cycle, we have a lot to offer."

Jumping at opportunities when they arise, regardless of the timing, has helped Carrie grow into leadership positions. Carrie stresses, "It's an uncanny ability that I think women have is making things happen."

Success in any endeavor is a product of the support received from those around you and Carrie has found that, "It's not about me; it's everybody around me who helped make this happened."
