Physicians Hanging a Shingle | Start a Private Medical Practice

#41: Opening Your Practice...Don’t Skip the Celebration


Listen Later

We spend so much time planning the dream that when it finally happens, we rush right past it.

In this episode, I share a moment from a recent ribbon cutting for one of my 1:1 coaching clients—and a realization that stopped me in my tracks. As physicians, we’re wired to plan, execute, and move on to the next thing… but skipping the celebration comes at a cost.

You’ll hear:

  • Why big milestones often feel quieter than we expect
  • The emotional weight of building something from nothing
  • Practical ways to pause, reflect, and actually feel your progress
  • How honoring the moment can make the journey more sustainable
  • If you’re planning a private practice—or already in the middle of building one—this episode is a reminder not to rush past the moments you once prayed for.

    ✨ Interested in 1:1 coaching?

    If you want support building your practice with clarity, intention, and a plan that fits your life, I offer personalized 1:1 coaching for physicians. 

    Don’t skip the celebration. You’ve earned it.
