If you listened to my conversation with Jessica Cowling and felt that “oh wow, that’s me” moment — this episode is your next step. We’re talking about two common crossroads for group practice owners: avoiding the numbers and leading from people-pleasing. I share my own experiences (including the resentment trap), and I walk you through five practical leadership steps you can take this month to protect your energy, lead with clarity, and build a practice that truly serves you.

What You’ll Hear:

1. The hidden cost of “I’ll just leave the numbers to the professional”
2. How people-pleasing shows up in leadership (and why it breeds resentment)
3. 5 practical steps to build confidence without doing everything at once
4. The mindset shift from clinical clients to your team as your client
5. How to get support before you’re desperate — so you don’t burn out in silence

Meet the Host: Lisa Catallo

Lisa is a Canadian psychotherapist, group practice owner, and business coach with over eight years of experience leading a thriving, values-driven practice. She works with therapists who are ready to step into their role as confident, ethical, and intentional leaders—without burning out or getting buried in the day-to-day.

Lisa’s coaching focuses on building sustainable group practices through efficient systems, effective leadership, and a deep respect for time and energy. Her approach is calm and encouraging, offering grounded guidance that helps therapists move from overwhelm to clarity—so they can lead with confidence and purpose.

Whether she’s supporting someone just starting to grow a team or helping a seasoned leader reclaim their role as CEO, Lisa brings a blend of insight, structure, and heart to everything she does.

When she’s not coaching or connecting with therapists, you’ll find her hanging out with her children and grandchildren, reading, walking by the water, or dreaming up new ways to make business feel a little lighter.
