If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this by myself,” when it comes to starting your private practice — this episode is for you.

Building a practice can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to figure out legal structures, billing, marketing, EHRs, and operations on your own. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to build this in isolation.

In this 5-minute mindset shift, I’ll help you reframe the fear of “doing it alone” into something far more powerful — strategic support.

Private practice isn’t about knowing everything.

If you’re in the early stages and want a clear, step-by-step roadmap, my course Plan to Practice will walk you through building your business plan and mapping out your private practice with clarity.

If you want personalized strategy, accountability, and deep-dive guidance specific to your model, I offer limited 1:1 coaching through The Private Practice Blueprint Coaching Program.

You don’t have to do this alone — but you do need a plan.

Choosing an EHR is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make when building your private practice — and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed during demos and sales calls.

In this episode, I walk you through five EHR red flags to watch for before signing a contract, including:

You don’t need the “perfect” EHR — you need one that supports your practice model and protects your time, energy, and revenue.

When you’re already tired, staying where you are can feel easier than starting something new. But easier doesn’t always mean lighter.

In this Thursday Mindset Shift, we unpack the hidden cost of staying comfortable — and how to tell the difference between what’s familiar and what’s aligned.

Social media doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — and it definitely doesn’t have to wait until your practice doors are open.

In this episode, I’m talking directly to physicians who are building or preparing to launch their own practice and know they need to start marketing, but aren’t sure how to use social media strategically without burning out.

Instead of chasing trends or trying to be everywhere, this episode reframes social media as a marketing tool and walks through four key questions every physician should answer before they start posting.

I also reference Episode #7: How My Facebook Launch Got 700+ Shares as a real-world example of what’s possible when social media is used intentionally.

If social media still feels overwhelming, that’s not a personal failure — it just means you don’t have a strategy yet.

I offer a 90-minute strategy call where we build your social media plan together — platform choice, posting rhythm, content focus, and engagement — all aligned with the practice you’re building and the season you’re in.

Have you ever thought, “I don’t trust myself to figure this out” when it comes to private practice?

In this short mindset shift, I’m talking directly to that fear—and gently dismantling it.

In this episode, we cover:

If this mindset has been quietly holding you back, support can help you slow the process down, make decisions in the right order, and stop feeling like you have to recreate the wheel.

Ready for next steps?

You don’t need to know everything.

What services should you offer in private practice—and what can you leave out?

In this episode, I break down how to decide your service offerings intentionally, whether you’re building an insurance-based or cash-pay practice. You don’t have to offer everything you were trained to do, and starting focused doesn’t limit your future—it protects it.

We cover why clarity matters, how to avoid recreating burnout, and how your services shape your schedule, systems, and sustainability.

Defining your services is a foundational part of building a practice that actually works.

Admin time is one of the most misunderstood parts of running a private practice.

In this episode, I walk through what admin time is actually for — and why it shouldn’t be used to catch up on notes, inbox messages, or other unpaid clinical work.

This is the same framework I use with my 1:1 coaching clients when we’re building out their clinic schedules. We’re not just deciding how many patients they’ll see — we’re deciding how they’ll lead their practice.

I share how I intentionally create and protect admin time, how I structure my own admin day, and what should happen during that time to keep a practice running proactively instead of reactively.

If your practice feels heavy, chaotic, or constantly behind, this episode will help you rethink how admin time fits into your schedule.

If you’re interested in working with me one-on-one as you build or refine your private practice, I'd love to work with you!

Admin time isn’t a luxury.

Physicians are trained to look for red flags — and that skill saves lives. But when it comes to career decisions, that same instinct can quietly keep you stuck.

In this short mindset shift, we talk about how fear can disguise itself as logic, why collecting worst-case scenarios doesn’t equal responsibility, and how changing the question you’re asking can open the door to clarity instead of paralysis.

If you’ve been over-analyzing your next step, this episode is for you.

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:

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.
