From burnout, overwhelm, and “managing like a therapist”… to leading with confidence, systemizing her practice, and unlocking freedom. In this episode, Tristan chats with Elizabeth Martin, founder of a unique virtual mental health OT practice in Portland, Oregon.

After five years in business, Elizabeth transitioned her clinic from contractors to employees but quickly realized leadership was a whole new game. She was working long hours, struggling with management, and unsure how to scale. Six months later, she’s cut her clinical hours from 32 to just 1 per week, grown her revenue by $100K per year, and finally feels in control of her business and lifestyle.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How Elizabeth shifted from “practitioner” to confident CEO and leader

• The systems she put in place that now run without her micromanaging

• How cutting her clinical hours by 97% gave her the freedom to focus on growth

• Why she believes every practice owner needs a coach (even if you already have a business degree)

• How she’s built a business that supports her mental health, her team, and her life outside of work

This is a must-listen for any healthcare business owner who wants to step out of the grind, lead with clarity, and grow a sustainable, systemized business that runs without being fully dependent on them.
