The question every practice owner dreads: What happens to my clinic when my personal life falls apart? When you're dealing with illness, family crisis, or parenting challenges that demand your full attention—how do you keep everything from crumbling?

Anna and Kendall tackle this vulnerable topic head-on, sharing wisdom from their own experiences navigating personal storms while running their practices. As Anna reflects on parenting teens: "It might involve more energy than originally anticipated from the baby years. Maybe I underestimated 13."

Kendall shares the foundational principle that shaped her entire practice structure: "From the beginning, set up the practice in a way that everyone could still be paid, even if I, in the beginning, wasn't seeing clients." This wasn't theoretical planning—it came from living with MS and understanding that stepping away isn't a possibility, it's an inevitability.

The hosts address the emotional weight of feeling like you're disappointing people when you need to step back. As Kendall notes, "It's okay to disappoint people... most of the time what I've received is take care of yourself, it's okay, we'll be fine." They emphasize that preemptive delegation, especially administrative support, is the critical first step in crisis-proofing your practice.

This episode offers both practical strategies and emotional permission to prioritize your wellbeing without letting your practice collapse.
