Most practice owners believe burnout is just part of the job — long hours, heavy workloads, and endless demands. But what if burnout isn’t a personal flaw… what if it’s a system problem?

In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, host Adam Robin sits down with Kelly Higdon, co-founder of zynnyme, therapist, business coach, and author of Therapist Burnout. Kelly has spent the last 15 years helping practice owners rebuild their businesses (and their lives) from the ground up — without losing themselves in the process.

They dive deep into:

• Why burnout isn’t about self-care — it’s about broken systems
• How personal growth and leadership maturity shape business success
• The hidden mental and emotional patterns that block execution
• Why alignment, not hustle, creates sustainable progress
• The surprising connection between self-compassion and team performance
• How to build a practice that serves both your clients and your life

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode — doing “all the things” but never feeling at peace — this episode will help you rethink how you lead, grow, and take care of yourself while running a thriving business.

🎙️ Learn how to lead from alignment, not exhaustion.
