Ever feel like you're running on empty but can’t quite figure out why? Burnout doesn’t hit like a lightning bolt—it sneaks in, disguised as busyness, exhaustion, and a growing disconnect from the passion that once fueled you. As a practice owner, you’re juggling a thousand responsibilities, but when was the last time you truly paused to reflect?

In this episode of the Wise Practice Podcast, Christy Pennison, Stephanie Korpal, and Whitney Owens dig deep into why reflection isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. They unpack how solo and group practice owners alike can build intentional moments of self-awareness to stay aligned, avoid burnout, and sustain a practice they love. They’ll also introduce the Five Rs—a simple yet powerful framework to help you reset before exhaustion forces your hand.

If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start leading with clarity and purpose, this episode is for you. Tune in, take a breath, and let’s talk about how to make reflection a non-negotiable in your life and business.
