Episode: From Chaos to Clarity: What I Did to Improve My Practice Exponentially

Description:
In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes journey of how I took my practice from a place of chaos, burnout, and misalignment—and turned it into something intentional, values-driven, and truly fulfilling.

2023 was a year of major life transitions and growing pains—personally and professionally. My practice was expanding, but the systems, structure, and people weren’t keeping pace. I hit a breaking point and realized it was time to rebuild from the ground up.

From discovering EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) and diving into game-changing resources like Traction and Fireproof, to implementing scorecards, redefining our core values, and making tough staffing decisions—I’m walking you through the steps I took to regain control of my business and fall back in love with my practice.

Whether you’re in the middle of chaos or just looking to build something more sustainable and joyful, this episode is for you.
