Episode: Boundaries & Automations: How Women Build Low-Maintenance, High-Margin Practices Guests: Dr. Alex (host) with Dr. Lauren

What we cover:

• The “second shift” reality—and why boundaries are non-negotiable for women in healthcare

• Automations that protect your care (not replace it): online booking, reminders, smart “we’ll text you back” replies

• Creating patient resource libraries (videos, exercises, emails by trimester/week) to stop repeating yourself

• Using forms, policies, and pre-visit steps to set expectations and filter in empowered, ready patients

• Marketing as a filter: psychographics that attract ownership-minded patients (and repel energy vampires)

• Running lean when you’re between hires (or your front desk is out) without losing the boutique experience

• A quick self-audit to find your biggest energy leaks and systemize them

Try this audit (5 minutes):

1. List 3 tasks that drain you weekly.

2. Circle any the patient could do themselves.

3. Choose 1 to automate this week (template, link, video, or canned reply).
