This episode isn’t here to teach you anything new. No frameworks. No lists. No tactical takedowns. It’s a pause. The kind you take when you look behind you and realize, oh… we actually did something this year.

Leisa Krauss closes out 2025 by talking directly to the people who kept showing up. The ones who listened while driving to work, while charting late, while wondering if they were crazy for wanting more from their practice and themselves. This is a thank-you episode—but not the polite, polished kind. It’s the kind that comes from noticing who stayed, who implemented, who stopped tolerating things they used to excuse.

There’s reflection here, but it’s not sentimental. 2025 was the year a lot of listeners stopped shrinking. Stopped negotiating with mediocrity. Stopped pretending accountability was optional or that energy didn’t matter. Not perfectly. Not all at once. But deliberately. And that shift—quiet, internal, sometimes uncomfortable—is what changed the outcomes. Leisa doesn’t walk through episode highlights so much as she circles the throughline: standards got higher. Decisions got cleaner. Leadership got louder, even when voices shook. Clinics became businesses. Owners became leaders. And a lot of people finally trusted themselves enough to make the call they’d been avoiding.

This episode also makes space for what doesn’t get said enough—rest matters. Momentum isn’t built by grinding nonstop. Reflection is part of growth. And before charging into 2026, it’s worth acknowledging the ground already covered.

To all, thank you for what you do to keep raising the bar for yourselves, your clinics, and each other.
