Let's be honest… your practice can't grow if your leadership stays the same. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest blind spots I see as businesses scale: leadership becomes the constraint before you even realize it. I'm sharing what it looks like when your team outpaces your management skills, how to know if you're stuck in survival mode (even if revenue is up), and why burnout is often a leadership problem in disguise. If you've been frustrated by your team, feeling stretched too thin, or stuck wondering why it's still so hard, you need to hear this. Because at a certain point, it's not your systems or your people holding you back. It's you. Let's fix that.

➡️ My Own Your CEO Status™ Masterclass is happening on February 17th from 6–7 PM ET – and it's free. I'll walk you through the mindset, leadership shifts, and systems your practice needs to finally run without you. Save your seat now and let's set you up for sustainable success this year.

You've probably thought it before: "If I could just hit $1M in revenue, everything would get easier." But the truth is, revenue alone doesn't solve chaos. It doesn't fix broken systems, underperforming teams, or your exhaustion. In fact, more money can hide deeper problems… until it doesn't.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the real KPIs that determine whether your practice is truly scalable, sellable, and sustainable. From profitability to team engagement to system flows, she lays out exactly what you need to monitor (and what to shift) to build a practice that actually gives you freedom, NOT just bigger numbers.

If your practice is making more money but still feels hard, clunky, or chaotic, this one's for you.

➡️ My Own Your CEO Status™ Masterclass is happening on January 21 at 12PM ET – and it's free. I'll walk you through the mindset, leadership shifts, and systems your practice needs to finally run without you. Save your seat now and let's set you up for sustainable success this year.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Why 7-figure practices still struggle to make payroll

• The 5 metrics every high-growth CEO needs to watch

• What private equity won't tell you about your practice's value
