  • Rebroadcast | Taking Risks to grow Your Private Practice

    Rebroadcast | Taking Risks to grow Your Private Practice
    Jul 15 2025

    Are you a risk taker or do you tend to overthink before taking action?


    In this episode, we dive into the nuanced world of risk-taking, particularly in the context of growing a private practice.


    Leah shares her tendency to be risk-averse and the overthinking spiral that can result from facing risky decisions. Annie, on the other hand, describes herself as someone who jumps into ideas quickly, often figuring things out as she goes.

    We explore the idea that both cautious planning and spontaneous action require their own forms of bravery and confidence.


    “It’s worth it to take risks in your business sometimes.”


    In this episode, we will cover:

    • Learning from different approaches to risk (5:23)
    • The importance of balance in risk-taking (7:03)
    • Saying No to Protect Time and Energy (11:39)
    • The Role of Planning in Risk Management (15:20)


    Each month we host a live Deeper Dive so you can connect with us, our special guests, and each other + get lifetime access to the recording!
