    The Myth of Doing It All: Why Every Group Practice Owner Needs Support

    As a group practice owner, it can feel like you are supposed to hold everything together. The clinical work, the leadership, the marketing, the finances, the emotional weight of your team. Somewhere along the way, “being a strong leader” can quietly turn into “doing it all alone.” In this episode, Lisa unpacks the myth of having to do it all. She explores the different types of support group practice owners actually need, why support feels so hard to reach for, and how to recognize the signs that it is time to build a stronger support system. This is a reflective and honest conversation about control, trust, money, identity, and stepping more fully into your CEO role. If you have been feeling stretched thin, resentful, or exhausted, this episode will help you pause and rethink what leadership really looks like.
