    Crafting Your 2025 Narrative: Fighting Negativity Bias & Giving Yourself Credit

    As the year wraps up, it’s tempting to jump straight into planning what’s next — without ever stopping to reflect on what just happened. In this episode, we talk about why crafting a clear narrative for your year is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for preventing burnout, building perspective, and entering the next season grounded instead of reactive. We explore: Why high performers default to focusing on what didn’t go wellHow negativity bias distorts your view of the yearThe clinical parallel between helping patients make sense of their story — and doing the same for yourselfWhy even experienced CEOs struggle to give themselves creditOur one-sentence narrative for 2025, shaped by becoming a family of four while expanding our impact in pelvic healthHow reflection creates psychological closure and protects against burnoutWe’ll walk you through a simple exercise to help you name your own one-sentence narrative for the year — before you start planning the next one. If you’re feeling tired, behind, or like the year slipped by too fast, this episode is your invitation to pause, zoom out, and recognize what you’ve actually built.

    How a 0-10 Scale Will Transform Your Communication

    Binary questions are easy — and often misleading. In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful (and underused) communication tools in pelvic health, leadership, and life: the 0–10 scale. Instead of asking questions that are heavily influenced by power dynamics, assumptions, or people-pleasing (“Are you okay with this?”), the 0–10 scale opens the door to nuance, curiosity, and honesty. We discuss: Why yes/no questions shut conversations downHow a 0–10 scale creates psychological safety and intellectual humilityHow defining the ends of the scale matters just as much as the numberWhy the scale naturally leads to better follow-up questionsHow this tool keeps conversations collaborative instead of adversarialWe shares real-world examples of using the scale: Gaining consent for internal vaginal or rectal treatmentAsking about comfort with students or shadowingClarifying goals like returning to running or biking (and whether those are real goals)Interviewing clinicians and understanding true interest in patient populationsNavigating employee requests without jumping straight into actionThis simple shift turns communication into interaction — and helps you gather better information, build trust faster, and avoid unnecessary conflict. 🎓 48-Hour Clinical Course Sale To celebrate this episode, we’re running a 48-hour flash sale on all Pelvic PT Rising clinical courses.

    From Surviving to Thriving in Business as a Pelvic PT/OT Owner

    A lot of pelvic health business owners are just surviving. They’re working hard.  Seeing patients.  Paying the rent and bills, with maybe a bit left over for themselves.   But surviving isn’t why most people started a practice. In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to thrive as a business owner—and why the success you want is often on the other side of the work you’ve been avoiding. We walk through the five core areas we see in truly thriving practices: Financial confidenceLifestyle and time freedomClinical excellenceDaily enjoymentCommunity impactWe also discuss why willpower alone rarely gets people there, why grinding harder often backfires, and how getting the right support can completely change the trajectory of your business. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “it’s fine” and “this isn’t what I imagined,” this episode will give you clarity—and a framework to think differently about what’s next. 👉 Want to see where you fall right now?

    The 4 Types of Clinical Mentorship (And Why Most Clinicians Are Missing At Least One)

    Mentorship has become a buzzword in pelvic PT and OT — but most conversations around it are incomplete. In this episode, we break down the four distinct types of mentorship that actually shape clinical confidence, patient outcomes, and long-term career satisfaction. Most clinicians receive some mentorship — but very few receive all four. We unpack: Hard Skills Hands-on techniques, assessments, and interventions — what most people think of as “mentorship,” and what many con-ed courses focus on.Soft Skills Communication, motivation, managing difficult personalities, and helping patients truly buy into care. Often overlooked, but frequently the difference between average and exceptional outcomes.Information Understanding diagnoses, testing, medical management, and knowing what actually matters for the patient in front of you — not just what’s theoretically interesting.Professional Development Career guidance, burnout prevention, time management, and mentorship that considers you as a person — not just a clinician.We also talk honestly about what to do if you’re not getting this level of mentorship where you work — and how to approach your career strategically instead of hoping things improve on their own. 🔍 Looking for a clinic that prioritizes mentorship? We’ve built a Hiring & Mentorship Map featuring pelvic PT/OT practices — many within the Pelvic PT Rising community — that value training, growth, and long-term career development. 👉 Explore the map: www.pelvicptrising.com/map Whether you’re early in your career or years in, this episode will help you identify what kind of mentorship you’re actually receiving — and what you may be missing.

    Stop Borrowing Your Patient's Story - Help Them Create a Better One

    We dive into one of the most overlooked clinical skills in pelvic rehab:  👉 helping patients make sense of their own story. Patients often arrive with narratives that are fragmented, confusing, or shaped by years of mixed messages. When clinicians accidentally adopt that narrative, both the patient and the plan of care end up lost. We explore: Why so many patients lack a cohesive understanding of their conditionHow unclear stories lead to frustration, fear, and chasing answersOur role in helping patients build a clearer beginning–middle–future arcWhat it means to become the trusted “guide” in their journeyKey questions that help uncover what’s really keeping patients stuckThis episode will help you reframe the way you approach the patient story — and how to use it to improve buy-in, clarity, and outcomes.

    Why 90% of Business Owners Don't Reach Their Financial Goals

    🎙️ Why 90% of Pelvic Health Business Owners Aren’t Hitting Their Financial Goals We break down exactly why so many pelvic health business owners struggle financially — and what to do about it. This episode is based on data from our community and our experience working with more than 800+ pelvic rehab business owners. And the truth? Most owners aren’t missing their financial goals because 'people are afraid of spending money' or 'it just isn't working in my town or they’re “bad at business.” They’re missing them because the system they’re operating in makes financial success nearly impossible without addressing 5 key issues: 1️⃣ Time — The #1 Business Killer Whether you’re a solopreneur drowning in admin or a multi-clinician owner still seeing too many patients, time constraints choke your revenue more than anything else. 2️⃣ Pricing — Starting Too Low and Staying Too Low Most owners undercharge for years… sometimes forever.  Your pricing has to support your life — not just cover rent. 3️⃣ Marketing — “People Find Me on Google” Is Not a Plan If you can’t tell us exactly where you’d go to find five new leads this week, you don’t have a marketing system. And without one? You can't control the growth of your business. 4️⃣ Conversions — You Don’t Need More Leads. You Need to Convert the Ones You Have. If you’re not converting at least 70% of inquiries, you’re leaking money.  This is one of the highest ROI skills you can fix. 5️⃣ Consistency — The Most Underestimated Skill in Business Life will happen. Burnout will happen.  Systems are what allow your business to survive when you can’t run at 100%. The Big Picture: A pelvic health business is a get-rich-slow scheme. It works — but only if you fix the system and run it consistently over time. 🚀 Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Growing? The Business Accelerator opens soon! Six months. Weekly coaching.

    Money, Mentorship, Flexibility? What to Prioritize in Your Next Pelvic Health Job

    🎙️ How to Choose the Right Pelvic Health Job + PelviCon Sold Out in 4 Minutes  PelviCon 2026 sold out (again!) in just 4 minutes — which is both incredible and challenging. We wish everyone who showed up at 9:00am could have gotten an in-person spot. And TODAY is the last day to get the lowest possible price on the PelviCon Live Virtual + Recording pass! 💼 Now… let’s talk about HIRING. Whether you’re job-hunting now or planning ahead, this episode walks you through the four things you should be optimizing for based on the season of life you’re in. 1️⃣ Optimizing for Pay Totally valid — but make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Pay-per-patient vs. guaranteed hours can mean a 2–3x difference in annual income. 2️⃣ Optimizing for Flexibility Can you adjust your start and end time?  Number of days?  Being off for school pickups?  These are HUGE quality-of-life factors and often matter far more than an extra dollar per hour. 3️⃣ Optimizing for Mentorship + Career Growth The reason many residencies pay peanuts is because mentorship is invaluable.  Look for structured mentorship and a program that serves you.  You’re not just taking a job — you’re building a career. 4️⃣ Optimizing for Ethos + Patient Care Model Ask yourself: Will I see multiple patients per hour or one-on-one?Does this match the clinician I want to be?Your fulfillment comes from doing work you believe in. 🔍 Looking for great pelvic health positions?
