Ep 113: Navigating the Summer Slowdown in Private Practice

The summer slump hits every year — fewer clients, slower days, and that nagging urge to hustle harder or fix what feels off. It’s tempting to push yourself to fill every open spot or make big changes, but this slowdown isn’t failure; it’s just part of the natural rhythm of the season. Instead of resisting it, what if you leaned into the pause and gave yourself permission to slow down?

I’m taking a break from the podcast this summer to focus on family and rest. Before I step away, I want to share five easy, low-pressure ways to lean into this slower time without burning out or losing momentum.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through simple, manageable actions you can take to stay connected to your purpose while preparing your practice for a strong, sustainable return in the fall.

Whether you're just starting out or years in but feeling disconnected, these insights—and the Ideal Practice Blueprint workbook—are here to help you reconnect with your vision and your well-being, one intentional step at a time.
