What if the structure of your group practice is actually holding you back? The hierarchy. The unspoken rules. The way you've always done things. It might be time to shake it up. In this episode, I talk with therapist, consultant, and unicorn-in-human-form Sarah Buino about the dysfunction that shows up behind the scenes in group practices — and what to do about it. Sarah runs Group Practice Revolution, a bold new platform that supports both practice owners and employees.  She's on a mission to rebuild group practice culture from the ground up — with more transparency, collaboration, and heart. We dig into the real issues: power struggles, trust breakdowns, and why doing your own inner work isn't optional if you want to lead well. Whether you're a seasoned owner or just starting your group practice journey, this conversation will stretch your thinking — and maybe even spark your own mini-revolution.

Does public speaking anxiety stop you from saying “yes” to opportunities to share your voice? As therapy group practice owners, many of us find ourselves being pulled toward leadership beyond the therapy room—whether that's hosting retreats, teaching workshops, speaking at conferences, or simply leading internal trainings with more presence and ease.  But here's the thing: public speaking anxiety is very real—and faking it till you make it doesn't always work. In this episode, I'm joined by vocal and speaking confidence coach Linda Ugelow to dig into how to overcome fear of public speaking—not by pushing through it, but by healing what's underneath it. Because visibility isn't just about you—it's about the mission and message of your therapy group practice reaching the people who need it most. Here's what we're covering: Why public speaking anxiety affects so many practice owners—even those used to talking all day in session The real reason “just practicing more” doesn't solve it (and what to do instead) Grounded, practical public speaking anxiety tricks that actually work—like EFT, visualization, and body-based rituals How unresolved stories and inner critics fuel the public speaking anxiety—and how to rewire those beliefs Why public speaking is a powerful growth lever for your therapy group practice—and how to say yes to the mic with less dread If you've ever thought, “I should be doing more speaking, but I can't get past the public speaking anxiety,” this one's for you.   LINKS: Linda's book: Delight in the Limelight Need extra support?

Episode 140: Leadership, Self Energy, & the Internal Family Systems Model with Rachel Bentley As therapists, business owners, and leaders, we often feel pressure to have all the answers. But what if the most impactful leadership doesn't come from perfection—but from embracing our humanity and ongoing growth? That's exactly what I explored in my conversation with Rachel Bentley on The Innovative Therapist Podcast (Episode 140). Rachel is an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 2 trained therapist, group practice owner, and business consultant. She leads a 40-clinician practice with locations in Michigan and helps therapists navigate leadership, self-energy, and sustainable business growth. In this episode, we dive into: How Internal Family Systems (IFS) can transform therapist leadership The role of self-energy in decision-making and leadership Overcoming imposter syndrome & self-doubt Why creativity and the Zone of Genius matter for therapists How to build a leadership team without burning out The Power of IFS in Therapist Leadership Rachel shared how IFS has revolutionized her leadership as a group practice owner. Instead of leading from a place of control or fear, she now understands how her internal parts—the ones managing decision-making, leadership stress, and self-doubt—can work together. Why Self-Energy is the Key to Effective Leadership IFS isn't just a clinical tool—it's a leadership framework. Rachel discussed how recognizing and working with her own parts has helped her: ✅ Lead with more confidence and clarity ✅ Trust her intuition in making business decisions ✅ Navigate the challenges of growing a large team ✅ Avoid burnout by recognizing protective parts before they take over Many therapists struggle with imposter syndrome, especially when running a business. Rachel's insights show that leading with self-energy—rather than fear-based parts—creates a more sustainable and authentic business. Creativity & the Zone of Genius for Therapists One of the most exciting parts of our conversation was Rachel's journey with creativity. Like many therapists, she didn't initially consider herself creative. However, she's discovered that creativity isn't just about art or music—it's about problem-solving, visioning, and innovation. What is the Zone of Genius? The Zone of Genius is the space where your natural talents and passions intersect. It's where work feels energizing instead of draining. Rachel and I explored how therapists can identify their Zone of Genius and lean into work that truly excites them. Ask Yourself: What part of your work lights you up the most? Where do you feel the most “flow” and self-energy? Creating Spaces Where We Don't Have to Prove Ourselves Therapists often feel pressure to appear “perfect”—as if we should always have it all together. But true leadership comes from embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Rachel and I discussed the importance of creating spaces where therapists can show up without unrealistic expectations. Whether it's within group practices, consulting, or therapist communities, we need places where: ✔️ We can ask questions without judgment ✔️ We don't have to prove our worth ✔️ We can be real about struggles and challenges Thinking About Starting a Group Practice? Read This First. A key topic we covered was how therapists can decide whether group practice ownership is right for them. Rachel often works with therapists navigating the solo-to-group transition, helping them consider: ❓ What is your why for starting a group practice? (Curiosity vs. Judgmental Why) ❓ Are you comfortable with leadership & delegation? ❓ Do you understand the realities of scaling a business? ❓ Are you willing to work through your own parts and fears? Join the Conversation & Build a Meaningful Practice This episode is packed with insights for therapists looking to lead with self-energy,

The biggest mistakes therapists make when hiring their first team member. How to step out of the treatment room without losing income. The role of leadership in running a successful group practice. Why systems are the secret to consistent growth.

Are you tracking the right KPIs, or are you just looking at numbers that don't actually drive growth? If you're a therapy group practice owner, knowing how to track KPIs effectively can mean the difference between a scaling therapy group practice, or feeling stuck in the day-to-day grind.  In this episode of The Group Practice Exchange Podcast, I dive into how to track KPIs that matter, avoid common tracking mistakes, and implement strategies to make data-driven decisions that lead to real growth. Too many therapy practice owners either track the wrong numbers, don't track anything at all, or set vague goals that don't move the business forward. That's why great therapy practice management has to start with clear, actionable KPIs that support your practice's long-term success. In this episode, I break down: How to track KPIs that actually improve decision-making and profitability. The biggest mistakes therapy group practice owners make when setting goals. How a simple system audit can uncover hidden inefficiencies in your practice. The SMART framework for setting KPIs that drive real business growth. Why a scaling therapy group practice starts with learning how to track KPIs that matter—not just session counts. Tracking KPIs isn't just about numbers—it's about how to improve conversion rates, make smarter business decisions, and set up your therapy group practice for long-term success. If you're ready to get out of the guesswork and start running your therapy group practice like a data-driven business, this episode is for you!   LINKS: Need extra support?
