In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Nina, a high-achieving woman who has learned to rely on herself since childhood—and now wonders why love feels so hard to receive. Despite years of healing and success, she finds herself attracting men who are kind but lack direction, and she struggles to understand whether her independence is strength or self-protection. Christine helps Nina uncover the difference between healthy masculine energy and overfunctioning rooted in trauma. Together, they explore how early loss and betrayal created hypervigilance, and how surrendering to trust—especially through a deeper spiritual relationship—can open the door to healthy, reciprocal love. If you've ever been told you're "too strong," or you find it easier to do everything yourself than to receive support, this episode will help you reframe that pattern with compassion and start allowing love in. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you relate to overfunctioning or feeling like the one everyone relies on? Is receiving help or love uncomfortable for you? Do you believe you need to have everything handled to feel safe? Have you confused control with confidence or independence with strength? Key Insights and A-HAs: Overfunctioning is often a trauma response, not healthy masculine energy. When we've been hurt by men, we often project that hurt onto "the masculine" as a whole. Safety must come before surrender—your nervous system needs evidence that love can be safe. Healing happens in stages; each relationship can serve as a stepping stone toward healthy partnership. True surrender isn't weakness—it's a return to trust, faith, and divine alignment. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on early memories that taught you to "handle it all" and what beliefs they created. Practice receiving in small, everyday ways (compliments, help, rest). Replace "I need to fix it" with "I'm open to support." Pray or journal: "God, help me align with my most loving and healthy match." Remember that trust—both spiritual and relational—is a muscle built over time.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____When Susanne Schotanus was fifteen, she spent two years in weekly psychiatric appointments before someone finally said she had ADHD. No one explained what it meant or how to work with it. She simply left with a label that didn't change much of anything. Years later, as a university student struggling to finish assignments she deeply loved, she realized she was still battling the same invisible barrier. That rediscovery set her on a new path that would eventually change how thousands of people think about writing.Susanne became the first person in the world to call herself an ADHD writing coach for adults. Since founding her practice, she's helped hundreds of writers finally finish what they start, find joy in their process, and rebuild trust in their creative voice. Her work sits at the intersection of ADHD research and the craft of writing, a space where emotion, structure, and imagination can finally coexist without friction.In this episode, Susanne and Tracy talk about why consistency is a myth for ADHD writers, how perfectionism and shame shape creative blocks, and what it takes to repair a “toxic relationship” with writing. Susanne also shares how acceptance and play restore joy to the process, how writing can be healing when approached with care, and why ADHD creativity isn't broken. She reminds us that ADHD storytelling is not messy or broken. It is multidimensional, intuitive, and deeply human.Resources:Website: https://passionatewritercoaching.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanne-schotanus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionatewritercoaching Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Many of us move through life repeating the same painful relationship patterns—feeling unsafe, unseen, or disconnected, even when we're trying our hardest to "do everything right." Invisible wounds from early experiences quietly shape the ways we love, cope, and relate as adults. Instead of recognizing these patterns as natural adaptations, we often turn the blame inward, not realizing that our attachment styles and protective behaviors are rooted in the body and nervous system as much as the mind. Real healing isn't about forcing change or consuming endless self-help advice—it's about reshaping your internal sense of safety on a deeply felt, embodied level. In this episode, we explore how secure, nourishing relationships begin with understanding the implicit memories, sensations, and patterns that live inside us. Learn how to meet old wounds with compassion, honor the protective parts that once kept you safe, and gently build new internal anchors of stability and trust. Using tools like the Wheel of Attachment and the practice of "finding your anchors," this episode offers both a clear roadmap and grounded encouragement for anyone ready to move beyond survival mode and experience connection that feels authentic, spacious, and truly supportive. Jessica Baum is a licensed psychotherapist, certified addiction specialist, and Imago couples therapist with advanced training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and experiential therapy. She founded the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach and leads a global coaching company supporting clients worldwide. Passionate about trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology, Jessica helps individuals and couples heal and reconnect. Her bestselling book, Anxiously Attached, has made her a respected voice in nurturing secure, fulfilling relationships.   Episode Highlights 05:55 How early experiences shape our sense of safety. 07:48 Implicit memories and relationship patterns. 11:09 The importance of somatic (body-based) memory. 13:14 Reconnecting with the body for healing. 18:42 Understanding and honoring protective behaviors. 21:40 Building trust in healthier relationship dynamics. 25:00 The essential role of anchors in healing. 26:06 Why healing requires relationships, not willpower. 31:43 Finding and cultivating emotional anchors. 35:05 The Wheel of Attachment: A nuanced approach. 37:45 Earning security through supportive experiences. 40:31 Moving toward fulfillment: Real connection and support.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Slow down and take mindful pauses to help connect with your body and increase present-moment awareness. Notice physical sensations during interactions, especially in moments of emotional intensity, to access implicit memories and attachment wounds. Practice developing interoception—your ability to sense internal bodily states—to better understand your emotional responses in relationships. Identify and honor your protective patterns ("protectors") rather than judging them; acknowledge they were there to support you. Seek out safe "anchors" or individuals who can offer emotional co-regulation and support your healing process. Use the "Wheel of Attachment" framework to explore how your early relational dynamics show up in current relationships. If you lack supportive anchors, resource from memories of secure figures (e.g., a teacher, grandparent) or pursue professional support. Engage in relationships and healing spaces where vulnerability, witnessing, and somatic attunement are encouraged, facilitating earned secure attachment over time.   Mentioned Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love SAFE (Interview and freebies link) Nurturing the Heart (Dr. Bonnie Badenoch's website) Conscious Relationship Group (Facebook group) (link) Relationship Institute of Palm Beach ERP 342: How Love Transforms Our Nervous System — An Interview With Jessica Baum ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An interview With Deb Dana ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Jessica Baum Websites: beselffull.com Facebook: facebook.com/consciousrelationshipgroup YouTube: youtube.com/@jessicabaumlmhc Instagram: instagram.com/jessicabaumlmhc

https://teachhoops.com/ A great practice plan is built on a consistent, time-based structural framework. While the drills may change daily, the flow and time allotted to each segment should remain familiar. Most successful practices are broken into key "blocks": a dynamic warm-up (often incorporating ball handling and finishing), individual/positional skill development (e.g., guard shooting drills, post-move work), team concepts (installing or reviewing offense, defense, or special plays), and a competitive segment (like 3-on-3, 4-on-4, or 5-on-5 full-court). By dedicating specific minutes to each block, you guarantee that you are developing the complete player and team, balancing fundamental skills with team strategy every single day. The sequence of these blocks is crucial for maximizing learning and managing energy. Many coaches structure their plan to flow logically from simple to complex, or "part-to-whole." For instance, you might start with a 1-on-0 shooting drill (part), progress to a 2-on-2 drill using that same action (part), and finally integrate it into a 5-on-5 half-court offense (whole). It's also highly effective to have a "theme of the day" (like "communication" or "transition defense") that you emphasize in every single segment, from the first warm-up drill to the final competitive game, creating a clear, focused objective for the entire practice. Finally, a well-structured plan is a guide, not a rigid script. You must "coach the practice, not the plan," meaning you must have the flexibility to spend more time on a drill if your team is struggling, or cut a segment short if they've clearly mastered it. A good plan also alternates high-intensity conditioning or competitive drills with lower-intensity teaching or shooting periods to keep players physically and mentally fresh. Always conclude on time with a brief team huddle to review the day's goals, praise a specific success, and set the expectations for the next day. Learn more about your ad choices.

Operatinging a practice is very, very different from owning a practice. Kiera walks listeners through what the path to CEO ownership looks like, including the difference between the clinical and business sides, how performing a time audit will get you started, the ideal approach to establishing a vision, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today is a great day. I am so excited for this podcast. I am excited to be chatting with you. I feel honored. Where are we at? Are we hanging out? Are we going on a walk together? Are we getting ice cream together? Are we picking up the kids? Are we driving to work? Are we driving home from work? Are we sitting in traffic? Wherever we are, I hope it's a great day. And I hope that even if it wasn't the best day that you're choosing to make sure that today is going to be an epic day, that you're choosing yourself, that you're choosing happiness.   that you're choosing this incredible life. And you remember at one point, at one point, the life you're living is the life that you were dreaming of. And how blessed are we to be able to live this magical life that we get to. So today I just wanna walk you through how to go from a practice operator where you're doing all of it to a true CEO and what needs to change to be able to lead at the next level. So I think this is so fun because owning a practice is very, very, very different than   operating a practice, would you agree? And so like if you're still in the weeds, you're still doing the day to day, you're not yet the CEO of your practice. And so this is something where I wanted to kind of walk you through like, what does that even look like? Because for some of us, we don't even know what the destination looks like. So we're like, well, I can't even visualize it. So therefore I can't even like create it. And I want to make sure that I help you see what that path can be, help you understand what it can look like if you choose that you want to do it.   This is something where Dental A Team's mission is to truly help doctors stop running on survival mode and start leading strategically. So whether you want to be the CEO where you're out of the chair, whether you want to still be the operator where you do some dentistry, but you have the options because you know what that can look like. So that's what we're about. And today it's going to be going from busy operator into visionary, going from day to day to the big picture. And so fun because I actually was talking to a client this morning who actually it's been about a three year journey has now   rounded the bend to where they had their last day of clinical dentistry and they're stepping fully into the CEO role. And as we were chatting, we talked about how it's a mind trip. It's a full blown mind trip and how I told them, said, it's crazy because I'm actually doing this podcast today. I had already planned that I wanted to talk about this. It was so serendipitous that we chatted today. ⁓ But I said, isn't it wild how like what we dreamed of, like you go through dental school and you go through all these things. ⁓   to walk away from that, have associates, to have different people. Just like me, I consult, I still do some consulting, but I do a lot more of running the business, owning the business, and not as much in the day-to-day anymore. And I'm so grateful for the team of Dental A team that allows me to be in my sweet spot, the visionary role, to enjoy it and to allow them to be in their sweet spots. And this doctor and I, were chatting and he just said like, Keir, it's weird.   I don't even know what being a CEO looks like. And I have another doctor and he said, Garrett, it's so weird to go from being clinical all the time to working on the business, but it's so fun to work on the business and to be the CEO that can look. And as I was talking to the doctor this morning, they're thinking about doing a DSO and wondering what they want to do with that. And he's just like, you know, I don't even know. So we started talking and we were rattling off all these things. And he was like, that's what I need to be doing as a CEO. That's why I need to have the time not in the chair is so that way I can.   I can drive this business in the direction it needs to go. And so again, today's podcast is not to say that you need to step away from the chair. As you can see, there's one client who is completely out of the chair. There's another client who works one or two days clinically. Myself, I still do ⁓ a day of consulting and then I still do podcasting and I do the things that light my fire that I still enjoy doing. But there's a path of how do you get there? And it was kind of like when I used to be a treatment coordinator and a dental assistant and I became an office manager and I'm like,   I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. All of these are different layers. I almost want you to think kind of like the wifi symbol. Like you just, you go through different layers and it's different identities. And it's kind like you pop through and you look around and like, don't even recognize this neighborhood. Like I don't even recognize the neighborhood of CEOs. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of working two days of clinical. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of where my leadership team does the bulk of all the pieces that I'm doing. Like I don't actually have to do the hiring and firing anymore. I don't have to do all the one-on-ones anymore.   you pop your head up into a different neighborhood and it's a loss of identity and it's a taking on of a new identity and it's a morphing. I remember talking about this, gosh, this is like in the archives of podcasts. If you wanna go look, go to TheDentalATeam.com, click on podcasts and type in like sloughing and snake and you'll probably find it. But I talked about this years and years ago of how when you evolve from being this operator to this owner, it's kind of like a snake and you have to like literally like slough off.   the old version of you to allow space to become the version that you need to be. And so just kind of going through like, what does it even look like? And if I wanted to, or just maybe propose or think about, because I always believe like the more knowledge you have and the more, I think vision or maybe just like thought, right? Like I never even thought about it. Like I never even thought that my practice could make a hundred thousand. Like what if it made 200,000 a month or what if it made 300,000 or.   There's a practice doing 550 a month or there's a practice who's literally doing a million a month. I have an office that like all their offices are producing. They've got multi offices and they're producing between 350 and 450 a month. Every one of their offices. And I say this not for you to compare and to beat yourself up and say like, my gosh, I'm not even there, Kiera, I'm only doing 30,000. I want all of us just to say there are other neighborhoods, there are other visions. And I wanted today to just show a picture.   And then you get to pick up whatever you want or don't want from this vision. There is no right you have to get here. It's just, I want to show you and paint a picture in case you're thinking about it. So that way you look at life, look at your practice, look at your decision-making differently at whatever stage you are in your business. So there's no judgment. There's no expectation. That's something I love about Dental A Team is I've got clients that are producing 7,000 a month and I've got clients that are producing, oh gosh, like 1.2 to 2 million a month.   It's insane. I've got clients that are at 80 % overhead. Don't worry, they're brand new. All the way down to a 35 % overhead. All of us are in different journeys, we're on different paths, we have different priorities. And there's not a one size fits all in Dental A Team. It is a one size fits you. And then let's just make sure that we expand your knowledge base. That way you're making decisions educated rather than placed upon you. So step one, as you're kind of shifting into this role, is going to be...   shifting from doing to delegating. And this is something where I think as founders, as owners, myself included, we build the, like we've built this so we know how to do all the pieces and it's very hard to let go. The CEO builds the machine, they don't run every part of it. And so really thinking about that, like your job is to build the vision, your job is to do these bigger partnerships, your job is to build the culture, to be the lighthouse on the hill, but not the one rowing the boat. And so,   The way we do this is kind of like a time audit. So we write down every single thing that we're doing and we look to see who could do this 80 % as well as I can that we could delegate. And there's ⁓ in some of our other podcasts and on our summit and in some of our things, we talk about a delegation ladder. And basically we like look at administrative tasks and scheduling tasks and TC tasks and then all the way up to marketing and leadership tasks. And so how can we start to delegate these tasks out? And so you're not doing them all.   And then what we do is we have leads and we have scorecards and we have ⁓ decision pieces to help people understand what decisions they can or can't make. And what happens is when doctors start to let go of this, empower their team without letting go, so they're still in the reins, they're then able to work on growth and strategy and you're able to build the vision. You're able to have the time to go to those big networks. Like the doctor here, like Kiera, all the people you told me like, that's why I need to go make phone calls with. making those phone calls are big decisions for the business.   don't happen between patients and they're not happening after hours. They can, but when you really do shift from this, it's crazy because you start to actually have the time, the bandwidth, the depth, the breadth to be able to even think in this way. And so my suggestion is like whether you want to become this CEO that's owning the business rather than operating the business, I want you to truly look at this to see what's one task that you could delegate or even do a dump. Like this is how I first learned that I needed to hire a personal assistant.   I did a dump and I looked at every single thing on there and I like took a pink highlighter and we're like, what are the that only Kiera can do? And I realized that my list are like three out of like 50 that truly were only things that I could do. I just was obsessed with doing it. People are like, but Kiera, you let someone book your travel. You better freaking believe I let someone book my travel. I don't even know where I'm going half the time. Can I still do it if I had to? Yes. But is there someone who can do it way better than I can and can also help me have time to do other things that they can't do?   The answer is yes. So I want you to just like look to see what are you doing all the time that maybe you could delegate. Start there. This is for CEO or non-CEO. This is for every single team member, business owner out there. Dentist is literally do an audit and see what we can delegate, what we can shift to make sure that we're optimizing ourselves in the best way possible. And then number two is going to be ⁓ the CEO's job is to   literally set up the one, three, 10 year vision of the company. It is to set the culture. It is to make sure that you're evolving it. And so what you're doing is you're helping your team rally around these one, three, 10 year goals. And then we use our weekly meetings to align on those goals rather than like being constantly on fires. Like truly, there was a team I was working with and I'm like, okay, we're talking in fire land all day because we have no clue where we're going.   We're just walking in the desert with no destination. And so you have a vision for your team and you're just constantly harping on that. And so what happens is like as a CEO dentist, what you start to do is you start to do vision. We run this off of traction as my preferred method by Gina Wickman. And you start to set then quarterly meetings and weekly meetings where we're focused on this bigger vision rather than on the fire. So you really go from like,   I don't know, like head in the sand almost and like trying to just figure it out to like, where are we headed? What are the biggest issues? Like that practice, were walking around in the desert with no destination. We gave them a destination. There's still all these fires, but we can then prioritize which things need to get done this quarter and actually start to move the boulders, move the practice, move the progress ⁓ without it just being, I don't know. just, like, I use a really great analogies. It's just a like,   we're focusing on goals rather than on fires. We're going about priorities rather than like just in the minutia. And so when you start to shift this out and the way to have this is like, my question to you is what is your one year goal? What is your three year goal? What is your 10 year goal? Does your team know this? Do you know this? And I don't care what they are. There's no right or wrong, but we start to have it to where we're building it this way. We're moving in this direction. We're not moving in a, it's like a swirl when your head's   like walking in the desert, right? You're just swirling around. You don't know if you've made progress. You don't know if you're going forward or going backwards to where there's a lighthouse. There is a direction. We're moving in that way. And without that teams feel very lost. And so you start to move in that where you're, that's your focus. And then you have your meetings and you get all your departments going and they have department leads that are running them. They're all in line with the vision. And your job is to keep expanding this vision, to expand the pieces. And that does not necessarily mean expanding more practices.   but it's expanding the vision of your location of what you're doing. And then number three is ⁓ there's scalable systems in place that are not dependent upon you. And so what it is is there's consistency. So we've got consistent new patient exams, we've got consistent treatment planning, we've got consistent marketing, we've got consistent ⁓ billing and AR, we've got consistent hygiene protocols, we've got consistent room setups for all of our dental assistants, we've got consistent onboarding for associate dentists.   All of our associates are doing the same type of dentistry. And you really have these scalable systems that are in place, not necessarily put by you, but are guided by you. And so you've got these key players. So when you become the CEO, you've got to also have key players. So you've got an incredible office manager or regional manager. You usually have a personal assistant or executive assistant that's with you. You have your hygiene lead. You've got your dental assistant lead. You might even have a marketing team, depending upon if it's outsourced or internal. ⁓   But those are the players at the table. You have a clinical doctor at the table. And so we have these scalable systems where they're constantly able to be able to have the same results without the effort of needing to recreate it every single time. Like I remember Tiff and I, when we would bring on new hires, it was like, gosh, like build a new thing and build a new thing. And I was like, no.   we have onboarding documents, we've got videos, we've got the way we do it. And there's still so much autonomy within all of it. But these are systems to where at a $1 million practice up to a $20 million that these can scale. So like the way you onboard at 1 million versus the way you onboard at 20 million will be very different. And I just want you to see like, this is where we actually can assess, we can grow, we can evolve. And we've got these scalable systems. I recommend two times a year that you actually assess them. So we look at   What's our operations manual? What's our onboarding? How are those? we need to change them? Do we need to adapt them? Do we need to morph them? And so this is where we start to build it out. This is where operations manuals become very paramount because as a CEO dentist, your job is to delegate more. So you've got more time to vision. You lead with that vision and you help make sure all your leads know where they're going. They're leading and empowering their team. And I have this quote over here by Gandhi that says, a sign of a good leader is not how many followers you have, but how many leaders you create.   So as a CEO who stepped out of clinical dentistry and you're now owning the business, you're creating, you're delegating, you are leading with vision and having your ⁓ leaders in your practice and everything is systematized. Like literally everything is systematized and automated as much as possible to where the business really is running whether you're there or not. And that's the true thing. Can I remove you?   Keep the vision, so your job is to keep the vision, but I take you out, slide you out, and you're not there for a month, for two months? And would the business still perform? Would the quality care and the patient care still be as optimal? Would the billing and the overhead and the accounting, would those all work, whether you're there or not? And if we lost a key player, could we replace them with another key player and it would still run? This is how you start to create a business rather than a job. This is how you start to have team members that know   how to scale and how to evolve and how to help and serve more patients with the same quality of care that you've set up. This is where it's no longer dependent upon you being a part and like having your hands in every single pot to make sure everything's going because the pots get too big. There's too many pots for you to be able to handle. And so whether you want to become the CEO visionary owner or you want to just have less like dependent upon you, these are very tangible and tactical for you today right now where you are.   So this is where it's like, if I'm exhausted and I'm tired of running on fumes and I would prefer to have more time in the visionary role and less time in the doing role, that doesn't, again, it doesn't mean that it's wrong. It just means that you're morphing. Like again, we're popping through a new neighborhood, a new vision, a new level for you. Then this is where we just, we choose one of these things or something in all the areas and we start to implement small little changes.   that start to make big changes over time. They say the days are long, but the years are fast. And so how can we start to put little things into place to help you scale, scale your impact, scale your bandwidth, scale your time and help empower other people that are going to be able to scale right along with you. So this is a sign for you to just think a little bit differently, to start looking at the broader vision, the bigger vision, the what could be possible, and then start to put things into place today.   I do not care what your vision is. do not care what you want to do. I do not care any of those things. Whatever your vision is, is perfect for you. I just wanted to paint a picture of what could be. What are other people doing? What are maybe some possibilities to where you start to think differently, you start to create differently, you start to hire differently, you start to train differently, you start to lead differently, you start to become the next best version of you because you knew you wanted to evolve into this. No person wants to be doing every single thing and burnt out and burnt to a crisp.   No person does. Everybody wants to feel balanced, feel satisfied, to feel happy, to feel growth. Growth equals happiness. And so evolving into the next version of you is something that I feel is very paramount for you and your team to do. So think about this, on this. This is maybe a sign to think differently. And for all of you out there, I hope that you're thinking differently. And if you need somebody to coach you, to guide you, to get your team on board, you're like, gosh, I like, don't want to be in the chair as much, but I don't know how to get my team on board with that. That's what we do.   This is what we're experts with. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We're happy to help you. And today I hope you just think a little bit differently. Maybe question a few things. What could I delegate? How could I look at this differently? Do I have a vision for my team? Do I have scalable systems? And if not, pick one or two that you can do. And as always, we're here to help you. We're rooting alongside of you because your ultimate vision is our ultimate. Like that's what we're passionate about. We want to help you get your ultimate vision.   So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

The Coming Wave: Why Cash PT Is Headed Toward National Consolidation In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a bold prediction for the next decade of cash-based physical therapy: the rise of the first nationwide cash PT brand. He explains why the market is primed for massive consolidation, how well-funded companies will change the competitive landscape, and what independent PTs must do now to protect their clinics and stay ahead. Quick Ask If this episode helps you think strategically about your business, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Let's help more PTs build resilient, future-proof practices. Episode Summary Documentation burnout: Notes are the #1 satisfaction killer for PTs—but AI scribes like Clair are changing that. The big prediction: A dominant, well-funded cash PT brand will emerge within 5–10 years. Why it's coming: Cash PT is a fragmented industry—making it ripe for consolidation. Parallel to CrossFit: Independent affiliates → OrangeTheory-style scaling. The MYO example: A clinically strong, business-savvy brand already expanding across North America. Funding accelerates growth: Capitalized clinics can outspend and outscale local competitors. The risk to small clinics: Owners who don't level up in business skills will be the first to get squeezed out. Lessons & Takeaways Strong brand identity matters: Your niche and reputation must be crystal clear. Community ties protect you: Local loyalty beats national branding when done right. Systems = survival: Without consistent processes, you can't compete with scaled clinics. Capital changes the game: Funded competitors can move faster and spend more to dominate markets. Seven-figure clinics are the safe zone: Multiple clinicians = stability, hiring power, and insulation. Mindset & Motivation Control what you can control: You can't stop national brands, but you can out-serve them locally. Play offense, not defense: Staying tiny isn't safe—it's risky. Growth is protection: More clinicians = stronger brand, stronger community presence, and stronger cash flow. Embrace the opportunity: Rising interest in cash PT means a larger market for everyone. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Automate documentation: Use Clair to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and stay patient-focused. Dial in your niche: Own a specific population so deeply that national chains can't replicate you. Invest in brand building: Your logo, message, and community presence matter more than ever. Master sales & marketing: Cash PT requires top-tier communication and value clarity. Train your team relentlessly: Quality control keeps your outcomes consistent across clinicians. Notable Quotes "Any fragmented industry eventually consolidates. Cash PT is no different." "If you stay tiny because you think it's safe, you're actually more vulnerable than ever." "A national cash PT brand will sell for nine figures—or more. The momentum is already here." "Your community, your niche, your service—those are your moats." Action Items Audit your brand: is it recognizable, niche-specific, and memorable? Evaluate your systems: documentation, scheduling, marketing, and sales. Assess your growth plan: is staying small really safe for the next decade? Study fast-scaling companies like MYO to understand future competition. Start using an AI scribe like Clair to free up hours of mental bandwidth.

Have you ever noticed old messages about money, morality, or success still lingering—long after you've left a faith community or belief system that once shaped your world? In this episode, I sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Emily Maynard to explore how growing up in or leaving a high-control religious environment can deeply influence your relationship with money. We talk about how these systems teach people—often from childhood—to view money through a moral lens: poverty as virtue, wealth as greed, or sacrifice as proof of goodness. For therapists who grew up in these spaces, those lessons can make it especially difficult to set boundaries, charge appropriately, or believe that rest and success are safe. Emily brings such grounded insight to this conversation. Together, we unpack what defines a high-control religion—not as a specific theology, but as a structure of control, shame, and rigidity that can leave lasting marks on how we see ourselves, our worth, and what we deserve. Healing Money Shame for Therapists with Religious Trauma Histories This episode is for you if you've ever wrestled with feeling selfish for wanting more stability, questioned your right to rest, or found yourself hustling to “earn” worthiness. (00:06:17) Religion Shapes Early Views on Money (00:09:31) Subtle Conditioning in Belief Systems (00:10:37) Healing After Leaving a Group (00:15:41) Sustainability in Healthcare Messaging (00:17:18) Money, Morality, and Control (00:23:16) Building a Sustainable Healing Practice (00:27:03) Money, Religion, and Belonging Breaking Free from Money Shame Rooted in High Control Religious Backgrounds Emily shares what she sees in her work with clients recovering from religious trauma: the body's lingering responses to old patterns, even years after intellectually moving on. We also explore how healing involves learning to make your own choices, rewriting your “job description” in private practice, and creating boundaries that allow sustainability without guilt. Here are a few action steps you can take toward breaking free: Notice the messages you absorbed early on. What stories about money, morality, or sacrifice still influence your financial decisions today? Practice autonomy with compassion. Try writing your own “job description” for private practice. What would feel fair, sustainable, and ethical for you? Challenge inherited shame. When guilt or fear shows up around charging for your work or taking rest, remind yourself: You are allowed to be well. Build new financial safety. Explore ways to connect money with care, not control—so your business can reflect your current values, not your old programming. If you've ever questioned your relationship with money after growing up in faith-based or high-control environments, this episode will help you begin healing the shame, rebuilding trust in yourself, and crafting a business that feels both grounded and free. Get to Know Emily Maynard: Emily Maynard is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. She works with adults with trauma, particularly religious trauma and high control religion backgrounds. Emily has a small private practice and is certified in EMDR.

Bret Bielema addressed the media and discussed OC Barry Lunney's potential as a head coaching candidate. We share your reactions. Brad Underwood also met with the media and gave an injury report update before tomorrow night's game against Alabama at the United Center. Who's in and who's out?  It was Field Trip Day at State Farm Center for Illini Women's Basketball and it was LOUD! How crazy did the kids get when the Illini scored "67?" It was over 110 decibels! And an interesting conversation takes off after a texter wants to know "Why don't the Illini practice at State Farm Center?"

In today's episode, I'm sharing something deeper than routine, mindset work, or the perfect morning ritual. We're talking about spiritual integrity — not as something you do, but as a way you live. After returning from an incredibly activating weekend in Chicago and sitting in a full-day immersion with my teacher yesterday, I found myself cracked open, expanded… and completely exhausted in the best way. It reminded me that the real practice isn't what happens on the meditation pillow — it's what happens in the moments after. Inside this episode, we explore: Why so many leaders separate spiritual life and business life The hidden cost of spiritual disconnection, even when strategy is strong The difference between ritual and true spiritual leadership What spiritual integrity looks like in real-world everyday moments How intentionality becomes your ultimate form of embodiment The 5 pillars that support spiritual leadership in business How to begin integrating this work without perfection, pressure, or performance If you've ever felt like you're doing "all the right practices" but something still feels misaligned, leaky, or energetically inconsistent — this episode is your reminder that your life is the ceremony, and your business is the expression.

Offering extensions can transform your average ticket, attract premium clients, and position you as an expert. In this episode I break down how to use "scholarship" (free-labor) installs to sprint your social proof, fill your portfolio, and raise prices with confidence, without giving away the store.

Free or low-cost installs are not "giving away time" — they're a strategic investment that builds your portfolio, confidence, and social proof. 2. Choose models intentionally; their hair, vibe, and reliability should match your dream client. 3. Always do an in-person consultation to assess density, texture, lifestyle, and realistic expectations. 4. Use model installs to capture strong content: videos, transformations, reactions, and movement shots. 5. Set clear expectations — free installs do not include free maintenance. 6. Outline deliverables for your model such as tags, testimonials, or specific content requirements. 7. Recommend the extension method that fits the client's hair and lifestyle, not just what you want to showcase. 8. Present your offer as a structured model call, not a giveaway. 9. Use the model period for testing, check-ins, and refining your technique and systems. 10. Limit freebies to maintain value and avoid attracting bargain-hunters. 11. Avoid models needing heavy color correction — it adds unpaid hours and unpredictable results. 12. Use team members as in-salon models to build credibility and visibility. 13. Start with a small beta group to gather feedback, testimonials, and repeat business. 14. Track long-term earnings — even a handful of models can generate thousands in yearly maintenance revenue. 15. Practice before launching publicly; confidence grows through private reps and real clients. 16. Streamline your technique — clients value efficient installs just as much as luxury experiences. 17. Avoid selecting models strictly through DMs; refusals to consult in person are red flags. 18. Remember: free installs are an intentional investment that fuel your launch, proof, and profitability.

Rewrite Your Inner Playlist with Susan Drumm and discover how music and mindset can break old patterns and elevate your leadership. Summary If you are ready to rewrite your inner playlist, here is the truth: if you are running an inner track of “I am not enough,” life will keep handing you proof that you are not enough. Until you change the track, nothing changes. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Susan Drumm, CEO advisor, speaker, and author, to explore how our unconscious patterns drive our leadership and lives and how we can disrupt them using something as simple and profound as music. Meet Susan Drumm Susan is the bestselling author of The Leaders Playlist and founder of Meritage Leadership. She has spent more than twenty years helping leaders identify the emotional patterns holding them back and replacing them with more empowering ones. She combines neuroscience, the Enneagram, and music to help leaders create new neural pathways and transition into more conscious leadership. Why Patterns Run the Show Susan explains that our patterns are not just habits. They are deeply grooved neural highways formed over time, often beginning in childhood. These patterns once protected us, but now they can keep us stuck, repeating the same behaviors even when we know they no longer serve us. The Enneagram becomes a powerful tool here because it focuses on why we do what we do. When leaders understand their underlying motivation, they stop reading everyone else through their own filter and start leading with clarity, empathy, and purpose. I share openly about my Type Three pattern of wanting to keep everyone comfortable and how this showed up in my marriage, my divorce, and my leadership. Awareness truly is the first act of liberation. Music as a Leadership Transformation Tool Susan's core method centers on the idea that music accelerates neuroplasticity, making it easier to break old emotional loops and build new ones. The process is simple and powerful: 1. Name your old playlist (e.g., “I am unworthy”). 2. Choose a pattern interrupt song that captures that old story. 3. Create a new playlist based on an “I am” statement you want to embody. 4. Practice being in that emotional state through movement and repetition. She shares a story of a high-achieving leader whose identity was completely tied to work. Through playlist work, he reclaimed his sense of freedom and took a six-week vacation for the first time. His company performed better without him micromanaging. Why This Matters for Leaders This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in familiar loops, triggered by the same dynamics, or ready to take full ownership of their inner world. When you change your internal playlist, you change your leadership. You change your relationships. You change your life. Key Takeaways • Your inner playlist shapes your external reality. • Patterns are neural pathways—once protective, now restrictive. • The Enneagram helps you understand motivation, not just behavior. • Music accelerates real emotional and leadership transformation. • Owning your triggers is an act of power, not blame. Mic Drop Moments 1. “If you are running a playlist of ‘I am not enough,' life will keep giving you evidence of that.” 2. “You built the cage—and you are holding the key.” 3. “You are not your title or success.
