In this episode of The Culture Focused Practice Podcast, I’m diving into boundaries—the kind that actually stick and don’t make you feel like an asshole for having them. We’re talking about the biggest mistakes practice owners make (hint: being too damn available, absorbing everyone’s stress like a human sponge, and overworking because training people is exhausting).

I’ll break down time, emotional, decision, and communication boundaries—because “just say no” is bullshit advice if you don’t have a plan to back it up. Plus, we’ll cover how to handle pushback from your team without caving (or losing your damn mind).

Bottom line? You can’t run a thriving practice if you’re running yourself into the ground. Let’s fix that.
