What does it really take to step out of burnout and into the CEO role of your practice, without sacrificing your family or freedom along the way? In this episode, I sit down with Megan Richert, owner of Bloom Maternal Therapy, to unpack her inspiring journey from solo therapist to thriving group practice leader. We dive into the mindset shifts, systems, and strategic decisions that helped her double her intakes, scale her team, and reclaim her time—all while still picking her kids up from school every day.
You'll hear how Megan went from feeling isolated in solo practice to confidently leading a team of nine, and how she built a business that thrives even when she steps away.
