In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest myths about private practice: that you'll never be able to take a vacation.

I share how I've actually taken more time off as a practice owner than I did when I was employed, and discuss the planning, systems, and communication strategies that make it possible.

Whether you're building an insurance-based, membership, cash-pay, in-person, or telemedicine practice, taking time away is possible. And it is important for long-term sustainability.

If you've been feeling buried in the details, this episode will help you zoom out and reconnect with your why.

In this episode, I discuss one of the most important office policies to establish before you open your practice: your no-show policy.

We cover what should count as a no-show, whether to charge fees, how to handle repeat offenders, rescheduling rules, and the importance of applying the policy consistently.

Whether you're building an in-person, telemedicine, insurance-based, or cash-pay practice, having a clear plan in place can help protect your schedule and create a better experience for both patients and staff.
