Here at Practice of the Practice, we know growth isn’t just about getting bigger, it’s about building a practice and a life that actually work together.
This month, Joe Sanok shares what it takes to grow from solo practice to group success, while also going behind the scenes of building Great Lakes Online Counseling, from systems and onboarding to delegation and workflows. Emily Pagone turns the mic around on Joe to explore perfectionism, urgency, and the inner critic behind entrepreneurship.
We’re also talking burnout, sustainable growth, and designing practices that support your life with Ari Gootnick and Dr. Marie Fang. Brandon Shurn dives into intentional growth at the Group Practice Conference and discusses why legal protection matters with Logan M. Hartz.
And on the personal side, Jennifer Froemel explores “Invisible Woman Syndrome” and what happens when women begin reclaiming their voice, visibility, and sense of self.
Whether you’re scaling, simplifying, or redefining success, there’s something here for you.
