CEO Conversations™: The Private Practice Podcast with Brandy Mabra

Let me 10x you for a second. If you hit seven figures and thought "this is it," you’re not alone. A lot of practice owners stop there, believing anything beyond feels too risky, too complicated, or too out of reach. But what if playing it safe is actually what’s keeping you stuck? In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason it feels riskier to scale than to stay small, and how to shift your mindset, leadership, and strategy to make scaling feel safer, smarter, and more sustainable. From building generational wealth to creating industry-shifting impact, I’m pulling back the...

CEO Conversations™: The Private Practice Podcast with Brandy Mabra

Let’s be honest… your practice can’t grow if your leadership stays the same. In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest blind spots I see as businesses scale: leadership becomes the constraint before you even realize it. I’m sharing what it looks like when your team outpaces your management skills, how to know if you’re stuck in survival mode (even if revenue is up), and why burnout is often a leadership problem in disguise. If you’ve been frustrated by your team, feeling stretched too thin, or stuck wondering why it’s still so hard, you need to hear this. Because at...

CEO Conversations™: The Private Practice Podcast with Brandy Mabra

You’ve probably thought it before: “If I could just hit $1M in revenue, everything would get easier.” But the truth is, revenue alone doesn’t solve chaos. It doesn’t fix broken systems, underperforming teams, or your exhaustion. In fact, more money can hide deeper problems… until it doesn’t.   In this episode, I’m breaking down the real KPIs that determine whether your practice is truly scalable, sellable, and sustainable. From profitability to team engagement to system flows, I lay out exactly what you need to monitor (and what to shift) to build a practice that actually...

CEO Conversations™: The Private Practice Podcast with Brandy Mabra

Let me be real with you: your leadership will become the constraint long before you realize it. I’ve seen it with my clients, and I’ve lived it myself. In this episode, I’m unpacking 15 warning signals for why your mindset and leadership capacity have to evolve faster than your growth. Because staying in the weeds, holding all the bags, or waiting for a crisis to force a shift, that’s what keeps your practice stuck. I’m sharing how I had to grow from leading a team of 3 to running operations across 20+ locations, and how the leadership and business skills that got me started...
