Ep. 121 - Why It Feels Riskier to Scale Your Practice | The Truth About Playing It Safe, Building Wealth, and Thinking Bigger
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.

Ep. 118 - The Truth About Big Revenue Dreams (and What They Don’t Fix)
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...

In this episode, I’m unpacking 15 warning signals for why your mindset and leadership capacity have to evolve faster than your growth.
