Episode notes

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right on the outside—the successful practice, the growth, the reputation—but you're running on fumes on the inside?

Today, we are joined by Emily Heird, a performance strategist who hit a major burnout wall while running a multi-site practice and chose to rebuild using the mental fitness principles of elite athletes instead of traditional self-care.

We dive deep into

  • Why viewing your biggest business obstacles as "challenges" rather than "stresses" changes your entire physiological response,
  • How to shift from a local to a virtual business for true location freedom, and
  • Why your "why" is the ultimate fuel for long-term growth.

If you are a professional or entrepreneur feeling called to move beyond your current business plan and reclaim your time, this conversation is for you. Listen in with me, LeAnn Lyon, your Chief Joy Officer, and then check the show notes for Emily’s links, summit details, and that coffee we kept talking about so you can keep building a joyful, sustainable life and business
