In this short solo episode, I reflect on the accidental two-month hiatus from the podcast and the business lessons that came out of it. What started as two missed recording days—one due to website issues and another because of travel—turned into a helpful reminder about systems, perfectionism, transparency, and the power of restarting. I share what I learned, how it applies to running a clinical practice, and what’s coming up on the podcast over the next few weeks, including a full AI series and fresh interviews with fantastic guests.

Main Topics Covered

* Why the podcast unintentionally went on a two-month break

* How batching recordings works—until it doesn’t

* Lesson 1: Systems are only as strong as their weakest link

* Lesson 2: Perfectionism can be sneaky (and silence can be worse)

* Lesson 3: Life happens—transparency builds trust

* Lesson 4: The power of restarting after a break

* What’s next for the podcast: upcoming interviews and an AI series

* Personal reflections on travel, family, and the Crafted Practice Retreat

Cool Things Mentioned
