"I do see that I can't maintain this pace anymore. And so I'm definitely finding myself sort of sitting back and letting others take over a little bit, which is really what I need to be doing." - Anna Rudel
Today, Anna and Kendall share recent updates from their wellness clinics, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the real challenges and triumphs of running holistic healthcare practices.
The conversation begins with Anna's hilarious yet relatable story about a morning alarm fiasco that highlights an important business lesson: the danger of creating different systems for ourselves versus our teams. This perfectly illustrates how even experienced business owners can fall into process-oriented pitfalls when not practicing what they preach.
"How many of us have been growing our practices from forever ago and have one rule for us and another rule for everybody else?" Anna reflects, pinpointing a common leadership blind spot.
Kendall counters with her own unexpected emergency—a surprise fire department visit that prompted important discussions about safety protocols and team training. These real-world scenarios emphasize the necessity of comprehensive safety planning in healthcare settings.
The hosts then dive into exciting business developments, with Anna celebrating the successful launch of her massage wing with "80% booked already" and Kendall sharing positive updates about team culture at Vancouver Wellness Studio. They discuss strategic hiring, community engagement through women's leadership conferences, and the importance of self-care for business owners.
Throughout the conversation, both leaders offer valuable insights on patient experience, team collaboration, and the constant evaluation needed when expanding alternative healthcare practices—all while maintaining the trust and elevated experiences their clients expect.
