Summer Strategies: Navigating Family and Clinic Schedules

"I have my head in the sand and this is the worst planned summer yet." — Anna Rudel

Today, Anna and Kendall tackle the universal summer challenge faced by wellness practice owners who are also parents: how to manage both clinic schedules and family responsibilities during the lengthy school break.

"I think we have 12 weeks, which by my estimations is a quarter of a year," Anna notes about summer break, highlighting the significant planning challenge this represents for business owners with children.

With characteristic honesty, both hosts admit they're behind on summer planning this year. Kendall shares her family's spreadsheet approach to organizing camps and grandparent support, while Anna discusses the particular challenges of having a 13-year-old who has "aged out of most camps" but isn't old enough to be a counselor or drive independently.

The conversation extends naturally to clinic management during summer months, with both hosts sharing their policies about practitioner time off. They discuss the financial implications of multiple providers taking paid time off simultaneously and strategies for managing these scheduling complexities.

"Having multiple practitioners out that are taking paid time off, that's something else that needs planning for, isn't it?" Anna observes, highlighting a key business consideration.

The hosts share practical tools like VacationTracker.io for managing time-off requests and discuss their quarterly check-in systems for preventing burnout. This authentic discussion offers both validation and practical strategies for wellness practitioners balancing the dual demands of parenting and business ownership during the challenging summer months.
