If the thought of running a practice makes you think, “I don’t want to be responsible for everything,” you’re not alone.

In this Thursday Shift, we’re reframing what responsibility actually means in private practice — and why ownership doesn’t equal doing every task yourself.

You’ll learn how to shift from “I have to carry it all” to “I get to design the system,” plus three practical ways to lighten the load through systems, delegation, and clarity in your role.

Listen for a quick mindset reset that will help you see leadership not as a burden, but as freedom.

Today on Physicians Hanging a Shingle, I’m joined by Dr. Latifat Akintade—gastroenterologist, founder of MoneyFitMD, and host of the MoneyFitMD podcast. Dr. Latifat has helped many physicians create healthier relationships with money, build wealth with intention, and step into financial confidence… and she brings that wisdom straight to us in this episode.

If you’re a physician preparing to open your own practice or already navigating early ownership, this conversation is packed with clarity, encouragement, and practical tools.

We cover:

• The essential money mindset shift every new practice owner should make
• Why fear-based financial decisions sabotage growth—and what to do instead
• The simple financial systems to put in place from day one
• How to keep your personal and business finances clean, separate, and healthy

Whether you’re months away from opening your doors or still in the dreaming stage, this episode will help you build a strong financial foundation for the practice you’re creating.

If you’ve ever thought, “What if I leave my job, start my own practice… and just burn out all over again?” — you’re not alone.

In this Thursday Shift, we’re talking about why that fear is completely valid — and why this time can be different.

You’ll learn what really causes burnout, how private practice gives you control over the system you work in, and three practical ways to protect your time and energy as you build.

Because this isn’t about escaping medicine — it’s about building a version of it that actually supports you.

Listen now for a mindset shift that will help you build your dream practice without burning out in the process.
