In episode 40, Gerda dives into one of the most common questions from private practice owners: What should your practice owner diary (or calendar) look like in order to shift from just surviving to thriving?

Drawing on her own love-hate relationship with scheduling, Gerda unpacks the real-life challenges of balancing productivity, boundaries, and freedom as a business owner.

• Private practice owners who feel overwhelmed by their calendar or struggle to find “balance.”
