Summary

In this solo episode, Tracy Cherpeski names what most providers already feel but rarely say out loud: the conditioning that made you extraordinary in the clinic may also be what’s driving your burnout. She breaks down why early-stage burnout looks nearly identical to excellence, what it costs the practice when the leader is operating from last place, and what genuine sustainability actually looks like in a thriving independent practice.
