2025: A Year of Growth and Connection at Thriving Practice
As we step into 2025, I'm filled with gratitude reflecting on our journey together. 2025 marks my 15th year since taking the leap into entrepreneurship, and what a journey it's been.
The Journey Here
My coaching journey began in 2010, sparked by recurring suggestions from friends and colleagues that I should consider becoming a coach. As a newly single mom balancing career aspirations with raising two young children, I took a strategic approach - first hiring a professional coach myself to clarify my path forward.
When my first client hired me, I knew I'd made the right choice. Alongside coaching and consulting, I've facilitated leadership workshops for diverse organizations, from one of the largest school districts in the country to legal and tech firms, honing the skills that now benefit our practice owner community.
While I've worked with various highly credentialed business owners throughout my career, healthcare providers have always resonated deeply with our mission. Their unique challenges – balancing clinical excellence with business leadership – aligned perfectly with my background in operations and growth strategy. In early 2022, we made the pivotal decision to focus exclusively on independent practice owners, and later that year, rebranded our podcast to create what Thriving Practice Community has become.
What's New in 2025
Building on the momentum of our community's success, this year brings exciting changes to our podcast. January and February kick off with the "Overachievers Intensive" - twice-weekly episodes diving deep into essential topics from legal considerations to revenue cycle management. Starting March, we'll return to our weekly rhythm while adding bi-monthly "snack" episodes - unscripted conversations with our Operations Manager, Miranda Dorta, offering behind-the-scenes insights into how we help clients achieve 10-20X ROI within 18 months.
This year's content strategy responds directly to community feedback:
Weekly 30-minute episodes fitting busy schedules
The Overachievers Intensive matching your new year momentum
More peer stories translating theory into actionable strategies
Unscripted episodes surfacing valuable practical insights
As we enter our fifth year, our mission remains unchanged: guiding practices toward sustainable growth that energizes rather than depletes. Because survival isn't enough - life is meant to be celebrated.
Join Our Global Community of Practice
The Thriving Practice Community is built on years of listening and learning. Through extensive surveys with independent practice owners and continuous feedback from our podcast listeners and clients, we've identified the key challenges that keep talented providers from reaching their full potential: isolation in decision-making, lack of business operations expertise, and the struggle to balance clinical excellence with business leadership.
In response, we've created an ecosystem that addresses these specific pain points. Our community combines:
Expert business consulting tailored to healthcare practices
Interactive workshops that transform theory into action
Executive coaching to support your leadership journey
Peer connections that combat the isolation of practice ownership
A comprehensive resource library built from real-world success stories
We've connected with practice owners across 30+ countries, from the United States to Australia, each bringing unique perspectives while sharing common challenges. This diversity enriches our community's knowledge base, while our structured approach ensures every member receives the individual attention they need to thrive.
Founding member doors are open until February 14th, offering access to our resource library, live sessions, and collaborative platform. We're thoughtfully structuring quarterly enrollment to maintain our commitment to white-glove support for each member.
The Dream Team Making It Happen
Bringing ambitious visions to life requires an exceptional team, and I'm incredibly fortunate to work alongside these talented individuals who make everything possible:
Miranda Dorta, our Operations and PR Manager, is the driving force behind our seamless execution and white-glove service to our clients, members, and podcast guests. Her expertise in streamlining complex processes while maintaining the human touch in our relationships has been instrumental in our growth.
Ciara Fabian brings our content to life as our Research Assistant and creative tech genius. She not only conducts deep analysis of practice trends but also elevates our podcast with compelling graphics, perfectly timed audio clips, and an expert eye for highlighting the most valuable insights for our audience.
Aaron Gold, our CFO, brings the perfect balance of strategic vision and financial acumen. His expertise in healthcare finance helps our clients make confident decisions while ensuring our own ambitious growth plans remain sustainable.
Together, our dream team brings diverse expertise and shared commitment to our mission of liberating practice owners from the exhausting cycle of working in their business rather than on it. Their dedication enables our clients and members to step confidently into their CEO role, creating space for strategic growth while reclaiming their time and energy.
Your Practice's Future Starts Here
What sets thriving practices apart isn't just their revenue growth – it's their foundation of operational excellence, team stability, and strategic vision. Our community members consistently achieve:
Sustainable business growth without sacrificing work-life balance

A legacy-worthy practice that serves their community and holds real value
Here, you'll find peers who understand your challenges, celebrate your wins, and share insights that can save you years of trial and error. From solo practitioners to multi-location practices, every member contributes to and benefits from our collective wisdom.
As we enter our fifteenth year in operation and fifth year in podcasting, our mission remains clear: guiding practices toward sustainable growth that energizes rather than depletes. Because building a thriving practice isn't just about survival – it's about creating something meaningful that serves your community while supporting the life you envision.
