How to move through shame and self-doubt as a clinic owner
Description
Every clinic owner faces a season where things don’t feel perfect. But why do so few talk about it?
In this episode of Radio Front Desk, Denzil sits down with psychotherapist and clinic owner Roxanne Francis to talk about what it’s really like to run a clinic when things don’t feel as perfect as they look.
Roxanne opens up about facing shame, comparison, and the pressure to appear put-together as she navigated growing a business. But she also opens up about how she found her footing again.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to recognize and release the pressure to “have it all together” as a clinic owner
- Why shame and comparison thrive in silence, and how to bring them into the light
- What professional vulnerability looks like (and how to practice it safely)
- Why your relationship with money is emotional, and how to rebuild trust with it
