Burnout in private practice doesn’t always look like exhaustion—it often hides behind a full caseload, strong boundaries, and a successful-looking schedule.

From the emotional load of being your own boss to the hidden risk of being fully booked, this conversation gets real about what it takes to run a practice that supports your life—not drains it.
