Feeling stretched too thin in your practice? It might be time for boundaries and better systems.

In this episode of Practice Pursuit for Therapists, Rachel and Adrienne dive into two essential pillars of private practice success and burnout prevention: setting strong boundaries and learning to outsource smartly. These tools aren’t just about protecting your time—they’re the key to long-term sustainability and avoiding burnout.

Here’s what we cover:

🛑 The Power of Boundaries – Discover how setting clear, compassionate boundaries with clients, colleagues, and yourself can dramatically reduce stress and restore balance.

📤 Outsourcing Like a Pro – Learn how to identify what you don’t need to be doing, and how delegating tasks like admin, billing, or marketing can free up time for what really matters—clinical work and rest.

💡 Real Talk, Real Solutions – Rachel and Adrienne share personal stories and practical tips to help you take action, even if you’re just getting started.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply ready to run a more efficient practice, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you build a business that works for you.
