from Ren: Behind the Practice · host Ren Wellbeing

A behind-the-scenes conversation about the tension between building the business you ultimately want and doing what it takes to build a sustainable practice first.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tamar Shtrambrand, a clinical psychologist who built her private practice alongside a full-time hospital career before transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship. We talk about balancing purpose with practicality, building momentum through referrals and networking, and why sustainable growth often looks different than the vision we start with.What we explored:• Why building momentum often comes before building your ideal business model• The role of timing and market demand in growing a practice• Expanding beyond one-to-one work through speaking and education• The realities of work-life balance as a solopreneur and parent• Why purpose alone isn't enough to build a sustainable businessBuilding a meaningful practice requires more than passion. It asks us to balance vision with practicality, trusting that today's foundations make tomorrow's opportunities possible.Dr. Shtrambrand's links:→ Website: https://testherapy.com/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1arnHYBm6d/?mibextid=wwXIfr Sophie's links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍
