85. LEAVING THE CORPORATE PT WORLD: ARIEL’S STORY

In this episode, Ariel shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled in her corporate PT job to creating a business she truly loves. Frustrated by the limitations of insurance-based care and unable to find a job that aligned with her passion, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Ariel breaks down the steps she took to start her own practice, the mindset shifts that made the transition easier than expected, and why she believes more PTs should consider entrepreneurship. She also opens up about her biggest hesitations—financial uncertainty, legal complexities, and lack of mentorship—and how she overcame them by partnering with friend and business expert, Elise.
