E282 | Building a Business That Doesn’t Depend on Your Rescue with Emily Sadri

How do you build a business that doesn’t depend solely on you? What does truly sustainable scaling look like for women entrepreneurs? How can honoring your health and rhythms actually fuel your business growth? In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Emily Sadri, a women’s health nurse practitioner and entrepreneur, who shares her journey from burnout in clinical medicine to building a seven-figure practice spanning 16 states. Emily talks about the mindset shifts, experiments, and business model changes that helped her avoid burnout, enhance retention, and create more value for her clients. Together, we discuss evolving business strategies, the importance of relationships, resisting urgency in sales, and building a long-term membership model designed for both clients’ well-being and business sustainability. If you’re ready to scale your business in a way that feels aligned and supportive for both you and your clients, this episode is packed with actionable ideas and refreshing perspective.   "Remember the things that have always worked for centuries in business. Be a good human, focus on relationships, do the right thing and protect your energy." -           In this episode, we discuss Sustainable scaling versus growth at all costs Evolving business models to fit market needs Women's health and hormone care approaches Importance of retention over initial enrollment Ethical marketing and eliminating false urgency Trusting intuition over external business advice Prioritizing self-care for female entrepreneurs   Links https://aureliahealth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/emilysadri_np https://www.tiktok.com/@aureliahealthemily https://www.youtube.com/@aureliahealth   Founders: Are you ready to get out of the day-to-day operations of your business?
