The Grip Problem: What White-Knuckling Your Practice Is Really Costing You – A Special Snack Episode, EP 258

from Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski · host Tracy Cherpeski

What if the thing quietly holding your practice back isn't a systems problem or a staffing problem — but a grip problem? In this SNACK episode, Miranda Dorta turns the mic around and puts Tracy Cherpeski in the interview seat for an unscripted conversation about one of the most persistent patterns in healthcare practice ownership: holding on too tightly. Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Tracy draws on over 15 years of coaching experience to explore what white-knuckling actually looks like day-to-day, why it's especially hard for high-achieving clinicians to recognize, and what it really means to surrender — not as giving up, but as a powerful, active choice. She also shares a personal shift that changed the way she works with practice owners and created a surprising ripple effect in her clients' confidence and growth.  If you've ever felt like everything depends on you, this one is worth your next commute.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy’s LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page
