Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski

What if burnout isn't really about overwork — and has more to do with being stuck at the wrong altitude? Join us for our upcoming Masterclass, Prevention Paradigm: Catching Burnout Before it Catches You. https://www.tracycherpeski.com/prevention-paradigm Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways. In this solo episode, Tracy introduces the Altitude Shift: the skill of moving, on purpose, between zoomed-in execution and zoomed-out vision. It's the practice that sharpens your decisions, protects you from burnout, and keeps you connected to the reason you built your practice in the first place. You'll hear the story of Dr. M — a thriving solo practice owner who couldn't remember the last time she wasn't in firefighting mode. Tracy shares the two altitudes, why most bad decisions come from the wrong one, and a simple audit you can use before any significant choice. She also gets into the neuroscience of why slowing down isn't optional — and the daily practices she architects into her own life to keep the horizon in view. If you've been running on will power, feeling reactive, or sensing that you've lost the thread of what you're building — this episode is for you. Is your practice growth-ready?

With acquisition offers arriving, reimbursement cuts looming, and colleagues selling, a lot of practice owners are quietly asking: is staying independent even worth it? In this SNACK episode, Miranda Dorta sits down with Tracy Cherpeski to get her unfiltered take on that question. See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways. Tracy shares her framework for helping practice owners separate burnout from a genuine readiness to sell—and why making a major life decision from a place of exhaustion or fear is never the right move. She talks about what independent ownership actually gives providers that a hospital employment contract can't, why cash reserves and a 12-month plan are non-negotiable right now, and what due diligence looks like if selling really is the right path. Tracy also opens up about the personal story behind her mission—her daughter's health journey and the independent provider who changed everything—that explains why this work is more than professional for her.
