The Hidden Cost of Growth: When “Success” Can Quietly Burn You Out | IP 188

It’s easy to think that once your practice is “working”… everything else will fall into place.

But what if success is actually where things fall apart - but in a quiet way you may miss?

Today, I’m joined by coach and author Emma Lagerlow to talk about what she calls the 5 Pillars of True Wealth — and why so many practice owners lose themselves right when things start going well.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

• Why even “doing well” in your practice can still leave you feeling tired & depleted.
• The 5 pillars of true wealth – and how they actually show up in real life...
• The most common place practice owners drift out of alignment. 🫣
• How burnout can sneak up on you — even when you love your work.
• Simple, practical ways to ground yourself and protect your energy - daily.

We’ll also talk about why self-care isn’t a luxury — that it is in fact one of the responsibilities of leadership – so you can build a practice that actually supports your life instead of taking it over!

If this episode stirred something for you — that moment of “yeah… something’s off” — don’t ignore it.

That’s often the point when healthy change (and real growth) begins.

And hey - if money, your capacity to serve, or the overall sustainability of your business are part of what’s feeling tight, I can help. Take a look at my mini-course, Mind Over Money™ — it’s one of the simplest ways to start getting your footing back. (And you’ll love the journal I’ve added to it!)

Breathe…. k?

P.S. You don’t need a total life overhaul. Emma and I talked about her “15 Minute Fix”. How about trying that first? :)
