Dr. Marisa opens her heart about a pattern many high-achievers know intimately - sacrificing the very things that make us feel alive in pursuit of business success. Through her story of returning to the gym after a two-year hiatus, she illuminates how singularly focusing on business growth led to an exhausting cycle of control, perfectionism and perpetual overwhelm. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa dive deep into the paradox of how loosening our grip on achievement often creates the very expansion we've been chasing.✨

Together they explore the nuanced difference between productive action and performative busyness, sharing powerful metaphors about watching seedlings grow and witnessing child development. Their conversation challenges the cultural narrative that constant consumption of self-improvement content leads to growth, offering instead a path back to trusting our innate wisdom. 🌱

Pull up a seat for this deeply honest conversation where Dr. Marisa opens her heart about the stark differences between building her first practice (which sold in record time) and the more intentionally-rooted growth of Homestead. Meanwhile, Dr. Sara vulnerably shares how childhood experiences shaped her relationship with safety, control, and money in business. Together, they unpack the messy truth about entrepreneurship in 2025. 💫

Real Talk Revelations: ✨

This isn't just another business strategy session - it's an honest exploration of finding your rhythm between structured goals and intuitive leadership. Whether you're growing a practice, scaling a business, or simply trying to find balance between planning and trust, this conversation reminds us that sometimes our greatest expansion comes when we loosen our grip and trust the process.
