About this episode

Tracy discusses the shortcomings of self-care checklists in preventing burnout for practice owners and emphasizes the need for structural changes.

Tracy breaks down why the self-care checklist approach misses the mark, how practice ownership compounds burnout risk in ways that employed providers rarely face, and why real prevention is a structural decision — not just a personal one. She also shares where most practice owners skip the prevention work that costs them the most long-term, and what to do right now if you’re already in the thick of it.
