There is no recipe or rule book to start your dream practice.
Dr. Anna Dowling, an ObGyn, joins us for a second time. In this episode, she shares her journey building a dream solo practice called Birth Story Obstetrics.
Her first podcast episode is Episode 155. Become Your Future Self.
In this episode, she shares what she found helpful in manifesting a practice that is fun and meaningful. Key to her success was setting up a team of supporters and helpers - a coach, her spouse, and friends who believed in her.
What else was essential to her success?
A healthy mindset. She shares how her physician mindset made starting a dream practice even harder. The pre-work she did to learn to notice and begin to let go of catastrophizing, the desire for control, her scarcity mindset, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism were essential to her success. Learning to accept and not like uncertainty and to embrace unsettledness was also crucial. We also talk about the importance of optimizing your physiology and the power of both fun and “yet.”
Listen to hear some of the other powerful and unlikely tools for setting up a successful dream practice.
