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: ✨

• How tight control and "hawkish" behavior can actually stall abundance
• The surprising way Marisa's most profitable time came during her darkest season
• How visualization differs from control (and why it matters for results)
• Sara's powerful revelation about using money as a safety net instead of trusting life's flow
• The dance between necessary business strategy and intuitive leadership

Through raw stories and tender revelations, they challenge the hustle culture narrative that "more control equals more success." Instead, they offer a fresh perspective: What if our tightest grip on business goals is actually suffocating our highest potential?

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.
