When the excitement of launching a practice wears off and the messy middle begins, many new entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed with what feels like an insurmountable journey ahead. I talk about how to break this large task in to smaller achievable actions, and the short list of must-do items in building a practice.

In this episode of It’s Not Just You, I’m joined by Dr. Jen Williams, an OB/GYN who is stepping away from a successful 24-year practice to launch a micropractice focused on perimenopause and menopause care. Dr. Williams is a Micropractice Mastermind participant in the messy middle of leaving her practice and launching a practice for the care of menopausal women.

Dr. Williams' story is one of deep integrity, clarity, and rebellion against a system that no longer aligns with how she wants to show up for her patients or herself. We talk about the challenges of doing things differently, the pushback from well-meaning people, and what it looks like to trust your gut even when the path forward isn’t fully mapped out.

Join us as we discuss:

• How she knew it was time to make a major career pivot
• The moment a corporate training exercise became her “no more” breaking point
• Why she’s choosing to slow down and intentionally wait before launching
• The mental load and emotional labor of building something new while still practicing medicine
• The importance of having a supportive community that believes in this kind of change

Dr. Williams brings wisdom, humor, and honesty to this conversation. Her passion for helping women navigate midlife is exactly what the world needs more of. You can find her on her website and Instagram.
