335: Fire Yourself From These Tasks: A Business Reset With NeuroBiz Coach Emily Duval Ledge

Sep 14, 2026

What tasks do you keep doing in your business that you secretly hate? In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, talk with returning guest and favorite NeuroBiz coach Emily Duval Ledger about the reflective milestones of her 20-year entrepreneurial journey — from leaving her full-time job, to closing her brick-and-mortar gym during COVID, to running a leaner, more sustainable solo practice today. The conversation moves through the martyrdom trap so many clinician-business-owners fall into, how to actually trust a virtual assistant or new hire with work you've always done yourself, and the emotional nuance of transitioning long-term one-on-one clients to other team members without them feeling abandoned. Emily closes with a challenge born out of a personal practice of pausing before volunteering for anything: identify at least two things you can fire yourself from, and notice how much better you get at the few things you keep. Listeners will feel seen and inspired to take a new path toward freedom in your business rather than working a job you’d never sign up for if it weren’t your own business.
