Be Decisive: How Jenn Perna Built a 2-Location Practice (With 4 Kids at Home)

Most business owners think they need more certainty before making big decisions. Jenn Perna built her practice by doing the opposite. She started with a mobile practice, transitioned to brick and mortar, opened a second location, and grew to a 7-clinician, 2-location cash practice. All while raising four young kids… and taking two maternity leaves along the way. In this episode, we talk about: * Why being decisive matters more than being right * How to trust yourself to handle whatever comes next * What it actually looks like to grow a practice as a parent * And how to build a business that reflects exactly who you are — and who you’re for Jenn is one of the most authentic business owners we know, a Rising coach, and someone we’re proud to call a friend. This is a powerful conversation about ownership — in business and in life.

Tailbone Pain: What We’ve Been Getting Wrong with Dr. Patrick Foye

Tailbone pain is one of the most misunderstood — and underdiagnosed — conditions we see. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Foye, one of the leading experts in coccyx pain, to break down what clinicians are missing and how we can do better. We cover: * Why tailbone pain is rarely a fracture (and what it usually is instead) * The concept of dynamic instability — and why it’s often missed  *  How to think about imaging (and why sit-to-stand X-rays matter) *  Red flags you actually need to worry about *  How injections and pelvic rehab can work together, not separately *  And why collaboration is the key to better outcomes This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt unsure treating coccyx pain — or if your patients aren’t getting better the way you’d expect. About Dr. Patrick Foye Dr. Patrick Foye is a leading expert in non-surgical treatment of tailbone pain and Director of the Coccyx Pain Center at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He is the author of Tailbone Pain Relief Now! and has published extensively while teaching and lecturing internationally.

Stop Chasing Letters - Certificates in Pelvic Health

Will getting another certification actually make you a better clinician? Or just give you more letters after your name? In this episode, we tackle one of the most common questions we hear — which certifications should I get? Because in pelvic health, there are a lot of options. And a lot of confusion. We break down what certifications really are… and what they’re not. At the end of the day, a certification is simply someone saying:  “You’re certified.” That’s it. We also talk about the uncomfortable truth — that many certifications are primarily a marketing tool. They’re designed to package courses together, increase completion, and yes… sell more education. That doesn’t make them bad. But it does mean we need to think about them differently. We also dive into: • Why certifications don’t bring patients through the door • Why they won’t fix imposter syndrome • The difference between learning for growth vs. chasing letters • Why even the most recognized certifications don’t guarantee better clinical skills • How to actually choose the right con-ed for your career At the end of the day, the question isn’t: “What certification should I get?” It’s: “Would I take this if there were no letters attached?” About Us Nicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.

Offer Benefits To Appeal and Retain Your Team

Most smaller practice owners think they need to be “bigger” before they can offer real benefits. But that’s not actually true. In this episode, we break down what providing benefits as an employer really looks like — especially for small, growing pelvic health practices. Because benefits aren’t just about checking boxes. They’re about attracting the right people… and keeping them. We talk about the biggest misconception owners have — that benefits need to be expensive or complicated to matter. They don’t. In fact, some of the most meaningful benefits have very little to do with money. We also dive into: • What employees actually value (hint: it’s not always what you think)  • Why benefits are really a retention strategy, not just a hiring tool • How to think about flexibility, growth, and mentorship as benefits • Why you don’t need to offer everything — just a few things done really well • How your benefits reflect what you truly value as a business At the end of the day, your benefits send a signal. To your team. To future hires. And to the kind of business you’re building. If you’re an owner trying to grow your team — this episode will help you think about benefits in a completely different way. Free Training - Should I Be Running Ads?
