Goal Setting for 2026 — Diversify Your Portfolio

Most goal-setting focuses on one or two areas of life — usually work and maybe health — and then we wonder why things feel off balance by February. In this first episode of 2026, we’re sharing the framework we teach every year in our business programs, but one that applies just as much if you work for someone else: Diversify your goal-setting portfolio. Before you set career or business goals, we walk through other areas that matter just as much — and often get overlooked: * Relationships * Fun and enjoyment * Personal finances * Health and wellness * Career or business We share real examples from our own lives — what we’re prioritizing, what we’re not prioritizing, and why sustainable goals matter more than aggressive ones that collapse by mid-January. This episode is about creating goals that actually support the life you want — not just another list of things to chase.

Crafting Your 2025 Narrative: Fighting Negativity Bias & Giving Yourself Credit

As the year wraps up, it’s tempting to jump straight into planning what’s next — without ever stopping to reflect on what just happened. In this episode, we talk about why crafting a clear narrative for your year is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for preventing burnout, building perspective, and entering the next season grounded instead of reactive. We explore: * Why high performers default to focusing on what didn’t go well * How negativity bias distorts your view of the year * The clinical parallel between helping patients make sense of their story — and doing the same for yourself * Why even experienced CEOs struggle to give themselves credit * Our one-sentence narrative for 2025, shaped by becoming a family of four while expanding our impact in pelvic health * How reflection creates psychological closure and protects against burnout We’ll walk you through a simple exercise to help you name your own one-sentence narrative for the year — before you start planning the next one. If you’re feeling tired, behind, or like the year slipped by too fast, this episode is your invitation to pause, zoom out, and recognize what you’ve actually built.

How a 0-10 Scale Will Transform Your Communication

Binary questions are easy — and often misleading. In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful (and underused) communication tools in pelvic health, leadership, and life: the 0–10 scale. Instead of asking questions that are heavily influenced by power dynamics, assumptions, or people-pleasing (“Are you okay with this?”), the 0–10 scale opens the door to nuance, curiosity, and honesty. We discuss: * Why yes/no questions shut conversations down * How a 0–10 scale creates psychological safety and intellectual humility * How defining the ends of the scale matters just as much as the number * Why the scale naturally leads to better follow-up questions * How this tool keeps conversations collaborative instead of adversarial We shares real-world examples of using the scale: * Gaining consent for internal vaginal or rectal treatment * Asking about comfort with students or shadowing * Clarifying goals like returning to running or biking (and whether those are real goals) * Interviewing clinicians and understanding true interest in patient populations * Navigating employee requests without jumping straight into action This simple shift turns communication into interaction — and helps you gather better information, build trust faster, and avoid unnecessary conflict. 🎓 48-Hour Clinical Course Sale To celebrate this episode, we’re running a 48-hour flash sale on all Pelvic PT Rising clinical courses. * Use code RISING26Lifetime access to all courses * This is the only sale like this we’ve done all year If you’ve been thinking about taking one of Nicole’s clinical courses, this is the time. 👉 Learn more and grab your course at  www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical [http://www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical] About Us Nicole and Jesse Cozean [https://www.pelvicsanity.com/dr-nicole-cozean] founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical [https://www.pelvicptrising.com/courses] and business [https://www.pelvicptrising.com/business] resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy [https://www.pelvicsanity.com/] (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.

From Surviving to Thriving in Business as a Pelvic PT/OT Owner

A lot of pelvic health business owners are just surviving. They’re working hard.  Seeing patients.  Paying the rent and bills, with maybe a bit left over for themselves.   But surviving isn’t why most people started a practice. In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to thrive as a business owner—and why the success you want is often on the other side of the work you’ve been avoiding. We walk through the five core areas we see in truly thriving practices: * Financial confidence * Lifestyle and time freedom * Clinical excellence * Daily enjoyment * Community impact We also discuss why willpower alone rarely gets people there, why grinding harder often backfires, and how getting the right support can completely change the trajectory of your business. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “it’s fine” and “this isn’t what I imagined,” this episode will give you clarity—and a framework to think differently about what’s next. 👉 Want to see where you fall right now?

The 4 Types of Clinical Mentorship (And Why Most Clinicians Are Missing At Least One)

Mentorship has become a buzzword in pelvic PT and OT — but most conversations around it are incomplete. In this episode, we break down the four distinct types of mentorship that actually shape clinical confidence, patient outcomes, and long-term career satisfaction. Most clinicians receive some mentorship — but very few receive all four. We unpack: * Hard Skills Hands-on techniques, assessments, and interventions — what most people think of as “mentorship,” and what many con-ed courses focus on. * Soft Skills Communication, motivation, managing difficult personalities, and helping patients truly buy into care. Often overlooked, but frequently the difference between average and exceptional outcomes. * Information Understanding diagnoses, testing, medical management, and knowing what actually matters for the patient in front of you — not just what’s theoretically interesting. * Professional Development Career guidance, burnout prevention, time management, and mentorship that considers you as a person — not just a clinician. We also talk honestly about what to do if you’re not getting this level of mentorship where you work — and how to approach your career strategically instead of hoping things improve on their own. 🔍 Looking for a clinic that prioritizes mentorship? We’ve built a Hiring & Mentorship Map featuring pelvic PT/OT practices — many within the Pelvic PT Rising community — that value training, growth, and long-term career development. 👉 Explore the map: www.pelvicptrising.com/map [http://www.pelvicptrising.com/map] Whether you’re early in your career or years in, this episode will help you identify what kind of mentorship you’re actually receiving — and what you may be missing.
