Building a Sustainable Business Without Burning Out with Ilene Gold
In this episode of The House of CEO , I sit down with Ilene Gold, licensed therapist and founder of Discover Peace Within, to talk about her journey from social worker to building a thriving group therapy practice. Ilene shares how she started her business while preparing for motherhood, why burnout led her to expand her practice, and what she's learned about leadership, finances, and creating a business that supports her life. We also have a really good conversation about something so many service providers struggle with: knowing when to grow, when to hire, and when raising your prices might be the better decision. In this episode, we discuss: Building a business while navigating motherhood Moving from solo practitioner to leading a team Burnout, boundaries, and protecting your mental health Money mindset, pricing, and profitability Why hiring isn't always the answer to growth Creating a business that's sustainable for both you and your team Ilene also shares how she's incorporating holistic therapy and yoga into her practice, along with the importance of having your own support system as a business owner.
