The Groundhog Day Effect
Do your days in the practice feel… the same?
Same problems.
Same conversations.
Same frustrations—just on repeat.
In this episode, we’re talking about The Groundhog Day Effect—that feeling of reliving the same challenges over and over, even though you’re working hard and staying busy.
This isn’t about motivation.
It’s about awareness, leadership, and breaking patterns that quietly keep practices stuck.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does it feel like nothing is changing?” — this episode is for you.
The Groundhog Day Effect happens when:
Problems repeat because systems never change
Goals reset every year but behaviors stay the same
Teams feel busy but not aligned
Growth feels stalled despite effort
This episode dives into why this happens and—more importantly—how to break the cycle.
Why repetition is often a system issue—not a people issue
How leadership patterns create recurring outcomes
The difference between activity and progress
Why unresolved problems keep showing up in new forms
How clarity and intentional goals disrupt the cycle
The role staff support plays in creating real change
Why awareness is the first step toward momentum
How to stop “resetting” and start evolving
If your team keeps:
Struggling with the same issues
Revisiting the same conversations
Feeling frustrated or disengaged
This episode will help you see where the loop is happening—and how to lead your way out of it.
Change doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing things differently.
Ask yourself this week:
“What keeps repeating in my practice—and what haven’t I changed yet?”
That answer holds the key to momentum.
