How Delegating Tasks Can Transform Your Practice with Jennifer Crawford and Meredith Eaton of Move Forward Virtual Assistants
Sep 30, 2025 Season 3 Episode 35

As therapists and small business owners, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have to do it all ourselves. But here’s the truth: doing everything on your own isn’t sustainable—and it definitely isn’t scalable.

Today, I’m talking to Jennifer Crawford and Meredith Eaton of Move Forward Virtual Assistants about delegation as a superpower.

Tune in to hear about:

  • How to calculate the real ROI of hiring an assistant
  • The most common (and most helpful) tasks therapists delegate
  • Three smart questions to ask when you’re ready to hire
  • How to be better at delegating
  • The benefits of hiring a specialized VA who’s trained in mental health administration

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or wondering when to bring in support, this conversation is for you.
