Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with a truly remarkable guest. Tangy Kincaid is an independent CRNA and the founder of Zenfusions, LLC, with a deep passion for anesthesia and mental health. In fact, she’s made it her mission to help patients in a way that truly changes lives.
After earning her master’s degree in nursing from Murray State University in 2008, Tangy began working at a Level II Trauma center in Texas and later pursued independent contracting throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. However, it was during her time working at a chronic pain clinic that Tangy discovered her true calling in ketamine therapy—a groundbreaking treatment for patients battling mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Tangy Kincaid on Ketamine Therapy and Launching Zenfusions
In our conversation, Tangy explains how ketamine therapy helps patients who have been resistant to traditional therapies, offering them a new path to healing by altering brain receptors and enhancing the effectiveness of psychotherapy. For Tangy, the most rewarding part of her work is seeing her patients transform from states of deep anxiety, depression, or trauma to a place of well-being and hope.
Tangy also takes us through her incredible journey from the operating room to independent practice, where she now runs not one, but two businesses: KT Anesthesia and Zenfusions. In addition, we dive into the challenges she’s faced as a business owner, from navigating the stigma around ketamine therapy to the complexities of managing a growing practice. Indeed, Tangy’s insight into the importance of building a strong support team, including a skilled accountant and attorney, is invaluable for any entrepreneur.
And of course, we touch on financial planning—an area where Tangy’s interest has grown as her income has increased. Specifically, we discuss the different strategies for funding retirement, with a focus on the specific needs of business owners like Tangy, who are looking to retire on their own terms.
Whether you’re a curious healthcare professional, a seasoned CRNA, or simply looking to make a meaningful impact while navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, you’re sure to find Tangy’s story and the wisdom she shares with us today inspiring. So, with that, I hope you enjoy this episode of the MoneyRx for CRNAs Podcast with Tangy Kincaid.
