    The One Question Every Chiropractor Should Ask Themselves | Dr. Matt Sherson On Teaching, Avoiding Burnout & Meeting People Where They're At

    Apparently, New Zealanders have it in their core to just "make things happen" and during my conversation with Dr. Matt Sherson at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, I certainly understood this to be true by the way he has orchestrated his career.  As head of the technique department at the college, he's had the opportunity to guide students for years, but what came up the most during our conversation was the importance of knowing yourself, and why self-awareness really should be the foundation for the type of life in business that you build. Matt talks about his experiences getting close to burnout, what types of questions he believes we should be asking ourselves to really find meaning and joy in the work that we are doing, and how we often get in our own way by limiting ourselves with our beliefs. We also discussed what's happening in the schools these days, different techniques, research, and some of the myths of teaching, but consistently our conversation came back to being yourself and building a life that really is aligned with who you are - very much the ethos of a Rockstar Doctor Life.  Contact Dr. Melissa Longo to find out about mentoring or just to offer your ideas here Learn about the Simple Practice Program  https://drmelissalongo.com/the-simple-practice/ 26 Ways To Light Up Your Practice In 2026!

    Is Your Practice Affecting Your Intimate Relationships? Dr. Lee Baucom On 3 Common Problems & How To Fix Them

    Most Chiropractors give a lot to their patients, and it's not just the physical hands-on care I'm referring to. There's emotional support, clinical guidance and relationship building that's an ongoing part of every successful practice. My question for marriage and relationship coach Dr. Lee Baucom was - "How does all that outpouring of energy throughout a workday affect our personal relationships?" Turns out there are some consistent marital issues he sees quite a bit in his work with health care professionals, and he dives into some of the top problems in this conversation. Some of them surprised me, like why he believes date nights can sometimes create more problems instead of increasing connection. We also talked about why so many Doctors deal with anxiety and mental exhaustion, how to work through your imposter feelings, and why ultimately practitioners need to prioritize their health to best help others.  Contact Dr. Melissa Longo to find out about mentoring or just to offer your ideas here Learn about the Simple Practice Program  https://drmelissalongo.com/the-simple-practice/ 26 Ways To Light Up Your Practice In 2026!

For over two decades, he's helped thousands of couples pull back from the brink of divorce through his coaching, online programs, and a straightforward philosophy: he can't save your marriage — but he can show you how to. Dr. Baucom specializes in helping individuals break through the internal barriers — fear, identity, and mindset — that keep them stuck, and his work has made him a trusted voice for anyone who wants to do the hard, important work of transforming their relationship.

    What Do You Need To STOP Doing?

    We're so familiar, perhaps a little too much, with making lists of all the things we should, need, or want to do. What if we flip it and make a list of the things we should stop doing and see how that directs our life and business into a little more ease? In this episode I break down why this matters and how it has worked for colleagues and clients, and the simple way you can give it a try in your own life and see if it makes a difference in freeing you up to do more of what you love, and even be more of who you are.
