    My Day with Hormozi

    Alex Hormozi Told Me My Chiropractic Business Model Was Outdated. Here's What Happened.I spent more money on one day with Alex Hormozi than I've ever invested in myself at one time. And I walked in expecting him to tear my chiropractic businesses apart. Instead, he told me something I wasn't expecting: "You've managed to outwork a really difficult business model." In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my day inside the Acquisition.com boardroom and sharing the strategies Alex recommended to help me rethink how we run our chiropractic clinics. We're talking about: The outdated chiropractic business model and why working harder isn't always the answer.The patient retention problem: Why patients leave before completing care and how changing payment options could make a massive difference.The power of video sales letters: How to build trust, establish credibility, and answer objections before the Report of Findings.Documenting patient results: A simple 30-second video strategy to help patients recognize their progress.Centralization, staffing, and profitability: Why Alex believes a leaner chiropractic office can be more profitable.The pricing mindset problem: Why a suggested $250 adjustment made me question my own beliefs about value.I also share what surprised me about Alex, where I disagreed with his advice, and whether I think the investment was worth it. No guru fluff. Just an inside look at what happens when a successful chiropractic business owner puts her entire model under the microscope. If you own a chiropractic practice, this episode might challenge everything you think you know about growing it.

    I Forgot My License… and My Laptop Tested Positive for Bomb Material

    What was supposed to be a simple college drop-off turned into forgotten IDs, canceled flights, zero sleep, sketchy hotels, rental-car chaos, criminal background checks, questions about an ex-boyfriend from 30 years ago… and a laptop that somehow tested positive for bomb material. In this episode, Tanya tells the full, completely ridiculous story of getting her daughter to college—and somehow making it back home. It’s part parenting milestone, part travel nightmare, part TSA interrogation, and somehow still hilarious in hindsight. The takeaway? Your kids may be ready to leave the nest. You may not be ready for TSA. And for the love of God, remember your purse.

    What Straightening My Teeth Taught Me About Why Patients Quit

    Dr. Tanya Westerbeek had braces as a teenager, got the result she wanted—and then stopped maintaining it. The change didn’t happen overnight. One tooth slowly shifted over the course of years until she finally found herself starting over at 47 with an 18-month Invisalign plan. Eight weeks into treatment, Tanya shares what the discomfort, inconvenience and nearly invisible progress have taught her about patients who quit care after they begin feeling better. Feeling better can seem like the finish line, but it’s often only the middle of the plan. Real, lasting change requires continuing to show up—especially when the immediate problem appears to be gone.

    When “Not Yet” Becomes an Emergency

    Dr. Tanya Westerbeek regularly meets people who have lived with discomfort, exhaustion or physical limitations for years before seeking help. They aren’t lazy, careless or unwilling to take care of themselves. They’ve been doing the quiet math of whether the problem is serious enough to interrupt work, family responsibilities, their paycheck and their routine. Whether they spend the day repeating the same movement on a production line or sitting in the same position behind a screen, their bodies gradually adapt to one shape. The change rarely feels dramatic—until “not yet” becomes an emergency. Tanya explains why healthcare should meet people without judgment, wherever they are in that process. Patients don’t need another lecture about waiting too long. They need a place where they can finally say something is wrong—even if they still believe it’s probably nothing.
