    What if your practice actually supported your life instead of controlling it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Wendling, chiropractor, coach, and founder of Be The Best Chiropractor, to talk about what it really looks like to build a practice rooted in freedom, joy, and alignment. With over 30 years of experience in chiropractic, bodywork, and business ownership, Michelle shares how she went from running a successful cash-based practice to selling it and stepping into a lifestyle of travel, flexibility, and intentional living.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning if there’s another way to do practice, this episode will expand what you believe is possible. In this episode, we cover:  How to build a chiropractic practice that supports your lifestyle  Why most practice limitations are self-imposed  The difference between practicing from obligation vs. passion  How coaching, community, and environment shape your success  Why copying other successful chiropractors can hold you back  How to reconnect with joy in your practice Key Takeaways:  You don’t need to follow someone else’s blueprint  Your practice should evolve as you evolve  Freedom starts with internal clarity, not external strategy Connect + Learn More: Follow Dr. Michelle Wendling and explore her work helping chiropractors refine their skills, simplify systems, and fall back in love with practice.

    Why You Feel Broke Even When You’re Busy: A Conversation with Dr. Diana Smith

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Diana Smith, someone whose name comes up again and again when it comes to finances, money mindset, and running a profitable practice. I wanted to have this conversation because I see it all the time. Practice owners are busy, fully booked, and still feel like they are not making any money. I have been there too. We talk about the Profit First model and why taking profit first instead of last can completely change how a practice operates. More importantly, we go deeper into what is really happening underneath it all. In this conversation, I share  • Why being busy does not always mean being profitable  • How I personally approach Profit First in my own business  • What happens when there is no structure around money  • The mindset shifts that come with stepping into a CEO role Diana also shares her story, including what happened when she lost a significant amount of money during a buildout, how it impacted her mentally and emotionally, and what she had to do to rebuild. We also get into real talk about responsibility, decision-making, and what it takes to move forward when things feel hard. If things feel messy, overwhelming, or unclear in a practice right now, this is a good place to start. If this conversation resonated and finances are something being worked through right now, I highly recommend connecting with Diana and her work. You can learn more or reach out at chirobabe.com.
