    How to Take Control of Your Practice Finances: A Conversation with Dr. Holly Tucker

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Holly Tucker, chiropractor, Profit First professional, and financial coach, to talk about something most practice owners avoid… money. And not just money, but the way we think about money.

We also talk about:  Why financial clarity is missing in healthcare education  The difference between being busy and being profitable  How to start managing your money (without overwhelm)  The real role of bookkeepers, accountants, and coaches  And how your mindset around money shapes everything This conversation is honest, practical, and empowering. If you’ve ever wondered, “Where is my money actually going?” or felt disconnected from your numbers, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 🎧 Listen in and start building a more sustainable, intentional, and profitable practice.

    The No-Stress Way to Market Your Practice: A Conversation with Michelle Grasek

    In this episode of the Staffless Practice Podcast, I sat down with Michelle Grasek, an acupuncturist and marketing mentor who has spent over a decade helping practitioners grow their practices in a way that actually feels good.  We talked about something I know so many of us struggle with… how to market your practice without feeling fake, pushy, or completely burned out. Michelle shares how she went from running her own acupuncture practice to teaching marketing, and why consistency, connection, and authenticity matter more than doing everything. We dive into practical strategies for both introverts and extroverts, how to build trust with your community, and what to do when your marketing feels stagnant. One of my favorite takeaways? You don’t have to do marketing you hate. There are so many ways to grow your practice, and the key is choosing what actually aligns with you. We also talk about:  Why is connection the foundation of patient trust  The biggest mistake practitioners make on social media  When to focus on in-person marketing vs digital  How to get unstuck when you feel like nothing is working  Why your Google Business profile might be your best starting point If marketing has ever felt overwhelming or “not your thing,” this episode will completely shift how you think about it.

    Building a Purpose-Driven Chiropractic Life: A Conversation with Dr. Travis Corcoran

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with Travis Corcoran to talk about something I don’t think we talk about enough in practice growth. Purpose. I’ve spent years surrounded by purpose-driven chiropractors, and I didn’t realize how rare that actually is until I started working with more practitioners who felt stuck, overwhelmed, and honestly disconnected from what they’re doing. So in this conversation, we go deeper. We talk about:  Why setting goals without knowing your purpose will always leave you feeling unfulfilled  How having a clear framework changes the way you make decisions in your practice and your life  The balance between logic and intuition and why you actually need both  What I’d say to any practitioner who feels like they’re just “throwing spaghetti at the wall.” This episode is for you if you’ve ever:  → Hit goals but still felt like something was missing  → Questioned if you’re on the right path  → Wanted more clarity, direction, and alignment in your work Because the truth is, when you’re clear on your purpose, everything else starts to make a whole lot more sense.

    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.

    Presence, Purpose, and the Power of the Adjustment: A Conversation with Dr. David Serio

    There are moments in life that completely change your direction and this conversation with Dr. David Serio is about one of those moments. Dr. Serio shares his journey from knowing nothing about chiropractic… to building one of the largest practices in Latin America and leading a global network of chiropractic centers. But this episode isn’t about success in the traditional sense. It’s about:  The moment that shifted everything for him  What an adjustment can unlock beyond the physical  The responsibility we carry as practitioners  Why presence matters more than technique  And how to continue serving even on your hardest days One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is how service becomes the anchor especially in the hardest moments of life. Even in the face of personal loss, Dr. Serio shares how choosing to serve became the most healing thing he could do.  This episode goes beyond strategy and into the heart of chiropractic. It’s about connection. It’s about purpose. And it’s about the kind of impact we create when we truly show up. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, questioned your path, or needed a reminder of why you started this conversation, it will bring you back.
