She Slays the Day with Dr. Lauryn Brunclik

310 - Burnout to Balance: Healing Professions Deserve Better Business Models feat. Dr. Christine Staten


Listen Later

What happens when the professions built on healing others start struggling to heal themselves? In this conversation, Dr. Lauryn sits down with veterinarian and entrepreneur Dr. Christine Staten to explore the deep parallels between veterinary and chiropractic practices — from burnout and compassion fatigue to broken business models and corporate takeovers. Whether you’re a chiropractor, healthcare provider, or business owner, this episode will challenge you to rethink how sustainability and success really get built.

Together, they dive into why healing professions face such high burnout rates, the dangers of corporate consolidation in medicine, and how practice owners can reclaim freedom, fulfillment, and financial health. Dr. Christine shares her own journey from practitioner to CEO, why building better systems saves lives, and her mission to protect independent healthcare practices from being bought out or burned out.

Key Takeaways:

  • Healing professions like chiropractic and veterinary medicine face parallel struggles of burnout, compassion fatigue, and unsustainable business models.
  • Building strong leadership, clear systems, and carving out CEO time is critical to preventing resentment and creating lasting career fulfillment.
  • Corporate ownership of healthcare practices is on the rise, making it more important than ever to empower independent practice owners with the tools and knowledge to thrive.
