Former critical-care nurse turned chiropractor Dr. Shawn Powers shares how a childhood loss set her mission to “save dads,” why ICU medicine wasn’t delivering the outcomes she hoped for, and how chiropractic became her path to prevention and true impact.

We dive into her mindset tools (“name it and claim it,” shake-it-off resets, heart-breathing), shifting from insurance dependence to fee-for-service by communicating value, and using storytelling and workshops to build trust and retention.

We also cover habits that keep her sharp—intention setting, time-blocking, guided meditation/sauna sessions, and daily “love notes” to lift others. Plus, shout outs to mentors (including Jim Sigafus) and her leadership work with the League of Chiropractic Women and the Prosperous Practice Academy.
