    Behind the Scenes at Living Well Spine Center: Shining Your Light in Wellness and Life

    In this heartwarming and inspiring episode of Living Well Together, Lisa and Terry pull back the curtain on what makes Living Well Spine Center such a special place for healing, connection, and growth. They discuss everything from the importance of team culture to the critical role of the body’s terrain in wellness, with Terry’s memorable “dirty fish bowl” analogy highlighting the power of internal health.

    The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Lisa and Terry explore the nutrient of love, the transformative benefits of hugs, and how even on tough days, you can still shine your light and share the truth about wellness. They also reflect on how being vocal about health—especially when it’s uncomfortable—is essential for inspiring others to move beyond managing disease and toward true wellness.

    The episode wraps up with a heartfelt shout-out to loyal follower Delores Ford, a big ole Happy Birthday to Uncle Gary, and a quick note about exciting opportunities for associates to join the Living Well Spine Center team.

  • Living Well Together with Jenny Saladin | Ep.44

    In this episode of Living Well Together, we chat with Jenny Saladin, a longtime Fairborn community member whose journey exemplifies the power of aligning life with one’s true values. Jenny grew up in Enon but spent her early years dancing at Miami Valley Dance Center in Fairborn, where much of her social life and roots were formed. Today, she lives in Fairborn with her husband and son, Lacan. After earning her degree in business from Bowling Green State University, Jenny worked in corporate America for ten years before realizing it wasn’t the path for her. Through re-evaluating her financial priorities and redefining what a “successful” life looked like, she found a much happier, more fulfilling balance.

    Jenny’s career now includes organizational work, personal assisting, and supporting the city schools. She’s passionate about making a difference in her community and witnessing its transformation firsthand. Her journey speaks to those who believe life has a fixed formula, reminding us that we’re not limited to the high school-college-full-time-job template. In her words, “Your path isn’t set in stone!” Jenny enjoys her new freedom and has never looked back. Now, she provides organizational support to clients on evenings and weekends—not to build a big business but to simply help a few people each month create order in their lives.

    Tune in to hear Jenny’s insights on navigating life’s changes, following your heart, and creating a lifestyle that aligns with who you are.
