We’re back with another episode of the 2%— our segment on Illuminate Your Practice that shines a spotlight on the female chiropractors that have climbed their way to 7-figure success in practice. 

This week, we have someone very close to my heart— Dr. Elise Rigney! Dr. Elise is a graduate of Northwestern University and the founder/owner of Impact Chiropractic in Fort Collins, Colorado. 

Our journeys have been intertwined since the early days as we navigated the entrepreneurial waters together. From opening her practice solely due to a line of credit against her family farm’s beef cattle, to the current day where she owns two locations bringing in almost $2M, her story is nothing short of aspirational.  

In this episode, she offers incredible wisdom on:

• What to do when you hit your physical and energetic max in practice
• When you want to change more lives in the community, but I don’t want that to be solely on your shoulders
• How the right connections and customer service can grant you unlimited earning potential

We’re back with another episode of the 2%— our segment on Illuminate Your Practice that shines a spotlight on the female chiropractors that have climbed their way to 7-figure success in practice. 

This week, we have the illustrious Dr. Nicole Lindsey!

Dr. Nicole graduated from Life University in 2001 and owns and operates a practice in Asheville, NC. In addition to practicing full time, she is the founder of Dominate ChiroMarketing, which is an online program designed to teach Chiropractors how to build profitable relationships with  MDs. 

Her mission? To bridge the gap between Chiropractors and Western Medicine to improve healthcare and help Chiropractors build successful practices. 

In this conversation with Dr. Nicole, we chronicle her 21-year journey in Chiropractic— from pre-med student doubts, to solo DC on bedrest, to full-on empire. 

In this episode, she offers incredible wisdom on:

• The importance of taking risks
• The incomparable experience of being an associate doc
• The power of the ASK
• How just one person believing in you can change your entire trajectory

I was left jaw-dropped for a good portion of this interview. Her creative drive, discipline and clear vision are like nothing I’ve encountered. I know you’ll enjoy listening to Dr. Nicole just as much as I enjoyed this chat with her.

Tiffany Gonzalez helps women grow and scale their own small businesses with ease and flow. With a decade of experience running her own small business, she loves empowering women to find their stride and create more freedom, flexibility and income without giving up balance. She’s also one of my dear friends. 

One of the core things Tiffany teaches is how imperative it is to have healthy relationships personally to grow your business professionally.  On this episode (which felt like a good therapy session, honestly), we hold a very purposeful conversation around the holistic thought process that your life and business are intimately interwoven, and your business can’t fully thrive while the relationships around you are receiving minimum energy.  

Throughout the episode, Tiffany offers wisdom on: 

• How the principles of holistic, natural living can help you break free of conventional business practices
• How healing your nervous system can push you out of black-or-white functioning and get you living comfortably in the gray
• How to identify when you or your spouse are operating in fight-or-flight, and how to foster the productive conversations to bring you back to alignment

If you aren’t meeting with your team each week - WHY NOT? 

Even if you have only one part-time CA and you “talk all the time,” carving out a dedicated, weekly opportunity to meet on things that matter most cannot be replaced or replicated. 

In this tactical tip episode, I outline the benefits of a weekly team meeting and the format that has served our growing team best.

What’s in it for you on this episode:

• How you can empower your CA’s to take ownership so you are all working towards a common goal
• How to focus on the stats that matter, and delegate tasks that will leave a lasting impact
• How the same principles apply, whether you’re a solo doc or have a team of 10

Fresh off of a 3-week sabbatical in sunny Florida, I have many things to speak on, but most poignantly… I think it’s time we address our profession’s relationship with rest. 

As a chronic health issue began to rear its ugly head once more this winter, I couldn’t ignore my gut feeling telling me that a period of prolonged rest is what was needed. But I wasn’t ready to wrestle with the thoughts of “How dare she?” and “Must be nice…” that echoed in my brain. 

I followed my intuition, much to the chagrin of others who couldn’t understand my reasoning, and have some tales to tell from the other side of it. 

What’s in it for you in this episode…

• How the “Give, Love, Serve” mission of Chiropractic can often leave us sick and depleted
• How the duration of your “time off” can impact the restorative benefits you receive
• What breakthroughs may surface when you remove distractions allow yourself sufficient time and space to just ~think~

Starting another business in late 2021 was a great litmus test in seeing which new business strategies are still as applicable today as when I started my practice in 2007. 

I’ve narrowed down the 5 integral building blocks of starting a business that have stood the test of time so you can hit the ground running when opening your practice. 

Some things you’ll learn in this episode:

• Which path you should explore if the “numbers” side of opening a practice makes you cringe
• Why a traditional business plan may not serve you, and how you can amp it up
• How I’m still reaping the benefits of the ONE THING I did right when starting up

The 2% is a new segment on Illuminate Your Practice that shines a spotlight on the female chiropractors that have climbed their way to 7-figure success in practice. 

Did you know that 30% of businesses are owned by women, but only 2%— yes, 2%! — break a million dollars in annual revenue? 

So I wanted to create a space to satiate our craving to peek “behind the curtain” of these female-owned practices that rose to the 2%. 

First up, we have a fellow podcaster and my dear friend: Dr. Lauryn Brunclik! 

Dr. Lauryn graduated from Northwestern in 2010 and has spent the last 11 years starting 3 cash, high volume pediatric practices, raising 2 strong willed & empowered daughters, and starting the podcast She Slays the Day— one of the most downloaded chiropractic podcasts around. 

Creating a million dollar cash practice in a low population, low socioeconomic area has forced Dr. Lauryn to perfect patient communication skills, run tight clinic systems and procedures, and dig deep into marketing that converts the ideal patient. 

In this conversation with Dr. Lauryn, we skip the fluffy stuff and go straight to the messy (yet, magical) journey that includes:

• Defining your worth when it’s not tied to traditional productivity
• Chasing the moving finish line 
• Putting the work into your relationships as you outgrow versions of your former self
• Acknowledging when you need help to reach the next milestone

If you’re looking for a flowery, optimistic episode, this won’t be the one. If you’re ready for a raw, honest chat between two 7-figure female docs, you’re in the right place (and buckle up.)
