What actually changes when you stop running your clinic on hustle and start running it like a CEO? And what happens when you realize—only a year into ownership—that the practice you bought came with ten-year problems?

In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Carrie Silveira, a chiropractor who went from CA to associate to clinic owner in record time and found herself overwhelmed, underpaid, and dangerously close to burnout. Carrie shares her unfiltered experience inside Uncharted CEO, what finally forced her to pause and look at the numbers, and how building real systems transformed not just her practice, but her leadership and sanity. They discuss profit leaks, team accountability, using AI to regain time, and why working harder is rarely the answer.

Key Takeaways

• Buying a practice does not guarantee profitability. Inheriting systems, staff, and overhead without clear margins can create instant burnout if not addressed early.
• Clarity creates momentum. Deep financial visibility and defined KPIs allow clinic owners to make confident decisions instead of reacting emotionally.
• Teams perform better with measurable goals. Clear expectations and simple metrics can completely change staff engagement and ownership.
• Time freedom starts with systems. Leveraging AI and structured processes reduces decision fatigue and allows owners to focus on leadership instead of survival.

About the Guest

Dr. Carrie Silveira is a chiropractor on California’s Central Coast who has spent over 15 years in the same practice—first as a chiropractic assistant, then as an associate, and ultimately as the owner after purchasing the clinic two years ago. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West with honors, Dr. Silveira specializes in gentle techniques for older and more fragile bodies, helping patients who have been told they “just have to live with it.” With six additional years of education in functional medicine, she brings a deeper investigative lens to uncovering root causes of dysfunction. Outside the clinic, she enjoys making natural skincare products, dreaming of travel, and spending time with family and friends.

This final Best Of She Slays 2025 episode tackles one of the most important—and most avoided—topics for practice owners and entrepreneurs: money. Not just how to make it, but how to think about it, protect it, and use it as a tool for long-term freedom. Because financial independence isn’t built by accident or by blindly following the traditional path—it’s built through intentional decisions, better systems, and the willingness to question what you’ve been taught about wealth.

In this episode, you’ll hear curated segments that challenge conventional retirement planning, explore how money dynamics show up inside relationships, break down how smarter systems create real profit, confront the hard math behind insurance-based models, and introduce digital assets as a long-term wealth strategy. Together, these conversations offer a grounded, practical look at what it really takes to build wealth as a healthcare provider or business owner—so money stops being a source of stress and starts becoming a vehicle for choice, stability, and freedom.

This second Best Of She Slays 2025 episode brings together some of the most impactful conversations of the year around business growth and leadership—the kind that challenges you to think bigger, lead better, and evolve beyond the role you originally built your practice around. Growth isn’t just about adding patients, revenue, or offers. It’s about learning how to make harder decisions, step into leadership with confidence, and build a business that doesn’t rely on you doing everything yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear curated segments on the future of solo practice and the rise of group models, how to lead effective and ethical sales conversations, why bravery and optimism are trainable leadership skills, how to use AI to scale your impact without losing your voice, and how to identify the real source of burnout before it derails your career. Together, these conversations reinforce one essential truth: sustainable growth requires leadership that supports both the business and the human running it—and without that foundation, success eventually becomes unsustainable.

Your clinic’s real estate decisions can quietly make—or break—your profitability. In this episode of She Slays the Day, Lauryn sits down with Colin Carr, Founder and CEO of CARR Healthcare Realty, to unpack why leases, buildouts, renewals, and location strategy are some of the most overlooked yet financially impactful decisions practice owners make. Colin explains where providers commonly lose money, how landlords think during negotiations, and what healthcare professionals should be doing differently to protect cash flow, reduce risk, and build long-term leverage through smarter clinic real estate decisions.

Key Takeaways

• Why real estate is often the largest hidden expense in a healthcare practice
• Common lease mistakes that cost practice owners tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars
• How negotiation leverage shifts depending on timing, renewals, and market conditions
• The difference between landlord-friendly deals and provider-protected agreements
• How strategic real estate decisions directly impact profitability, scalability, and exit options

What if the only thing standing between you and your breakthrough year… is your comfort zone? In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Lauryn gets radically honest about the habits, mindset shifts, and uncomfortable changes required to create a life, business, and level of health that don’t just look good on a vision board — but actually happen in real life. If you’re tired of feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns, this episode will wake you up in the best way.

Lauryn dives into the truths most high achievers avoid: why comfort quietly kills momentum, how ceilings form inside us long before they show up in our numbers, and why the body always keeps the score when ambition goes unchecked. She shares her 2026 plan with total transparency — from tightening her health habits after an unexpected AFib diagnosis, to leveling up her business strategy, to grounding her goals in faith and intention. If you're ready for a year that asks more of you (and rewards you for it), this is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways

• Growth requires discomfort — every time. Lauryn breaks down why comfort zones create stagnation, how to identify the real ceilings in your life and business, and what it takes to push through them with intention and clarity.
• Your health is part of your success strategy. After facing a surprising AFib diagnosis, Lauryn shares how stress, ambition, and ignored habits catch up — and why your body will always force changes you don’t willingly make.
• Big goals demand real systems. Learn how to reverse-engineer revenue, plan launches, delegate effectively, and treat your business like a business rather than “fun money.”
• Your relationships and faith must evolve with your ambitions. Lauryn explores how marriage, spirituality, and emotional grounding become non-negotiable when you’re scaling your life in any direction.

In the second half of Lauryn’s conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they shift from lead behavior and AI into a bigger, more powerful discussion: what the future of marketing will actually look like. As AI becomes standard and consumer behavior continues to evolve, funnels are losing their influence, trust is becoming the currency, and personal brand is emerging as the most important marketing strategy for practice owners. This episode explores how community, authenticity, and consistent human connection are reshaping how people make decisions in 2027 and beyond.

Lauryn and Ryan break down the rise of the “messy middle,” why reactivations are increasing with print newsletters, how workshops and in-person experiences are changing, and why being known, liked, and trusted will matter more than any ad strategy. If Part 1 explained why lead behavior has changed, Part 2 dives into what to do next—and how to position your clinic and brand for the new era of marketing.

Key Takeaways:

• The strongest marketing strategy of the future is community, not funnels. As consumers become more skeptical of being sold to, trust, belonging, and personal brand will outperform traditional lead-generation tactics.
• The “messy middle” explains today’s nonlinear buying behavior. People now require multiple platforms, repeated exposures, and varied touchpoints before making a decision—making consistency more important than conversion tricks.
• Print newsletters and human connection are making a comeback. Physical, tangible touchpoints create unusually strong recall and retention, especially in a digital world saturated with automated content.
• AI will streamline tasks, but authenticity will be the differentiator. Practices that pair AI efficiency with genuine, relatable human presence will dominate the next phase of patient engagement and brand loyalty.

Why are new patient leads harder than ever to convert? Why do people click “request appointment” and then ignore the phone when you call them back? In this eye-opening first half of Lauryn’s conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they break down the real reasons behind today’s lead behavior—and why overwhelmed, distracted consumers require a completely different approach than what practices used even a few years ago. If you’ve ever felt confused by inconsistent lead follow-up or disappointed by low booking rates, this episode will finally make the data make sense.

Together, Lauryn and Ryan unpack the psychology of modern consumers, the impact of decision fatigue, why response timing matters more than most practices realize, and how AI voice agents are beginning to fill critical gaps in speed-to-lead and consistent follow-up. You’ll learn what’s actually normal for booking percentages, why even great front desk teams struggle, and how understanding human behavior is the first step toward better systems, better conversions, and a more predictable new-patient pipeline.

Key Takeaways:

• Modern consumers are overwhelmed—leading to inconsistent follow-through. Ryan Rieder explains how decision fatigue, content overload, and “start now, finish later” behavior impact every step of the new-patient process.
• Speed-to-lead dramatically increases conversion rates. Answering or calling back within 60 seconds can multiply booking chances, but most practices aren’t staffed to respond that quickly consistently.
• AI voice agents fill the timing and capacity gap. Early AI adoption is helping small practices match the responsiveness and follow-up systems previously only available to large organizations.
• Lead quality vs. lead quantity is often misunderstood. Without understanding human behavior and response patterns, practices misjudge what their booking numbers really mean—and what realistic expectations should be.

What happens when old-school chiropractic passion collides with cutting-edge AI? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Beau Pierce for a wildly compelling conversation that starts with the roots of chiropractic philosophy, advocacy, and identity — and ends in the fast-approaching future of AI-powered practice growth. From political battles to professional awakening, Beau’s story reads like three careers compressed into one…and it reveals why chiropractic may be on the verge of its biggest evolution yet.

Together, they dive into why the early “cult-like fire” of chiropractic mattered, how evidence is finally catching up to philosophy, and what AI tools are poised to transform everything from documentation to patient education. They also break down Beau’s new AI projects, the rise of chiropractic-specific tech, and what the upcoming Virtual Chiropractic AI Summit will mean for every doctor who wants to grow smarter — not busier. If you want to understand where the profession is headed, this episode is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways:

1. Chiropractic’s philosophical roots are resurging as younger and mid-career docs seek clarity, conviction, and identity in a rapidly shifting healthcare landscape.
2. AI is the next major evolution of chiropractic, offering faster documentation, higher patient engagement, smarter EHR systems, and tools that finally demonstrate the neurological impact of adjustments.
3. Advocacy is changing, and chiropractors must embrace both evidence and authenticity as they lead patients through an uncertain healthcare era.
4. Future-ready practices will win, especially those that combine strong systems, AI-powered tools, and a bold voice rooted in chiropractic’s original mission.
