The family legacy that built Dr. Cherine’s mindset and strength

Her health struggles at 19 and the turning point that led her to chiropractic

Lessons from starting a practice with almost nothing — and why values matter most

How failure, loss, and challenges became the fuel for transformation

Why proving others wrong isn’t about ego, but about purpose and resilience

If you’ve ever been told you can’t do something, this episode will inspire you to rise, push forward, and create the life you deserve.
