In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marcy, a chiropractor, multi-location practice owner, and accountability coach with Staffless Practice.

We talk about her journey from running a solo practice to building two physical locations and four satellite locations. Dr. Marcy shares how tracking statistics, creating strong systems, investing in the right people, and recognizing each team member’s unique strengths helped her grow.

We also discuss when to hire, how to plan your marketing, why accountability matters, and how the RISE program helps practice owners create clarity around their goals.

Whether you are just starting your practice, preparing to grow, or planning your next chapter, this conversation offers practical guidance and encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Holly Tucker, chiropractor, Profit First professional, and financial coach, to talk about something most practice owners avoid… money.

And not just money, but the way we think about money.

We dive into what really happens behind the scenes of a growing practice, why so many practitioners feel stuck financially (even when they’re busy), and how a simple shift in structure can completely change your relationship with your income.

Dr. Holly breaks down the Profit First method in a way that actually feels doable, whether you have $100 in the bank or you’re bringing in consistent revenue but still feel disorganized.

We also talk about:

•  Why financial clarity is missing in healthcare education 
•  The difference between being busy and being profitable 
•  How to start managing your money (without overwhelm) 
•  The real role of bookkeepers, accountants, and coaches 
•  And how your mindset around money shapes everything 

This conversation is honest, practical, and empowering.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Where is my money actually going?” or felt disconnected from your numbers, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

🎧 Listen in and start building a more sustainable, intentional, and profitable practice.

What if your practice actually supported your life instead of controlling it?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Wendling, chiropractor, coach, and founder of Be The Best Chiropractor, to talk about what it really looks like to build a practice rooted in freedom, joy, and alignment.

With over 30 years of experience in chiropractic, bodywork, and business ownership, Michelle shares how she went from running a successful cash-based practice to selling it and stepping into a lifestyle of travel, flexibility, and intentional living.

This conversation goes beyond strategy. We talk about identity, mindset, and the internal shifts that allow you to stop operating from obligation and start creating a practice that actually fits you.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning if there’s another way to do practice, this episode will expand what you believe is possible.

In this episode, we cover:

•  How to build a chiropractic practice that supports your lifestyle 
•  Why most practice limitations are self-imposed 
•  The difference between practicing from obligation vs. passion 
•  How coaching, community, and environment shape your success 
•  Why copying other successful chiropractors can hold you back

In this episode of the Staffless Practice Podcast, I sat down with Michelle Grasek, an acupuncturist and marketing mentor who has spent over a decade helping practitioners grow their practices in a way that actually feels good. 

We talked about something I know so many of us struggle with… how to market your practice without feeling fake, pushy, or completely burned out.

Michelle shares how she went from running her own acupuncture practice to teaching marketing, and why consistency, connection, and authenticity matter more than doing everything. We dive into practical strategies for both introverts and extroverts, how to build trust with your community, and what to do when your marketing feels stagnant.

One of my favorite takeaways? You don’t have to do marketing you hate. There are so many ways to grow your practice, and the key is choosing what actually aligns with you.

We also talk about:

•  Why is connection the foundation of patient trust 
•  The biggest mistake practitioners make on social media 
•  When to focus on in-person marketing vs digital 
•  How to get unstuck when you feel like nothing is working 
•  Why your Google Business profile might be your best starting point 

If marketing has ever felt overwhelming or “not your thing,” this episode will completely shift how you think about it.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Travis Corcoran to talk about something I don’t think we talk about enough in practice growth.

Purpose.

I’ve spent years surrounded by purpose-driven chiropractors, and I didn’t realize how rare that actually is until I started working with more practitioners who felt stuck, overwhelmed, and honestly disconnected from what they’re doing.

So in this conversation, we go deeper.

We talk about:

•  Why setting goals without knowing your purpose will always leave you feeling unfulfilled 
•  How having a clear framework changes the way you make decisions in your practice and your life 
•  The balance between logic and intuition and why you actually need both 
•  What I’d say to any practitioner who feels like they’re just “throwing spaghetti at the wall.” 

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:
 → Hit goals but still felt like something was missing
 → Questioned if you’re on the right path
 → Wanted more clarity, direction, and alignment in your work

Because the truth is, when you’re clear on your purpose, everything else starts to make a whole lot more sense.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Diana Smith, someone whose name comes up again and again when it comes to finances, money mindset, and running a profitable practice.

I wanted to have this conversation because I see it all the time. Practice owners are busy, fully booked, and still feel like they are not making any money. I have been there too.

We talk about the Profit First model and why taking profit first instead of last can completely change how a practice operates. More importantly, we go deeper into what is really happening underneath it all.

In this conversation, I share
 • Why being busy does not always mean being profitable
 • How I personally approach Profit First in my own business
 • What happens when there is no structure around money
 • The mindset shifts that come with stepping into a CEO role

Diana also shares her story, including what happened when she lost a significant amount of money during a buildout, how it impacted her mentally and emotionally, and what she had to do to rebuild.

We also get into real talk about responsibility, decision-making, and what it takes to move forward when things feel hard.

If things feel messy, overwhelming, or unclear in a practice right now, this is a good place to start.

If this conversation resonated and finances are something being worked through right now, I highly recommend connecting with Diana and her work. You can learn more or reach out at chirobabe.com. 

There are moments in life that completely change your direction and this conversation with Dr. David Serio is about one of those moments.

Dr. Serio shares his journey from knowing nothing about chiropractic… to building one of the largest practices in Latin America and leading a global network of chiropractic centers.

But this episode isn’t about success in the traditional sense.

It’s about:

•  The moment that shifted everything for him 
•  What an adjustment can unlock beyond the physical 
•  The responsibility we carry as practitioners 
•  Why presence matters more than technique 
•  And how to continue serving even on your hardest days 

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is how service becomes the anchor especially in the hardest moments of life. Even in the face of personal loss, Dr. Serio shares how choosing to serve became the most healing thing he could do. 

This episode goes beyond strategy and into the heart of chiropractic.

It’s about connection. It’s about purpose. And it’s about the kind of impact we create when we truly show up.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, questioned your path, or needed a reminder of why you started this conversation, it will bring you back.
