We get asked all the time how to become a better leader. And here's the truth nobody wants to hear: it starts with you doing your own inner work first. You can't empower your team if you're not aware of your own stuff. You can't lead people through transformation if you haven't walked through it yourself. This isn't about reading more leadership books or implementing better systems. It's about radical ownership of who you are, what you're creating, and what's getting in your way. 🔥 In This Ep...
We get asked all the time how we convert so many people from pain-based care into wellness and lifestyle adjustments. The answer isn't one magical conversation. It's a hundred small ones that happen from the moment someone sees your website to the moment they sign their wellness plan. You're either guiding the conversation proactively or you're scrambling to convince someone reactively. And one of those feels good, the other feels like you're selling something you shouldn't have to sell. 🔥 In...
We're getting ready to close out 2025 and step into 2026, which means vision casting season is here. But before you start setting a million goals that you'll feel like crap about not hitting, we need to talk about the difference between goals and objectives. Goals are specific, time-bound, results-driven. They aim for a destination and if you don't hit it, you can feel like a failure. Objectives are broader, flexible, focused on the journey and the learning along the way. They keep your hands...
Custom cowgirl hats, fine line tattoos, cold plunges, and conversations that cracked people wide open. We just got back from Scottsdale for our second Expanders retreat with Stephanie Wigner and we are not the same. This is what happens when you stop competing and start calling each other forward. When the goal isn't to impress but to go deeper. When guards come down, ego gets checked at the door, and nobody's pretending anymore. This weekend was about expansion in every direction. Quantum fr...
If you're noticing your team struggling to close care plans, if you're hearing resistance when you raise prices, if there's a heaviness around financial conversations in your practice, this episode is your invitation to go deeper. We're talking about how to create space for your team to examine their money beliefs without shame. How to get them dreaming again about what's actually possible instead of staying stuck in what currently is. And most importantly, how to lead this work from a place ...
Dr. Jess Bohlke was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 20 years old. Doctors told her she had five years to live. That diagnosis became the catalyst for everything she's built since: a thriving chiropractic practice, a family, a life she genuinely loves. But here's what she's learning now, eleven years later: surviving and thriving are not the same thing. And the hustle that got her here won't take her where she actually wants to go. This conversation goes deep. We're talking about what happens...
The word "sales" makes most of us want to run in the opposite direction. We didn't become chiropractors, coaches, or service providers to be salespeople. We did it because we genuinely want to help people transform their lives. But here's the uncomfortable truth we're diving into today: if you can't close the sale, you can't create the transformation. And that's not just bad for business. It's bad for the people who desperately need what you offer. This episode is about reframing everything y...
If you've been listening to this podcast, you've heard us talk about Pablo. Our mentor, our coach, the catalyst who nudged us to start this whole thing in the first place. He's the one who saw through the noise when we couldn't see ourselves clearly, who asked the questions that made us uncomfortable in the best way, and who has walked alongside us through our deepest transformations. Today, you finally get to hear from him directly. This conversation is a gift. Not just because you're hearin...
ONE FULL YEAR. AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. What started as a wild idea during a Marco Polo conversation has turned into a full blown movement. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa are popping champagne (metaphorically) and celebrating everything this first year has been: the vulnerable conversations, the incredible community that showed up, the first live event that proved people are hungry for this deeper work, and the evolution from nervous first timers to women who flow freely and unapologetically ...
Why do we feel guilty when we rest? What makes us believe that simply existing without producing is somehow taking our life for granted? In this continuation of Marisa's Achilles journey, Dr. Sara asks questions that cut straight to the heart. This isn't about physical healing anymore. It's about what happens when a high achiever is forced to sit still long enough to ask: am I worthy just because I exist, or only because of what I produce? 🔥 In This Episode: Why we struggle with the belief th...
Four downloads. Four distinct moments where Dr. Marisa's intuition screamed "stop doing box jumps or you're going to tear your Achilles." And she kept going anyway. Until the pop. This raw conversation captures Marisa one week post surgery discovering that her emotions aren't mutually exclusive, that rest isn't about being productive during downtime, and that sometimes the universe physically removes your ability to keep doing what you've always done so you have no choice but to finally learn...
Sometimes the most powerful business strategy is simply showing up as yourself. Fresh from the Living Brave conference in Denver, Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa share the paradigm-shifting insight that your story isn't just content, it's your competitive advantage. From Oracle card revelations in workout clothes to learning that your greatest shame might be your biggest offer, this quick episode unpacks how to stop comparing yourself to others and start rising to lead your unique message. 🔥 In This ...
Here we are at episode 52, exactly one year since we launched The Heart Work Podcast!! From that first vulnerable conversation to hosting our first live event, this year has been proof that when you lead with heart, everything accelerates. This past weekend, practice owners and their teams traded their polished professional facades for something infinitely more powerful. Four months from conception to reality, Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa's first Heart Work live event became proof of what happens ...
Sometimes the universe conspires to put you exactly where you need to be, even when it feels completely out of your comfort zone. What was supposed to be a simple weekend supporting their mentor Stephanie at the Living Brave conference in Denver became something none of them saw coming: a complete rewiring of how they understood surrender, abundance, and the power of showing up as themselves. Sara found herself buying entirely new outfits to get out of her own way and step fully into a confer...
What happens when you look back at your childhood through the lens of everything you've learned about healing? When you watch old family videos and suddenly see patterns that were invisible to your younger self? When you realize that the stories your family told about love, loyalty, and sacrifice were actually blueprints for generational patterns you never chose but somehow inherited? This episode takes you deep into the messy, beautiful work of family healing. Both Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa sh...
Picture this: You're four weeks old, breathing in flour dust at your family's pasta shop in South Jersey. Your Italian grandmother's stories of hiding Jewish families during World War II are woven into Sunday dinners. Your cousins are your best friends, your godfather is your hero, and you believe this unbreakable bond will last forever. Then one day, everything shatters. The business splits, invitations stop coming, and suddenly you're collateral damage in a war you never signed up for. This...
What happens when everyone tells you your dreams won't work, but that inner voice keeps getting louder? Dr. Andy and Dr. Kailey Armor moved to Montana with a month's notice, built Compass Chiropractic against all odds, and discovered that uncertainty isn't something to fear, it's where expansion lives. This conversation goes deep into the identity work required to build alongside your partner without losing yourselves. From Andy's journey discovering that vulnerability makes men stronger, not...
You've built the perfect systems, streamlined every process, and optimized every workflow. Your business should be humming like a well-oiled machine. But something's missing. Your team shows up, does the work, and goes home. They're following the playbook, but where's the spark? Where's the passion that transforms a group of employees into a force that makes clients feel something extraordinary? That's exactly why Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa are creating something completely different this Septem...
Picture this: you're so committed to serving everyone that you literally can't walk. Dr. Nikki Cottis was adjusting patients in professional heels, over-giving her way to financial struggle, until she tore her Achilles. When the orthopedist said she needed eight weeks off for surgery, Nikki knew something had to radically change. What unfolded was a complete identity reconstruction. She went from the woman who thought she had to save all of Alabama to the systems genius who teaches practition...
Picture this: You're the CEO of your practice, but every decision still runs through your brain. Every metric, every strategy, every team challenge lands squarely on your shoulders. Sound familiar? Today's conversation dives deep into the messy, magnificent reality of what it actually takes to build a team that thinks like owners, not just employees. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa unpack the evolution from solopreneur to strategic leader, sharing the exact frameworks they use to develop team members...
