Description

The Expanded Life is a no-fluff, strategy-driven podcast for clinic owners who want to increase new patients, grow revenue, build real systems, and finally get their time back.


Hosted by Dr. Danielle Roach, multi-location clinic owner and doctor of chiropractic, and her husband and marketing strategist, Kyle Roach, this show breaks down the exact systems, marketing frameworks, and mindset upgrades they used to grow Verve Chiropractic to $2M and three locations in two years.


If you’re stuck doing everything yourself, capped by your schedule, or frustrated with inconsistent new patients, this podcast meets you where you are, with clear steps, simple systems, and the strategy clinic owners actually need (not just theory).


Whether you’re trying to stabilize your first location, preparing to hire, optimizing your marketing machine, or expanding to multiple providers, each episode gives you actionable tools to grow without burnout.


Danielle and Kyle combine clinical experience + business strategy to pull back the curtain on what actually works in a modern brick-and-mortar practice, from patient experience and automation to leadership, team performance, and profitable marketing.


What You’ll Hear:


Marketing that generates new patients consistently
GBP, local SEO, Instagram strategy, referral partnerships, funnels, Google rankings, and automation.


Systems that scale
Day 1/Day 2 process, SOPs, scheduling, collections, KPIs, team efficiency, and patient retention.


Leadership + operations
Hiring, training, delegating, building a culture, improving communication, and managing performance.


Mindset + nervous system for clinic owners
Capacity expansion, avoiding burnout, nervous system regulation, and CEO-level decision-making.


If you’re asking these questions, this is your show:




  • “How do I get more new patients without relying on referrals or ads?”




  • “How do I grow revenue without adding more hours to my schedule?”




  • “How do I systematize Day 1/Day 2 so my conversions increase?”




  • “How do I build and train a team that I can trust?”




  • “How do I scale from one provider to multiple providers the right way?”




This is the podcast for when you're ready to stop hustling, start scaling, and build a business that runs without you doing absolutely everything.


Tune in to grow your clinic, simplify your systems, and reclaim your life—one episode at a time.

What if some of the things keeping you stuck are the things you never stopped to question?
