To Be Great At Something, We Have To First Suck
Imagine if we told her, “unless you can say the words correctly, don’t say them at all.” Imagine if she thought, “I look silly when I walk and I don’t want people to laugh at me so I’ll just not even try.” Ludicrous, right?! Innately we know that we don’t learn by never trying. We…
Read MoreDon’t Compare Behinds!
Don’t Compare BEHINDS! One summer at pom camp, I suddenly became aware of how BEHIND we were. Not only were our team uniforms horribly out of fashion, even our choreography was outdated. I remember watching squads from big city schools perform and thinking “oh god…. we look like a bunch of country bumpkins….” The funny…

If you’ve ever signed a contract with a practice management company, and then found that it was a horrible fit this post is for you. If you’ve always sworn off chiropractic coaching because you knew the high volume thing wasn’t for you, this post is for you. If the traditional model of success in chiropractic…
Read MoreWho would you be if you weren’t a chiropractor?
I popped out of my office yesterday in between clients to go use the bathroom. On my way, I breezed by our sleeping baby. But then I backtracked. And I stood over her for a few seconds, just watching her sleeping. You know, #stalkermom style 🤣 But seriously though, I had a moment. With my…
Read MoreCan’t you just work harder?
Can’t you just work harder? I mean, seriously. It’s such a shame…. You have a duty to teach the world about chiropractic. Everyone with a spine who’s breathing needs chiropractic care.

Read MoreLosing a baby made me seriously doubt chiropractic was the right career for me.
I started my first practice just after becoming a mom. That seemed like a really brave choice at the time, and looking back I still see it that way now. But little did I know all the twists and turns that lay ahead…… See, a week after I walked across that stage with my DC…
Read MoreWould you like THESE results for yourself and your family?
Three years ago, when Aligned Women was just getting started I had only my own story to tell. I had started a practice that was profitable in under 90 days, and I did it working less than 15 hours a week and used only FB for “marketing.” It was a huge weight lifted in our…

Read MoreDid you know that setting better boundaries will help grow your practice?
WEEKENDS… I used to use the weekends to: try to catch up on SOAP notes, write blogs, pay bills, respond to 100,000 emails clean the house woman a stretching and taping tent at a race and about a thousand other things. Well, the truth is that I TRIED to do all of these things on…
Read MoreWhat IS “Balance,” Actually?
We’re moms.We’re chiropractors. We’re all after this thing we call work/life balance. But what IS balance actually? Well, here’s how balance was (not) going for me on Sunday: My kids requested lunch at Subway. Far from my favorite, but fine. We hadn’t even gotten through the check-out line when my three year old peed in her pants. …
