Welcome to episode 48 of the Cultivating Success podcast. Today we've got a solo episode with Dr. Bremner. She starts off sharing about the move to her new office and some of the snags she encountered along the way, and then she transitions to a recent real-world interaction on the basketball court that sparked deeper reflection about protecting the spaces you love. She unpacks what it means to be authentic, how to protect the spaces that matter most to you, and to position yourself with both kindness and confidence.

You’ll hear practical insights on knowing what you stand for, speaking up when it counts, and intentionally building your life and practice around the spaces you care about. When you do, you not only protect your values, you also naturally attract the right people who fit into the practice community you’re creating.

Welcome to Episode 47 of the Cultivating Success Podcast!

Today marks a special milestone as Dr. Nor takes the mic for her first-ever solo episode—diving deep into the topics of fulfillment and purpose. She opens up about her journey into chiropractic care and the moment she discovered her calling in upper cervical chiropractic.

Dr. Nor shares how purpose fuels her daily practice: from working through complex cases to witnessing life-changing transformations in her patients, she reflects on how even the smallest conversations can carry meaning and inspire her to keep showing up with intention and heart. For students and fellow chiropractors, she offers an honest challenge: audit your days. Are they aligned with your deeper purpose? Are you finding fulfillment?

Dr. Nor also touches on the freedom that comes with upper cervical care—not just for her patients, but for her own life and practice. She highlights the importance of creating a business that supports not only healing others but also living fully outside of the clinic.

This episode is a reminder that success isn't just about achievement—it's about alignment, purpose and building a life that has both!

Welcome to episode 45 of the Cultivating Success podcast!

In today’s episode, we are joined by recent graduate Dr. Luca O’Brien all the way from Barcelona! Together with Dr. Bremner, he reflects on his time at Palmer and how his passion for NUCCA Upper Cervical care has translated into real-world practice. Throughout the episode, they discuss the “unteachable moments” that only come through experience. They explore the challenge of treating root causes rather than just symptoms, and the importance of not overselling care, letting patients know that real results take time. Dr. O’Brien shares surprising lessons he has learned around managing patient care and the learning curve of gaining consistent patients and the need to build trust and communication with them.

He contrasts practicing in the U.S. vs abroad and highlights the differences in insurance and costs of care, patient mindset, and the newness of chiropractic in some regions. They also touch on adapting to different environments, simplifying language to avoid confusing patients with chiropractic lexicon, and navigating practical aspects like overhead costs and marketing strategies to help yourself succeed in the real world. This is an episode you don’t want to miss! Thanks for listening!

Which comes first — happiness or success? In today’s episode, Dr. Bremner and Dr. Jobarah dig into the concept of laziness — but not in the way you might expect. They unpack three surprising types of laziness: procrastination, distraction, and self-doubt, and explore how these show up in our efficiency, mindset, and even the way we design and live our lives.

They also dive into why prioritizing happiness before success might just be the key to lasting success — and how the people you surround yourself with play a major role in that equation.

The episode wraps with practical, doable shifts you can start making today to support a calmer, more fulfilling life — whether that’s reconnecting with nature, breaking your doom-scrolling habit, or simply being more mindful.
