Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Ian Shulman, a pediatric and perinatal chiropractor from South Florida who's been practicing for 14 years and teaching with the ICPA for nearly a decade. In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Shulman shares his evolution from a goal-driven young practitioner to finding deeper meaning in presence and authenticity.

We explore his unique "Ianisms" (inherited from his chiropractor father), the transformative power of asking patients "What's new and wonderful?", and how coaching Little League baseball taught him invaluable lessons about taking time away from practice. Dr. Shulman opens up about the challenges of balancing professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and why he now focuses on praising his children for who they are rather than what they accomplish.

The conversation dives deep into the mission of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), the profound impact of chiropractic care on families, and an incredible birth story that demonstrates the life-changing potential of our profession. Whether you're struggling with practice burnout or looking to reconnect with your "why," this episode offers practical wisdom and renewed inspiration.

Key topics include: finding joy in patient care, the epigenetic impact of childbirth, creating space for presence, and why "life is better well-adjusted."

Get ready for a raw, unfiltered conversation with Dr. Kim - a second-generation chiropractor who's turning the healthcare world upside down with her unapologetic approach to natural wellness.

In this power-packed episode, Dr. Kim reveals how she built a thriving cash-only practice that's so successful, she made her mortgage payment in just 2 hours and 15 minutes on a Saturday. But this isn't just about the money - it's about a philosophy that challenges everything you think you know about healthcare.

What You'll Discover:

• Why Dr. Kim's favorite patient is a 4-hour-old baby (and why that matters for your family's health)
• The "smooth dance" technique that helps babies sleep through the night and eliminates ear infections
• How to price yourself as the premium option in your field without apology
• The morning routine that keeps her fired up to "change the world"
• Why she believes authenticity is the secret weapon for any wellness practitioner
• The real story behind building a practice that attracts clients who "can afford great care"

This episode is perfect for:

• Healthcare practitioners ready to break free from insurance limitations
• Parents curious about natural approaches to family wellness
• Anyone building a premium service business
• Entrepreneurs who want to learn how to charge what they're worth

Dr. Kim doesn't just practice chiropractic - she lives it. From her unvaccinated childhood to raising her own children the same way, she's walking proof that there's another path to optimal health. Whether you agree with her methods or not, you'll be inspired by her unwavering conviction and business success.

Warning: This episode contains strong language and bold opinions about healthcare choices. Dr. Kim doesn't ask for permission - she asks for forgiveness.

In this deeply philosophical conversation, Jodi sits down with Dr. Wade, a chiropractor whose journey from high school dropout to joy-filled practitioner embodies the transformative power of chiropractic principles as life principles. Wade shares his unique perspective on being a "multi-dimensional being" navigating this realm with maximum joy and love.

Wade reveals how chiropractic became his "practical compass for life" when he first experienced it as a teenager already questioning societal constructs. He explains why he refuses to separate his spiritual journey from chiropractic practice, viewing the profession's principles as universal life principles rather than mere clinical protocols.

The conversation explores Wade's philosophy of "as I bless, I am blessed" - how the vulnerability and intimacy required in true chiropractic care creates an energetic exchange that leaves him "drunk all day long" with the joy of practice. He discusses the MLS methodology and how proper technique should enliven rather than deplete the practitioner.

Key insights include:

• Why he describes himself as a "multi-dimensional being" rather than just a name
• The importance of pattern interrupters and asking questions instead of lecturing
• How boundaries and saying "no" are essential for joy-filled ambassadorship
• Why chiropractors are "doctors of second chances" offering paradigm shifts
• The difference between doing things TO people versus serving WITH them
• How the chiropractic curriculum has been "hijacked" away from its philosophical roots

Wade's perspective on joy as a birthright rather than a privilege offers a refreshing counter to the guilt-based messaging that keeps practitioners from fully embracing their gifts. His early morning rituals, European adventures, and connection to synchronicity paint a picture of someone truly living their principles.

Whether you're a burned-out practitioner or someone curious about the deeper dimensions of healing work, Wade's authenticity and philosophical depth provide both inspiration and practical wisdom for living more joyfully.

In this deeply grounding conversation, Jodi sits down with Bonnie (Jyothi), a yoga teacher with over 25 years of experience who brings remarkable authenticity to the intersection of spiritual practice and everyday life.

Bonnie shares her foundational teaching that "the mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master," explaining how practitioners can learn to trust the wisdom of their body and energy rather than getting caught in mental loops. She breaks down practical concepts like prana (life force), dharma (life purpose), and karma in accessible terms that apply directly to healthcare practice.

The conversation explores how to maintain joy and presence when everything feels chaotic - from ringing phones to difficult patients to personal struggles. Bonnie reveals her personal journey of discovering how childhood trauma with disabled parents showed up in her practice when clients wouldn't follow her guidance, and how asking "where am I leaking prana?" became a tool for reclaiming her energy.

Key topics include:

• Why mantras work as bridges across mental chaos
• How to use "what did you love as a kid?" as a compass back to joy
• The art of code-switching between silly and serious with clients
• Tremoring and other somatic practices for healing stored trauma
• Understanding subluxations and tension patterns as "stories waiting to unwind"
• Why integration beats elimination when processing difficult experiences

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner feeling burned out or someone just beginning to explore the connection between spiritual practice and professional life, Bonnie's humble wisdom offers practical tools for finding your authentic flow state - the same presence you feel when everything clicks with a patient, but accessible throughout your entire day.
