Sometimes the best moments in business happen when everything goes hilariously, beautifully off-script. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa dive into the wild, wonderful, and wonderfully weird world of running a family chiropractic practice where six-year-olds lick ankles, grandmothers flash the lobby, and toddlers want cowboy boots "just like Dr. M's."
This episode is pure joy wrapped in honest conversation about what it really means to create a culture where humans can be fully, authentically human. From navigating wardrobe malfunctions during scans to being someone's inspiration for bangs (yes, really), these stories remind us that the magic happens in the unscripted moments.
🔥 What You'll Hear:
Why a little girl pretending to be a dog taught them everything about meeting people where they are
The art of staying professional when patients forget the "pants stay on" rule
How team pranks and TikTok trends create the kind of workplace culture people actually want to be part of
When being looked up to means everything from hairstyle choices to shoe preferences
The beautiful vulnerability of working with families through every season of life
The Real Talk: This isn't just about funny patient stories. It's about recognizing that behind every business are real humans with real needs, and sometimes the most profound leadership lessons come from unexpected moments of connection and chaos.
These aren't just "work stories." They're reminders that when you show up with your whole heart, create space for others to do the same, and find joy in the beautifully messy reality of human connection, that's when the real magic happens. That's when work becomes more than work. That's when you're not just running a practice – you're creating a place where people belong.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
