What happens when the chiropractor who built one of Utah's leading family wellness practices realizes she's been sacrificing everything to prove her worth? Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa sit down with Dr. Kristina Kill (formerly Stitcher) for the most raw conversation yet about the brutal cost of having no boundaries, the health crises that forced her to face hard truths, and why sometimes loving your profession means learning to say no.
This episode isn't just about chiropractic, it's about the courage to rebuild your entire approach to success when you realize you've been running on fumes and calling it passion. From spinal fusion surgery to divorce, from cancer to finding her voice again, Dr. Kristina proves that your deepest challenges aren't derailing your purpose, they're refining it.
🔥 In This Episode:
- The moment Dr. Kristina realized "getting adjusted" wasn't enough when she was pushing herself beyond physical limits
- How weight struggles, spinal surgery, and health crises became her greatest teachers about authentic service
- "Care but don't carry" — the boundary that will revolutionize how you serve patients
- The power of saying "we're not a good fit" with love and watching the universe deliver the right patients
- Why the profession's "prove yourself" mentality is killing practitioners and how to break free through authentic boundaries
After 21 years, a spinal fusion, cancer, divorce, and complete practice transformation, Dr. Kristina has MORE fire in her belly now than when she started. Because real success isn't about proving you can handle everything. It's about knowing what deserves your energy and what doesn't.

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.
