S3 EP6 Why We Keep Chasing Western Validation (And What to Do) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode challenges chiropractors to let go of the need for external validation—particularly Western medicine’s version of ‘evidence’—and to reclaim their original purpose: supporting the body's ability to heal.

Over two hundred comments later, it was clear she isn't alone. This episode is about what that post cracked open in me, and what I believe we actually have to do if we want our profession to stop losing good people to burnout.
