In this festive tradition, Lauryn is joined by Kirby for a Christmas-themed game of Would You Rather—and things get honest, funny, and surprisingly insightful very quickly.

Your clinic’s real estate decisions can quietly make—or break—your profitability. In this episode of She Slays the Day, Lauryn sits down with Colin Carr, Founder and CEO of CARR Healthcare Realty, to unpack why leases, buildouts, renewals, and location strategy are some of the most overlooked yet financially impactful decisions practice owners make. Colin explains where providers commonly lose money, how landlords think during negotiations, and what healthcare professionals should be doing differently to protect cash flow, reduce risk, and build long-term leverage through smarter clinic real estate decisions.

Key Takeaways

• Why real estate is often the largest hidden expense in a healthcare practice
• Common lease mistakes that cost practice owners tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars
• How negotiation leverage shifts depending on timing, renewals, and market conditions
• The difference between landlord-friendly deals and provider-protected agreements
• How strategic real estate decisions directly impact profitability, scalability, and exit options

What if the only thing standing between you and your breakthrough year… is your comfort zone? In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Lauryn gets radically honest about the habits, mindset shifts, and uncomfortable changes required to create a life, business, and level of health that don’t just look good on a vision board — but actually happen in real life. If you’re tired of feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns, this episode will wake you up in the best way.

Lauryn dives into the truths most high achievers avoid: why comfort quietly kills momentum, how ceilings form inside us long before they show up in our numbers, and why the body always keeps the score when ambition goes unchecked. She shares her 2026 plan with total transparency — from tightening her health habits after an unexpected AFib diagnosis, to leveling up her business strategy, to grounding her goals in faith and intention. If you're ready for a year that asks more of you (and rewards you for it), this is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways

• Growth requires discomfort — every time. Lauryn breaks down why comfort zones create stagnation, how to identify the real ceilings in your life and business, and what it takes to push through them with intention and clarity.
• Your health is part of your success strategy. After facing a surprising AFib diagnosis, Lauryn shares how stress, ambition, and ignored habits catch up — and why your body will always force changes you don’t willingly make.
• Big goals demand real systems. Learn how to reverse-engineer revenue, plan launches, delegate effectively, and treat your business like a business rather than “fun money.”
• Your relationships and faith must evolve with your ambitions. Lauryn explores how marriage, spirituality, and emotional grounding become non-negotiable when you’re scaling your life in any direction.

In the second half of Lauryn’s conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they shift from lead behavior and AI into a bigger, more powerful discussion: what the future of marketing will actually look like. As AI becomes standard and consumer behavior continues to evolve, funnels are losing their influence, trust is becoming the currency, and personal brand is emerging as the most important marketing strategy for practice owners. This episode explores how community, authenticity, and consistent human connection are reshaping how people make decisions in 2027 and beyond.

Lauryn and Ryan break down the rise of the “messy middle,” why reactivations are increasing with print newsletters, how workshops and in-person experiences are changing, and why being known, liked, and trusted will matter more than any ad strategy. If Part 1 explained why lead behavior has changed, Part 2 dives into what to do next—and how to position your clinic and brand for the new era of marketing.

Key Takeaways:

• The strongest marketing strategy of the future is community, not funnels. As consumers become more skeptical of being sold to, trust, belonging, and personal brand will outperform traditional lead-generation tactics.
• The “messy middle” explains today’s nonlinear buying behavior. People now require multiple platforms, repeated exposures, and varied touchpoints before making a decision—making consistency more important than conversion tricks.
• Print newsletters and human connection are making a comeback. Physical, tangible touchpoints create unusually strong recall and retention, especially in a digital world saturated with automated content.
• AI will streamline tasks, but authenticity will be the differentiator. Practices that pair AI efficiency with genuine, relatable human presence will dominate the next phase of patient engagement and brand loyalty.

Why are new patient leads harder than ever to convert? Why do people click “request appointment” and then ignore the phone when you call them back? In this eye-opening first half of Lauryn’s conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they break down the real reasons behind today’s lead behavior—and why overwhelmed, distracted consumers require a completely different approach than what practices used even a few years ago. If you’ve ever felt confused by inconsistent lead follow-up or disappointed by low booking rates, this episode will finally make the data make sense.

Together, Lauryn and Ryan unpack the psychology of modern consumers, the impact of decision fatigue, why response timing matters more than most practices realize, and how AI voice agents are beginning to fill critical gaps in speed-to-lead and consistent follow-up. You’ll learn what’s actually normal for booking percentages, why even great front desk teams struggle, and how understanding human behavior is the first step toward better systems, better conversions, and a more predictable new-patient pipeline.

Key Takeaways:

• Modern consumers are overwhelmed—leading to inconsistent follow-through. Ryan Rieder explains how decision fatigue, content overload, and “start now, finish later” behavior impact every step of the new-patient process.
• Speed-to-lead dramatically increases conversion rates. Answering or calling back within 60 seconds can multiply booking chances, but most practices aren’t staffed to respond that quickly consistently.
• AI voice agents fill the timing and capacity gap. Early AI adoption is helping small practices match the responsiveness and follow-up systems previously only available to large organizations.
• Lead quality vs. lead quantity is often misunderstood. Without understanding human behavior and response patterns, practices misjudge what their booking numbers really mean—and what realistic expectations should be.

What happens when old-school chiropractic passion collides with cutting-edge AI? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Beau Pierce for a wildly compelling conversation that starts with the roots of chiropractic philosophy, advocacy, and identity — and ends in the fast-approaching future of AI-powered practice growth. From political battles to professional awakening, Beau’s story reads like three careers compressed into one…and it reveals why chiropractic may be on the verge of its biggest evolution yet.

Together, they dive into why the early “cult-like fire” of chiropractic mattered, how evidence is finally catching up to philosophy, and what AI tools are poised to transform everything from documentation to patient education. They also break down Beau’s new AI projects, the rise of chiropractic-specific tech, and what the upcoming Virtual Chiropractic AI Summit will mean for every doctor who wants to grow smarter — not busier. If you want to understand where the profession is headed, this episode is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways:

• Chiropractic’s philosophical roots are resurging as younger and mid-career docs seek clarity, conviction, and identity in a rapidly shifting healthcare landscape.
• AI is the next major evolution of chiropractic, offering faster documentation, higher patient engagement, smarter EHR systems, and tools that finally demonstrate the neurological impact of adjustments.
• Advocacy is changing, and chiropractors must embrace both evidence and authenticity as they lead patients through an uncertain healthcare era.
• Future-ready practices will win, especially those that combine strong systems, AI-powered tools, and a bold voice rooted in chiropractic’s original mission.

In this week’s episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Profit Engineer and Infinite Money Mindset Coach Shaneh Woods for a transformative conversation about the energetic side of wealth. Together, they explore how burnout, self-worth, and old money stories can keep even high-achieving providers stuck in financial survival mode—and how true prosperity begins when you heal the way your body and mind respond to money itself.

What if the best time to start building your personal brand isn’t when you “have more time,” but right now—in Q4? In this solo episode, Dr. Lauryn unpacks the surprising reasons why the final months of the year are actually the perfect season for reflection, strategy, and planting the seeds of your next big opportunity. Instead of chasing the end-of-year hustle, she invites you to reframe this season as a time for clarity and creative growth.

Lauryn breaks down the three distinct phases of brand building—clarity, consistency, and monetization—and explains how to navigate each one without burnout. You’ll learn why phase one is all about discovery, how to build momentum in phase two, and what it really takes to reach phase three successfully. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, business owner, or aspiring creator, this episode will help you start your brand journey with purpose and peace.

Key Takeaways:

• Q4 is the ideal season for brand reflection and strategy. Instead of pushing harder, use this time to clarify your message and plant the seeds for future growth.
• Every personal brand grows through three core phases. Lauryn outlines the journey from clarity to consistency to monetization, showing how to move through each with confidence.
• You already have a personal brand. The key is learning how to shape and communicate it intentionally so it can serve your long-term goals.
• Starting small leads to sustainable success. Lauryn shares why just one intentional hour a week in Q4 can jump-start a lasting, authentic brand.
