| Why Is It So Hard to Hire? Five Strategies That Actually Work | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:10:16 | |
You posted the job. You waited. A promising candidate no-showed their interview. Another never sent the requested materials. A third interviewed beautifully, accepted the offer, and disappeared. You're starting to wonder if something's wrong with you, your clinic, or the entire concept of hiring. Nothing's wrong with you. The game has just changed. In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she tackles the post-pandemic hiring reality head-on with five practical strategies for filling positions in today's challenging landscape. Her diagnosis of the problem? "At the end of the day, I think it's mostly about mental health. We've all spent two years doing really hard things and our brains are smart. We're going to do everything we can at this point to avoid hard things." Kendall's five tips range from mindset shifts (lower your expectations, be patient) to tactical approaches (try Wisehire.com, step up your benefits, sell your business to applicants). Perhaps most important is the reframe around who's interviewing whom: "Interviewees are coming in wanting to make sure you have your stuff together... it's important to find ways to make sure they know exactly what to expect before they accept the position." Recorded four years ago but, as Kendall notes in her intro, "hiring challenges aren't new... some things never change." If you're ready to pull your hair out trying to hire right now, this episode confirms you're not alone—and offers a clear path forward.

| The Honest Truth About Work-Life Balance (And What Actually Works Instead) | 17 Jul 2026 | 00:10:24 | |
Someone tells you they balance it all—the business, the kids, the relationships, the self-care, the team, the admin, all of it, perfectly. Do you believe them? Kendall doesn't. As she says right from the start: "The short answer is, of course I do not balance it all. And if anyone tells you they do, they are lying." In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she tackles one of the most common questions wellness center owners ask—and immediately dismantles the premise. The goal isn't balance. It's integration. Kendall walks through her personal framework for staying well as a business owner: starting with radical acceptance that "while I'm giving full attention to one thing, I'm not going to be giving full attention to another." From there, she shares her practical scheduling approach—blocking self-care appointments first, building in buffer space for the unexpected, and writing out both current and ideal schedules based on core values. She also addresses the support structures that make integration possible: childcare help, a clinic coordinator, proximity to family, and letting go of perfectionism at home. "We're just not going to have the cleanest house on the block." Short, honest, and immediately actionable, this episode gives wellness practitioners permission to stop chasing balance—and start building a life and work they can actually sustain.

| How to Build a Team that Embodies Your Wellness Vision | 25 Mar 2026 | 00:26:22 | |
You've hired people with perfect credentials. Amazing clinical skills. Stellar references. But somehow, they still don't quite fit. They clash with your vision, resist your systems, or just don't seem invested in what you're building. What went wrong? In this episode from the Thriving Wellness Series, Kendall interviews Dr. Josh Satterlee, a Las Vegas chiropractor who's built everything from solo practices to a 12-provider clinic/gym hybrid over 17 years. Josh shares how his hiring philosophy evolved from seeking "cultural fit" to prioritizing "vision alignment"—a shift that transformed his ability to build engaged, cohesive teams. As Josh explains, cultural fit can become problematic: "It can become exclusionary, it can become based on our own biases and our own subjective experience." Vision alignment, by contrast, focuses on shared goals and direction while leaving room for diverse perspectives and approaches. Josh, founder of Trust Driven Care and a Wellness Center Creators Retreat sponsor, will be presenting on "Creating a Patient Experience that Builds Your Practice" at the 2026 retreat. His insights on hiring connect directly to his passion for patient communication and creating exceptional experiences—you can't deliver on your patient experience vision without team members who share it. Whether you're hiring your first team member or your twelfth, Josh's framework offers a more strategic approach than gut instinct or credential-checking alone.

| How to Master Systems for Clarity and Sustainable Growth in Wellness Practices | 20 Mar 2026 | 00:24:32 | |
You know you need systems. Every business book tells you so. But every time you try to implement one, it either falls apart within weeks or creates more work than it solves. What's wrong with you? Nothing—the systems just weren't built for the kind of work you do. In this episode from the Thriving Wellness Series, Anna tackles why wellness business owners feel overwhelmed by traditional systems advice. As she explains: "When people hear systems, they think of rigid structures, corporate tools, lot less humanity. And that creates the resistance. But systems, they're not supposed to replace the care and the humanity... they're meant to protect it." Anna introduces the concept of "humane systems"—structures designed not for your best day, but for real life. "A humane system is one that works in real life... they have to be repeatable, they have to be simple and they have to be forgiving." She shares a painful personal story about a payroll system failure that taught her crucial lessons about designing systems with built-in adaptability. The conversation covers the biggest mistakes wellness owners make (trying to fix everything at once, carrying everything personally) and why focus is more powerful than optimization. Anna's question reframes everything: "If one of my systems could improve by 20%, which one would change my life the most?" If you've felt like systems just don't work for your practice, this episode reveals why—and what to do instead.

Chris McDonald, a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor helps young adults transition into adulthood and provides holistic counseling services, navigating the conflicting expectations of traditional and holistic therapy. "It's bringing together treatment of the whole person instead of individual parts.

" Chris McDonald is a licensed clinical mental health counselor supervisor and host of the Holistic Counseling Podcast. She has a small group practice that focuses on working with young adults struggling with transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

She encourages self-care and the use of breath work, relaxation strategies and yoga to help clients calm their nervous systems.

| Smooth Transitions & Supporting Clients When a Provider Leaves | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:06:52 | |
Are you prepared for the transition when a provider leaves your team? With this episode we’re unpacking some things to consider when a provider leaves your team. Listen in and hopefully these strategies will help make your “farewells” a bit easier. I recommend an off-boarding list in place for when someone leaves, such as getting an official letter of resignation, scheduling an exit interview, making sure all patient notes are completed, returning office equipment, and removing access to systems. It is important to notify current patients early and often, providing them with a letter explaining the transition and three options of referral. It is also important to thank the provider publicly in an email and social media post, and end on a positive note with the employee who is leaving. If additional support is needed, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Help is available! "You will be remembered as the person who was understanding and kind.

| How to Build Your Dream Team and Master Collaboration in Your Wellness Practice | 11 Mar 2026 | 00:09:32 | |
You've got multiple practitioners under one roof. But are you running a collaborative practice or just a collection of independent contractors who happen to share space? There's a difference—and it matters more than you think. In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she tackles the question every multidisciplinary practice owner asks: How do I build a truly collaborative practice? As she emphasizes from the start: "Collaborative practices really start with the actual structure of the business as well as how you're showing up as a leader." The foundation begins with two non-negotiables: an employee model (not independent contractors) and weekly team meetings. These aren't just administrative preferences—they're the infrastructure that makes collaboration possible. From there, Kendall introduces the "Four Ps" framework: People, Processes, Products/Services, and Positioning, showing how to weave collaboration into each element. But structure alone isn't enough. As Kendall notes: "Collaboration takes vulnerability. We're asking our team members to build deep relationships with each other and to show up and share their expertise... So we as leaders also have to be vulnerable." Whether you're starting a new practice or trying to transform your existing room rental model into something more cohesive, this episode provides the foundational principles for building a practice where practitioners actually work together—not just work alongside each other.

| When Drama Invades Your Team: Strategies for Restoring Workplace Harmony | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:27:05 | |
You walk into the staff room and the conversation stops. Suddenly. Everyone's eyes dart away. Your stomach drops. Are they talking about you? About the business? And how did things get to this point without you noticing? Anna and Kendall tackle the uncomfortable reality of team drama, gossip, and toxicity in wellness practices. As Anna shares from a particularly difficult period: "Every time I walked into the staff room, it got quiet... And I was internalizing it. Like, they're definitely gossiping about me." The conversation explores why practice owners are often the last to know when problems are brewing, how to create communication systems that surface issues early, and when drama indicates someone needs to leave the team. Kendall shares a sobering realization: "I thought there was one or two people causing drama... but then I realized it didn't actually start with them. It started with someone in leadership, which is a gigantic problem." Both hosts address the emotional toll of dealing with team dynamics, with Kendall admitting: "When someone's been talking behind the scenes and making up some story about me and my decisions, I go right back to middle school... it makes me so sad, and it makes me feel really out of control." The episode balances practical strategies (asking direct questions in check-ins, defining gossip vs. venting) with emotional validation for the isolation leaders often feel when navigating team challenges.

| How Couples Navigate Wellness Center Challenges Together | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:18:22 | |
Your vision is crystal clear. You can see the wellness center, the team, the impact you'll make. But your spouse looks at the numbers and sees... risk. How do you bridge this gap when you process risk and money completely differently? In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she brings in the person who knows this challenge best: her husband Tim. With his engineering and MBA background, Tim approached Kendall's wellness center dream very differently than she did. As he admits: "My biggest fear was, is it going to work out on paper? Does this add up? Is this going to be a sustainable business model?" The conversation reveals how their different approaches—Kendall's vision board versus Tim's spreadsheets—actually complemented each other. Tim shares the turning point when his fear shifted: "When the providers came on board and then you see that they're as passionate about it as you are... at that point, it's going to work." Perhaps most valuable is Tim's reflection on what he'd tell himself five years ago: "Trust Kendall. She's amazing. She's passionate, and she's not going to let this business fail." He also discusses the reality of being married to a business owner: "You can't really turn it off... it's your baby." This honest conversation offers hope for couples navigating the tension between entrepreneurial dreams and financial caution.
