Everyone seems to have opinions and advice about your life, about your goals, about your career aspirations. As youāre weighing out all the advice, itās important to take inventory of where itās coming from. Telling someone about your plans to run a marathon-but theyāve never even ran a 5K? Talking about leaving a corporate job to venture out and start your own business- but theyāve always been an employee? Itās okay to listen to it all, but make sure the true guidance comes from those who are where you want to be. And remember, no one above you will ever judge you from trying to climb there.

I canāt be the only one to feel it. The constant pressure after scrolling social media and seeing everyoneās highlight reels about accomplishments and trips and promotions and the list goes on and on and onā¦ Itās so easy today to find ourselves playing the comparison game while doom scrolling. This is your reminder that while itās great to help our friends and family celebrate their wins, that social media is usually just a highlight reel. Focus on your own journey- youāre right on time.

Not everyday will be good. But we have to remember that there's usually a little good in every day. The good ones make us grateful, make us laugh, bring us joy. The bad days-- yes, they may make us cry, but they are often the best teacher. Try to find something good (no matter how small) in each day. Make it a great week š¤Dr. Sam

In the spirit of giving your brain and body a rest, today's MM was scheduled ahead of time while I'm up north recharging with my husband. It's so easy to give into the rat race, to over-schedule our days and to feel guilty taking a day 'off' to spend time with the people you love or simply to give your mind and body a break. This is your reminder to schedule some down time for yourself. The work will always be there. The emails will wait. Summer in Michigan is short-- make the most of it. Make it a great week š¤ Dr. Sam

The choices we make today have a significant impact on our futures. The good news? We have an opportunity to start new and make better choices each morning we wake up. Being mindful about what we put in and on our bodies matters. What we spend our time consuming from TV and social media matters. How we choose to move our bodies matters. Not quite sure where to start? Reach out. You donāt have to make all the changes in one day, but small changes over time add up to big results. Your future self is relying on you, make it count!
Make it a great week! š¤ Dr. Sam

Who's felt it? This concept came up while out on a run with a friend. We were talking about how it's usually right when you're about to throw in the towel that the magic is about to happen. And it's not easy to sit in it- the discomfort, the quiet, the struggle, but that 9 times out of 10 when you do it's worth it and the breakthrough happens. This is your reminder that you are strong and capable of doing hard things. I encourage you to gut it out a little bit longer and try to learn from the experience. You got this!
Make it a great week! š¤ Dr. Sam

It is often said that chiropractic finds you, you do not find it. As I reflect on how life has played out over the last 5 years, Iāve found that to become true. My life as an avid runner is what led me to discover chiropractic in the first place. My biggest role model in my life is my mom, a bad a** runner who inspired me to follow in her footsteps (pun intended). After my own struggles with weight, I took to running and havenāt looked back. In 2010 I ran my first marathon with my mom by my side the entire time, earning myself a Boston Qualifier. Despite getting into Boston for 2011, I was injury plagued following the marathon. An IT band injury kept me sidelined until I could rehab enough to get back to running. In 2012 I was able to run my second full marathon and in 2013 my third. After my 2013 marathon, my IT band injury returned. I took some time away from running while I finished up my undergrad career at the University of Michigan. During this time I adopted various cross-training activities to maintain my fitness level and also spent a great deal of time in physical therapy and doing rehabilitation on my own. Nothing was quite getting me back to running pain free.
Upon graduation in May 2014 with a Movement Science degree, I was back to running some but continued to be plagued by injury. I moved home with my parents and was working as a secretary in the construction field while trying to figure out what my next steps were. Not being able to run as far or as fast as I wanted to was growing old. Finally, my dad suggested I go see his chiropractor. It was my last resort, as Iād tried just about everything to relieve the pain and get back to running like I knew I could. I remember calling to make an appointment and being told the doctor has a 6-week waiting list- the 22 year old version of myself was annoyed and couldnāt comprehend a 6-week wait (we Millenials are truly all about instant gratification and this situation was no exception). I remember getting a call from the office while at work one afternoon in August of 2014 asking me if Iād like to move my appointment up earlier as there had been a cancellation; I jumped at the opportunity and headed off to the chiropractor. I remember my first visit like it was yesterday.
I sat in the doctorās office and she listened to my story, acknowledged my frustration with not being able to do what I loved. She took the time to examine and assess me, acknowledging how interconnected the body is and helped me understand how each of my symptoms related to each other and to the underlying dysfunction I was experiencing. After an explanation of what she had found and an explanation of how she could help, she began to treat. My initial treatment included what I now understand as dry needling, Active Release and an adjustment. I remember rolling over for a side-posture adjustment and looking up at her diploma that read āDoctor of Chiropractic.ā In that moment, as the adjustment was delivered I decided to myself that I was going to be a chiropractor.
Lots happened between November 2014 and August 2015 as I preparred to move to St. Louis and start school. I drove myself down to school on August 28, 2015 and stepped out of my car into 100 degree weather with 90% humidity at 9 oāclock at night at an apartment I rented sight unseen and thought to myself āwhat did I do?ā I spent time exploring the area and running at the parks nearby until school started on September 8, 2015. After that White Coat Ceremony, the next 3.5 years seemed to fly by. I spent countless hours studying and got involved in as many extracurricular activities as I could. I continued running and working out, made some incredible life-long friends, gained new mentors, traveled all over the US for seminars and fell more in love with chiropractic each and every day. I can honestly say there was not one morning that I woke up and did not want to go to school- that is something I realize is special and I will always cherish. The journey came full circle on December 22, 2018. I graduated magna cm laude with my Doctor or Chiropractic and summa cm laude with my Masters in Sport Science & Rehabilitation. Walking on graduation day was the culmination of years of hardwork, but also the start of a new journey that will require dedication, patience and sacrifice.
The journey was tough- lots of good days and bad, but Iām thankful to have been surrounded by such inspiring and supportive people to help me through. About half way through the journey I decided that upon graduation I would start my own practice. The challenge of doing so excited me and kept me going each and every day. I am grateful to all of those who have been part of the journey and am thankful to have so many mentors in the healing arts and in business who have helped me and continue to help me turn my dreams into reality. I now understand that there is a reason for everything in life and I would not change one thing as they have all led me to where I am right now. I am so lucky that chiropractic chose me and am excited to serve in the best profession in the world for the rest of my life. After a long and winding journey, with a dream and the support of many, Element Chiropractic & Wellness is excited to serve you!
