Show Notes
What actually changes when you stop running your clinic on hustle and start running it like a CEO? And what happens when you realize—only a year into ownership—that the practice you bought came with ten-year problems?
In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Carrie Silveira, a chiropractor who went from CA to associate to clinic owner in record time and found herself overwhelmed, underpaid, and dangerously close to burnout. Carrie shares her unfiltered experience inside Uncharted CEO, what finally forced her to pause and look at the numbers, and how building real systems transformed not just her practice, but her leadership and sanity. They discuss profit leaks, team accountability, using AI to regain time, and why working harder is rarely the answer.
Key Takeaways
- Buying a practice does not guarantee profitability. Inheriting systems, staff, and overhead without clear margins can create instant burnout if not addressed early.
- Clarity creates momentum. Deep financial visibility and defined KPIs allow clinic owners to make confident decisions instead of reacting emotionally.
- Teams perform better with measurable goals. Clear expectations and simple metrics can completely change staff engagement and ownership.
- Time freedom starts with systems. Leveraging AI and structured processes reduces decision fatigue and allows owners to focus on leadership instead of survival.
About the Guest
Dr. Carrie Silveira is a chiropractor on California’s Central Coast who has spent over 15 years in the same practice—first as a chiropractic assistant, then as an associate, and ultimately as the owner after purchasing the clinic two years ago. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West with honors, Dr. Silveira specializes in gentle techniques for older and more fragile bodies, helping patients who have been told they “just have to live with it.” With six additional years of education in functional medicine, she brings a deeper investigative lens to uncovering root causes of dysfunction. Outside the clinic, she enjoys making natural skincare products, dreaming of travel, and spending time with family and friends.
