What happens when the place you heal people and the place you raise your family are the exact same building — and you lose both in a single fire? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Amy Robinson, one of TCP's most downloaded guests ever, for a raw conversation about rebuilding a home-based practice from literal ashes, why she chose to stay and expand rather than start over somewhere new, and the mantra that carried her through: "who I am as a person precedes who I am as a chiropractor." Amy also opens up about co-founding CNAC (the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractors), why national representation matters for neurologically-focused practitioners, and what she's seeing in kids' nervous systems post-COVID that has her both worried and hopeful.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How Dr. Amy lost her home-based practice and her home in the same fire — and the choice she made to rebuild in place instead of walking away
- The mantra that got her through the hardest years: separating her identity from her role as a chiropractor
- Why she co-founded CNAC in 2019 and stepped in as the inaugural board chair for six years
- Why "no press is bad press" when it comes to chiropractic and nervous system regulation going mainstream
- What she's observing in kids' stress, anxiety, and developmental patterns since COVID — and what actually helps
- The advice she'd give her younger self standing in the wreckage of that fire
