We cover a lot of real estate in this episode! We talk about how each guest has grown their business, used community to fuel them and the importance of discovering our purpose to inform our careers.
Dr. Sydney shares how she has built credibility and authority as a recent graduate and how she had the courage to move to a new state and start a new practice right out of school. Kristen shares how she has been able to identify the key ingredients that have made her successful in her career and leverage them in other industries to support hundreds of women entrepreneurs!

We’ve all heard of energy management, this takes that concept to the next level! Kristen inspires us to send that DM and ask for the coffee date we’ve been too afraid to ask for. Tune in and learn just how focusing on community building has rapidly expanded both of these amazing ladies’ businesses. 
Powerhouse Chiropractic serves women and children. They have invested tons of training in order to care for these populations the best! Whether it’s a traumatic birth, sensory challenges, allergies, anxiety, out of whack hormones or just trying to be proactive with your health, they care for it all.
They have found that when the brain starts to communicate better with the rest of the body through neurologically focused chiropractic care, miracles happen.
Dr. Sydney Bickmeyer decided she wanted to be a chiropractor when she went to her first chiropractic seminar with her dad at 15 years old. That is where she discovered the true power behind chiropractic care.
Growing up in a family who was adjusted since birth made it hard to see the miracles. But when she heard the stories of lives being changed through chiropractic care, there was no way she could do anything else. Dr. Sydney was so set on her vision of becoming a chiropractor that she made it her goal to get through school as efficiently as she could. That included years of doubling up on classes and learning to be extremely useful with her time.
During chiropractic school is when she found her passion for serving kids. She went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic where her group adjusted all the kids in the schools. There she fell in love with their youthful energy and realized that is ultimately where her own journey started with chiropractic.
Fast forward a few years, Dr. Sydney graduated chiropractic school at 24 years old and just shy of a postgraduate degree in pediatrics. She always knew her true calling was to open up her own practice right after school and that is what she did.
She moved to Arizona knowing no one in January of 2022 and opened her doors to the powerhouse the following November. She feels so blessed to be a part of the East Valley community.

About The Messy Middle Podcast & Radio Show
“Beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad but it’s the middle that counts the most.”- Hope Floats
We often talk about the beginnings and endings of things. We celebrate our firsts and mourn our lasts. We often ignore the in between, or what we like to call the messy middle. In this nebulous space, often there are no awards or recognition.
It is frequently characterized by the long days, hard work, uncertainty, self-doubt, small wins, setbacks, persistence, and sheer determination to simply keep moving forward. And, yet, it is also where the magic happens. The middle part of our journey is what shapes us, prepares us and fills our lives with meaning.
Welcome to the Messy Middle Podcast & Radio show! Each month we invite guests to share their own version of the Messy Middle and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
Whether you’re in the messiness of growing a business, healing from trauma, or navigating the wild world of parenting; this show is for you! We’re so excited to celebrate the messiness of life and business with you!
