We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with.

A NECESSARY ENDING || 5 lessons from losing Lux.
Manage episode 473785710 series 2360463
Content provided by Dr. Don MacDonald. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Dr. Don MacDonald or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://staging.podcastplayer.com/legal.
In this heartfelt solo episode of The Informed Chiropractor, Dr. Don MacDonald shares the profound personal journey of saying goodbye to Lux, Brandi, and his beloved dog of over 12 years. Through the lens of Dr. Henry Cloud’s book Necessary Endings, Don explores what it truly means to let go, whether that’s a loyal companion, that toxic staff member, a limiting mindset, or an outdated version of ourselves or our practice.
This episode dives deep into five powerful lessons born from grief, reflection, and the wisdom of necessary endings:
- Grief is a sign of deep connection
- Endings are required for new growth.
- The pain of holding on can be greater than the pain of letting go.
- You must grieve the old to welcome the new fully.
- Endings make us more human—and more connected.
Whether you’re a chiropractor navigating change in your practice, re-evaluating systems, or feeling the call for a new season in life, this episode is for you. Dr. Don weaves insights from the Necessary Endings book with reflections on neurological safety, polyvagal theory, and the emotional weight often accompanying growth and evolution.
Sometimes, the very thing we’re holding onto is holding us back. This conversation may be the nudge to create space for the next level of your purpose and practice.
