We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Erin O’Daniel & Dr. James Cardo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Erin O’Daniel & Dr. James Cardo, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The success of Flower of Life Chiropractic can be attributed to our unwavering commitment to our purpose and beliefs. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, “Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens.” This quote resonates with us because it encapsulates the essence of our journey – a journey marked by struggles, challenges, and relentless dedication to our mission.

At the core of our success lies a steadfast adherence to our purpose: to uplift humanity through balancing the brain and nervous system. This purpose is not merely a tagline; it is the driving force behind every decision we make, the service we provide, and our interaction with our members. Our commitment to this purpose has been the guiding light that has kept us on course, even in adversity.

In health and wellness, where fads and quick fixes often dominate the landscape, Flower of Life Chiropractic stands out for its refusal to be swayed by gimmicks, potions, and supplements. We recognize that true well-being goes beyond superficial remedies; chiropractic adjustments can balance the brain and provide healing for everyone who walks through our door, from day-old infants to elders and everyone in between. We have stayed true to our belief in the body’s ability to adapt and heal when provided the right stimuli, environment, and by when nervous system stress is released. This unwavering faith in the magnificence of the human body sets us apart, allowing us to provide genuine and effective care to our members.

Our success is not measured solely by financial achievements but by our impact on our members’ lives. Our purpose extends to creating beautiful birth experiences for mothers and fostering the growth of well-adapted children who, in turn, become well-adapted parents. This cyclical effect is our way of contributing to positive change in the world.

Flower of Life Chiropractic has remained resilient despite challenges, refusing to compromise on our principles. The path to success has been paved with obstacles, but it is through overcoming these challenges that the true beauty of our journey emerges. Our commitment to providing unwavering care, rooted in our belief system, has created a foundation of trust and loyalty among our members.

Congruence is a cornerstone of our brand. We have stayed true to our message and purpose, ensuring that every aspect of our practice aligns with our core values. This consistency has contributed to Flower of Life Chiropractic’s success and solidified our reputation as a reliable and authentic provider of family chiropractic care.

Reflecting on our journey, we acknowledge that success is not a destination but a continuous evolution. Our unwavering faith in the body’s ability to adapt and heal propels us forward, driving us to refine our craft and expand our impact continually. Flower of Life Chiropractic’s success is not just about the services we offer; it is a testament to our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of our members and, ultimately, uplifting humanity.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Flower of Life Chiropractic stands out in the health and wellness industry because of our unwavering commitment to enhancing humanity by balancing our members’ brains and nervous systems. This balancing allows the body to function as it is intended to, be resilient to life stresses, and thrive. Our uniqueness stems from our steadfast refusal to be influenced by passing trends and shortcuts, prioritizing the body’s inherent capacity for adaptation and healing. We take pride in empowering and fostering beautiful birthing experiences for mothers and nurturing well-adapted, thriving children.

Our journey began in 2016 with the establishment of our practice in Brooklyn, NY. Although we have experienced numerous challenges, we’ve surmounted these obstacles through resilience and an unrelenting dedication to our mission. They call it practice for a reason: we have learned valuable lessons, continually assessed, and learned to pivot while adhering to our principles and maintaining consistency in our message and actions. Recently expanding to North Richland Hills in 2023, we chose this community to raise our family, bringing our vision of uplifting humanity to the heart of DFW.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First, we would start our day by exploring the Clear Fork Farmers Market. Next, we’ll head to a local taco hotspot for lunch. After filling our stomachs with chips, salsa, and guacamole, we will kick off the afternoon with a trail walk on Bear Creek Trail or Trinity Trail, allowing us to catch up while soaking up the Texan sun.

In the afternoon, we might explore the Fort Worth Stockyards, witness the daily cattle drive, visit historic sites, and immerse ourselves in the authentic Texan cowboy atmosphere.

For a relaxing evening, we could wind down at one of Fort Worth’s charming breweries or rooftop bars, savoring local brews and light eats while enjoying the cityscape. If the timing aligns, we could catch a live music performance at a nearby venue or decide to relax and play fetch with our Frenchies in our backyard.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Although there are many mentors, organizations, and books that have positively influenced our success, our parents have served as the most invaluable mentors in shaping our professional success and personal growth. Their guidance and encouragement have provided a foundation for navigating the complexities of the professional world. Additionally, their unwavering support has influenced our pursuits in competing in gymnastics (Dr. Erin) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Dr. James). These disciplines, particularly the training received at The Mats Academy, have imparted lessons that transcend physical skills. Dr. James attributes a significant portion of his success to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, highlighting its role in cultivating mental fortitude and perseverance. The fusion of parental mentorship and the diverse lessons from gymnastics and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shapes us into resilient, multidimensional individuals capable of tackling challenges both in our professional endeavors and personal pursuits.
