More about Trust Driven Insights Episode 12

When a specialist told 19-year-old rugby player Melanie Emlyn she’d never run or play sports again, it shaped nearly two decades of her life. But instead of giving up, Mel rewrote her story—becoming a yoga teacher, a flight attendant, and eventually an osteopath helping others heal.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Josh Satterlee explores how Mel’s journey from devastating diagnosis to trusted clinician reveals why words matter—and how small shifts in communication can change a patient’s life forever.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:

✅ How a single diagnosis can alter a lifetime of decisions
✅ “Forever talk” and the hidden harm of absolute language
✅ Using teach-back to ensure patients understand—not just hear—you
✅ Flight-attendant de-escalation skills applied to healthcare
✅ Building authentic trust through community and vulnerability
✅ Practicing humility and empathy in every patient interaction

Whether you’re a chiropractor, osteopath, PT, or healthcare professional, this episode will remind you why trust—and the words we use—are the foundation of care.
