BACK FROM THE BEST TRIP EVER!!! I had the best time when the ADA invited me to record an episode live at SmileCon in New Orleans this past weekend! It was such an honor to be invited, and this opportunity symbolized the accumulation of many hours of hard work and dedication.

Today I share 3 key tips to loving the process and every day little things you do in the dark that bring the bright big lights & shiny moments

JUST GOT BACK FROM VAIL!!!! I had the BEST time at The Making Of ___ retreat - shout out to Dr. Ashley Joves, Brian, and Collin for putting on the best retreat known to any dentist. We laughed, we cried, we learned a lot of valuable information, and I wanted to bring this all home to you - this conference was focused on dental practice owners, but I thought how cool would it be to instead see running your LIFE as the business. I take the tips they shared and correlate them to your life/care/wellness goals, so we discuss things like:
story time recap of retreat 00:00-12:45
tangible lessons & takeaway from lectures 12:45-end
- how to be more disciplined, create systems for achieving weekly minimum goals, and create self confidence and control with consistency
- how to create the best first impression, network
- how to stand out to patients and create an insanely awesome experience
all this and more - enjoy!

it's self care september!!! I wanted to do an episode about self care this month because in the season of fresh beginnings, new school years, and new routines/habits, one of the biggest things I've learned recently is how I had so many limiting beliefs/misconceptions about self care, rest, and what I am worth/deserve, and I am willing to bet you have felt the same way. In this episode we not only unpack the things you're allowing yourself to believe or telling yourself that are keeping you small & in your comfort zone, and instead how to break out of that while still allowing for moments and pockets of comfort & peace. I share things like my favorite current routines for sleep, diet, exercise, and mental health and also unpack fun things like the hatch and scentbird!

I knew I needed to make this an episode when I didn't want to talk about it lol...
I felt honestly scared, anxious, and shameful during the experience. And that's when I realized, if this is how I feel as a LITERAL DENTIST that recommends this to patients every day, I need to share how I'm feeling so that if you're going through this too, you realize you're not alone. Even if it's not a root canal, whatever it is that you're feeling alone and upset by, just know this can be a powerful part of your journey.
I share some surprising things I wasn't expecting to learn and feel, and ultimately what I took away from this experience about the decisions we ask patients to make, the experience of being in pain, and having to emotionally overcome hurdles we associate with treatment.

Sometimes it feels like talking to a wall when we make recommendations to patients. We want so desperately to help them, it's actually IMPERATIVE for their health that they listen, but how do we help anyone that doesn't want to hear what we have to say?
Mark Goulston's book, Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, teaches us how to draw people in so that they can't help but listen - but surprise, turns out WE'RE the problem that needs fixing first. The answer lies in this mistake you're repeatedly making, thinking this is how you get people to listen when you're only driving people farther away.
In this episode I unpack some of the incredible communications/business lessons from this book and tailor them to our scenarios every day at work as healthcare providers - here is how to ACTUALLY reach people and be heard.
