I noticed in the last 6 months a change in my work day and work flow when I started implementing a new habit -

what I noticed was that patient's started asking me more of those questions I WANTED them to ask! They started asking more things about what I thought about a certain tooth, any tips to be healthier, and in general just wanted my expertise and feedback which is like every doctor's wet dream lol. What was the change?

It was all in the way I started appointments, in particular the series of questions I started the appointments with that made all the difference. Tune in to hear which questions changed the game for me, built trust, and ultimately has made my work day so much better.

I also break down my recent lifestyle favs to get through the dead of winter + the 3 small talk news stories of the week!

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!

we all carry around our heavy baggage from the pressure and standards we put on ourselves, the stories we tell about ourselves. What if you could put it all down? What if you could change that story you know to be true about yourself? This week's episode is all about giving you the permission to put that weight down, and re-invent yourself. It's about giving yourself the permission to be human, the permission to fail and try again, and the permission to rise above whatever is currently bothering you.

part II with masha (@mashakay) is here! we discuss why what we've previously learned in school about setting "SMART" goals (specific, measurable, blah balh blah) is actually false and you may be creating misaligned, inauthentic goals depending on how misaligned/unregulated your nervous state is! We chat about creating healthier goals starting from healthier nervous system states instead, how to spiral upwards towards success, and how to begin the journey of healing inner wounds and unpacking triggers.

so much of my day and mood sometimes feels dictated by how I react to the things I can't control. How someone feels about the dentist that day, how someone's body responds to treatment, how someone takes care of themselves - working in healthcare is exhausting because it feels like trying to manage many things we cannot control, and it can be so frustrating and take away the satisfaction and joy out of so much in our day. The thing that top performers in any industry have mastered is focusing their precious time and energy on the things they can control and not spending a second on the things they can't. in this episode we dive into the following things:

1. the top thing performers do to get ahead

2. the little things you don't realize that add up in the things you cannot control in your day

3. do you have a personal brand values list? is your day aligned with these values or are there things you should be eliminating?

4. are there ways you can eliminate distractions? this includes setting better boundaries with toxic people that are distracting

5. the importance of book ending your beginning and end of days with this thing

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.
