Episode 111. Stop Pretending Everything is Fine: The Mental Health Wake-Up Call You Didn't Know You Needed
If you’re constantly saying “I’m fine” while secretly falling apart inside—this episode is your wake-up call.
This week, we’re diving deep into the real cost of pretending everything’s okay when it’s not. As dental professionals, you’ve been trained to keep going, no matter what. Patients. Production. Team drama. Family. You hold it all together… until you can’t.
In this episode, I break down:
- The sneaky signs your mental health is suffering—even if you’re still “functioning”
- Why dental pros are masters of pushing through pain (and why that’s a problem)
- What happens when you finally stop pretending and get honest
- The one journal prompt that cracked my burnout wide open—and how you can use it too
- How to use the Self-Evaluation Model to get unstuck and reclaim your power
Listen—this isn’t about fixing your whole life overnight. It’s about taking the first brave step toward a life that doesn’t run on stress and silence.
Ready to stop faking fine and start building something real? Let’s go.
HEY THERE! LET'S CONNECT...I'D LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER!
