Episode 18: Every Dental Hygienist Needs A Career Audit

Something every RDH should be doing throughout their career? A career audit. Because what we wanted (and maybe needed), out of our careers, 1, 3, 5 or 10 years ago, probably isn't the same as what we want and need today. Today's episode dives into helping you honestly evaluate where you are-and where you want to go next. This episode is about making sure your career is still aligned with the life you're trying to build- and if it isn't, how you can change that. See you inside!

Episode 17: Is There a Respect Gap for Dental Hygienist's?

"I just don't feel valued". If you've spent any time in Dental Hygiene you've probably heard or felt that sentence before. Or maybe, you've even said it yourself. In today's episode, we're diving into whether or not there is a respect gap in dental hygiene. And maybe more importantly...What does respect even look like in today's dental practices? We have an honest conversation about recognizing the expertise that every member of the dental team brings to the table; Where the gaps are and what the best offices are doing to value every team member. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Comment below: -Do you think there is a respect gap in dentistry? -Where have you noticed it shows up? -What do the best practices do to value you? See you inside!

Episode 15: What Stress is Doing to Women’s Bodies in Dental Hygiene.

These days, we don't talk enough about what dental hygiene and healthcare stress is doing to women's bodies. The exhaustion. The nervous system dysregulation. The inflammation. The "I'm holding it together but barely" feeling so many of us silently experience. And somewhere along the way, survival becomes normal. In today's episode, we're talking about the physical and emotional weight so many providers are carrying behind the scenes- and why burnout is often deeper than being "overworked". This conversation is about telling the truth about chronic stress, pressure, responsibility and the load this takes on our bodies and minds over time. And you remind you, you're not alone.
