    In this episode of Dental Confidential, Dr. Jessica Emery sits down with dental industry trailblazer Deborah Carrier, a clinical hygienist of 40+ years who proves what’s possible when you stop waiting for the “right time” and start moving on the idea that won’t let go. Deborah shares her path from being told she’d “never get into hygiene school” to building multiple mission-driven businesses, including CPR Sisters (and how their training model helped someone respond confidently during a real cardiac arrest) and Twice As Nice Uniforms, a dentistry-specific uniform brand designed for infection control, comfort and real operatory life. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, craving something bigger or wondering what else is possible in dentistry… this episode is your sign. @twiceasniceuniforms __________________________________________________________ Follow us on IG @drjessicaemery

    140. From HIPAA Chick to Intuitive Money Coach: Danielle McKinley on Wealth & Alignment

    In this episode of Dental Confidential, I’m joined by intuitive money coach and former “HIPAA Chick” Danielle McKinley for a real, no-filter conversation about contentment, money and what true freedom actually looks like beyond the operatory. We talk about how social media has stretched our radius of comparison, why so many high-achieving women in dentistry feel “I have a great life… but I’m still not happy,” and how to start defining your own version of enough. Danielle shares her story of building and exiting a successful company, only to realize that the big “win” felt empty and how that moment became her wake-up call to do the inner work, heal her money story and completely realign her life. We get into money as energy, the subconscious programming you picked up around money as a child, how that shows up in your practice and your team and why outsourcing everything to your CPA is quietly costing you. We also talk nervous system regulation, the difference between consuming and embodying personal development, decision-making, human design and giving yourself permission to pivot if the role you’re in no longer fits the woman you’re becoming. If you’ve ever looked around at your “successful” life and thought, Why don’t I feel content? - this conversation will land.

In today’s episode, Dr. Jessica Emery gets real about “dental gymnastics,” the dysregulated nervous system it creates and why your calendar is a mirror of your inner world.
