    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.

    Episode 11: What's Really Keeping You Stuck? A Conversation for RDH's

    What if your thoughts are what's actually holding you back in your Dental Hygiene career? In this episode, we're breaking down the internal "soundtracks" that keep so many healthcare providers stuck- based on concepts and a recent lecture we took from New York Times Bestselling author and speaker, Jon Acuff, and his work on mindset and belief patterns. Because most people WANT to make a career change, but they stay stuck because of the thoughts that feel true...even when they aren't. In this episode we got over: - The hidden beliefs keeping you in burnout - Why "I worked too hard for this career to leave" might be holding you back - How stability can become a trap - The identity shift required to step into something bigger - A review of how Jon Acuff teaches to rewrite mental scripts running your life and career. If you've been feeling the nudge that there's more for you and you're not sure why you haven't been able to move yet... this episode is your starting point. Our free web-class series walks you through a different path- one rooted in ownership, growth and aligned income. Watch it HERE!

    Episode 10: Is it Burn Out...Or Are You Being Called Higher?

    As hygienists, nurses, doctors, etc. in the healthcare field, a common question we are faced with is are we burnt out? In today's episode, we are taking this topic and asking a different question: What if the tension many healthcare providers feel isn't just burnout? What if it's the realization that the gifts you've been given were meant to be used and stewarded in a bigger way? God gives us the skills and talents he does for a reason. And every day you're communicating with patients, guiding difficult decisions, managing time, solving problems and building trust under pressure. Those aren't small skills. Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing those abilities only belong inside the operatory. We're here to change that. We dive into the gifts that we excel at in healthcare and chat about how each one of us is capable of more than we think. It's time to step out of the container we've been placed in. If this conversation resonates with you and you're curious about what expanding beyond the traditional healthcare career path could look like, we invite you to watch our free, 2-part web-class series here! See you next time! Xx, Kelsey and Penni Connect with us: Kelsey Lynn Email: kelseylynnrdh@gmail.com IG: @fortitudewithkels Penni Layne Email: Pennilaynerdh@gmail.com IG: @pennilaynerdh
