Martha shares why she chose temping over a permanent role, how she navigates the tricky W2 vs 1099 debate, and the systems that keep her organized while bouncing between different offices. She opens up about the freedom and flexibility she loves, the challenges of adapting to new teams, and even how she handles walking into an office that doesn’t meet her standards of care.
We also chat about the unexpected lessons she’s picked up from temping, how she balances running a business with clinical life, and her best advice for hygienists considering temping for the first time.
Whether you’re curious about making the leap into temping or just looking for inspiration from someone carving their own path in dentistry and beyond, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement.
