In this episode of the Dental and Mental Podcast, Drs. Galen and Davina Detrik dive into one of the most loaded questions a dentist can ask: What do I actually want to do for a living? From reinvention and burnout to bold career pivots and disguised fear, they unpack how most dentists settle—not out of laziness, but because they’re trying to avoid disruption. You’ll hear real stories of building rogue practice models, walking away from “good enough,” and the mindset shifts that open new doors in both business and life. If you’ve ever felt stuck but unsure why, this conversation will hit. 🎙️ Plus: why most fears aren’t about failure—but about who you’ll have to become to succeed. ______________________________________________________ 🎙️ New episodes drop weekly with each question.
