Most dentists won’t say this out loud, but deep down, many are trying to get out of dentistry. In this episode, Drs. Galen and Davina rip the bandage off the biggest unspoken truth in the profession: the burnout, the exit plans, and the generational mindset that traded legacy for convenience.

They unpack why dentistry went from freedom to fatigue, how corporate consolidation quietly took the soul out of private practice, and what it really means to rebuild purpose in an industry that’s lost its way.

From Milan’s cathedrals to modern DSOs, from Babe Ruth stories to burnout culture; this conversation gets raw, personal, and unfiltered. Because the question isn’t just “How do we get out?” It’s “How do we leave it better than we found it?” _________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to YapCore, where there’s no lesson plan, no filters, and no pretending.

In this raw and hilarious episode, Galen and Davina unpack the real phases of growth from chasing trends and losing your spark to rediscovering your rhythm. It’s about letting yourself be cringe for a season, not forever.

They talk trends, betrayals, dentists who still know how to have fun, and the subtle art of not taking yourself too seriously. This is the part of thriving no one talks about: the in-between season where life, business, and identity collide.

Dentistry isn’t broken. The system you’ve been told to follow is. When you strip away your quirks, passions, and curiosities in the name of “professionalism,” you amputate the very thing that makes your practice magnetic. That’s why so many dentists feel trapped; profitable on paper, but empty inside. In this episode, Galen and Davina explore the brutal truth: your uniqueness is the only real differentiator you have. Hide it, and you burn out. Pull it forward, and your practice becomes impossible to replicate. This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working as yourself.

👉 Listen now if you’re tired of running someone else’s playbook and ready to design a practice that feels alive.

In this episode of the Dental & Mental Podcast, we dive deep into what it really means to design a career and a life on your own terms.

From reducing clinical days without reducing production, to bringing on associates and calibrating philosophy, Drs. Galen and Davina explore the mindset and systems that allow dentists to do more of what they love while building practices that thrive. They discuss the dangers of chasing someone else’s version of success, the power of constraints, and why saying no might be the ultimate superpower in dentistry.

You’ll hear personal stories about defying expectations, lessons from scaling practices, and how Thrive is helping doctors create new models that work for who they truly are. If you’ve ever felt stuck between what’s “realistic” and what’s “possible,” this conversation shows you the third option; building something entirely your own.

In this episode of the Dental & Mental Podcast, Dr. Davina and Dr. Galen dive into one of the most overlooked truths in dentistry: you can’t climb the wrong mountain and expect the right results. They explore why the guide you follow matters as much as the systems you adopt, the danger of cookie-cutter consulting models, and why the “done-with-you” approach creates real freedom and momentum. The conversation also unpacks the fear of success, the reality that freedom terrifies the system, and how dentistry can serve as the vehicle for your legacy without consuming your entire identity. If you’ve ever felt pressure to conform, been criticized for doing things differently, or wondered if dentistry can actually be life-giving, this episode is for you. _________________________________________________________________________

In this episode of She Said What?, we dive into the tension between influence and intention. From the crisp energy of fall to the culture of “send me the link,” this conversation unpacks what it means to curate a life and business with purpose instead of shortcuts.

We explore the pitfalls of copycat culture, the joy of becoming, and what it really means to be a gatekeeper in a world obsessed with sharing. You’ll hear how Thrive is built around working with dentists who bring vision rather than scripts, why holding energetic standards is the responsibility of every CEO and practice owner, and how marketing becomes magnetic when it reflects your unique voice instead of generic formulas.

Part pep talk, part strategy, this episode is all about elevating your standards—in life, dentistry, and beyond.

In this episode of the Dental and Mental Podcast, Drs. Galen and Davina Detrik dive into one of the most overlooked truths in dentistry and life: you can’t outsource who you’re becoming.

They unpack why so many dentists slip into cookie-cutter practices they never intended to build, how “playing it safe” often hides a fear of success, not failure. Why raising your standards changes everything. From navigating burnout to breaking free of social conformity, they share real stories of doctors in Thrive who stopped dimming their light and started creating practices and lives that reflect their true vision.

This conversation isn’t just about dentistry. It’s about identity, standards, and the evolution required to step into your next level at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

If you’ve ever wondered why doing “more” feels exhausting, or why building someone else’s dream leaves you burned out, this episode will challenge you to re-examine what you’re building and who you’re becoming in the process.

In this episode, Dr. Davina Detrik kicks off the brand-new She Said What series. An intimate, unpolished voice note straight from her life and travels. From late-night conversations with visionary dentists in San Francisco to lessons learned a world-class tattoo artist, a meticulous hair stylist, and even a neighborhood cookie pop-up. Davina explores what it means to curate experiences that people will travel for and pay for because they feel the difference.

In this episode, we press pause on the hustle and take a rare moment to reflect. No headlines, no strategy—just a candid conversation between two people navigating growth, discomfort, and the tension between discipline and grace. We revisit promises we made to ourselves—what held, what didn’t, and what we learned in the process. From no-buy boundaries and the allure of impulse, to physical constraints forcing professional clarity, this episode is less about solutions and more about the space between them. We also share the behind-the-scenes thinking behind FRKTR: a course we designed to be beautiful, accessible, and unreasonably generous in a space that too often trades real transformation for inflated price tags.

In this episode, we dive into the deeper truth behind burnout: it’s not always about hustle—it’s about misalignment. If you’ve been grinding, building, or leading, but still feel tired, resentful, or unfulfilled… this one’s for you. We explore the quiet decisions that lead to exhaustion: saying yes when you mean no, building systems that don’t reflect your values, and confusing busyness with purpose. This conversation isn’t about working less—it’s about finally working in integrity. If you’ve outgrown your vision but haven’t had the courage to shift, if you’ve mistaken people-pleasing for leadership, or if your business feels like a burden instead of a reflection of you… this is your mirror. Listen now and learn what happens when clarity finally overrides fear.
