133: What The Hell Just Happened? Weathering the Coronavirus Storm
Business of Dentistry
The coronavirus situation has been so dynamic and changes quickly. There has been a lot of information and misinformation. I've seen people approaching it very level-headedly, people in near panic mode, and people who seem to be taking this way too lightly. And I’ve been trying to stay in the middle of the road, trying not to be too quick to react or make any knee-jerk decisions that I might pay for later.

132: Stoicism With Dr. Standridge
Business of Dentistry
Stoicism has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. I have been able to apply Stoic principles in my practice and my personal life. For those not familiar with Stoicism, it is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. Dr. Matthew Standridge is the person who introduced me to this philosophy. And this week, he is my guest!
info_outlineThis episode is filled with great information on the importance of taking a step back and ensuring your priorities, such as your health, are staying central to how you are living. Sometimes radical changes are necessary to achieve a level of self-care that is necessary for a good quality of life.
I am pleased to welcome Dr. Josie Dovidio to the Business of Dentistry podcast. After 22 years of owning her own practice, she is currently on a sabbatical from her dental career. She experienced a great deal of success within the field of dentistry, however, about a year ago she began to evaluate her health and realized she needed to make some changes.
So, she sold her practice. And yes, the adjustment period brought its own challenges, which we discuss in this episode. She also learned how to fill her time in productive ways aimed at calming instead of adding stress.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The importance of self-care in the dental profession.
- It’s so easy to let work control life and add stress. Stress is hard on your health and must be controlled.
- The importance of living within your financial means so you can make a change in your professional life—if the need arises.
- Dentistry should be a part of your life but you should not let it define you.
- Dr. Dovidio’s entrance into the world of podcasting.
- How she learned to love humanity again after a period of feeling bitter.
