Feeling tired, stressed, or overwhelmed in your dental practice? You’re not alone. In this episode, co-host Michael Walker talks with Kari Carter-Cherelus—a dental hygienist, speaker, and author who has walked that same path and now helps others find a better way forward.
Kari shares her personal story of burnout, what caused it, and how she turned things around. She opens up about the real pressures dental professionals face—tight schedules, insurance frustrations, lack of appreciation, and feeling like there's never enough time for life outside of work.
You’ll learn how reducing insurance dependence can help create more balance, better patient care, and a happier, healthier team. Kari also shares simple, real-life strategies to manage stress, improve office culture, and support one another.
If you’re ready to feel more in control of your time, your
practice, and your well-being—this episode is full of helpful tips
and inspiring insight you won’t want to miss.
