Jaz is joined by Neo Positivity, a former Camden, New Jersey police officer turned mindset speaker, who now spends his time in dental practices in the US and the UK with one message: thoughts become things.\nNeo is big energy, and not every part of his philosophy will land for everyone — it doesn’t need to. Underneath it are habits any dentist can use tomorrow: stepping back from the “what if” spiral after a treatment goes wrong, catching autopilot thinking, remembering how badly you once wanted this job, and building reminders into the day so you actually follow through. Jaz leaves with a very personal takeaway about the version of himself that shows up at home.\nThis episode discusses suicide in the dental profession. If you’re struggling, please talk to someone today — in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans are free and available 24/7 on 116 123; in the US, call or text 988. The Canmore Trust (thecanmoretrust.co.uk) supports dental professionals affected by suicide.\n\n\nWhat You’ll Take From This Episode\n\nStep back from the thought — the press-conference technique for the “what if I get sued?” spiral.\nWatch what you water — why the thoughts you rehearse most become the easiest to repeat.\nGet home first — the step to take before you quit a job, or dentistry.\nReach for the cookie jar — using past wins to reset a bad day and repair a strained nurse relationship.\nLead the ripple — why a leader who walks out of the wellbeing session undoes it.\nHighlights of This Episode\n00:00     TEASER\n00:57     Why Mental Wellbeing Belongs on a Dental Podcast\n03:49     From Police...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hLSIeRiYSp0oTfIk0BzEukFutShD18hH3f6fq4QHsWw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZmM0/ZTNjYzdiZDJhNGFj/MzBiYmU2NTUwNmM2/NzQ2My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
