As you know, my goal with this show is to help you succeed both personally and professionally. In that light, I decided to have Dr. Brett Gilbert on to discuss mental health and wellness. This is a deep and powerful conversation that will help you regardless of where you are in your life/professional journey!
We discuss:
- Why dentists are so prone to stress, anxiety, and burnout.
- How to recognize if you are “out of balance” and what to do about it.
- Why you need to invest in yourself first before you can achieve wellness and fulfillment.
- How and why burnout and fulfillment have changed between generations.
- The step that is absolutely necessary to be your best self.
- The role that prior trauma plays in our current decision-making and how it impacts wellness.
- The importance of creating a vision for who and what you want to be.
- Practices to ground yourself and create joy in your life.
- Why it can be difficult for scientific minds to believe in a higher power or something greater than ourselves.

- How to view suffering and disappointment as a blessing and a natural part of the human experience.
- The importance of finding your true inner self and purpose, and how to do it.
- The value that Brett found in emotional intelligence training and how it helped him overcome burnout.
- How to keep your failures and disappointments in perspective.
