Inside SMDP, Dr. [Name] works with high-achieving dentists who’ve built 7-figure practices — yet feel tired, burned out, and emotionally disconnected from the very dream they worked so hard to create. This episode pulls back the curtain on the dark side of success — the burnout, guilt, and emptiness that can come when achievement replaces alignment. You’ll hear personal stories of exhaustion and recovery, real conversations from coaching calls, and practical ways to rediscover joy and meaning in your work again. Because you don’t have to choose between success and fulfillment. You can have both — if you design your practice with intention. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • 💔 Why success can sometimes feel empty — and what that really means • 🔥 How burnout hides behind busy schedules, production goals, and “everything’s fine” • 💡 The real reason your dream practice might feel heavy • 🌿 How to reconnect with your “why” and bring joy back to dentistry • ⚙️ Simple, powerful shifts to move from exhaustion to alignment Key Insights: • “At some point, your purpose got replaced by pressure.” • “Peace never comes when your fulfillment depends on external success.” • “You don’t have to do more to feel better — you have to feel better to do more.” Resources & Links: • 🌐 Join a Coaching Consult: dryazdancoaching.com/consult • 💬 Share this episode with another dentist who looks “successful” but might be silently burning out — they need this message, too.

That constant drive to do more, achieve more, fix more — even when everything is going right. If you’ve ever felt restless during your vacation or guilty for taking a slow day, this conversation will hit home. Dr. [Your Name] shares powerful insights on why so many dentists equate productivity with worth, how this mindset leads to burnout, and most importantly — how to unwind it. You’ll hear real coaching examples from inside SMDP, where dentists are learning to scale their practices without sacrificing peace, joy, or time freedom. Because how you get there is how you’ll be when you arrive. If you hustle your way to $1M, you’ll hustle at $1M. But if you create your success from calm, creativity, and confidence — that’s how you’ll live once you get there. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • ⚡ The sneaky signs you might be addicted to hustle (even if you think you’re just “busy”) • 💥 Why your nervous system mistakes chaos for success — and how to retrain it • 🧠 How to redefine success beyond production and revenue • 🪞 What it really costs you when you can’t slow down (presence, creativity, connection, and joy) • 🌿 Practical steps to break free from hustle culture: o Redefine how you measure success o Create intentional white space in your schedule o Celebrate stillness and peaceful productivity o Delegate your dopamine — find healthy sources of fulfillment o Learn to feel safe in calm Key Quote: “If your nervous system only feels safe when it’s busy, that’s not success — that’s survival mode dressed up as achievement.” Episode Spotlight: Hear how one of Dr. [Your Name]’s clients grew her practice from $1M to $3M — without hustle. Calm, creative, grounded growth is possible, and it’s the new standard of success inside SMDP. Takeaway: Your next level of growth isn’t about doing more — it’s about being more intentional. You don’t lose momentum by slowing down; you slow down to regain control.

Good news: you don’t have to dance. You just have to connect. In this episode, Dr. Desiree Yazdan breaks down exactly what kind of Instagram content builds trust, attracts new patients, and helps you grow your practice without feeling cringey or fake. You’ll learn how to post with purpose — not perfection — and how to create content that makes people feel something. Because at the end of the day, people don’t follow you for dental tips. They follow you because they’re looking for transformation — hope, confidence, beauty, and relief. 💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why people actually follow a dentist on social media (spoiler: it’s not for clinical details) • The 3 content pillars that will keep your feed from ever feeling boring • Real examples of story-driven posts that build connection and trust • How to bring emotion into your posts without feeling awkward or salesy • What “authenticity” really means when it comes to marketing • How to stay consistent without burning out 🧠 The 3 Content Pillars: Every post should do one of these three things: 1. Inspire — Make your audience feel something. 2. Educate — Teach simply and clearly. 3. Connect — Let people see the human behind the mask. 🔥 Key Takeaways: • People don’t buy teeth. They buy how those teeth make them feel. • You don’t have to be funny, loud, or extroverted to be effective online — you just have to be yourself. • If your content feels human, it will connect. If it feels robotic, it won’t. • Consistency doesn’t mean posting daily — it means showing up with purpose. 🪞 Try This Exercise: Before you post, ask yourself: 👉 “Would I say this out loud to my favorite patient?” If not, rewrite it until it sounds like you — not a marketer.

In this episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down exactly what kind of content will actually grow your account in 2026. Whether you’re new to social media or you’ve been posting consistently without seeing results, this episode will help you reconnect with your purpose, attract the right patients, and turn your practice into a powerful personal brand. Dr. Yazdan shares what’s working now — from storytelling and authenticity to short-form video strategies — and explains why the secret to Instagram growth isn’t hacks or algorithms… it’s connection. 🦷 You’ll Learn: • Why the Instagram of 2026 is not the Instagram of 2020 • The #1 mistake most dentists make with their content • How to use storytelling to connect with patients on an emotional level • What kinds of posts build trust and attract the right audience • The four types of content that are dominating in 2026 • How to show up confidently on camera (even if it feels uncomfortable) • Why “behind-the-scenes” content builds credibility and brand personality • The key to sustainable content creation for busy doctors • How collaboration and community accelerate growth • Why mindset — not metrics — drives your long-term success 🔥 Key Takeaways: • People buy from people they know, like, and trust. Show your face, your values, and your story. • Authenticity beats perfection. Polished videos are out — real connection is in. • Your content should reflect your patients’ emotions. Use their words and experiences to tell powerful stories. • Batch content once a month. One hour of focused filming can create weeks of posts. • Stop chasing the algorithm. You don’t grow by trying to “beat” Instagram — you grow by connecting with humans. 📱 Content That Works in 2026: 1. Short-form storytelling reels (15–30 seconds with emotion + hook) 2. Day-in-the-life & voiceover videos for intimate, authentic vibes 3. Story-driven carousel posts that walk people through transformations 4. Consistent personal presence — because you are your brand 💬 Quote of the Episode: “People don’t go on Instagram to be sold to. They go to connect. You don’t grow by chasing the algorithm — you grow by connecting with humans.” — Dr. Yazdan ⚙️ Mentioned in This Episode: • Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice — Learn how to scale your practice from 6 to 7 figures while working less and creating freedom. 👉 Book your free consult here: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult 🎧 Listen + Subscribe: If this episode inspired you or gave you clarity about your content strategy, share it with another doctor who’s trying to grow online.

As we approach the end of the year, today’s episode is here to give you a powerful mindset shift that could change how you lead your practice moving forward. Whether you hit your 2025 goals or not, this is a message you need to hear: Being “ready” is a myth. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4-stage success cycle that every thriving practice owner goes through: Start → Suck → Learn → Get Better. You’ll hear how this applies to everything from implementing new systems with your team, to finally stepping into leadership, to just doing the uncomfortable things you’ve been putting off — like assessments, meetings, or setting expectations. Because let’s be honest… the perfect time doesn’t exist. You don’t need more reviews to start marketing. You don’t need a flawless team to lead better. You don’t need to wait until January to start making real change. You just need to start — messy, uncomfortable, and real. ✨ Progress > Perfection. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why “being ready” is a mental roadblock, not a real one • The exact 4-step framework every successful dentist follows to grow • How to push past team resistance and leadership discomfort • Why starting now — even imperfectly — is the most strategic move you can make • Real-life examples from my own journey as a practice owner • Simple, powerful action steps you can take THIS WEEK to move forward 🛠️ Episode Challenge: Choose one thing you’ve been putting off in your practice because you “weren’t ready” — and take imperfect actionon it this week. Start the weekly meeting. Hold that huddle. Implement the system. Launch the marketing. Invest in the coaching. 🚫 No more waiting. ✅ Just starting. 💬 Mentioned in This Episode: 👉 Book your FREE consult to work with me inside SMDP and take your practice to the next level: 🔗 dryadancoaching.com/consult 🎧 Listen, Learn & Lead with Confidence If today’s episode hit home for you, don’t forget to share it with another dentist who needs this message, and leave a review if this helped you!
