Katrina Sanders on Leading with Boldness, Grief, and Grit

In this deeply moving episode of the Women in Digital Dentistry Podcast, we sit down with Katrina Sanders—international speaker, educator, and founder of Sanders Board Preparatory—to talk about what it really means to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.

With her signature blend of humor and heart, Katrina shares how giving herself permission to “go max bet” on her life helped her build a successful career while navigating profound personal loss. From walking away from a toxic relationship to grieving her parents—and a pregnancy—Katrina opens up about resilience, self-trust, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own story.

As the Clinical Liaison for AZPerio and a respected thought leader in dental education, Katrina empowers dental professionals to not just succeed—but to thrive with purpose. In this episode, she also shares how breaking the silence around taboo experiences, like pregnancy loss, has opened the door to deeper connection and healing with women in dentistry and beyond.

This is an episode about more than success. It’s about reclaiming your voice, valuing your time, and giving yourself permission to lead a life that actually feels like yours.
