We cover:
Why alignment beats hustle (and how to actually feel the shift)
Letting go of old codes, especially insurance-driven scarcity
Fee-for-service freedom, team overflow and patient experience
Feminine energetics in leadership: intuition, creativity, flow
Your next chapter: offers, mentorship and moving with courage

You’ll hear stories from her own journey, how she turned her creative ideas into multi-million-dollar success and how you can do the same by infusing passion, beauty and energy back into your practice.

If your schedule looks like five columns of chaos, this one’s for you. In today’s episode, Dr. Jessica Emery gets real about “dental gymnastics,” the dysregulated nervous system it creates and why your calendar is a mirror of your inner world.
She breaks down how she built an eight-figure, fee-for-service practice by design, not by hustle, working under 24 hours a week with block booking, fewer patients and more presence… and how that spaciousness unlocked her next chapter.
You’ll hear:
The mindset shift to stop outsourcing your power to insurance
How authenticity on social (not trends) magnetizes the right patients
Why niching into what you love increases joy, quality and income
The energetics of money: opening to abundance vs. operating from scarcity

Dr. Erin Sheffield is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, retreat founder, and advocate for women in medicine.

From her surgical training to her fertility journey and the creation of a retreat designed for female doctors and surgeons, Dr. Erin opens up about her path with honesty, strength, and a mission to make women in healthcare feel less alone.
Whether you're a dental student, provider, or practice owner, this conversation will move you.
