Ep 65: How I Got Sober While Working in Dentistry | Stress, Burnout & Recovery Journey

Today’s episode is something a little different—and really special. I’m sharing a crossover episode from when I was a guest on Sober Life Rocks. It was one of the most honest conversations I’ve had publicly about my sobriety journey and why it matters—especially as a healthcare professional.If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be “high-functioning” or felt like stress, burnout, and alcohol were just part of the job—you’re not alone. I’ve been there. And I wanted to share my story not because I have it all figured out, but because I believe someone out there needs to hear it.We also talked about how to approach conversations about alcohol and substance use with patients—something that’s often overlooked in dental and healthcare settings but is a crucial part of overall wellness.What I share in this episode:What led me to choose sobriety—and how it’s changed my lifeWhy alcohol is so normalized in healthcare and the harm that causesHow sobriety gave me clarity, energy, and deeper purpose in my workTips for starting nonjudgmental, supportive conversations with patients about alcohol useA message of hope: If I can do it, you can too🎧 This one is for anyone—sober, sober-curious, or just ready to feel better in their life and career.🙏 Huge thanks to Sober Life Rocks for letting me share this powerful conversation with my audience.About Sober Life RocksTo watch on YouTube, click hereTo connect with me:➡️Instagram💻My Website📨Email: [email protected]💌Newsletter signupDisclaimer: The opinions expressed by guests on this podcast are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Polished Posture.
