The Real Reason Women in Dentistry Feel Stuck and How to Break Free ft. Anne Duffy

"I didn't know there was anything more for me until I was 42. And I think a lot of women feel that way." - Anne Duffy"Leadership isn't about the titles or the accolades. It's about the people who come alive because of your belief in them." - Dr. Sonia ChopraIn this warm and deeply inspiring episode of University of Why, Dr. Sonia Chopra sits down with Anne Duffy, founder of Dental Entrepreneur Women (DEW), for a conversation about community, late-blooming purpose, and what it really means to lead with love.Anne didn't set out to build a movement. She started as a part-time hygienist, picked up side hustles out of financial desperation at 42, and spent two decades quietly developing her leadership voice before founding DEW at 62 after her friend was bullied in a workplace review. What followed was a community built on ten principles, a magazine, annual retreats, and a ripple effect felt by women across the dental profession and beyond.Together, Anne and Sonia explore the power of CliftonStrengths, the beauty of not having a five-year plan, and why the answer really is in the ladies' room.Today on University of Why:- Growing up as the oldest daughter of five and the oldest granddaughter on both sides- Starting her first side hustle at 42 out of financial necessity- Building the largest team of female leaders at Oxyfresh- How a friend getting bullied sparked the creation of DEW- The ten principles of DEW and why she refused to cut them down to three- How CliftonStrengths changed the way Anne sees herself and others- The balcony and the basement of every strength- Why woo, activator, positivity, communication, and arranger make Anne who she is- Living a life led by faith instead of a five-year plan- Why Anne's why is simply love- The story of two neighbors who lived eight houses apart for eleven years before meeting- What it means to shout someone's name in a room full of opportunityFollow Dr. Chopra:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsoniachopra/Dr. Sonia Chopra’s Website: https://www.soniachopra.comExplore eSchool: https://drsoniachopra.com/e-school/Follow Anne Duffy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelduffyDew Life: https://dew.life/ Love the episode?
