In this episode, Derek sits down with Dr. Dale Hoffel of Laguna Beach, California, to unpack her remarkable and vulnerable path to ownership.
From battling severe depression and personal trauma to rediscovering purpose and chasing a long-lost dream, Dale’s story is one of courage, self-awareness, and transformation. She opens up about the years she thought dentistry was behind her, how therapy and honest self-reflection changed everything, and what ultimately reignited her drive to lead and create the life she wanted.
This conversation is an honest look at what it takes to rebuild — mentally, emotionally, and professionally — and why being authentic can be the greatest advantage in life and leadership.
Highlights include:
Facing and overcoming mental health struggles in college
The turning point that led her back to dental school
Learning to stop hiding and start sharing her story
Building confidence through vulnerability
Reconnecting with her “why” and choosing ownership with purpose.
