In this episode of Teeth Matter, I reflect on my recent two-week summer vacation in Europe and how it transformed my outlook on work and life. After months of working non-stop across multiple dental offices, I finally decided to take a much-needed break with my sister and a long-time friend. Throughout the episode, I discuss the joy I found in the small moments—like being in the sun, walking through local neighborhoods, and savoring good food—and how these experiences made me question why my daily life felt so draining.
I share my realizations about the importance of incorporating simple pleasures into my routine to maintain balance and avoid burnout. I also emphasize the need for healthcare professionals, especially dentists, to take time for themselves and not feel guilty for stepping away from their responsibilities. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to make small, intentional changes in their lives to create more joy and presence in their everyday routines.
