In this episode of Dental Confidential, I’m joined by intuitive money coach and former “HIPAA Chick” Danielle McKinley for a real, no-filter conversation about contentment, money and what true freedom actually looks like beyond the operatory. We talk about how social media has stretched our radius of comparison, why so many high-achieving women in dentistry feel “I have a great life… but I’m still not happy,” and how to start defining your own version of enough.Danielle shares her story of building and exiting a successful company, only to realize that the big “win” felt empty and how that moment became her wake-up call to do the inner work, heal her money story and completely realign her life. We get into money as energy, the subconscious programming you picked up around money as a child, how that shows up in your practice and your team and why outsourcing everything to your CPA is quietly costing you. We also talk nervous system regulation, the difference between consuming and embodying personal development, decision-making, human design and giving yourself permission to pivot if the role you’re in no longer fits the woman you’re becoming.If you’ve ever looked around at your “successful” life and thought, Why don’t I feel content? - this conversation will land.Follow Danielle on Instagram:👉 @_lifebydanielleCheck out Dr. Jessica Emery’s books for women in dentistryFor mindset, frequency and creating a life beyond burnouthttps://drjessicaemery.com/the-books✨ Come hang out with us on Instagram:👉 @drjessicaemery
