That used to be me. All I did was talk, talk, talk about how I wanted to find a new career, or quit dentistry, or finally be happy and have fun in my life. I was all talk and no action. I didn’t know what to do or how to do it. No matter how often I googled “other jobs dentists can do,” it never led me anywhere. The problem was I was too scared to take even the tiniest baby step forward. Playing it safe kept me stuck […]

You might be wondering what the heck I’m talking about. I mean, what does a safari and side gigs have in common? They both create the adventure of a lifetime, and that’s why I’ve decided to combine the two to bring you Safari N Side Gigs! I’ve partnered with Morris Mugo, founder of Safari N Smiles, to bring an epic event to dentistry specifically for people like you and me. Morris is a dental […]

How do you balance what you want to do with what you should do? Many times in my life I’ve chosen the responsible route. And other times, I pushed the boundaries to see what I could get away with. When I was really unhappy in dentistry, I decided to take four 1-week vacations in one year. I was so worried it would crush me financially, but it worked just fine! It had no impact on my finances. At other times, I’ve been so committed to my work, […]

It’s easy to walk through life believing that what we see is the absolute truth. We do it all the time, and it’s pretty easy to do. In fact, it’s much harder to challenge what we believe. We often don’t even know that limiting beliefs might be behind some of our most apparent truths. Truth ambiguity is everywhere. Take politics. How is it that 50% of the people can see an event one way, and the other 50% see a totally different story? Or, how is it that […]

It was 2 years after I had officially quit dentistry. After blogging for some time, I met the first of many other dentists who had also experienced life after dentistry. I was so excited to meet Rick, a dentist and fellow blogger. A lot has changed since then. I no longer hide behind the screen name, Lolabees, and Rick has also evolved his own career. That is the great thing about taking that leap the first time– once you do it, you never fear changing again. Check out his guest […]

Changing is hard work, and it’s inconvenient and uncomfortable.  Plus, the unknown makes it scary.  It is always easier to do nothing, and sometimes that little extra bit of inspiration is all we need to get us going.  Over the years, I have had a few guest bloggers that shared their own stories of change on Lolabees.  People loved reading about others’ experiences.  Some of the remarks were: It is very refreshing to hear that you have done something else with your […]
