“Pouring Into Yourself,” featuring Dr. Laura Brenner

In this episode of the Just DeW It podcast, Anne Duffy is joined by Dr. Laura Brenner. Dr. Brenner owns Lolabees, a career coaching business that seeks to help dental professionals figure out if dentistry is right for them.

After 10 years working as a dentist, Dr. Laura Brenner knew she had to change careers. She didn’t know the word for it at the time, but what she was experiencing is called “burnout.” When her blog post, “10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too” went viral in 2011, she knew she wasn’t alone.

Anne and Dr. Brenner discuss that experience, and the fact that it is okay to realize that dentistry is not the right career path for you. They talk about the importance of prioritizing personal development, and finding things to do that light you up. Additionally, Dr. Brenner explains the origin of her company name, “Lolabees.”
