A badge of honor.
Something we all silently carried as dental hygienists.
But here’s the truth: I wasn’t just tired. I was done.
Done pushing through 15-hour days on a body that hurt.
Done ignoring the little voice that whispered,
“There has to be more than this.”
And that’s when I found myofunctional therapy.
At first, it felt like a whisper.
A weird side-road I didn’t totally understand.
But something in me knew—this could be the thing.
And spoiler alert?
It was.
Myofunctional Therapy Was My Exit Ramp—And My Launchpad
I didn’t go back to school.
I didn’t start over.
I didn’t throw away everything I knew.
I used my experience, my people skills, my education—and I built a business that gave me more income, more freedom, and more meaning than I ever had in the op.
Within months of getting serious, I was able to cut back to part time..
Within 13 months, I left clinical completely.
And now? I help other women do the same—without guesswork, gimmicks, or gurus.
This Isn’t Just a Career Change. It’s a Life Change.
Myofunctional therapy isn’t just for kids with mouth-breathing habits.
It’s for the hygienist who’s hanging on by a thread and needs a way out that doesn’t require starting from scratch.
It’s for the mom who wants to be present for her family.
It’s for the high-achiever who’s secretly miserable and scared to say it out loud.
And yes—it’s for you.
You don’t have to stay stuck.
You don’t have to keep settling.
And you sure as heck don’t have to wait for permission.
In this weeks podcast, you get a very real, unscripted conversation with me. If you’re are here, there is a reason. The desire for a passion with a purpose is on your heart for a reason. Listen to the whisper. Listen to the roar!
Your new life is already knocking.
Let’s answer the door.
Carmen
