#39 Conform or Walk Away with Integrative Dentist Dr Isabel Pérez

Be The Wolf

I’ve heard this story a million times. And it always starts with hope…

You were one of the few who knew what they wanted to do. You went to school, you got your degree, and then you got a job.

At first, it was great. You’d go to work every day and you were making a positive impact on people’s lives. It felt good.

But over time, you started to see that there were deeper problems. You were doing everything you were taught, but it wasn’t enough to solve the problems. It felt like you were putting band-aid on top of band-aid. You knew there had to be a better way.

So you did your research and you started learning more. And sure enough, you discovered a wealth of information that could be used for powerful good.

You were ready, you wanted to start implementing ALL of it right now! You started with a “little bit” because you didn’t want to rock the boat.

But over time, that wasn’t enough. The more you learned, the more you wanted to implement. But you got pushback. And even though you knew in your heart, it was time to leave for greener pastures, you stayed.

Because you were scared to take the leap and put yourself out there. You convinced yourself that they’d change. Even though they never really showed you signs they were willing.

The reality was that you were ignoring your heart’s desire because you were afraid of what you’d lose. Things were comfortable, they were safe.

So you stayed, and you settled for just a” little bit.”

But you can only ride that line for so long before something’ll give. Either the people you work for will draw an ultimatum. They’ll force you to stuff down what you have to offer. Or… you’ll have to follow your heart and walk away.

Join me on this week’s podcast to discover what Integrative Dentist, Dr. Isabel Pérez did when faced with this problem. Did she conform or did she chase her heart’s desire?
