This episode comes with a numb jaw, a healing incision, and a story I didn’t expect to tell. What started as mild discomfort from a tight night guard turned into a full-blown oral surgery, triggered by a fractured tooth, a failed crown, and bone loss from a root canal that never should’ve been done in the first place.
Years later, I found out the dentist who performed it was arrested for insurance fraud using unnecessary procedures to fund his drug addiction. And I’ve been paying the price ever since.
But this isn’t just about dental trauma. It’s about what happens when we’re left to clean up the mess someone else made. When the recovery is yours to handle, even though the damage never should’ve been.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever been wronged, betrayed, or blindsided and had to find a way forward anyway. It’s about naming the injustice, rebuilding trust brick by brick, and reclaiming your agency after the wreckage.
Key Takeaways:
✨ Why healing starts with calling it what it is: an injustice
✨ How to rebuild trust without losing yourself in the process
✨ Small ways to take your power back and move forward stronger
✨ Rewrite. Reclaim. Reinvent. ✨
Because what broke you once doesn’t get to break you twice.
