The Oxygen Mask Principle: Finding Your Ideal Work-Life Balance

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

We all wear many hats – parent, spouse, friend, orthodontist. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and put our own needs and dreams on the back burner.
To effectively help others, you must first nourish your own soul. This means identifying and pursuing the lifestyle that brings you joy and fulfillment.
There's no one right way to do it.
Prioritize your own well-being. Just like you need your oxygen mask to be effective, you need to recharge your own batteries to be the best orthodontist, parent, spouse, and friend you can be.
That extra week of vacation may not make a dent in your bottom line, but it will make a huge difference in your soul and your relationships.
I hope this motivates you to dream big and craft the career and life you truly desire!
