Just A Quick Pinch: Recent Episodes
Connie Wang
A seriously not serious lifestyle podcast for young women in healthcare. Filling your morning commute with self help, wellness, and honest life advice as well as the juicy nitty gritty on dating, drama, and more 20 - 30s somethings content :)
You submitted dilemmas and questions, we answered! Our anonymous advice segment, Chief Complaints is back this episode and I have my husband Jimmy here to help me give you advice for these Pinchers:
-
A Pincher who left her toxic job but now is questioning her decision - mostly because her parents/boyfriend think she left too early - thoughts?
-
A Pincher just moved to a new city and made a fast friend, only to feel like the friend is strangely....familiar? Copying her and everything she likes/does. Is this creepy? or should she be flattered?
submit YOUR chief complaints to: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch
if you've got a case of the cranks, the mehs, or the "i don't wannas" - in other words if you're feeling sluggish, unmotivated or defeated... JOIN THE CLUB SISTER jk I'm here today super jet lagged & a case of the airplane sicks post honeymoon to share a story I heard this weekend that made my week ahead seem just a little brighter and a little more manageable, which made all the difference. I hope this brings you motivation and if anything just a bit of relatability to start your week.

Craig Iott has such an interesting story - although today he lives in Mexico city and works as a strategist, consultant, and fractional COO in the dental field, he grew up in Oklahoma and has had many lives as a pastor, working with some of the wealthiest in banking, working with some of the most impoverished and homeless, on a team with NASA, & more - he has a wealth of info to share and we chat all things leadership, influence, and more:
We chat about:
- Bullshit lies we're told about vision and success on the internet
- How that which you avoid controls you - whether it's money or a conversation you're avoiding
- Culture is what you’re willing to lose money over - how to create the workplace mission, vision, and culture you want as a leader

Sometimes the stories that shape us the most, are written by the words we never got to say.
Today my friend Dr. Avi Patel (@doctor.avi IG, @doctoravi youtube) joins me to share a story he's never gotten to share about triggers, resentment, the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and ultimately how clarity builds love and respect in friendships, even when we don't agree with each other.
He shares the story of an argument that brought him to clarity and respect with a dental school friend before he tragically passed.
We unpack the challenges of being the child of immigrants, finding what your authentic self looks like when you're a chameleon taught to blend in, and finding the courage to be seen for who you are.

the secret to being more confident/charismatic/successful is actually right in front of your eyes, but no one emphasizes the ingredients to this secret sauce!! While we all know that helping other people feel heard, validated, and seen when interacting and connecting is important, no one tells you HOW! Today I'm giving you a practice guide to 3 tools that you need in your toolkit, this will help you have better conversations, feel more successful and fulfilled at work, have better relationships outside of work, and overall unlock a new potential in your life, all from these 3 things: microvalidations, compliments, and acknowledgements!

Sometimes the stories that shape us the most, are written by the words we never got to say.
Welcome to the Just A Quick Pinch Podcast summer series, What Was Never Said - where I interview guests about the ex mentors & bosses, previous partners, & friendships that faded, and the words they never got to say. We unpack why we avoid these hard conversations, what they say about us, and what we learn from the things we never got to say.
Today I'm sharing my story of a really hard experience that became a great lesson during dental school. This is a story about building your confidence and holding your head high, pushing through self doubt, and learning the importance of clear communication. There's probably going to be someone out there complaining that this isn't bullying but again, this is my side of the story lmao
IG: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch
My good friend Dr. Haley Schultz (@dr.haley.dds & host of @dentaldownloadpodcast) is here to share the stories of the things she never said! The lessons of the day here: sometimes we overthink and delay conversations until we've agonized for week's, they're worst case in our heads, and heavier burden for us to carry than if we were to address things swiftly and head on. Whether it's working with another classmate in a student org or having talks about money with our bosses, todays stories show that sometimes it's best to nip things in the bud, before they become a forest in our heads!

I break down an interesting new research study that studies the difference between those who do hard things and those who don't - turns out there's 2 types of people in this world: State vs. Action oriented people

If I could summarize the most helpful skill I've learned since graduating school and working in the real world as a dentist - it's how to turn a tense, angry, upset moment into a breakthrough for your relationship and progress with someone. This is something that even the best communicators / people with the best social skills still have to learn and be intentional about because it's not something you typically have a lot of experience with until you're in the real world.
Today I'm sharing how to use conflict as a tool to get deeper with someone by asking the right questions - the right questions can actually help you build a stronger connection, make progress faster, and get to the bottom of what someones really thinking/feeling so that they can actually hear what you're really thinking and feeling

I noticed in the last 6 months a change in my work day and work flow when I started implementing a new habit -
what I noticed was that patient's started asking me more of those questions I WANTED them to ask! They started asking more things about what I thought about a certain tooth, any tips to be healthier, and in general just wanted my expertise and feedback which is like every doctor's wet dream lol. What was the change?
It was all in the way I started appointments, in particular the series of questions I started the appointments with that made all the difference. Tune in to hear which questions changed the game for me, built trust, and ultimately has made my work day so much better.
I also break down my recent lifestyle favs to get through the dead of winter + the 3 small talk news stories of the week!

BACK FROM THE BEST TRIP EVER!!! I had the best time when the ADA invited me to record an episode live at SmileCon in New Orleans this past weekend! It was such an honor to be invited, and this opportunity symbolized the accumulation of many hours of hard work and dedication.

JUST GOT BACK FROM VAIL!!!! I had the BEST time at The Making Of ___ retreat - shout out to Dr. Ashley Joves, Brian, and Collin for putting on the best retreat known to any dentist.

it's self care september!!! I wanted to do an episode about self care this month because in the season of fresh beginnings, new school years, and new routines/habits, one of the biggest things I've learned recently is how I had so many limiting beliefs/misconceptions about self care, rest, and what I am worth/deserve, and I am willing to bet you have felt the same way. In this episode we not only unpack the things you're allowing yourself to believe or telling yourself that are keeping you small & in your comfort zone, and instead how to break out of that while still allowing for moments and pockets of comfort & peace. I share things like my favorite current routines for sleep, diet, exercise, and mental health and also unpack fun things like the hatch and scentbird!

I knew I needed to make this an episode when I didn't want to talk about it lol...
I felt honestly scared, anxious, and shameful during the experience. And that's when I realized, if this is how I feel as a LITERAL DENTIST that recommends this to patients every day, I need to share how I'm feeling so that if you're going through this too, you realize you're not alone. Even if it's not a root canal, whatever it is that you're feeling alone and upset by, just know this can be a powerful part of your journey.
I share some surprising things I wasn't expecting to learn and feel, and ultimately what I took away from this experience about the decisions we ask patients to make, the experience of being in pain, and having to emotionally overcome hurdles we associate with treatment.

Sometimes it feels like talking to a wall when we make recommendations to patients. We want so desperately to help them, it's actually IMPERATIVE for their health that they listen, but how do we help anyone that doesn't want to hear what we have to say?
Mark Goulston's book, Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, teaches us how to draw people in so that they can't help but listen - but surprise, turns out WE'RE the problem that needs fixing first. The answer lies in this mistake you're repeatedly making, thinking this is how you get people to listen when you're only driving people farther away.
In this episode I unpack some of the incredible communications/business lessons from this book and tailor them to our scenarios every day at work as healthcare providers - here is how to ACTUALLY reach people and be heard.

Have you ever felt like you were about to spiral at work over a frustrating situation, something that made you scared or hurt, or something giving you anxiety?
Today I'm here to share with you something that goes hand in hand with communication and that is the art of self soothing/emotional regulation, something that seeps into everything we do and yet was not taught to us as children. I share tips and tricks I've learned from my therapist and nervous system coach to help me along the way - not saying im perfect or a guru but just sharing you the things that have worked best for me! We chat about tangible things like breathing techniques, physical ways to move our body and actions to do to slowly bring us to a more regulated state - I also share some explanations as to why we act this way, could our emotions possibly be subconsciously used by us as a manipulative tool? Find out in todays episode!

If you're at a crossroads trying to make a decision, feeling stuck or unsure of what step to take next - this episode is for you. With turning 29 this week, I reflected on where I was 10 years ago and realized in awe what has transpired this last decade. 10 years ago at age 19 I was failing my summer orgo class, super discouraged and wondering if I was on the right path - I realized the main thing keeping me stuck in this situation was I was asking myself all the wrong questions.
This episode is about the right questions to ask yourself when you are feeling stuck, unsure, and discouraged to get yourself out of the funk and back on track

Todays episode was a really special one because of how vulnerable my guest is. Sometimes its really hard to be vulnerable about our darkest moments but sometimes its what you as a listener need to hear the most, and im so thankful for my guest Dr. Jamie (@withjamie.dds) for being so open with us, today we discuss her experience immigrating to Canada from Korea, experiencing the culture shock and her almost 10 year battle of navigating through an eating disorder that consumed her life.

I noticed once I improved how I felt about my home, it showed up in how I felt about myself and my success at work too!

Today nervous system coach Masha Kay @mashakay is here with us to help answer the chief complaint of the week, "I need help with: the come down after a wedding, your best day ever and then....normal life" - which is something that I think we can all relate to especially this time of year when normal life just seems so much harder now that the fun time is over! Masha shares her best tricks for navigating difficult feelings, how to not only endure them but see the light in why they are important for us to feel joy, and we also unpack more difficult feelings like feeling sad that our parents are getting older/dealing with the heavy feeling of dread and tricky bittersweet moments of watching your loved ones get older.

Masha is back for her 5th episode to share with us her story of how a car accident changed her life, and was the catalyst to her living her dream life. She shares how even though she didn't know exactly where to go, she slowly learned how she wanted to feel and from then followed these steps to get to where she is today. You don't have to know the destination, but you can slowly pick your way out too by cultivating how you want to feel, listening to your body and fighting your "limiting beliefs" - and why that is actually a false term.

so much of my day and mood sometimes feels dictated by how I react to the things I can't control. How someone feels about the dentist that day, how someone's body responds to treatment, how someone takes care of themselves - working in healthcare is exhausting because it feels like trying to manage many things we cannot control, and it can be so frustrating and take away the satisfaction and joy out of so much in our day. The thing that top performers in any industry have mastered is focusing their precious time and energy on the things they can control and not spending a second on the things they can't. in this episode we dive into the following things:
-
the top thing performers do to get ahead
-
the little things you don't realize that add up in the things you cannot control in your day
-
do you have a personal brand values list? is your day aligned with these values or are there things you should be eliminating?
-
are there ways you can eliminate distractions? this includes setting better boundaries with toxic people that are distracting
-
the importance of book ending your beginning and end of days with this thing

We have a fun new type of episode here on Just A Quick Pinch - CHAIRSIDE CHATS/still working on the name tbh lol but basically I recently realized how much small talk we do with our patients and coworkers every day in our healthcare jobs, whether it's waiting for x rays to load on a computer or waiting for a document - and so I thought it would be fun to do a girly chit chat episode with Dr. Rudi (@ruuds_innerthoughts) debriefing 3 news articles that YOU can use as small talk topics for your work week this week! You can expect these articles to be anything wild, trending, and just plain interesting from pop culture to human interest, theres something for everyone.
