Brené Brown said it best “Just Let Them” l 5MF

I saw something recently that really stuck with me—Brené Brown, during an interview with Bill Maher, dropped a deceptively simple phrase: “Just let them.” That idea hit me like a ton of bricks. Whether you're in traffic, dealing with a frustrated parent in your office, or reacting to something a team member said—it’s so easy to get worked up. But what if you didn’t?

In this episode, I dive into why letting go of unnecessary conflict isn’t just good for your mental health—it’s good for your practice, your family, and your life. I share how adopting this “just let them” mindset has helped me avoid burnout, reduce stress, and stay aligned with the orthodontist—and person—I want to be. It’s not about being passive. It’s about being intentional with your energy.

“When you let someone who’s really negative upset you, they win twice. I won’t let that happen. And neither should you.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
