Alan had a chance to sit down with Dr. Maggie Augustyn live at the Chicago Midwinter meeting for a candid conversation that spans her journey from Poland to practicing in the Chicago suburbs, the unique perspectives of Eastern European immigrants, and the realities of speaking in the dental world.

They delve into the emotional toll and vulnerability involved in sharing personal stories on topics like addiction and mental wellness, the challenges introverts face in high-energy environments, and the often-underappreciated (and underpaid) role of wellness speakers at dental conferences. The discussion also touches on the impact of social media comparison, the evolution of dental meetings, and coping mechanisms for the daily demands of dentistry.
