In this episode of The Real Talk of Dental, Brandi sits down with the bold and hilarious Trish Mooradian — registered dental hygienist, mom, entrepreneur, and unapologetic advocate for hygienists knowing their worth and owning their power.

Trish is on a mission to help hygienists stop settling, start earning what they deserve, and transform their hygiene careers into purpose-driven, profitable, and empowered lives. From working in toxic offices and feeling boxed in, to tripling her income on commission and building a thriving online education business — her story is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring.

This isn’t just about money. It’s about self-worth, mindset, and freedom — in your work, your finances, and your personal life. Trish also shares her journey to sobriety, and how getting sober became the foundation for rebuilding her confidence, her business, and her life.

If you’ve ever felt undervalued, stuck in burnout, or afraid to talk about money, this conversation will remind you that you are the entrepreneur of your own life — and it’s time to own it.

You’ll learn:

  • How Trish went from burnt out to building her own business
  • Why commission-based hygiene can be more empowering (and profitable)
  • How to confidently ask for a raise and advocate for your value
  • Why tracking your numbers and production changes everything
  • How sobriety and mindset shifts fueled her growth and leadership
  • How to build your personal brand as a hygienist and expand your career beyond the operatory
