EP. 202: ADHD, Imposter Syndrome and Dentistry with Alexis Tomaszewski

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alexis Tomaszewski knew she wanted to be a dentist by the age of 12. When she got to dental school, however, she realized that although she had the clinical and hand skills for dentistry, she struggled with multi-choice tests, which led to her essentially flunking out the first time around. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alexis thought about not returning to dental school, but after stepping back to get some clarity and rediscovering her purpose of opening up an ADHD-friendly dental practice, she returned to school in full force, this time with a lot more intention and positive emotions. Her imposter syndrome and RSD were and are still there, but keeping sight of her purpose has allowed Alexis to push through the n</span>egative thoughts even when things get hard. </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alexis’s goal to create a comfortable, shame-free, and fun dental experience for ADHDers is admirable (and much needed!), and her story is a great reminder that, when we align ourselves with our purpose, there is no limit to what we can achieve. </span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tiktok: @tooth_be_told </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: @toothbetoldbyalexis</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email: <a href= "mailto:toothbetoldbyalexis@gmail.com">toothbetoldbyalexis@gmail.com</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src= "//assets.libsyn.com/show/141737/QMURpLEWfBf0I9wB-DGzKjOcjw6n0cfTOZoSExZWFmLKaJqNlQReeoOCAf5BTLfRp7wuAiCcHADatxifEpslf8A2MxjIY5ZKkPx_qqLDHpKKN2rWzg3ZrJd__V6W.png" alt="" width="500" height="698" /></p>
