In this episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down exactly what kind of content will actually grow your account in 2026. Whether you’re new to social media or you’ve been posting consistently without seeing results, this episode will help you reconnect with your purpose, attract the right patients, and turn your practice into a powerful personal brand. Dr. Yazdan shares what’s working now — from storytelling and authenticity to short-form video strategies — and explains why the secret to Instagram growth isn’t hacks or algorithms… it’s connection. 🦷 You’ll Learn: • Why the Instagram of 2026 is not the Instagram of 2020 • The #1 mistake most dentists make with their content • How to use storytelling to connect with patients on an emotional level • What kinds of posts build trust and attract the right audience • The four types of content that are dominating in 2026 • How to show up confidently on camera (even if it feels uncomfortable) • Why “behind-the-scenes” content builds credibility and brand personality • The key to sustainable content creation for busy doctors • How collaboration and community accelerate growth • Why mindset — not metrics — drives your long-term success 🔥 Key Takeaways: • People buy from people they know, like, and trust. Show your face, your values, and your story. • Authenticity beats perfection. Polished videos are out — real connection is in. • Your content should reflect your patients’ emotions. Use their words and experiences to tell powerful stories. • Batch content once a month. One hour of focused filming can create weeks of posts. • Stop chasing the algorithm. You don’t grow by trying to “beat” Instagram — you grow by connecting with humans. 📱 Content That Works in 2026: 1. Short-form storytelling reels (15–30 seconds with emotion + hook) 2. Day-in-the-life & voiceover videos for intimate, authentic vibes 3. Story-driven carousel posts that walk people through transformations 4. Consistent personal presence — because you are your brand 💬 Quote of the Episode: “People don’t go on Instagram to be sold to. They go to connect. You don’t grow by chasing the algorithm — you grow by connecting with humans.” — Dr. Yazdan ⚙️ Mentioned in This Episode: • Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice — Learn how to scale your practice from 6 to 7 figures while working less and creating freedom. 👉 Book your free consult here: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult 🎧 Listen + Subscribe: If this episode inspired you or gave you clarity about your content strategy, share it with another doctor who’s trying to grow online.

As we approach the end of the year, today’s episode is here to give you a powerful mindset shift that could change how you lead your practice moving forward. Whether you hit your 2025 goals or not, this is a message you need to hear: Being “ready” is a myth. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4-stage success cycle that every thriving practice owner goes through: Start → Suck → Learn → Get Better. You’ll hear how this applies to everything from implementing new systems with your team, to finally stepping into leadership, to just doing the uncomfortable things you’ve been putting off — like assessments, meetings, or setting expectations. Because let’s be honest… the perfect time doesn’t exist. You don’t need more reviews to start marketing. You don’t need a flawless team to lead better. You don’t need to wait until January to start making real change. You just need to start — messy, uncomfortable, and real. ✨ Progress > Perfection. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why “being ready” is a mental roadblock, not a real one • The exact 4-step framework every successful dentist follows to grow • How to push past team resistance and leadership discomfort • Why starting now — even imperfectly — is the most strategic move you can make • Real-life examples from my own journey as a practice owner • Simple, powerful action steps you can take THIS WEEK to move forward 🛠️ Episode Challenge: Choose one thing you’ve been putting off in your practice because you “weren’t ready” — and take imperfect actionon it this week. Start the weekly meeting. Hold that huddle. Implement the system. Launch the marketing. Invest in the coaching. 🚫 No more waiting. ✅ Just starting. 💬 Mentioned in This Episode: 👉 Book your FREE consult to work with me inside SMDP and take your practice to the next level: 🔗 dryadancoaching.com/consult 🎧 Listen, Learn & Lead with Confidence If today’s episode hit home for you, don’t forget to share it with another dentist who needs this message, and leave a review if this helped you!

It’s a perfect segue into today’s topic: slowing down to scale smarter — by building the right systems inside your dental practice.

Follow-up marketing • How high-profit practices convert leads into long-term patients through education and automation. 📝 Episode Highlights: • "High-profit practices don’t make money by accident.

Do you feel like no one does things quite the way you want — even when you’ve told them before? If so, you’re not alone… and you're probably running your practice from an invisible “manual.” In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down the hidden expectations that might be sabotaging your growth, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck in micromanagement mode. She shares how to identify your “manual,” why it’s not working, and the step-by-step process to replace it with systems that actually scale.

When you turn your expectations into documented, trainable processes, you can lead with facts instead of feelings. • Training is not a one-time event. Systems only work if you continuously train and reinforce them. • Accountability matters.

Not just more money or more patients—but actual freedom in your dental practice. In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down why lack of systems is the biggest bottleneck keeping dental practice owners overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid. This episode is for the dentist who's already doing well—but knows there’s another level of growth and ease that feels totally out of reach. The answer isn't better staff. It's not more technology. It's building the right systems. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: 🛠️ Why no system = you becoming the system 📉 How chaos shows up daily when protocols are missing ✅ What makes a protocol effective, scalable, and actually used 👥 Why your team keeps coming to you for direction (and how to stop it) 📈 How systems unlock true growth—even when you’re not in the office 🧠 Why burnout, drama, and bottlenecks vanish with predictability ✨ Big Takeaways: • Protocols don’t eliminate problems—they reduce and predict them. • If your team can’t operate without you, you don’t have systems—you have assistants. • You don’t need to start over—just capture what’s working and simplify. • Growth without burnout requires predictability—and that comes from systems. 📝 Examples of High-Impact Systems: • Emergency appointment protocol • Pre-screening process for all new patients • Scheduling templates that protect production • Financial presentation scripts for case acceptance • Cancellation “rescue” systems that fill last-minute gaps fast 🧪 Real Results From SMDP: One doctor inside Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice cut their cancellation rate by over 10% in just 30 days with a simple schedule rescue system. ✅ Standardized confirmations ✅ ASAP patient lists ✅ Clear front desk templates ✅ Team incentives aligned to fill gaps quickly They stopped reacting—and started growing. 💬 Ask Yourself: • Where is chaos still showing up in your practice? • Is there a system for that? • Is it written down? • Is your team actually following it? If the answer is “no” to any of these… it’s time to fix that. 🎯 Ready to Build Real Systems That Set You Free?

We’re digging into what really holds you back from reaching your next level of success. Spoiler alert: it’s not your systems, your team, or your marketing. It’s YOU. Specifically—your mindset, your need for approval, and the mental drama you didn’t even realize you were stuck in. This episode came straight from a real-life conversation Dr. Yazdan had with a group of dentists, and it's full of the exact coaching she gives inside SMDP that leads to massive growth. 💡 In this episode, you’ll uncover: 🧠 Why strategy alone won’t get you results (and what will) 🔥 How your brain’s motivational triad keeps you small 🙅‍♀️ Why people-pleasing is destroying your authenticity 🗣️ The danger of drama bonding (especially in dental FB groups) ⚖️ The key difference between caring and over-carrying 💬 What to do when you’re worried about what others will say 💥 How to build emotional strength by embracing discomfort ✅ Key Mindset Shifts: • Success begins in your brain—not your systems. • Your results are a product of your decisions—and your thinking. • Approval-seeking is a silent dream-killer. • Drama is dopamine in disguise—and it’s draining your potential. • You don’t need to defend yourself. You need to decide who you’re becoming. ✨ Favorite Quotes from This Episode: “If you accept responsibility for everything, you have the power to change everything.” “Drama weakens you. Negativity bonding won’t grow your business—it just makes you feel ‘right’ while staying stuck.” “You can be a badass and still fail. In fact, it’s impossible not to.” 🎯 Ready to Create Real Change in Your Practice? You don’t need more how-to’s. You need tools to rewire your mindset, lead with clarity, and scale your practice without burning out.

Then today’s episode is for you. In this episode, Dr. Yazdan shares the most common mistakes dentists make in their marketing—and exactly how to start attracting the right patients who value your expertise, respect your time, and drive revenue. You’ll learn: 📌 Why “we put patients first” is not a marketing strategy 📌 The 3 marketing metrics that actually matter (hint: it’s not clicks or reach) 📌 How to finally define your ideal patient—and speak directly to them 📌 What your calendar says about your messaging 📌 The biggest mistake dentists make with marketing agencies (and how to fix it fast) 📌 The internal marketing goldmine you’re probably ignoring 💡 Key Takeaways: ✅ Marketing isn’t about being available to everyone—it’s about attracting the people you’re best at serving. ✅ You get what you market for—so check your content, your ads, and even your Instagram captions. ✅ If your budget isn’t being tracked, it’s being wasted. Full stop. ✅ You don’t need to spend more—just market smarter. 🧪 Marketing Metrics that Matter: 1. Cost Per Lead (CPL): How much are you paying for each inquiry? 2. Lead-to-Patient Conversion Rate: Are those leads turning into booked (and kept) appointments? 3. Patient Lifetime Value (LTV): What is each patient worth to your practice over time? When you know these numbers, you’ll stop throwing money at random ads and start building real, sustainable growth. 💰 BONUS: Internal Marketing Strategies That Cost $0 (But Work Like Crazy) 📈 Review Collection Systems 📈 Referral Request Systems (with before & after books!) 📈 Reactivation Campaigns via email or text These three strategies alone can drive massive growth—without touching your ad budget. 💬 Favorite Quotes from the Episode: “You get what you market. Plain and simple.” “If you’re not tracking your campaigns, your budget is going into a black hole.” “Internal marketing is a goldmine—most dentists aren’t doing enough of it.” 🔥 Ready to Create a Practice That Attracts Ideal Patients on Autopilot?

In this no-fluff, mindset-shifting episode, Dr. Yazdan shares the real reason most dental practice owners hit a growth ceiling… and stay there. The culprit? Not your marketing. Not your team. Not even your systems (yet). It’s the identity you’re holding onto—the one that built your business, but now secretly holds it back. Inside this episode, you’ll discover: 🔓 Why your identity as “the do-it-all dentist” becomes your biggest bottleneck 🧠 The mindset shift that takes you from overworked operator to visionary CEO 🚫 How perfectionism is costing you time, energy, and profit—and how to rewire it 📦 Why delegation isn’t giving up control—it’s upgrading to influence 🚀 How to scale with systems without sacrificing standards or burning out 💬 Favorite Quotes from the Episode: “You’re not the engine anymore. You’re the GPS.” “Perfectionism is not excellence—it’s a control mechanism. And it’s expensive.” “You don’t scale as the technician. You scale as the leader.” “Delegation isn’t about giving up—it’s about growing up as a CEO.” If you’ve built a solid practice, but deep down you know you’re the one keeping it from scaling… this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and give you a clear path forward. Whether you're stuck at 6 figures or already hitting 7 but doing it all yourself—you’ll walk away with a new perspective on: • Building a team that steps up (so you don’t have to step in) • Creating repeatable systems that support growth without more of your time • Letting go of outdated beliefs so you can step into your next-level role 🔧 Want to Turn This Insight Into Real Results?

Ever find yourself hovering over your team’s shoulders, convinced that only you can refill the glove dispenser just right?

She’s breaking down why micromanagement, decision fatigue, and fuzzy leadership roles are the real cavity-causers in your business.

Dr. Yazdan shares practical, bite-sized strategies to help you delegate like a pro, empower your team , and finally reclaim your evenings for something other than paperwork.
