Own Your Path with Sade Morel
What does it really take to stop asking for permission and start building a career on your own terms?
In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Sade Morel, RDHAP, a dental hygienist in alternative practice, entrepreneur, and trailblazer redefining what autonomy in hygiene can look like.
Sade shares her journey from clinical practice to building an RDHAP model rooted in access, ownership, and dental–medical integration. We talk candidly about the realities behind practice ownership, the planning required to make it sustainable, and the internal identity shifts that come with choosing leadership over comfort.
This conversation goes beyond titles and credentials. It’s about responsibility, vision, and what happens when you decide to build a future that fits who you are, not who the system expects you to be.
In this episode, we cover:
• What it takes to build and run an RDHAP practice
• Expanding access to care through mobile and integrated models
• Creating opportunity and mentorship for fellow hygienists
• Strategic planning so ambition doesn’t turn into burnout
• The mindset shift required to truly own your path
Whether you’re in dental hygiene, healthcare, or any profession where the traditional path feels too small, this episode is a reminder that autonomy is built, not granted.
Alright, podcasters—that’s a wrap on this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast! If you got something out of today’s convo, do me a favor—share it, tag us, and keep the conversation going.
Remember, entrepreneurship isn’t just about the grind—it’s about the growth. Stay bold, stay human, and keep pushing the limits.
Catch you next time. Until then—keep it psycho.
