Kiera Dent (00:00.9)
Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I hope you're having a great day. I hope things are going so good in your world. I'm so grateful you're a part of the podcast family. I really enjoy podcasting. enjoy, gosh, we're coming up on what is it? Our fifth year. gosh. I think even maybe our sixth year. The podcast is released in 2019. So yeah, we're coming up on its sixth birthday this year. my gosh.
I'm gonna have to fact check myself. Let's just say, Dental A Team is gonna be six years old. That's insanity to me. Maybe it's five years. Might be five? It's gotta be six though. Happy birthday Dental A Team podcast. But if you've been with me, I've enjoyed it. I enjoy the time. I'm so grateful for each of you. And I hope that I've been able to give you tactical practical tips and infuse your world with positivity, truly, because my mission is to positively impact the world in the greatest way possible. And I currently do that through consulting, expert consulting for doctors and teams.
So today I wanted to talk to you about something that I think a lot of us are seeing. It's interesting because there is something we have leadership, we have solo practices and loneliness. And there's some studies that have come out. So this one's from The Guardian, just recently released. And they're talking about how loneliness, it says more broadly, lacking social connection can increase the risk of premature death as much as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day.
In addition, poor or insufficient social connection is associated with increased risk of disease, including a 29 % increased risk of heart disease and a 32 % increased risk of stroke. That to me is astronomical. And so I was thinking about it, like literally they're showing that loneliness is actually worse for us than 15 cigarettes a day. can kill you faster than that. And yet like smoking was one of the greatest like killers of the world. And so thinking about this of like,
what causes this and like, you know, leadership is lonely. Owning a practice is lonely. Being a CEO is lonely. I'm sure hygienists and dental assistants, we can feel it's lonely. And yet we're working with so many people, but yet it's a lonely space. so realizing that loneliness is such a prevalent piece and it actually is shown to kill more people. What do we do for this? And they say loneliness is as bad for our bodies as it is for our minds. There's doctors
Kiera Dent (02:27.95)
The US top doctor surgeon general Vivek Murthy is so worried that last year he issues an urgent warning about the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation. These are not quite the same thing though there is a big overlap. Social isolation describes an objective lack of social connections while loneliness is all about perception. You can be lonely without being socially isolated and if you're lucky, vice versa. And so just looking at this like we used to be in a society that was so connected.
Right? Like you think about communities and you think about tribes and we think about going back to even archaic times where people were in tribes and there were cavemen and cavewomen and we all hung out. And then you think about like when my husband, I went to Bali, families live together in these communities and you don't leave them and you stay with them. And there's such a community and camaraderie and everybody knows what's going on and you're there. And I think in, in the U S especially social media came out. Right? So we're
We're more connected, but we're actually more lonely than ever before. And they also were talking about in this article that people are actually afraid to admit. It says many of us struggle to admit we are lonely. There is a tremendous stigness, says Mark Rowland of the Mental Health Foundation. And so looking at this, it's like...
Kiera Dent (03:47.214)
How do we combat this? Leadership's lonely. Owning a practice is lonely. And on this one, says, like, loneliness is not insurmountable at any stage of life. But it's very difficult when it's, let's say, rusting away at your mental and emotional life without you even naming it. Bringing it into the light and sharing with yourself and then with others is really the first step of breaking the cycle. And so today, I just kind of wanted to talk about
What can we do to combat loneliness? They have some ideas in this article of what you can do. They say, you know, try to keep busy, have hobbies like gardening, jigsaw puzzles. They also said it's important that these things are fun or fulfilling. Be careful about working too hard or watching TV shows simply as a distraction. They will only delay or suppress your feelings and could actually make your mental health worse. And then they talk about like stimulate your mind. So podcasts kudos to you on being on podcasts.
comedy, fitness, like work related, whatever, get moving. Physical exercise can help with loneliness. Try to engage with the people you meet. And I think about how often do we go to Starbucks or are we on a train or are we at a coffee shop or are we at the grocery store and we've got AirPods in, we've got our phones up. I mean, so often I think our phone is our best friend. I was at a bachelorette party and I don't drink. And so I'm always the DD with my Shirley Temple and
they were all dancing and I kind of just felt like I would and I also watch all the stuff. So that's kind of my world. And I remember sitting there and I felt very lonely and yet I'm in a room of a ton of people. Instead of talking to someone, what do I do? I grab my phone and I instantly look at my phone to make myself not feel as lonely and like look at social media and feel like I'm doing something to connect. But like talk to people, say hi, ask them about themselves. I think we've lost the art of communicating with people. I remember talking to someone and they said that
they, excuse me, that they did, they have a, some of them they're dating and they don't even see each other and they're just like 30 minutes away. And I thought, my gosh, like, no wonder we're so lonely. and they also said in this article, find people who get you, spend time with pets, try to use social media in a positive way. And then talking to therapists can also help. And I was just thinking like,
Kiera Dent (06:09.124)
These are really, really, really important things and like prolonged social isolation and loneliness are truly like so close to smoking. What are we doing with it and how can we stop it and what can we do to combat it? And so I was just thinking for you, what are you doing to combat your loneliness? Do you have friends? Do you talk to people? Are we so on our phones and social media all the time? Do we put our phones down and do we engage with the people around us? Do we build hobbies?
we go to the gym? I will tell you, I am not a gym human. But I actually am now. And I love going to the gym because it gave me people around me so I didn't feel as alone. Talking to family members, but having people around you and I think having five friends within five miles is so paramount, true friends that you can talk to that you can tell things to. But even within leadership and in a practice, I found it's always super helpful to have mentors to have a community to have people who get me.
I joined Tony Robbins because those are entrepreneurs who go through the same struggles I do. I made a friend group within that group and we meet every single quarter and we talk about like, what are we going through and how can we help each other and where are our numbers at? And we work through the pieces of it. And I'm so grateful for that. My team, we're all a virtual team and yet we communicate all the time with each other, but I miss the in-person engagement. And so we are bringing our team together.
more consistently and meeting with each other face to face to combat that loneliness. But for leaders, where are you going and where are you communicating? And do you have a network? For me, my coaches are huge for me. And yet I think that there's importance for loneliness to combat it, to have coaches that we pay for and to have mentors and mentees and communities, but then to also have our own personal. Do you have friends? Do you have people that you talk to? Do you have hobbies? Like,
Jason and I, I love the memes that are going around of like when my extroverted self makes plans and my introverted self has to fulfill those plans. And I keep saying like, I want more friends and I want to have more people around us. I, cause there is, it's a lonely world. And the way that you're able to then share with people is by knowing them and getting to know them and spending time with them allows you to open up and to share your struggles and to share your life. But without that, it's tricky unless they're paid as like a therapist or a coach.
Kiera Dent (08:29.732)
And I remember there was one night we were invited to a birthday party and I'm like, my gosh, it's the weekend. I don't want to go. I've output so much energy at work this whole week. I just want to recuperate and recover. And there are times to do that, but it was so fun because I'm like, okay, we'll just go for like 15 or 30 minutes. And sometimes I think that's all we have to do for ourselves is it's 15 or 30 minutes that we're going to go, but we're at least going to go socially engaged. And it was actually so much fun. And we ended up staying for three hours and
had the best time and we were so fulfilled and it was so good to spend time with friends because then we saw them the next day and like that's how you build these things. But I do think it takes intentionality. I don't think it just happens. But I think realizing everyone's lonely. Everybody is sad. I mean, I think it's varying degrees, but a lot of people feel like people don't like them. A lot of people feel like what's wrong with me and why does everybody else like them? It's socially perceived like falsehoods. They're not.
It's not real. All of us feel the same way. And so how can we combat this? Because if we realize that loneliness is as deadly as cigarettes, 15 cigarettes a day, that's a lot. And then it's also increased risk of disease, like heart disease and stroke. Well, I think that it's time for us to combat this loneliness. And so I think join a community, be a part of a community. I don't care if it's working out. I don't care where it is, but like,
It's going to feel uncomfortable. Do it anyway. It's okay. You're going to be uncomfortable at the beginning. Join a group. That's honestly why Dental A Team is bringing our people in person because I got so tired of hearing our offices are so lonely. They feel isolated when I'm like, you don't have to be, you don't have to be alone. You don't have to do this alone. There's so many people around us, but I think it's also proximity. Proximity makes things easier. I know I can attend virtual events with Tony Robbins and talk to people online, but when I go to the actual event,
Even though I drag my feet and I don't want to go and I'm a social person, you guys, like I enjoy people, on the culture index. I'm literally in the like 99th percentile of liking people. Like truly I like people and I drag my feet and I don't want to go to these things, but when I'm there, I meet people and you talk and you have the side conversations and our doctors coming in person, they go and they hang out with each other. And so many people say like, yes, the content is great, but meeting people in person and sharing.
Kiera Dent (10:49.692)
a drink with them or hanging out with them at the coffee shop the next morning. That's where bonds are formed. That's where friendships are made. That's where that's where we're able to help serve and lift each other up. And we do it for doctors and office managers because leadership, business and leadership can be very lonely. Can is the key word. does not have to be. It's a matter of how are you doing it? What are you doing? And like, what are you doing proactively to prevent the loneliness? But I think being aware of it, knowing that it's very real, not doing it alone.
is something I'm very pro. I'm very pro mental health. I'm very pro having a therapist. I'm pro having a community. I'm pro having a coach. I'm pro those things because I know that like we've combated so many things in this world. We've beat hunger for the most part. And I understand there's countries that don't have it. I'm not here to sound like I'm not aware of that. I think for the bulk of us here in the US, hunger has been something that's been eliminated for us. And I think that we do have an effort to help other people.
Even people in the US who are struggling with that, but I think the bulk of the people listening to the podcast probably are not struggling with hunger right now. Most of us aren't struggling with where we're going to be living. Most of us aren't struggling with household duties. We have washers, we have dishwashers that we don't have to do those things. We can go to the grocery stores and have food at our fingertips. We don't have to make our own clothes anymore. And yet the next zone that I think we're facing is truly like an epidemic is loneliness.
before it was like, what are we going to eat? We had to like send out hunters and gatherers and go get our food every single day. And then it was, how are we going to survive and have shelter and not have someone come murder us? And now that, that it's not perfect, but it is less. and then it's like, then how do we like get food that's affordable? And we've gotten like that down exponentially that I think now it's, it's loneliness and having friends and having community and having people around us and supporting us.
we've tackled so many things and we've helped on so many levels that now how can we stop this epidemic of loneliness? And I would say today, I encourage you to share this podcast with one person and have them become a friend. I would also encourage you to get five friends within five miles, not just remote friends, but five friends within five miles. I'd also recommend you get a coach within your industry to help you. So if that's management, if that's leader dentists, if it's us, if it's someone else, phenomenal.
Kiera Dent (13:10.48)
But have somebody who can be there who can guide you through your business decision So you don't have to do that alone and then I'd really encourage you to do a hobby that gets you out of your house We figured out like we have Instacart. We have things that deliver for us. We have uber eats We don't have to go anywhere but force yourself to go somewhere and when you're there put your phone away and say hi Engage in a conversation. It feels awkward. It feels awkward for me every single time But it's also the way that we're able to combat this we're able to to bond to forge
and to make it to where we actually are thriving rather than killing ourselves off due to being lonely. And if we can help in any way, if I can be a friend for you, if we can be a consultant for you, if I can guide you in a right direction, I'm here for it because mental health is real. Loneliness is real. Feeling alone is real. Feeling like you have to do this on your own is real. But I also want to say that they can also be false. They can also be things that we can...
not to say that they're false and your feelings aren't valid because they are, but it's also, could just be that there's ways that we can help solve it and we can solve it forever for you and get you a community, get you around people. found when I like, instead of being so isolated, I actually went external and I started talking with people and I hired a coach that was a trainer for the gym. And I talked to my business coach to help me go through it. And I brought my team in person and I joined a community of people.
That's where you start to feel fulfilled and you don't feel lonely. Cause when you have something that comes up against you, you have a resource of people around you and it's not just on you. So I'm going to encourage you to stop living lonely and to, to forge those friendships this year, for your own health. I don't want you to die. I don't want you to be gone. The world needs you. And so let's do this together. And I'm here to help and support you email me, reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. see all your emails. I see all your messages and I will respond to you. So reach out.
Whether I can help you as a friend or as a consultant or both. I want to make sure that you're, you know that there's support out there and you don't have to be lonely. Come be in person with us.

We have things that deliver for us. We have uber eats We don't have to go anywhere but force yourself to go somewhere and when you're there put your phone away and say hi Engage in a conversation. It feels awkward. It feels awkward for me every single time But it's also the way that we're able to combat this we're able to to bond to forge
and to make it to where we actually are thriving rather than killing ourselves off due to being lonely. And if we can help in any way, if I can be a friend for you, if we can be a consultant for you, if I can guide you in a right direction, I'm here for it because mental health is real. Loneliness is real. Feeling alone is real. Feeling like you have to do this on your own is real. But I also want to say that they can also be false. They can also be things that we can...
not to say that they're false and your feelings aren't valid because they are, but it's also, could just be that there's ways that we can help solve it and we can solve it forever for you and get you a community, get you around people. found when I like, instead of being so isolated, I actually went external and I started talking with people and I hired a coach that was a trainer for the gym. And I talked to my business coach to help me go through it. And I brought my team in person and I joined a community of people.
That's where you start to feel fulfilled and you don't feel lonely. Cause when you have something that comes up against you, you have a resource of people around you and it's not just on you. So I'm going to encourage you to stop living lonely and to, to forge those friendships this year, for your own health. I don't want you to die. I don't want you to be gone. The world needs you.
