Balancing Dentistry and Motherhood

On today’s episode, Dr. Summer Kassmel and Ashlee Hirschfeld are joined by the inspirational Dr. Kelly Dove, fellow Black Belt coach and multi-practice owner, for an insightful discussion on maximizing CEO and admin time. Kelly shares her journey of intentionally designing her practice to fit her life, including switching to 7-to-2 work hours to better balance clinical efficiency, leadership responsibilities, and family time. They dive deep into the challenges many doctors face when trying to carve out admin time, from fear of lost production to the difficulty of deep work and hard conversations. Kelly outlines her powerful strategies, including pre-week planning, prioritization frameworks like “bucket lists” and “dollar lists,” and creating intentional space for focused, uninterrupted work.
