Collaboration is defined as "the action of working with someone to produce or create something."

It seems that 2019 is the year of collaboration!

Collaborating with other professionals whether it be by means of exchanging ideas, sharing resources, or partnering together to host a live CE event (our ITFS 2019 was amazing!), something extraordinary always occurs when you have found the right fit.

I used to be afraid of collaborating. At the time, my limited mindset made me believe the narrative that it wouldn't be as fruitful if you work with a partner…."I would be slowed down" OR they will steal all of your ideas. Granted, I've had my fair share of not-so-nice collaborations that were really wrong from the start plus I ignored the signs. Whose fault was that? Mine!

I've been on this journey relatively on my own because frankly I couldn't afford to bring on a massive team. Thankfully, I've found ways to work around that. I've had colleagues gracious enough to share...

We hear all of the time that as healthcare professionals we should be lifelong learners. What does that mean? It certainly isn't referring to just taking CE courses for licensure renewal. It's being dedicated to excellence and seeking ways to grow and evolve for ourselves and the communities we serve. This week's guest is an example of that!

Samantha Veradero, RDH, Clinical Hygienist, Speaker, Author, Lifelong learner, shares her story.

“Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.”

–Vicki Harrison

This month's blog feature was going to be all about our family mini-vacation and how incredible it was. It certainly was a special time that I spent with my husband, Dad, children, cousins, and Aunt. However, it is still undeniable how the sting of sickness and death can impact you.

Last week Friday on our way to our family retreat we received the devastating news that my husband's first cousin (they are the same age…  just tragic) fell asleep in death. We lost our cousin, children lost their father, a sister lost her brother, and a mother lost her son.

We decided we weren't going to back out of our trip because we were already too far gone. We opted to continue to take the time to rest and pause. Did it eliminate the knots in our bellies? No…but it...

Do you know that sickening feeling of your stomach churning because you agreed to something you know darn well you don't want to do?

How about the feeling of being violated over and over again from a friend that doesn't seem to have an inkling of how they are making you feel?

BTP family, these feelings are common when you don't have healthy boundaries in all of your relationships: family, friends, professional, romantic, and more! Listen in, take an honest assessment of yourself, your triggers, and take the necessary steps to protect yourself. #beyondtheprophy
