Show Notes


In this episode, we sit down with Shelley Brown to talk about what happens when creativity, clinical care, and advocacy collide.

Shelley shares the story behind her “side gig,” Homebound Smiles, and how a simple idea grew into meaningful work serving patients who often fall through the cracks of traditional care models. We explore what it really takes to build a full professional life—without burning out or losing your spark.

This conversation goes beyond business. Shelley opens up about advocacy in dental hygiene, recognizing unmet needs, and staying creatively energized. Whether you’re dreaming about a side project, craving more purpose, or simply trying to keep your creativity flowing, this episode will leave you inspired and grounded.


What You’ll Hear in This Episode

  • How Homebound Smiles came to life—and why it matters

  • Navigating side gigs while maintaining balance and boundaries

  • Advocacy as both action and mindset in dental hygiene

  • Giving yourself permission to evolve professionally
