Welcome to The 8-Figure Dentist—the behind-the-scenes show for women in dentistry who are done following a model built for men.
I’m your host, Dr. Zhanna Konovalenko—orthodontist, 8-figure practice mentor, and strategist for elite, female-led practices.
This podcast is where high-achieving women come to rethink everything they were taught about success.
Inside each episode, I’ll show you what it really takes to:
→ Run a premium practice that pays you like a CEO
→ Drop the insurance trap (without panic or people-pleasing)
→ Lead consults, teams, and time with elegant authority
→ Work 2 days a week and still scale beyond 7 figures
→ And build the kind of power no one can take from you
You didn’t become a dentist to survive dentistry.
You’re here to own it—on your terms.

If you want a boutique, cash-pay dental practice, there’s one skill you must master: decisiveness.
In this episode, I’ll show you:
Why indecision is draining your time, energy, and revenue.
How “open loops” in your brain sabotage your focus and conversion rates.
The 3-step process I teach my private clients to make strong, confident decisions—fast.
How wealthy business owners think differently about decision-making (and how you can too).
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to start closing loops, boosting your confidence, and increasing your revenue—without working harder.
🎯 If you’re ready to take what you hear in this episode and actually implement it—to go from a high-volume, insurance-dependent grind to a boutique, cash-pay practice—then The 8-Figure Practice is your next step.

Nail your niche and premium positioning
Attract cash-pay patients who say yes before you speak

The 3 Stages No One Tells You About When Running a Dental Practice
Episode #2: The 3 Stages No One Tells You About When Running a Dental Practice
Let's get real about what actually happens when you own a practice. Not the glossy version - the messy, real-world journey from overwhelmed owner to confident leader.
Here's the truth: What worked for your colleague down the street might be tanking your growth. Why? Because you're in different stages, facing different challenges.
In this episode, I'm breaking down:
• Why you're drowning in admin work during years 1-5 (and how to fix it)
• The mindset shift that's keeping you trapped in operator mode
• How to scale without losing sleep over quality control
• The money fears no one talks about (especially when you're about to hire that first associate)
Plus, we'll tackle that "mom guilt" that hits hard in the startup years, and why your blue-collar background might be sabotaging your growth decisions.
Whether you're still in research mode or ready to expand to a bigger space, this episode shows you exactly where to focus right now.
