In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we welcome Dr. Katie Lee, a trailblazing dentist, visionary entrepreneur, and author of "Saved by the Mouth." Dr. Lee is on a mission to reframe how we think about oral health—not as an isolated part of the body, but as a foundational element of systemic and especially female health. Dr. Lee's journey began at just 14 years old when a traumatic ATV accident forever changed her life. After enduring nine surgeries and dental implants, she learned firsthand the profound impact a healthy smile can have on a person's physical, emotional, and mental health. That experience sparked a calling to become the best dentist she could be—not just to treat teeth, but to heal the whole person. As the founder of The Collective Health Society, a groundbreaking fully integrated functional dental and medical center, Dr. Lee is at the forefront of oral-systemic health. She also serves as the Chief Clinical Advisor for the Dental Innovation Alliance and contributes to groundbreaking space health research with NASA, helping protect astronauts' oral microbiomes during space travel. In this episode, Dr. Lee unpacks the critical but overlooked links between oral health, fertility, and women's overall wellness. She challenges the outdated research models that treat women as "small men" and calls for a more holistic, ecosystem-based approach to women's health. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

In this episode of Your Employment Matters, host Beverly Williams speaks with Ann Mracek, an author, musician, performer, and content creator whose life is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and creative purpose. Ann's story is anything but traditional. Once a piano prodigy preparing to debut with a symphony at 16, her career trajectory was suddenly and violently altered by a devastating car accident that crushed her top vertebra. Told she might be paralyzed, Ann chose a different path, one of relentless healing, visualization, and personal strength. Just two years later, she was singing and dancing on stage at Six Flags. That remarkable comeback became a pattern. Throughout her career, Ann has consistently adapted, reinvented, and created opportunities from scratch. Her journey includes: Turning talent into entrepreneurship—from teaching piano as a teen to launching a music studio, dance troupe, and later, interactive children's theater productions. Using trauma as creative fuel—her book Unpacking the Attic: A Path to Healing Your Inner Child explores childhood pain and healing through memory, reflection, and forgiveness. Building a YouTube channel with global impact—My Best Friends Live in the Woods blends storytelling, original music, and mindfulness teachings for both kids and adults, now with over 160,000 subscribers. Creating every job she's ever held—except for one early performance job, Ann has imagined, launched, and built each opportunity she's pursued, often combining her creative talents with business savvy. Central to Ann's philosophy is a commitment to service and collaboration. “Be of service,” she emphasizes in the conversation. “Always offer what you have, your talents, your energy, your time. The return will be far greater than the gift.” Ann's journey reminds listeners that success isn't limited by setbacks. Rather, it's defined by how one responds to them. From injury and loss to new ventures and renewed purpose, she continues to inspire by living a life rooted in passion, persistence, and generosity. For anyone navigating a career crossroads, Ann Mracek's story is a compelling reminder: reinvention is possible, creativity is powerful, and joy is worth pursuing.
