A few weeks into cohosting A Tale of Two Hygienists alongside David Torres, CRDH, I’ve found myself reflecting on how serendipitous this moment feels. It has been personally meaningful and truly a dream come true. I first joined the podcast as a listener and later as a guest, and in both roles, it felt less like a show and more like being part of a meaningful conversation.

Both David’s and my guest episodes are linked below, offering a chance to hear where those conversations began to gain momentum. Those episodes were thoughtful exchanges grounded in real experience, and stepping into the cohost role has felt like a natural continuation of that dialogue. Working with David has been a pleasure; his insight and grounded approach bring depth and ease to every discussion.

As we move forward, I’m grateful to help carry A Tale of Two Hygienists into its next chapter while staying true to what has always mattered. Listeners can expect the same conversational format, engaging guests, relevant topics, and shared learning. I’m excited to continue the conversation.
