In this episode of The Story Project, Dr. Zaneta Hamlin, owner of Cusp Dental Boutique, shares her personal journey of becoming a dentist, practice owner, and a woman who leads with both strength and humility. Inspired by her father, Dr. Hamlin found her calling in the fusion of creativity, compassion, and patient care. She opens up about the intentionality behind her space, the significance of the Ghanaian symbol that guides her leadership, and the bold decisions that reflected trust in her own vision over outside opinions. Together, we explore the synergy between her space and her purpose, and how courage, faith, and rest became her compass through uncertainty.   Dr. Hamlin also speaks candidly about marriage, motherhood, and the weight of choosing your own path—even when others don't understand it. With moments of laughter, vulnerability, and wisdom, she reminds us that intuition is powerful, rest is necessary, and clarity often follows stillness. If you've ever needed permission to follow your heart, take a leap, or trust that a closed door is leading you somewhere better, this conversation is for you.   Key Takeaways Point 1: "I learned that sometimes you have to listen and learn. Sometimes a closed door is actually for you to recognize that there's something else that's there for you that you don't know." Point 2: "It may not feel like it right now, but it's going to be fine." Point 3: "Follow your heart and let your intuition fully guide you."   Guest Information Dr. Zaneta Hamlin is a second generation dentist who is dedicated to prevention and open to alternative scientifically proven means to progressive care.
