Jeannie’s journey to dentistry and entrepreneurship is a tale of transformation and self-discovery. Born into a culture that revered the medical profession, Jeannie and her husband Sung found themselves on a predetermined path, their futures beginning in the halls of dental school. Jeannie and Sung excelled in their studies and soon found themselves wearing the white coat of a dentist, a symbol of success that, in short order, began to feel more like a straitjacket of expectations.

In 2013, the couple decided to make a bold move and acquired their own dental practice. They instantly shifted to being entrepreneurs, taking on all the excitement and pressure of business ownership.

At the exact same time they chose to become parents. While excited and happy with their new baby son, Jeannie struggled to juggle motherhood and entrepreneurship. “I don’t recommend becoming a business owner and a new mom at the same time. It was stressful beyond words.”

Their new dental practice, once a plan full of hope, independence, and fulfillment, quickly turned into overwhelming responsibilities and sleepless nights.
