About

I am a mother of two magical, magnetic children

A former orthodontic practice owner who sold my office after 8 years and then worked at a flower farm to reset. After testing out several ways of practicing orthodontics, I found a setting that works!

I coach professionals who feel lost, burned out, and overwhelmed. My passion is working with people who are secret creatives, yearning to fit into a buttoned-up profession.

A nature lover who listens to the whispers of the trees

An eternal optimist who believes we are all already whole

A creative who enjoys getting lost in my work

A serious coffee lover and excessive intaker

And, above all, a person who believes in the good of our world

My story

White building with a sign for Camden Brown Orthodontics on a grassy lawn.

For Years, I Climbed the Mountain I Chose in College...

By 30, I was a Harvard graduate, orthodontic practice owner, homeowner, and new mom.

I was exhausted.

Every day felt like a race.

Rushing from home to work and back again, I barely had time to catch my breath. I missed key moments with my kids, felt anxious, and lived in a state of overwhelm.

The truth was, I felt stretched too thin. I was burnt out, lost my “why,” and desperately needed a reset.

I loved all the roles, but not all of them at once…business owner, doctor, mom, wife.

By the time I got home, I felt like a shell of a person, emotionally drained, with nothing left to give my family.

I didn’t want to wake up one day with my kids grown and realize I’d missed it all.

In 2021, I made a decision: I sold my practice, and we moved closer to family.

I didn’t know what my path forward looked like, so I gave myself permission to pause. To reset.

My first job after selling my orthodontic practice was working on a daffodil farm!

Picking daffodils in the soft morning light was cathartic.

Slowly, I started peeling away the layers of stress and expectations. I let go of unnecessary tasks, reconnected with my emotions, and slowed down. For the first time in a long time, I felt present again.

Through this process, I began to rediscover who I was outside of orthodontics. I reconnected with creativity and developed vibrant interests.

That journey led me to coaching, and back to orthodontics. As I stepped back, and took space for myself, I rediscovered a niche within my profession that I love. I also found coaching and rekindled my love for painting, a passion I’d left behind.

One of the things I’ve discovered is that when I allow myself space to be all that I was and all that I am… I am able to be the best of both. When I worked too hard and fold my creative spirit, I became burnt out. It wasn’t until I took quite a bit of time off and reset That I was able to see the importance of holding space for both my creativity and my intellectual, clinical side. And for me, art is a form of rest. So when I allow myself time and space to be creative and rest, I feel restored, and I can show up clinically as my best self. What part of you have you been stifling for the last 10 years? Who are you before your career and before your professional self arose? And can you create space for Geer or she to come back and be a part of your life perhaps just as much as your career? Who knows maybe their space for both in your job? #creativity #coaching #dentists
I used to think it was about getting somewhere – arriving at a final destination, a goal, an achievement. But when I got there, I realized there’s a bit of a letdown. But I’ve learned is that science and psychology show that it is the climb that is the most fulfilling. Also, it is imperative that we are striving for something that feels meaningful to us. So I encourage you to think about what is meaningful to you. Is there anything that you would love to learn? Is there anything that feels important or like your curiosity is pulling you in? When we invest in ourselves, in our learning, our growth, our development, our education, our career, it can bring great fulfillment. #fulfillment #striving #neuroscienceofhappiness #careercoach #camdenbrowncoaching
Quick Wednesday reminder that we do not have to listen to the voice in our head. We have the power to challenge it, and we should be challenging it. It took me many years to realize that I didn’t have to take it at face value. I’m not smart enough has become I’m smart enough. What if I fail? But what if I succeed? Mindset and challenging our thoughts it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

From burn-out to misalignment in work to loving my job... Here are my key takeaways: 1) Burnout happens. It is real. It is physical. It is emotional. And, there isn't a quick fix. It's taken me several years to feel restored again. Also, everyone is different- one person may handle a certain load, and for someone else, they may have a much lower threshold. For me, the dental office feels very stimulating, and I believe it takes a toll on my nervous system. Add in the stress of owning- perfect recipe for burn out! 2) When you get clear about your values and strengths, you can spend more time in alignement and in flow. This is key for preserving your energy and nervous sytem. 3) One of my top values is community. I've found that feeling connected to my team at work is one of the top indicators of my work happiness. 4) It's easy to fall into people pleasing, over-extending your time, and being an emotional support for others. It's all about balance- recognizing your patterns and proactively creating boundaries with yourself and others. Healthy boundary creation is something many of us were not taught, but it's such a vital skill. 5) You have to learn about your energy- what drains you, what lifts you up, when are you feeling relaxed or stressed. From there, you can tweak your work/ life to honor it and spend more time filling up. 6) The why is so important; if you aren't connected, it can feel draining. I've found that connecting to early growth and development, and treating younger kids, works very well for my why. However, when my focus is on adults, I feel disconnected. This simple shift has brought much more alignment and joy. Is there a small shift that you can make? I'd love to hear if this resonates? What would you add to this list?? Always seeking answers! Much love, Camden

The other day I went on a facebook forum and got the ICK...I mean, it was bad...a full body NO, this is not for me. This got me thinking about how important it is for our mental health to be in spaces that feel aligned. Spaces where you feel seen and heard. Spaces where you feel SAFE. This inspired me to create this post- To be crystal clear about who this space is for To kindly but firmly ask: If you aren't aligned, please leave. No judgement. Sending you my love. Because if you don't get it, then you are contributing to an energy that is not healthy for the people I am here to serve. #careercrisis #slowingdown #mentalhealthprofessionals #camdenbrowncoaching #professionaltribe
The hustle. The climbing. The bro culture. The exhaustion. I popped into an old dental forum I hadn’t visited in years. And I felt a full-body no. No joke- visceral, physical reaction. Not because it was wrong. But because it was no longer right for me. It reminded me: Sometimes the misalignment isn’t about what you’re doing… It’s who you’re doing it with. And how your doing it. It’s so important to pause and ask: How does this space make me feel? Uplifted? Supported? Values-aligned? Or stressed, small, in comparison or shame? That moment of noticing is everything. But the next part? That’s the magic: LISTEN. Trust what your body tells you. Create a boundary. Sometimes that boundary is with yourself… To stop scrolling. To leave the group. To spend time where your nervous system can exhale. You get to choose environments that reflect who you’re becoming. Have you felt this shift before? What spaces are you outgrowing right now? #alignedbusiness #coachinglife #valuesledleadership #adhdfriendly #embodiedliving #nervoussystemwisdom #careertransition #boundariesarebeautiful #highachievershealing
