Successful Dental : Depth not Display

Is Your Practice Culture Harming Your Team | Dr. Mahrukh Khwaja

Shaz Memon Season 1 Episode 3

Our next guest is Dr Mahrukh Khwaja, a dentist of fifteen years who went from experiencing burnout and depression to becoming one of the UK’s leading voices in wellbeing psychology for dental professionals. Her journey is a powerful reminder that struggle can spark purpose. From navigating a toxic workplace and a divorce to rebuilding her life through therapy, mindfulness and post-traumatic growth, Mahrukh transformed her pain into a mission to change the culture of dentistry itself. Today she teaches teams how to protect their mental fitness, build resilience, and create practices where people feel valued, supported, and able to thrive. Her story is courageous, insightful and deeply human, and her work is reshaping the way our profession understands wellbeing.

Welcome to Successful, Where Winners Speak.

This isn’t a podcast about showmanship or spotlight, it’s about substance.

Successful was created to share the real, unfiltered stories behind achievement, not just the highlights but the battles, the breakthroughs and the beliefs that shape those who truly win in business, in life and within themselves.

Each episode is a conversation with someone who inspires me, not just because of what they have done, but because of how they have done it, with resilience, with truth, with a quiet strength that often goes unnoticed.

This is not a space for self-congratulation, it is a space for humility, growth and meaningful connection.

At Successful, we believe:

What you overcome says more than what you own
Integrity is louder than any accolade
Family, truth and purpose matter
And real success is often silent, not shouted

I have met incredible people through my work at Digimax, many of whom never chase the spotlight, but their stories deserve to be heard, and this podcast is here to give them a mic.

Our listeners are mostly dental professionals, entrepreneurs and purpose-driven individuals who want more than just tactics, they want transformation.

So when we talk, we keep it real.

We speak not just to be heard, but to help others see, see what matters, what is possible and what is worth striving for.
