BRANDI HOOKER EVANS @StellarOutcomes
What advice do you have for the new person in your office? Welcome home! Treat this team and your patients as though we are all family (you actually like) and you will thrive and delight in being home with us!
What does balance look like? Ahhh, the elusive B word. I have been the queen of imbalance at times in my life. What I can say is, I can tell I am enjoying some semblance of balance when my anxiety is shooshed; when I am sleeping well and all my hats in this life are a joy to wear. My goal is to have that 80%+ of the time. #workingonit
What “DeW” leaders do? Courageously take each next step to serve, educate, support, and uplift our communities and one another. We, the DeW leaders, are the change we have been wishing to see in the world. Let's DeW it!
What do you do to turn around a bad day? What is the best part of your job? The reason for and best part of my work is seeing the joy and relief wash over a team when they finally get to provide the high quality of care they dreamed of in dental/dental hygiene school. Bonus best part–I get a kick out of the shock they experience when it is easy and their patients are grateful!
Loud music, a couple of tears, a list of grateful fors, and good conversation with someone(s) I love. My mom Kathleen, stepmom Shelly, my Gran Carol and my bestie Janica are at the top of that list. We utilize the "piss and moan with perspective" model for venting then move to problem solving!

A written kind the most powerful influence in my life. The blessing of word is the answer to most of our prayers worldwide. gaining from many women has taught me that the gifts of others are coming from all directions if we allow them to. Side note–it also means as a woman and mother, I don't What obstacles have you overcome in your have to be everything to everyone–wahoo! #DeWstyle, It career? takes us all <3 Being seen as an expert outside of my own operatory.
Who has been the most influential woman in your life?
My bubbly personality and big smile have misled some to think that I don't have much to offer a team or a business. How do you measure your success? Turns out...not true and moderately offensive. I always The degree of connectedness that I feel to my God, my think "Book, Cover, Be Me, Me is loud and friendly, We all people, my body, and my purpose. I also love full bellies have our own demons, Other people's opinion of me is and happy hearts all around me–come on over to my place none of my business." in Idaho and I will show ya what that looks like.
