What Orthodontists Say About Freedom Mapping
Practical insights that you can implement immediately
"The FREEDOM MAPPING process has completely transformed me. I’ve become a better leader, boss, mom, wife, and friend. I only wish I had found David sooner—it would have saved me so much stress and anxiety. We are now building and moving into our very own space. Stop being miserable and start living the life you deserve."
Dr. DEB GRIFFIN
Deborah S Griffin DMD LLC
"We wrapped up our work together over a year ago, but the foundation we laid with the FREEDOM MAPPING work is still going strong.
And while the journey hasn’t been without ups and downs, the past six months have been the most productive of my 25-year career. This most recent quarter, my practice saw nearly 50% growth over the same period last year. That’s not a coincidence.
More importantly, I feel like I’m showing up differently—not just at work, but in life. I’m more confident, more grounded, and honestly just a lot happier."
Dr. Drew Leavitt
Whitewater Orthodontic Studios
"FREEDOM MAPPING went beyond leadership—it addressed the whole person. He helped me align my body, mind, spirit, and financial well-being, ensuring that my growth was not just professional but deeply personal.
This experience taught me that transformation isn’t about making a few good choices—it’s about committing to a path of continuous improvement. And that path begins with accountability, honesty, and the willingness to change."
Dr. Markus Niepraschk
Mill Creek Orthodontics
"I had just bought a practice, realized I had some drama issues with my team, and didn’t really know what to do next. Skip ahead a year, and because of David and the FREEDOM MAPPING work I now have the team that I’ve always envisioned, with smooth systems and the infrastructure to grow. The process has given me the confidence to continue and feel like a more well-rounded person. My fitness, my marriage, my mindset, and my practice have all radically improved over the last 18 months. For anyone who’s overly stressed, feeling out of control and needing to make a change in their lives both in and out of the clinic— I would highly recommend reading this book."
Dr. Dave Malouf
North Shore Orthodontics
"David and the FREEDOM MAPPING process ultimately gave me the gift of a reality check. He equipped me with the tools I needed to right the ship and seemingly maintain the changes and lifestyle he helped me find. Not every day is perfect, but it is so much better."
Dr. Anthony Harwell
Harwell-Cook Orthodontics
“Freedom Mapping helped me reclaim my peace, my purpose, and my practice. I didn’t even know how much I needed it until I read it.”
Dr. Jeannie Moody
Moody Orthodontics
"Since you’re reading this, chances are you’re going through something yourself. The principles laid forth in this book can and will change your life for the better (both personally and professionally) if you’re open to it, and willing to put in the work.
My heartfelt wish for you is that you too will become the you that you wish to be."
Dr. Danielle Periago

EASY DECISION. GET BACK TO BETTER THAN EVER.
If I could sit down with my younger self — the ambitious, overworked, “I’ll just push harder” version of me — I’d tell him this:
Forget chasing the next shiny tactic or working yourself into the ground. The real win is building an unshakable internal foundation… One that keeps you clear, focused, and resilient no matter what the practice throws at you or how heavy life gets outside it.
Once I discovered this, everything changed — and the best part is… I’ll never lose it.
That’s exactly what I want for you.
CAPABILITIES FOR THE LONG HAUL
Here’s the truth: burnout doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’ve hit the ceiling of your current operating system.
You don’t need to tear your life down to rebuild. You just need the right process to unlock the next level of who you are.
I’ve lived this. I’ve coached doctors who went from quietly resenting their own success to leading practices they actually love to run. And I’ve done it myself — hitting rock bottom, rebuilding, and creating a life that’s better than the one I thought I’d lost.
There’s no magic pill here. But with the right guidance and a proven map, you can stop feeling stuck and start creating sustainable momentum. Freedom Mapping shows you how to tap into what you already have inside you — and use it to fuel your next winning streak.
ATTRACT THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES
When you’re clear on who you are and where you’re going, opportunities start showing up that match that vision.
It’s not “woo-woo” — it’s alignment.
Why do some seasons in life feel electric, like you’re in flow… while others feel like you’re grinding through wet cement?
It’s the energy you carry and the clarity you radiate.
Freedom Mapping gets you back to that aligned, magnetic state — the place where the right team members stick, the right patients say yes, and the right opportunities seem to land in your lap.
STEP-BY-STEP SUCCESS FORMULA
This isn’t about throwing more information at you. It’s about a framework you can follow that works in real life, with real people, under real pressure.
In Freedom Mapping, you’ll learn:
➔ How to dismantle burnout at its root (and why “self-care” isn’t the answer)
➔ How to set targets in a way that makes them inevitable
➔ How to rebuild trust with yourself — the real source of confidence
➔ How to lead your team from purpose not pressure
When you align your mindset, your habits, and your vision, your energy comes back, your decisions get easier, and your results multiply.
This is your playbook for building a life and business you don’t want to escape from.
And when you get that right, “better than ever” isn’t a slogan — it’s your new normal.
