The Bloom Effect with Cassie Kellner
Podcast Description
The Bloom Effect with Cassie Kellner is a podcast for orthodontic teams who care about how they lead and how they grow along the way. Each week, Cassie sits down with people in the ortho world to talk about the things that don’t always get said out loud: the messiness of leadership, building culture from the inside out, and learning to show up in a way that feels like you. These conversations are honest, unpolished, and rooted in real experience. If you're building something you believe in and want a space that feels steady, this is it.

We talk about:
