In today's episode of The Making of Her, Meghna sits down with the brilliant and fiercely grounded Dr. Aditi Agarwal — dentist, innovator, and co-founder of Practice by Numbers, the all-in-one analytics platform transforming dental practices into high-performance businesses.

Aditi has built her career on two fronts: in the operatory as a seasoned clinician and in the tech world as a solutions-driven entrepreneur. In this conversation, she opens up about the journey behind both roles — the evolution, the grit, the overwhelm, the breakthroughs, and the mindset that keeps her moving forward.

Together, Meghna and Aditi dive into: • How identity shifts as women take on multiple roles throughout life • Why data isn't just numbers, but clarity, time, and freedom for dentists • The origin story behind Practice by Numbers and how it began in a startup practice with a toddler at home • The leadership season she's in — and why your why changes as you grow • KPI-driven team culture and how she motivates her people with ownership, not pressure • The resistance she faced bringing tech into dentistry and how she overcame it • Her mindset anchors — optimism, breathing, and letting her "cup refill tomorrow" • How she navigates imposter syndrome, especially as a woman in male-dominated tech • What the phrase "the making of her" means to her on a deeply personal level

Whether you're a dentist, a founder, a clinician-turned-entrepreneur, or a woman trying to build something bigger than the hat you currently wear, this episode will meet you right where you are.

This is for the woman ready to lead with clarity, control, and freedom — and for the woman who needs the reminder that the journey is what makes her. Learn more about Dr. Agiti Agarwal

About Dr. Meghna Dassani

Dr. Meghna Dassani is a high-performance strategist, biologically-driven leadership expert, and award-winning dentist who helps women stop living overwhelmed and start leading with clarity, strategy, and science.

For over two decades, she built and scaled a thriving dental practice, became a nationally recognized airway sleep expert, and trained thousands of clinicians across the world. But her deeper calling emerged in the conversations happening behind closed doors — with women doctors who were exhausted, overextended, and silently questioning whether this version of success was worth the cost.

Meghna saw a pattern:

Burnout wasn't a mindset issue.

It was a biology issue.

And leadership wasn't a personality trait — it was a learnable system.

That's when The Making of Her was born.

Today, Meghna blends neuroscience, physiology, business strategy, and real-world leadership to help women doctors and leaders operate at their highest level — without grinding themselves into the ground. Her frameworks support women in making better decisions, executing at a higher level, and reclaiming ownership of their time, energy, and results.

Through her mastermind, The Expansion Collective, her newsletter The Audacity Edit, and now The Making of Her Podcast, Meghna is on a mission to give women the tools, language, and systems to rise without burnout — and build the kind of lives they don't need a vacation from.

This isn't self-help.

This is science-backed leadership for women who are done settling.

Meghna lives in Houston with her husband and their two daughters who are her greatest reminders of legacy, courage, and possibility.

The Making of Her is where strategy meets real talk.

Where biology meets leadership.

Where women stop shrinking and start becoming the version of themselves they always knew existed.
