What happens when Olympic-level intensity crashes into life in the dental office?! In this can’t-miss episode, we’re joined by Dr. Tara Peterson, a full-time practicing dentist, TWO-time Winter Olympian, and brand-new mom, who is absolutely redefining what it means to have it all🥌✨

Fresh off the 2026 Winter Games and a heart-pounding run that ended just shy of the podium, Dr. Peterson is giving us the rundown on everything we could ever want to know about the Olympics. From life in the village to meeting Snoop Dogg, trust us, you do not want to miss this one!

Dr. Tara Peterson graduated from the University of Minnesota Dental School in 2018. She comes from a dental family–her dad is a dentist and her mom a hygienist. But practicing dentistry hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her other passion: Olympic-level curling. She hopes to inspire others through her drive and perseverance to reach the highest level in curling while working as a professional dentist. While they are two very different things, she believes dentistry and curling share many qualities: The grind, communication, teamwork, perseverance, practice, and constant learning, just to name a few!
