Honored to finally share that my book Boundaries for Women Physicians: Love Your Life and Career in Medicine won Gold for 2023 Book of the Year at the Stevie Women in Business Awards!❤️🎉🎉 #TheStevieAwards #StevieWinner2023

Just learned that my book Boundaries for Women Physicians: Love Your Life and Career in Medicine is a finalist for 2023 Book of the Year. Deeply grateful to be part our cultural change and movement in Medicine, improving our profession for generations of young women to come ❤️

This past weekend we honored National Physician Suicide Day. Bit by bit, one person at a time, we are changing the stigma of mental illness in our medical community. Watch TEDx Talk: Women Doctors are Struggling in Silence here ==>>

Thank you Haley Morgan Photography for so beautifully capturing our very first ever Pink Coat, MD at Canyon Ranch Woodside last week!!! So much love and joy in every single one of these photos 💖💖💖 What a gift our retreat was 🙏🏻

The core principle of self-compassion is to treat yourself with the same compassion that you would someone else.

With all our love and gratitude today, honoring those who have served and who we have lost ❤️ #memorialday2023

Where in your life does this show up for you?

“Do no harm” has to apply to ourselves first. ⁠ ⁠ Order you copy of Boundaries for Women Physicians =>⁠ ⁠

Spread some grace and compassion today.

Will you be in the change in medicine?

At times, we hide to keep ourselves safe by avoiding notice. A voice inside our head tells us to stay quiet, don’t make a fuss, and don’t complain, or else others will see us and all of the mistakes we make and thus won’t like us. Some call this voice our saboteur.

How can you show yourself more compassion today?

Every time you are faced with making a decision, answering a question, or making a choice, look at the list of your top core values, and ask yourself these three questions:

Our values and purpose are our internal compasses, our very own GPS systems, that guide us through life. They tell us who we are, what is important to us, and what is non-negotiable in our lives.

How very honored I was to sit down with my dear friend and national healthcare well-being leader Katie Sofia Cole, D.O. to talk about how we can all be part of healing and transforming our culture of healthcare together for the future.

Are you silently suffering from burnout and a lack of boundaries? Take this quiz to test where you land on the burnout scale and find ways to build boundaries in your personal and professional life.

One of the most powerful things we can do on our personal leadership journey is to create a personal mission or impact statement. Like our values, our personal impact statements encapsulate the core of who we are and who we want to be.

When you sense your own sign to slow down and take care of your body on the simplest level, stop. Do it now. You have the power. You can make this happen. You have more control and agency than you think you do. Allow yourself to rest.

One of my limiting patterns is my deeply ingrained pattern as a hyper achiever. My hunch is that you can relate, as the high achieving, exceptionally gifted woman physician that I know you are. You have likely been an achiever and a learner since a young age.

Putting ourselves out there enables the greatest of gift of all – of our humanity and shared experience as human beings, living and struggling and striving together through this precious and fleeing gift we call Life.
