As a mother and a doctor, I know you are sometimes worried and afraid, overwhelmed and overstretched. But your families depend on you to be their foundation. You're imperfect. And that's okay.
Because you are something better.
You're whole, fierce, and unshakeable.

Author Brianna Wiest wrote, “there are four natural sanctuaries: silence, solitude, stillness, and simplicity.” The last part, simplicity, has been instrumental in my burnout recovery. In fact, simplicity has been the word of my year for the past 5 years. A simple life = a life built on priorities. YOUR priorities. Essential for simplicity is […]
Is that too big of a promise? Haha! I stand by it. This framework came to me while I was in the shower. I almost sprained my ankle to map it out for you all, so…you know it’s going to be great! So what is this great life framework anyway? It’s a simplicity filter! I […]
Yes, that’s right. I want you to do a time audit. (GROOOAAAANNNNNN). Why? Do you ever feel that your life is governed by crises rather than true priorities? Like the dog gets sick and needs to see the vet. Your attic has a new leak. Or your child has a test tomorrow and just told […]

As a resident, you start to let medical culture mould you. You choose a speciality and adopt its personality. You start to grow a […]
Imagine this: You wake up, pee, and then take a shower… Wait, what—was that a dream? (Right? Aren’t there about 20 missing steps in that sequence???) Whether you’re the only one to react to the dirty sock lying next to the hamper, the first one who steps up to say YES to help a sick […]
Even better than “having it all” is being very clear with what you want in the first place. Your “all” and my “all” are going to be different. But if you accept society’s definition of “all”, you might be chasing a lot of things without 100% energy–ultimately gaining very little happiness in the process. My family recently […]
