Running a healthcare practice doesn't come with a manual—but that doesn't mean you have to figure it out alone.

Our nervous systems are amazing. They were designed to give us information about what is good for us and what is not. The problem is that for many of us, our bodies do not always recognize the difference between being trapped in a burning building and running late for a meeting. We have to learn […]

Quieting Your Inner Critic Burnout in healthcare doesn’t usually happen overnight. It builds slowly, through pressure, responsibility, long hours, and often an internal voice that never quite lets you rest. If you are a woman in healthcare or business, chances are you know that voice well. Almost all of the female clients I’ve worked with […]

My recent trip to the Galápagos Islands (10/10—highly recommend) unexpectedly sparked a deeper reflection on pride, belonging, and connection.
