Book here: https://2ly.link/27dxLHello, Doctor Humans!Today, we’re unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the medical system teaches us to stay quiet, overwork, and accept “normal” as “okay.” This one’s all about reclaiming your worth, speaking up respectfully, and understanding that gratitude for your job doesn’t mean surrendering your basic rights. If you’ve ever been afraid to “rock the boat,” this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.In this episode, we’ll dive into:Just because something is normal in medicine doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.Gratitude for your role should never equal giving up your boundaries or rights.You’re far more valuable to your workplace than you think — hospitals depend on you showing up and thriving.Self-advocacy isn’t arrogance — it’s a reflection of self-respect and professional maturity.Recognize the difference between “rocking the boat” and simply standing up for what’s reasonable.Mindset + understanding your rights = empowerment that changes how you show up.When you value yourself, you teach others how to treat you — including your peers, seniors, and the system itself.We’d love to hear from you — what’s one situation where you realized your value as a doctor?Or maybe where you forgot it for a while?

Book here: https://2ly.link/27dxLHello, doctor humans!Today’s episode is one of those raw, real, “we almost didn’t record this” moments.We’re talking about the times you think, “I can’t do this.” But here’s the truth — every single time you thought you couldn’t… you did. Today, we’re inviting you to pause, take stock, and remember the times you’ve proven yourself wrong. Because sometimes, our greatest growth comes from those messy, imperfect moments when we just show up anyway.Those “I can’t do this” moments are often the doorway to discovering how much capacity you really have.You’ve already done hard things — and you’ll do them again, often more beautifully than you think possible.Life rarely gives us perfect conditions. You can still create something meaningful even when you’re tired, sick, or overwhelmed.Knowing when to rest and when to push through is part of emotional mastery — both are essential skills.Asking for help isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. Sometimes the reason we can do the impossible is because we’re not doing it alone.Real leadership (and real humanity) isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, imperfection, and compassion for yourself.If this conversation resonated with you, we’d love to hear from you. Share your own “I thought I couldn’t do it — but I did” story in the comments or send us a message.Your story might just remind another doctor-human that they can too. 💙In this episode, we’ll dive into:

Book here: https://2ly.link/27dxLHello doctor humans!Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits every doctor’s nerve: why we don’t leave work on time.If you’ve ever found yourself staying late to finish that “one last thing,” or if you’ve felt guilty walking out on time while others keep working — this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the seven hidden reasons we stay past our shifts, from the sneaky “hero complex” to cultural expectations and even our perfectionist brains chasing that sweet, sweet dopamine hit of a cleared to-do list. We promise — this one’s going to stir up some feelings, but also offer a whole lot of clarity and compassion.In this episode, we’ll dive into:The Hero Complex – That internal belief that “if I don’t do it, everything will fall apart” — and how this noble intention can quietly burn us out.Being Overly Available – How being too approachable and visible keeps you stuck doing extra work that isn’t yours.Toxic Culture & Expectations – Why hospital culture normalizes staying late — and how to start challenging it (with empathy and courage).Short Staffing ≠ Your Responsibility – Learning to set limits, advocate for yourself, and stop carrying an entire team’s workload on your back.The To-Do List Trap – The myth of “finishing everything” and how chasing that relief keeps you stuck in an unhealthy cycle.Self-Worth & Avoidance – Exploring how staying late can sometimes be about avoiding our own lives outside of work.Redefining What Makes a ‘Good Doctor’ – Choosing alignment over exhaustion and giving yourself permission to go home.If this episode hits close to home — if you’ve found yourself torn between being a “good doctor” and taking care of yourself — we’d love to hear from you.Share your thoughts with us in the comments or DM us on Instagram.

Book here: https://2ly.link/27UJ6Hello, doctor humans!In this episode we’re unpacking a familiar but sneaky story many doctors carry: the belief that “if it isn’t hard, it isn’t worthy.” From choosing a specialty, to surviving exams, to finally finishing training and wondering why we can’t just relax. We talk about where that drive comes from, how it shapes our choices, and how to intentionally choose ease (without shame) so we can build a fuller life beyond constant struggle. If you’ve ever felt like you must earn your worth through effort, this one’s for you.In this episode, we’ll dive into:The “no pain, no gain” narrative is common in medicine and leads us to equate worthiness with hardship.Many doctors choose harder paths (or avoid ease) because of an underlying sense of “not enough.”Finishing training often leaves a weird limbo — we expect relief but can feel guilty for wanting ease.Practical examples: specialty-choice paralysis, doing medical reading on holiday, and abandoning hobbies during exams.How to spot the drivers behind decisions: look at the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that push you toward hard or easy choices.The cost of always choosing hard: missed presence, relationships, creativity, and micro-moments we can’t get back.Small experiments to test a new way of living: try bringing work to the beach and being present, or deliberately choosing the easier route and noticing the outcome.Reframing: acknowledging we are already enough and that ease, joy, and presence are valid, valuable ways to live.We’d love to hear from you — do you feel confident enough to choose the easier path? Or does the idea of not having your foot heavy on the accelerator terrify you?Share this episode with a colleague who needs permission to take their heavy foot off the accelerator — let’s normalise choosing ease together.

Book here: https://2ly.link/27UJ6Hello, doctor humans!In this week’s episode, we’re diving into something that feels like a game-changer for both of us in clinic and beyond—finding what we’re calling “The Sweet Spot.” It’s that place where we’re not in survival mode, not overextending ourselves trying to be the “perfect” doctor, but instead showing up authentically, with enoughness at the core. We can’t wait to share it with you because we know so many of you will resonate with the tug-of-war between “not enough” and “trying too hard.”In this episode, we’ll dive into:Kristeen’s breakthrough in clinic: discovering “The Sweet Spot” between survival and over-performance.Why both extremes—barely coping and overextending—leave us drained.How subconscious narratives of “not being enough” sneak into our work and self-image.The idea of the infinite hypothesis—why the “I’m not enough” story can never be proven wrong if we keep feeding it.What changes when we stop performing and simply show up as our authentic selves.How feedback from patients and colleagues can affirm that who we are is already enough.Why aging, life experience, and self-awareness can open the door to releasing old narratives.We’d love to hear from you—do you know this feeling of neutrality or is it a new concept for you? Have you found your own “sweet spot” in medicine or life?Experiment in your clinic and report back. We can’t wait to keep this conversation going with you.

Whether it’s in front of patients, colleagues, or even friends, there are those moments where we feel pressure to act like we know more, feel less, or have it all together.Today, we’re unpacking what’s really happening underneath that urge (often shame, fear, or people-pleasing) and exploring how telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, can free us and deepen our relationships.In this episode, we’ll dive into:Why the instinct to “pretend” shows up in professional and personal spaces.How people-pleasing and small “white lies” can erode trust over time.A vulnerable story about missing commitments and the pull to hide versus choosing honesty.The powerful role of shame in driving us to cover up—and how truth is the antidote.Why patients, colleagues, and loved ones can handle the truth—and why it honors them when we share it.How practicing authenticity sets healthier expectations in both personal and professional relationships.What situations have tempted you to pretend, and how did you handle it?
