Description

Join Dr. Michelle Quirk and Dr. Laurel Kilpatrick for a heartfelt conversation about letting go of mom guilt and learning to rest. They share personal stories about burnout, solo travel, and the power of giving yourself permission to recharge.


Dr. Kilpatrick opens up about her own journey through burnout, her leave of absence, and how coaching helped her rebuild a sustainable, fulfilling life in medicine. Together, they explore how retreats, destination races, and mindful rest can help women physicians reconnect with themselves, not as doctors or mothers, but as whole people.


If you’ve ever struggled with guilt for taking time away or felt torn between caring for others and caring for yourself, this conversation is for you.
