You’re kind to others—but how kind are you to yourself? 💛

If you’re a high achiever, your inner voice may be far tougher than anything you’d say to a friend. That self-criticism can become one piece of what I call the burnout trifecta. 🔥

I joined Cindy Rowe on “The Kindness Advantage” podcast to talk about what happens when the demands of work and home collide—and why returning to work after having a child can feel so much harder than you expected. 👶🏽💼

We also talked about double burnout: the exhaustion that can come from trying to give your best to your career and your family while leaving little for yourself.

And we explored a question that sounds simple but can change so much: How do you speak to yourself when you’re struggling? 💭

Thank you, Cindy, for making space for this conversation. 🎙️

What helps you respond to yourself with kindness on a hard day? ✨

P.S. If you’re looking to bring in speakers to your organization imagine a fireside chat sort of like this to discuss “The Thrival Code” and how your employees can have sustainable success instead of burning out. We’re now taking bookings for 2027. Send me a DM for more details.

Working moms don’t need more willpower.

We need simple systems that work with our actual lives.

That’s why Parent’s magazine asked me about the system I’ve been teaching busy professional moms for years.

The 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 helps you look at the week ahead, reduce the mental load, and make a plan before Monday hits.

A calmer week starts on Sunday.

The has been reauthorized through 2030 and I’m so grateful to Senator Tammy Duckworth for supporting the full funding needed to make it effective. 🏥

Why does this matter? Because we’ve already seen progress from the original Lorna Breen Act programs:

● 📉 35% reduction in staff turnover
● 📉 50% decrease in mental health conditions
● 📈 47% improvement in job satisfaction

Thank you for investing in these evidence-informed initiatives and helping us fix the systems that cause burnout. 🩺

👉I almost couldn’t watch “The Pitt.”

Not because it was unrealistic…
But because it was too accurate.

After 15 years working in the ER 🚑, it brought back memories I thought I had moved past.

The chaos.
The pressure.
The moments that stay with you long after your shift ends.

And it reminded me of something we don’t talk about enough:

We teach high performers how to push through.
We don’t teach them how to recover.

That’s where burnout lives.

I wrote about this in my latest article published in Time (!!)

👉 https://time.com/article/2026/04/16/what-the-pitt-says-about-burnout/

If you’ve ever felt exhausted even though you’re doing everything “right”… this is for you.

🔥 Big moment. I had to share…

Just got an article I wrote accepted by Fortune Magazine… and what’s most exciting isn’t just the feature—it’s what it represents.

For years, I’ve worked with physicians on burnout recovery.

But burnout isn’t just a problem for physicians.
It’s a high-performer problem.

I see it in law, tech, finance.
I see it in entrepreneurs.
I see it in leaders across industries.

High performers are wired to push, achieve, and deliver—
often at the expense of their own well-being.

And here’s what I’ve learned:

Even if we fixed every broken system tomorrow…
burnout wouldn’t disappear.

Because we’ve never been taught how to recover from sustained stress.

That’s the larger conversation I’m stepping into now.

Not just for physicians—
but for high performers everywhere across industries.

Excited (and a little stretched) to share this next chapter. 🚀

The article comes out later this week!! Can’t wait to share it with you. It’s got a really HOT hook. Follow me for more about burnout recovery for high-performers.

👎50% of female medical students struggle with imposter thoughts.

I was one of them.

During my first year of medical school, I failed my neuroanatomy final exam. It was the first exam I had ever failed in my life. 🤦‍♀️

And my brain immediately went to 😈:

Maybe I don’t belong here.
Maybe they made a mistake admitting me.
Maybe I’m a fraud.

Last week I returned to speak at the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

The room was packed with record attendance.

Which told me something immediately:

Many medical students are quietly having the same thoughts.

Research shows:
• that 50% of female and 25% of male medical students experience imposter thoughts.

In other words, these thoughts are extremely common among high achievers especially those who are underrepresented in their industry.

✨The moment these amazing students realized they weren’t alone, you could feel the room relax.✨

We talked about something medical training rarely teaches:

How to talk to yourself.

I guided them through a self-compassion exercise and had them build what I call an “Evidence Bank” which is a list of all the hard things they’ve already done.💪

Because imposter thoughts aren’t facts.

I just gave a keynote at my alma mater about owning your white coat and silencing the inner critic. The talk focused on letting go of imposter thoughts as you start medical school. If you’re starting your journey or years in, this message is for you.
