🔥 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.

👩‍⚕️ Running from patient to patient or rushing home to take care of kids after work—it's rare to see a woman doctor actually resting.

But what if we shifted our paradigm on rest?
What if instead of seeing it as an optional luxury, we understood just how productive rest actually is? 😌💡
