Burnout shouldn’t be the norm
BEING A DOCTOR IS HARD ENOUGH
Last week, we explored the stress-sleep cycle—how chronic stress disrupts rest, and how lack of sleep amplifies stress in return. It’s a vicious loop that leaves so many of us, especially in medicine, running on empty. This week, we’re diving deeper. Because while good sleep hygiene is essential, sometimes it’s not enough. To truly restore […]
If you’re a physician whose mind won’t shut off at night, you’re not alone. You lie in bed replaying patient encounters, unfinished charts, conversations that didn’t sit right, and everything tomorrow is asking of you. The day is technically over, yet your nervous system doesn’t seem to get the memo. Your body is exhausted, but […]
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why do I hate people — even my friends?” Maybe you’ve noticed yourself avoiding phone calls, dreading small talk, or feeling inexplicably irritated by people you love.

“May her memory be a source of inspiration and love to all of us”
Birthdays and the Power of Reflection Every year when my birthday comes around, I pause to reflect. Not just on the passage of time, but on the choices—big and small—that have shaped my life. Birthdays remind us that we’re writing our own stories, page by page, year by year. This year, as I reflected on […]
This year it was a Hawaiian party. So glad the weather was nice!
