This article really speaks to me; as a woman, a physician, mom, and a wellness/ burnout coach. I hear the pain of a life of sacrifice with many clients. Have worked tbrough the damage to my psyche and soul to the other side of what has been a mountain of growth to overcome, repair damage, find myself again. This is the work…
Women live longer than men. That’s a well-established fact across all sectors of society — except, it turns out, in the profession of medicine. A 2025 study from Harvard Medical...

You know, I don’t like political posts. AND,
I had a 16 week fetal demise back in 1987 and had a termination procedure. I googled “would I qualify for a termination of my preganancy in Texas.?” The answer is basically “probably”. See below.
Please vote for Kamala Harris and your local statewide initiative
to legalize abortion so we can have the same life saving procedures we had back in the 1980s. I cannot imagine the scariness and suffering that would have been added to my grief of the loss of my very wanted baby.
“According to current Texas law, if you experience a fetal demise at 16 weeks, you would likely qualify for a medical procedure to terminate the pregnancy, as the law only allows abortions in situations where the pregnant person's life is in danger due to a "life-threatening physical condition" arising from the pregnancy; this generally includes cases of fetal demise, but it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider to confirm your specific situation and legal options.
Key points to remember:
Strict abortion laws:
Texas currently has very restrictive abortion laws, effectively banning abortions at all stages of pregnancy except in cases where the pregnant person's life is at serious risk.” #

Just thinking about this quote and how much control (with practice) we actually have in life. It's neuroscience.
“For all our brain and body know, our world is as we envision it. If we go through our days seeing ourselves as powerless and alone, and the world as a life-or-death struggle for scarce resources, we are effectively setting our brains and bodies on guard and enhancing the threat seemingly posed by each and every event.
If, on the other hand, we see ourselves as capable and effective, and the world as a basically safe space for living and learning, we are setting our brains and bodies at ease…Crafting a positive vision of life that prepares us to act…can help us realize our highest aims for ourselves and the world.”

“Why So Many Doctors Are Using Professional Coaches”
More and more doctors are using professional coaching to manage life in medicine. The coaches, also physicians, say it might be a cure for burnout. Could it work for you?

So excited for my sons!
Joshua is going to Broadway as a musical director. Sam continues his choreography in other venues.. It is TOUGH to make it in this industry. I am super proud of them!
Somewhere in there is a lesson in resilience and putting yourself out there (time and time again).

“I am a recovering perfectionist who lost her inner badass bitch. I was left with feeling like a failure and imposter in my own life. Shame consumed me. I almost became a su***de statistic. I have always loved coaching patients and have created a second career and life I love! My life is a fulfilled life; and authentic life, and a brave life that I author and create. I am committed to bringing empowerment to women all over the world with an emphasis on my women colleagues in medicine.
In making a career change, there is what you move away from and want you move toward. If you want to make a change, including reclaiming your love for medicine, moving away from unworkability and toward freedom to BE is the secret! I moved away from unworkability in my practice of a traditional OB/Gyn and moved toward the freedom to be unleashed, self-expressed, mindful, and loud when I want to! This is what I am committed to being a part of for every one of my willing colleagues.”
