Cultivating Mind, Body, & Soul in Life, Medicine, & Leadership -- through your natural capacity for insight & wisdom.

Your flourishing serves the world. It's lots more fun too! Physicians and other health professionals CAN transform burnout into wholehearted living, loving, working and leading. "Burnout" can be a wakeup call, rather than the end of the line. It can be time to re-evaluate and reconfigure how we're living our lives -- and it may be the first time we've taken notice.

"Tell the truth about your wound, and then you will get a truthful picture of the remedy to apply to it...hold out for the right medicine. You will recognize it because it makes your life stronger rather than weaker." - Dr. Clarrisa Pinkola Estes

Healing: it's a process, and it's always possible. ❤

She's not crazy, she was abused. She's not stupid, she was manipulated. She doesn't have an attitude, she's protecting herself. She's not bitter, she's speaking the truth. She's not hanging onto the past, she's been traumatized. She's not acting weird, she's lived a nightmare. She's not weak, she was trusting. She's not giving up, she's healing.

These words resonate deeply because they speak to the profound impact of trauma and abuse on individuals. When someone experiences trauma, it's common for others to misunderstand their behavior or reactions. They might be labeled as "crazy" or "difficult," but the truth is, they're often just trying to survive.

The trauma and abuse they've endured can leave lasting scars, making everyday situations feel overwhelming or triggering. Their "protective" behavior is a coping mechanism, a way to shield themselves from further harm. When they speak out or share their truth, it's not about being "bitter" but about finding the courage to confront their experiences.

Healing is a journey, and it's not about "giving up" but about taking small steps towards recovery. It's about acknowledging the trauma and working through it, rather than letting it define them. By recognizing the impact of trauma and abuse, we can offer support and understanding, rather than judgment. We can create a safe space for survivors to heal and rebuild, acknowledging their strength and resilience.

Learning From the Body

We get confused sometimes about what “creativity” is. We actually are creating, every moment we live.

We get confused sometimes about what “creativity” is. We actually are creating, every moment we live.

“When I say be creative I don't mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.” ~Osho
