  • Great podcast!

    Do you want a surgeon (or doctor in general) who feels good in life? Or would you prefer one who is stressed and burnt out?

    I prefer my doctors grounded and happy! Thank you for helping to make that happen!

  • Loved the webinar replay!

    Deciding what you want your life and career to look like at different stages of your life is such a great concept! So often physicians blindly follow a path in medicine, then don’t see an exit strategy when they are unhappy. Love that Amy and Amanda are offering their course on different ways to approach life and job changes.
