  • Very empowering even though I’m not a physician.

    Sunny puts out podcasts when she has something valuable to say, and I’m always so excited to see new episodes pop up! I’m not a physician, and I pass some episodes onto my Med-Student Son-in-law. Sunny’s insightful wisdom is relevant, I believe, for everyone! I’m thankful for Sunny’s thoughtful reminders about life.💛

  • Every women physician needs to listen

    I binged all the episodes available when I first discovered this podcast in 2020. I felt so seen and understood as a woman physician, especially when facing all the additional stress of the Covid pandemic. The coaching tools discussed can be life changing and life saving. Women physicians have a suicide rate 250% higher than other women, and that was before the pandemic. Share this with every woman physician you know.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode # 35 - Jill Bolte Taylor (the neuroanatomy of psychology)
Q: How did you decide to step out and publish your ideas independently rather than waiting for a traditional publisher?
She took initiative after her stroke to share her experience and knowledge directly, self-publishing My Stroke of Insight to ensure the message reached others without gatekeeping delays, and later leveraged Teddy Talks (TED Talk) to amplify the reach.
Episode #31 - Dr. Edith Eger
Q: How did you keep your mind during that time of extreme distress?
It's learning to have love, joy, and passion for life. You have to appreciate what you have before it's lost.
Episode #31 - Dr. Edith Eger
Q: Can you talk about how to actually change your thinking when we're so used to being a certain way?
Change is synonymous with growth; if you don't change, you don't grow. You must look at the same thing from a different perspective.
