  • Listening for clarity

    Just listened to #68. It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I have been mulling over becoming a patient advocate and this gives concrete advice not only on doing that but pursuing other directions from clinical practice. THANK YOU

  • Procrastination no more!

    I loved Heather’s episode on procrastination! I particularly loved the phrase “hemorrhaging happiness” as it pertains to waiting, procrastinating, and not moving forward! This is a great podcast with many applicable concepts and suggestions for physicians.
