Allowing yourself to shine is a gift to yourself and the world. This concept was and is key to my ongoing life transformation. I initially learned it through coaching. It has become an integral part of my life through practice. It was very uncomfortable to start.

Yoga on Saturday was about being “with yourself.”

Practicing it and enjoying it. Noticing how you feel. Noticing what's happening inside.

Happy National Doctors Day to all my colleagues in medicine. I am deeply committed to supporting all of you. Supporting you has been my passion since I was a chief resident in 2001. I never understood why the culture of medicine does not encourage taking care of its healers and taking care of each other as healers.

If you are "addicted to worrying", you are in good company. What could your life look like if you stopped this bad habit? Just like other addictions, it comes at a GREAT cost.

This past week I have all of sudden gotten many questions about my career pivot. How could I make a change away from something with so many benefits - for me and for others? Why would I do that? What was wrong with it?

When to stay and when to make a change. A mindful grounded approach to pivots, transitions, and next steps. Decide from clarity, not scarcity.

Relationships are beautiful and often also messy.

Those we love don't always do things as we think they “should.”

Just like we don't do things the way they think we should.
