My Approach to COVID-19: Open Hands

My Approach to COVID-19: Open Hands

I am a doctor, small business owner, leader of 12K women physicians, and mother of four. The coronarvirus pandemic has hit me personally in varying ways. As a physician, I’ve had to think about how to give the best care while utilizing the fewest resources. I’ve had to be flexible each day as what I knew to be true yesterday, may not be true today.

What My Kids Are Teaching Me During the COIVD-19 Pandemic

What My Kids Are Teaching Me During the COIVD-19 Pandemic

They are teaching me a lot. They’ve taught me every one of us will display stress differently. Each of us is experiencing different stressors right now. As a doctor, some of my friends are working nonstop treating patients. They are exhausted…

Mistakes Do Not Define Us

Mistakes Do Not Define Us

As I was using a Mr. Clean eraser to get out a mark on a wall this week, I thought to myself, man, I wish I could use this to erase certain mistakes in my life. Have you ever thought that about a past fail in your own life?

One In A Million

One In A Million

Mental illness is real. It is as real as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Many people, smart people, talented people, people like the amazing Kate Spade - suffer from mental illness. It’s easy to see when someone is suffering from physical pain. It’s much more difficult when one’s pain is mental or emotional.

Encouragement: An Ugly Word

Encouragement: An Ugly Word

So the perception of the encouragement is not what matters; what matters is the power that exists when we encourage one another.

My Most Important Job

My Most Important Job

When you want to grow a muscle, you have to damage it first. You have to lift something heavy and over extend it. It’s sore for a few days - and then it grows stronger …This is what happened to my heart this week.

Pulling Weeds

Pulling Weeds

Sometimes we let ‘weeds’ - very small but negative distractions, creep up and take a strong hold and become intertwined in our lives. The weeds that are obvious – different color, textures, ugly, we pull immediately when they are small. The weeds that say: I don’t belong here – those are easy to pull.

The Orchid

The Orchid

Having never had an orchid, I was in awe. I would glance at it, its grand curves and beautiful petals, as I rushed through my kitchen. It brightened my days and bolstered my spirits. Day after day, it seemed to be perfect.

Until one day, it wasn’t.

Ladies, All the Ladies

Ladies, All the Ladies

We need to embrace our successes, and we need to throw our arms around our own achievements and the achievements of other women!

A Letter to My Sons

A Letter to My Sons

I know there will be times where you feel frustrated, beaten down and overcome with responsibility. I know it is not easy to be strong men.

I also know you are not mine, you are God’s.

And you are brave enough.

2018 - Finish What You Started

I have learned not to make a list of what I plan to start; I have learned to make a list of what I plan to finish.

Sore Shins

Sore Shins

Sometimes we do things right hundreds of times. And sometimes, on the thousand time, we screw up. We fail. We catch our toe, nail a shin, and are left with a painful bruise.

Keep Going

Keep Going

Being 100%, authentically you is extremely freeing. It is awesome, brave, and takes courage and strength.

It is also completely exhausting at times.

Choose Your Tribe

Choose Your Tribe

One of the most important things my mother taught me was to choose my friends intelligently...The older I get, the more I believe who I allow to influence me plays an enormous part in the place I find myself in today.

Women at the Front

Despite working in healthcare for 15 years, I had no idea that nearly 80% of the US healthcare workforce is comprised of women (according to the Bureau of Statistics.)

Women: Speak Up

Women: Have you ever sat in a meeting where had the solutions, yet stayed quiet, too afraid to present them? We need to hear your voice.

Closer Than A Brother

Closer Than A Brother

The more you get to you know your closest friends, the more you get to know yourself. You realize that you require grace. You realize you can hurt others, are sometimes selfish, and are sometimes prideful. In other words, you realize how human you are.

He for She

This race I started out running with my colleagues where 50% of them were women, that is not the case as I glance left and right and see who is running next to me now. I am in a minority, as most of my work colleagues in leadership are men.
