Surgeons, text topics you want me to cover here.


Facial plastic surgeon, entrepreneur, and life coach, Dr. Dan Ward, comes on the podcast to share his story. He offers his insights on the struggles of parenting, what makes it difficult for surgeons to show up as our best selves, and the power of understanding our human brain and human emotions.

In this episode you'll learn:

- Thoughts are real but not true

- The two rules of CBT

- Why it makes sense that surgeons tend to act like toddlers 

- Drama is a symptom of cognitive distortion

- The problem with buying into all the stories our brain tells us

- The importance of taking care of ourselves and our tribe when we create big things

- It’s okay to downsize, seek help, and advocate for ourselves

- If we are going at a million miles per hour, we need to prioritize rest and recovery

- Masterminding is an incredible way for surgeons to support each other
