Hey doc! In this episode, I'm getting real about a recent tough week and sharing my toolkit for managing overwhelm. I dive into:

• The perfect storm that led to my overwhelm
• How I used gratitude as a first line of defense
• When gratitude isn't enough and what to do next
• The power of reaching out for support
• Why it's okay (and necessary) to take mental health days

Key takeaways:

1. Gratitude can help shift perspective, but it's not always enough
2. Don't be afraid to reach out for support or reschedule commitments
3. Self-care isn't selfish - it's necessary for showing up as your best self
4. Mental health days are valid, even for Physicians
5. Reflect on what changes you can make to prevent future overwhelm

You're human first, Physician second. It's okay to prioritize your well-being!
