36: I Didn't Know Physicians Were Allowed to Build a Life Like This

There are moments in life when you suddenly realize you’ve come full circle.
Not in the sense that nothing has changed—but in the sense that everything has changed, and somehow the pieces are fitting together in a new (hopefully improved) way.
This week is one of those moments for me.
I’m leaving for my very first week of locums work. And while that might sound like a simple professional change, for me it represents something much bigger. It represents the journey of rediscovering what I love about medicine, while also building a life that holds space for new purpose, new learning, and new passions.
For many years, like so many physicians, I had my head down. I was working hard, doing meaningful work, and proud of what I had accomplished. But I wasn’t always allowing myself to imagine the bigger possibilities.
Today I want to share a reflection about this moment — about coming full circle, about rediscovering purpose, and about the idea that a life with multiple passions and directions might actually be more possible than we think.
