Physician leaders, let’s be honest, it takes a serious amount of conscious effort to carve out time for ourselves.

Prioritizing sleep, movement, nutrition, in addition to the reflection that is necessary to make us strong leaders, not to mention, trying to make sure we are there for all of the important events in our families’ lives too. 

Add in perfectionism and a lifetime of people-pleasing, and suddenly boundaries feel impossible.

But here’s the truth: without strong boundaries, leadership and a balanced life aren’t even a thing. 

You burn out, resentment builds, and the very people you’re trying to serve get less of you, not more.

In today’s episode, I want to flip the script. 

I’ll walk you through what I see as the five pillars of building boundaries that actually hold — so you can lead with clarity, protect your energy, and show up as the leader your team deserves.

Saying “no” is hard enough, but this is about way more than that. It’s about saying yes to what matters most.
