Becoming Virtuosa

Have you ever felt out of tune with yourself or others? Like something just isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on it? 

In this episode, I dive deep into the fascinating connections between attunement, addiction, and attachment with licensed clinical social worker Brittney Lollis Tolar. Brittney shares her expertise on how our early experiences shape our ability to form secure attachments and feel attuned to ourselves and others, and explains how insecure attachment can lead to addictive behaviors as we seek to fill the void left by a lack of genuine connection. 

Whether you’re struggling with addiction, working to heal from trauma, or simply seeking to deepen your connections, this episode offers valuable insights and tools for your journey.

Have you ever felt like you're laying down new track in your life or business? Like you've gone through a major transformation and now you're working to build up the infrastructure and systems to support your new reality?

In this episode, I share my own journey of selling my house, building a new office for my medical practice, hiring new doctors, and opening a new outpatient surgery center. It's been a whirlwind of activity with multiple new revenue streams and "engines" coming online all at once. I discuss the challenges of balancing the increased finances coming in with the need to invest in people and systems to reach the next level. I also share the importance of sometimes just sitting down to do the basic, foundational work - or "laying down new track" - so that everything else can flow smoothly.

Join me as I dive into three key things we can do to choose happiness in our daily lives. I share some wisdom I’ve gleaned from working with patients who demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity, and you’ll learn some tips for re-engaging with life in a more meaningful, joyful way.

After something traumatic, how do you know when you've truly healed, both physically and emotionally? As a surgeon, I'm often asked by patients how long it will take them to recover from a procedure. But healing is a complex process that goes beyond just the physical aspects. In this episode, we dive deep into understanding the signs of healing on multiple levels.

Our world is more in need of healing than ever before, especially after the recent hurricane Helene, the victims of which this episode is dedicated to. Join me as I explore three key ways to recognize when healing has occurred and provide important strategies for supporting others in need of healing.
