Don't Worry It's Confidential

finding balance in life and why it might not matter


Listen Later

This week we explore what it really means to find a career that feels right for you and why it doesn’t have to be just one thing. My guest is a neurologist and creative someone who beautifully balances a demanding medical career with side passions that fuel her soul.  


We dive into:  

- The nonlinear journey of finding the right career

- Balancing a high-pressure profession with creative expression  

- The myth of balance—is it real or just an illusion?  

- Burnout, imposter syndrome, and the emotional toll of being a doctor  

- Vicarious trauma in healthcare and why it’s so hard to talk about  

- The power of vulnerability and resilience—how they coexist  


We also get into the joy of hosting beautiful events, the importance of detail and cultural roots, and how creativity can be a form of healing. From working with friends to planning an unforgettable dinner party, this conversation reminds us that people are complex—and that’s what makes us beautiful.  


Tune in for a rich, honest, and inspiring conversation on career, creativity, and coming home to yourself.
