Why I'm Skipping the New Year's Rush
This first episode of 2026 is not about reinvention, goal-setting, or becoming a “new you.” It’s for the ones sitting on the couch, still tired, still processing, wondering why the switch didn’t flip at midnight.
As a doctor and a New Year’s Day baby, I’ve lived my whole life under the pressure to 'start strong.' But as 2026 began, I didn't have a vision board or a 10-step plan. I just had a couch and a deep sense of fatigue.
In this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to stop fighting the pressure and start 'active waiting' instead. I talk about:
What it feels like when motivation doesn’t arrive on time
The 'Doctor’s Syndrome': Why we feel like rest has to be earned.
Learning to let the year meet you where you are
If you’re feeling behind, or if your 'ducks' aren't even in the same zip code, this is for you. Let's talk about why taking your time is the most radical thing you can do this year.
