Why are clinicians expected to work 24-hour shifts and 80+ hour work weeks? How are we supposed to survive (let alone thrive) while experiencing chronic sleep deprivation?

My guest this week, Dr. Laura Vater, is a TEDx speaker, writer, practicing oncologist, and advocate for change in the healthcare system. Join us for an open, honest conversation about how to navigate a system that violates your values on a daily basis.

You’ll learn:

• The sordid origin story of residency training in the United States
• Why chronic sleep deprivation is destroying our mental health and creating a crisis of burnout
• Dr. Laura Vaters's “writing for wellness” initiative and the therapeutic power of journaling and expressive writing for burnout recovery.

This is such a beautiful conversation and I cannot wait for you to listen in.
