Today's topic is something that strikes a chord with many doctors: the underestimated power of saying "no."

We often fall into the trap of saying "yes" too readily, whether it's to avoid disappointing others or to prove our worth. But in doing so, we may be unknowingly setting ourselves back. Overcommitting can hinder our progress, preventing us from achieving our goals and living a life that truly reflects our values.

In this episode, we explore the art of saying "no" strategically. Discover how to set boundaries, assert your wants and needs, and, most importantly, empower yourself to focus on your dreams and aspirations. Your dream life is within reach, and it starts with the courage to say "no" when necessary.

Join us and start your journey toward success by harnessing the power of "no." Your dream life is waiting, and it begins with this transformative conversation.

Welcome back to a new season! Im excited to bring you new content and new guests.

In this episode, I share how

- to live a fun, exciting, value based life

- you can still be of service without self sacrifice 

- I was able to take off the entire month of August!

Join me as I talk to Dr Tony Chin-Quee about his highly anticipated memoir, “I Can’t Save You”— a candid account of the ways in which medical residency training shattered the mind of an empathetic, well-intentioned doctor, and the arduous task of piecing it back together again through painful and overdue self-discovery—was released by Riverhead Books on April 4 th , 2023 to critical acclaim.

This memoir is an attack on things we believe to be true by uncovering subconscious beliefs that dictate our thoughts and actions. Its brilliant!

And Im not just saying that because we were classmates and friends.

It is written for non-medical audiences but also written for Black doctors in the way it taps into the many facets of our experiences. It covers race, religion, relationships- romantic, friendships, and familial, self love and identity, substance use, and mental health.
