As an OB/GYN, we expect to lose sleep to deliveries and call and getting paged. However, many times, we aren't taking advantage of time off to actually catch up and get the right amount of sleep that we require! We often want to stay up late to take advantage of our time off, but this leaves us feeling chronically tired. With studies showing sleep deprivation leads to build up of beta-amyloid, and possibly increased risk of Alzheimer's, it is more important than ever that we prioritize getting sleep when we are able to. Come listen to find out the best sleep recommendations and ways to start improving your sleep, and your burnout, tonight. 

Medicine is full of achievers. Most of us identify as one. But what this sometimes looks like is postponing our happiness until we achieve the next great thing. It sometimes looks like striving for more and more to find our happiness. But often when we achieve the next great thing, the happiness is short lived or absent. This is known as Arrival Fallacy, and many of us fall into this in medicine. We postpone our happiness until we are done with med school, then residency, then boards. What I teach you today, is a system that I teach my clients to start finding that sense of achievement every day, without having to bust your ass to do more, earn more or achieve more. Because the things you are doing are enough, right now, in this moment. You are enough. The system I teach you trains your brain to generate the feeling of accomplishment and pride every day. AND it can help you blow your own mind with results. So tune in and let me share the love!

I'd also love it if you would leave me an iTunes review so we can get the word out to more OBGYN's that this podcast exists and is here to help!
