Dr. Jeff and I candidly address the struggle to establish boundaries in our latest heart-to-heart chat. We unwrap the complexities behind the drive for approval, share personal anecdotes of overcoming the desire to always be the 'nice guy', (See "No More Mr. Nice Guy, " by Dr. Robert Glover.) and consider the impact of emotionally immature family systems on our adult relationships. It's a conversation sprinkled with humor and honesty, aiming to empower you with the courage to prioritize self-care without remorse.

Through personal tales from my family medicine practice, we illustrate how patient experiences can leave indelible marks on medical professionals, shaping our approach to healing and human connection.

Join us as we stroll down memory lane, revisiting the days of cigarettes and golf that shaped our formative years and, ultimately, our dedication to wellness.
