Alone isn't the way: Unlock joy-the power of challenging thoughts together

Jan 30, 2025

We know sometimes it feels like you're swimming against the current, trying to reach your goals all by yourself. We've all been there. 

You take on so much as a physician mom and even pride yourself in your independence and capability. But we promise you - alone isn't the way. 

When you go at it alone, your thoughts and patterns get stagnant. Thoughts become habits. These habitual thoughts start to feel like indisputable facts. 

Before you know it you are trapped in your own thought bubble, seeing the world through a lens of your own making.

Here's a quick tip to try to break free from a sticky thought that is holding you back.
Challenge your thought by asking, "Is this really a fact? Could there be another way to look at this?”

Why does this work? 

It snaps you out of your thought bubble and opens you up to consider new possibilities. It's the first step to breaking free. 

Your physician brain is amazing but it can also become an echo chamber. The happiest individuals regularly expose themselves to new ideas and perspectives, preventing the formation of restrictive thought bubbles.

We know you want more joy! Consider surrounding yourself with diverse perspectives from individuals committed to personal growth. (Hint: Our coaching community might be just what you're looking for!)

Give questioning your thoughts a try, and remember - you don't have to do it alone. We’re here for you!

If someone proudly announced they were still practicing exactly the way they learned twenty years ago because "that's how I've always done it," we'd all be a little concerned. So here's a question:When was the last time you updated the standard...

Almost two years ago, we sent our first Weekly Boost. We hoped it might make someone's Tuesday a little lighter. Today is our 100th Tuesday. One hundred little reminders that life doesn't have to be lived quite so hard. Over these past hundred Tuesdays, we've shared a lot of ideas. That peace isn't waiting at the end of the to do list.That feelings are messengers, not dictators.That validation ...
Promotion denied: The best news you didn't know you needed
One of the sneakiest ways we make life harder than it needs to be is by accidentally taking responsibility for jobs that were never ours.  And we’re not talking about doing our teenager’s laundry for them.  We're talking about emotional jobs. The invisible ones we assign ourselves without even realizing it.  We tell someone how we feel... then think it's our job to make sure they understand per...
