No time for goals: A quick exercise to get some clarity

Jan 30, 2025

Let's talk about something we hear from physicians all the time:

"I want things to be different, but I'm not even sure what I'm aiming for."

We get it. When you're busy surviving, figuring out how to clarify your own goals can feel like just another thing on the to-do list.

Let's try something different. A tiny experiment, if you will:

Take 30 seconds (yes, really - we know you're busy).
Close your eyes and travel forward six months in time:
You're walking into your everyday life, but something feels different. Better.
What's the first thing that feels lighter? What's missing that's currently exhausting you? How are you showing up differently?

No need to figure out the 'how' yet. Just let yourself imagine that future moment.

Perhaps you glimpsed a sense of calm replacing the constant rush. Maybe you felt more energy for the things that matter, or experienced clearer boundaries without the guilt. Perhaps you even imagined enjoying medicine again.

If your analytical mind is already jumping to "But HOW?"
We want you to know - this is exactly where PLB shines.

In PLB, we help busy physician moms bridge the gap between "I want things to be different" and "Wow, things ARE different." You'll transform those fuzzy feelings into clear direction, finding solutions that actually work for your real life.

You don't need to have it all figured out. That's what we're here for.

It’s because the goal never got a system. We tend to set goals as if they’re self-executing. Eat ...
So I guess I'm handling this: If only resentment could make others change
Resentment tends to show up in people who are generous, capable, and very good at handling things. It usually doesn’t start as anger. It starts as accommodation. Saying yes because it feels easier. Staying quiet to keep things smooth. Taking one for the team. At first, this can look like maturity. Or professionalism. Or being low maintenance. Then something shifts. You notice a tightness. A sho...
Something a little different this week: Our latest podcast conversation and what's coming next
We were guests on the Conscious Corner with Courtney podcast, hosted by our colleague Courtney Schulnick, an attorney turned mindfulness coach for busy professionals.  We had a lot of fun sharing the mic with Courtney and talking about the challenges that physician women face.  Click HERE to listen to our interview with Courtney.  The conversation was especially timely since we’re in the middle...
