Craving rest but afraid to slow down?
In this final episode of the Thriving in 2025 series, I'm joined by Dr. Sonia Wright, Dr. Sunny Smith, and Dr. Karen Leitner to explore why slowing down feels so scary for physicians—and how it can transform your well-being.
If you've ever felt like you're stuck on a hamster wheel—doing more, giving more, but never feeling like it's enough—this episode will resonate. We discuss why rest and self-compassion are essential, not just for preventing burnout, but for managing stress-driven habits like overeating. Slowing down creates space to approach food and life with intention and care.
Listen now to learn the small but powerful shifts that can help you thrive in 2025.
