- Episode 48: Grace
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
This month, I wanted to take a moment to share a little of what’s been on my mind lately.
Over these past few months, I’ve felt the weight of challenges in medicine more acutely than ever before.
Long days, nights, unexpected hurdles, and the constant need to adapt have tested my patience and my resilience.
In wrestling with my thoughts, experiences, especially when thinking about the many, many hurdles overcome on this path to medicine, I found something valuable that I hope you can utilize too: grace.
The grace to forgive myself when I fall short, to show up again the next day, and to remember that growth often looks a lot messier than we’d like to admit.
Over the decades, the ups and downs of life, loss, I found reminding myself that an attitude of cheer, accountability, and adaptability isn’t just nice to have—it’s fundamental to any lifelong learner.
Those qualities have been my anchor, and I hope you can find ways to make them your own too.
As we head into this long weekend, please consider carving out a little time to rest and reflect.
You might ask yourself where you can be a bit more forgiving, a bit more hopeful, and a bit more willing to adjust course.
Small shifts like these can make all the difference!
Take good care of yourself and the people around you—Happy Independence Day!
