Whose peace are you keeping? Asking for a psychiatrist.

Morgan Richard Olivier wrote, “If you keep the peace, you start a war within.”
And I see that war every week in my office.

It shows up as migraines that medicine cannot fully quiet, Aa blood pressure that refuses to cooperate, as stomach pain with no clear imaging findings or fatigue that sleep does not fix.

The body keeps receipts. When you consistently swallow your truth to keep everyone else comfortable, you may get external harmony. But internal chaos is heading your way.

Many high-achieving women were trained early to be agreeable, responsible, accommodating. To smooth things over. To be the glue. To be the bridge. To be the strong one. But glue hardens. Bridges crack. And strong women get sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Some of you are holding secrets you planned to take to your grave. And that secret is going to take you to the crave first, but not before it steals your sleep, kills your joy and destroys your peace.

When external peace is purchased at the cost of your internal truth, it is not peace. It is emotional debt heavy laden with interest. Interest paid in resentment, elevated
stress hormones and in inflammation of your soul
In quiet anger that leaks out sideways.

If keeping the peace at work or home is breaking your spirit and destroying your peace, the most loving thing you can do for your soul is to acknowledge your truth.

Stop betraying yourself. That self-betrayal always costs more than the conflict you were trying to avoid.

So I’ll ask you again: Whose peace are you keeping? And let me help you with this open book test. Keep YOURS!

HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH! Let's get it!

Some people are here for a reason. Others are for a season and others are for a lifetime. Peace is found in knowing the difference.

It’s ok to let go.

I submitted my medical school application on the VERY last day it could be postmarked. I had to be coaxed into applying by a dear friend. I didn't think I could get in. What happened to the girl who arrived to campus thinking she could do anything? She listened to those who had "experience."

When it was time for me to apply to medical school, the chair of my department told me I should apply to nursing. After that, my confidence plummeted. It was knee high to a gnat. I was afraid I wouldn’t be admitted. But my friend looked me dead in the eye and said make THEM tell you no. Don’t YOU tell you no.

That may be the some of the very best counsel I ever received. I acquiesced but not with confidence. Guess who didn't ask my chairman for a letter of recommendation. Me!

I got recommendations from the people who believed in me. Yet the damage was done. I only applied to ONE medical school. I got in. We BOTH got in!

I had graduated from high school at 16 then I left undergrad early and graduated from medical school before I graduated with my undergraduate degree. Who does that? Those who have people in their corner telling them they can do it, even before they know they can.

I am the only person I know who received a MD before their Bachelors Degree. I can only imagine I would be without THAT one piece of wise counsel: "Apply anyway"? Where would those I have impacted be without me if I hadn't applied anyway?

You may be standing in the valley of decision wondering if you should apply, if you are enough. You may be considering not applying for that job, that college, that internship because you can't stand the thought of not getting in. You may think they are going to tell you so what's the use.

Trust me I OVERstand. And yet, I gently suggest that you consider applying anyway. Do it scared. Do it shaking. Just do it.

If they tell you no, that's exactly what you have right now. But what if they tell you YES? What if they tell you YES?

If you're looking for a sign, consider this it!

Be analytical and intentional about who you have in your corner.

My happy place? It is when my service flows from purpose, not pressure; when my calendar agrees with my core values and when my yes feels like joy instead of obligation.

I have learned that many are not operating from their happy place. They are performing from pressure, fear, or guilt. And while those can motivate you to get moving, they are terrible long-distance coaches. They will not help you endure.

Sustainable action requires intention, alignment and the courage to say yes with clarity and no without apology. The work I do- helping others get intentional, aligned, mission oriented, and strategic about revenue generating opportunities-helps organizations retain top talent and helps individuals get back to their why and their joy.

Last night I had the pleasure of spending time with the phenomenal leadership team of Junior League, an organization committed to advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through action, collaboration, and training. That mission is powerful. And powerful women still need boundaries.

Thank you to the of Junior League and to every woman who showed up ready to reflect, recalibrate, and realign.

What a gift to support the strategic vision of such remarkable women in such an extraordinary organization like the in their , and efforts!
