If you’ve ever fantasized about being sick just to get a break… pause here. 😷
Many women physicians don’t struggle with taking time off—we struggle with justifying it. And even when we are actually sick, we often overwork, under-rest, and carry guilt the entire time.
In this episode, let’s break down why we’re so bad at being sick—and what to do differently.
Three reasons to listen:
1. Understand why physicians misread their capacity when they’re sick.
2. Learn the patterns that keep you overworking—even when your body needs rest.
3. Discover simple, practical ways to recover without guilt.
If you’ve been pushing through illness or struggling to rest, listen to this episode and consider what it would look like to care for yourself the way you care for others.
