2025. Growth through perseverance.
When I reflect back on 2025, I can see where specific changes pivoted the trajectory of this year and who I am right now.
In April, my morals, personality, and worth ethic were raked through the coals because someone was in a bad mood. (Amongst other things I’m not going to post about for legal reasons)
The rest of the summer, I worked my tail off to bridge the gap created by that situation. I refused to let it sink me or my family. I kept showing up. I kept moving forward.
Then in September, I kept feeling these quiet impressions—“be ready.” I didn’t know what for, but I felt something shifting.
As you may have seen, I’ve alluded to some changes over my last handful of posts. I’ve kept it quiet as I have been processing, but now I feel I can share. After a busy day during the beginning of November, I found a “notice of termination” left on the counter for me, effective immediately. I was being fired on the grounds of subjective opinion (again, not going to post more for legal reasons) and nothing to do with my ability as a doctor or a person or my dollar production. I have lots I want to say, but all I can do is shake my head.
Walking out of that office, I felt angry and hurt… but also an unmistakable sense of relief. Like something heavy had finally been lifted off my shoulders. But relief doesn’t cancel reality—I worried about the patients I wouldn’t get to serve, the impact on my family, and what the future would hold.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
The future really is as bright as your faith.
And my faith tells me that this chapter didn’t close to take something away from me—it closed to make room for something better.
