In this episode we talk about the important role of "micro-mentoring" in facebook groups for women physicians.
We also discuss one such example where women physicians reflect on and call out beliefs we have or actions we take, as if there were a badge of honor for sacrificing ourselves for others.
Let's tell the truth - from our own painfully gained knowledge that there is NO badge of honor for .... (insert some BS thing here that we have been led to believe we "should" do.

Human beings are enthralled by stories and use them as tools to connect, to make sense of the world, to engage and transmit information from one person to another, one community to another, and one generation to another. Our stories influence our beliefs and our culture. Personal heartfelt stories engage our brain in unique and powerful ways. We'll talk about why we encourage others to tell their stories inside EWP, why micro-mentoring matters, and why Social Learning Theory suggests most human learning occurs observationally through modeling. One woman physician telling her story has the power to change the world around her. Thousands of women physicians telling their story has the power to change the culture of medicine.

Dr. Milene Argo started her journey with coaching 3 years ago, which started with 80 lb weight loss, she then applied this work to optimizing her clinical practice, to managing her inbox, finally leaving work at work, no more charting at home, self acceptance, COVID, and even recent anti-racism awareness.
She is one of the best I know in using coaching techniques with her patients during routine office visits and helping them get real results.
She is now not only a client of mine for well over a year, but is now also a colleague and coach in the EWP program in addition to having her own coaching practice.
Check out her physical transformation in this video, which now matches the internal changes she has created through applying this work to all aspects of her life.https://thedoctor-coach.com/start-here

Dr. Stella Evans reflects on the last few months and how our paths crossed when she reached out while she was on quarantine for fever and cough. She then found herself at the epicenter of the world's attention as the recent anti-racism uprisings literally came to the streets in front of her home and clinic.
She reflects on how examining her thoughts, feelings, and actions during this historic time impacted what she did with her children and her family, and how she showed up in her neighborhood, her clinic, and her community. -
Dr. Sarah Watler is one of my former medical students who has spent the last year as an Intern in New York City in the largest medical center in the area hardest hit by COVID (the Bronx). She speaks openly about her experiences this year. As a Family Medicine intern focused on social justice she never expected to be doing months of critical care at the epicenter of an international pandemic. She shares her thoughts about being a Black woman physician during this time, raising awareness, and advocating for change.

How are you feeling? No really, how are you feeling. Pick a word. See if you can name how you are feeling right now. Affect labelling (naming an emotion) has been shown to decrease distress. In this episode, we talk about the neuroscience behind using your own brain to feel better.

While the COVID pandemic is spreading, I wanted to encourage us to manage what is within our control, including flattening the curve. This episode also includes reminders that now more than ever caring for yourself IS caring for others.
We can accept reality while offering hope. You'll hear from Dr. Krista Olsen, a full time obstetrician and certified coach in our program. She was COVID positive with fever, cough, and myalgia. She and her family fully recovered and she is back to clinical care.
Her story serves as a reminder that this is actually the expected and most common course of this disease. While we can learn to prepare for other scenarios, we must purposefully remind our brains that most who get sick will recover. Listen in to hear how she managed her mind through the symptoms, diagnosis, and recovery.

Welcome the beloved Hala Sabry, founder of PMG. You'll hear how PMG came to exist from a night she was feeling worry and anxiety sitting all alone on her sofa at night worrying about how she could possibly figure out how to take care of 3 small children (including twins about to be born) while being an Emergency Dept physician with unpredictable shifts and high demands. She reached out to her friend Dina and they agreed to put together a small group of friends...and the rest is history.
If you want to let me know a "big no" that you are making in your life, I'd love to hear about it and why it's important to you.
I absolutely love seeing the real change that you, a real woman physician, are making in your life. That's how we change the culture of medicine, one person at a time. You become an example of what is possible.https://empoweringwomenphysicians.com/bigno/

I encourage you to consider periodically looking at your life with the playful childlike lens of a "Choose your own adventure" story.
Maybe find a children's book or even an adult book in this genre or watch the Netflix interactive narrative Banderdash
https://www.netflix.com/title/80988062
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror:_Bandersnatch
It might just start to change the way you see things is you start to practice some autonomy, agency, self-efficacy, control. Awareness of this can spill over into your personal and professional live so that you start to create your life more on purpose.
Speaking of choosing your own adventure... in this episode we also talk about the Steamy Stethoscopes conference and tips from some strong women physicians.
Marcia Walker the conference host and Sonia Wright, midlife sex coach for women

Oh...and of course... I have to mention - registration for the next Bora Bora retreat is now open!!!

What you think over and over, your automatic thoughts, become your beliefs. What you believe is possible for your life is often what you create in your life.
What would you like to believe?
If you could believe anything was possible?
If I had a platter of beliefs and you could choose any one you wanted.
If you could teach yourself it's possible that __________, what would you like to believe you could create in your life?
You believed you could become a doctor, so you did.
What's next?
Anything you want.
Less time spent charting, less stress, more time for yourself. Who has the power to make these things happen for you? You do.

In this episode, we celebrate the arrival of the first woman physician in Congress, Dr. Kim Schrier. Woo hooooo!!! As well as celebrating over 100 women now representing us in congress (127 to be exact; 102 in the House and 25 in the Senate).
We also ask you to consider looking for opportunities. There are many places where you may feel powerless but may be able to start to take back your power.
