Hello Doctor Humans!

Today we’re having one of those honest, slightly spicy conversations that we know so many doctors are quietly having in their own heads. In this episode, we’re unpacking why ward service feels so hard - even when the clinical work itself is going well. We talk openly about dread, burnout, loss of freedom, and the confusing mix of loving our work while feeling completely drained by it. This is a vulnerable, reflective episode about choice, autonomy, and what it really means to thrive (or not) in this season of our lives.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why ward service can feel exhausting even when competence isn’t the issue
• The role of dread, restriction, and loss of freedom in doctor burnout
• How self-care alone doesn’t always solve the problem
• The difference between feeling “forced” and recognising our choices
• Redefining failure, success, and thriving during intense work periods
• How naming the real problem gets us closer to meaningful solutions

We’d love to hear from you. Does this resonate with your experience of ward service or on-call work? What helps you cope - or what still feels unresolved? Drop a comment, share an emoji if it’s a me too moment, or tell us what’s worked (or hasn’t) for you!

Hello Doctor Humans!

Today, we’re talking about shame, mistakes, and the fear of being seen trying. From sending emails without links to small slip-ups that make us cringe, we’ll share real stories and show you how mindset coaching and practical tools can help you move through shame and keep going. Grab a cuppa, get cozy, and join us as we explore being human, fallible, and unstoppable.

In this episode, we explore:

• Everyone experiences shame, especially when putting yourself out there or trying something new.
• Small mistakes, like forgetting a link in an important email, can trigger big feelings of embarrassment and perceived incompetence.
• Mindset coaching teaches us to notice thoughts and feelings in real time and respond instead of reacting.
• Building a “toolbox” helps us reframe mistakes, shake off shame, and take the next action without being held back.
• Experiential learning—repeatedly taking action, failing, feeling shame, and recovering—is key to mastering resilience.
• Simple mantras like “I love and accept myself” can be powerful for navigating shame while continuing to act.
• The ultimate lesson: failure and discomfort don’t stop progress; learning to sit with these feelings is the secret to becoming untamable.

If this episode resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you! Share your stories, thoughts, or even your favorite coping tools for handling shame and mistakes!

Hello Doctor Humans,

In today’s episode, we dive deep into one of the most universal struggles we face as doctors: making big life and career decisions when there is no “right” answer. With medicine training us to follow the steps, tick the boxes, and please the people in authority, it’s no wonder we end up overwhelmed when our careers suddenly open into a world of infinite options.

Today, we’re unpacking why so many of us feel stuck, how to stop outsourcing our decisions to external validation, and the powerful tools that help you reconnect with your intuition, your values, and your true north.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why so many doctors feel overwhelmed by endless career options.
• The hidden cost of validation-based decisions.
• Why intuition is a skill you can build.
• How relying on others for answers holds you back.
• How expectations can disconnect you from your true north.
• Why tolerating uncertainty changes everything.
• How to use advice without letting it override your voice.
• What future-visualization tool to use to clarify your next step.

We hope you find this episode helpful and if so, be sure to share with a friend who needs to hear this message too.

Hello Doctor Humans 💛

This is Part 2 of last week’s conversation — but this episode isn’t really about picking a word for the year.

It’s about something deeper.

Why is it so hard to be yourself as a doctor?

Why does visibility feel uncomfortable?

And when did humility quietly turn into hiding?

In this episode, we unpack how clinician conditioning shapes the way we see ourselves — and how even the most caring, capable doctors can end up turning their volume down without realising it.

Using our 2026 words as a lens, we explore why real growth doesn’t feel neat or motivating — it feels uncomfortable, exposing, and sometimes downright scary. And why that discomfort is often the clearest sign you’re moving in the right direction.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why being “fully yourself” can feel unsafe in medicine
• How humility can quietly become a way of shrinking
• Why goals often trigger resistance before results
• What it really means to stop judging yourself (and others)
• Why visibility and self-recognition are deeply uncomfortable — and deeply necessary
• How choosing a word can act as a compass back to who you actually are

If last week helped you choose a word, this week is about understanding why that word might feel hard to say out loud — and why that’s the point.

If you’ve already chosen a word for 2026, we’d love to hear it. And if you haven’t, let this be your permission to slow down, reflect, and choose a word that doesn’t just sound nice — but asks you to show up more fully in your own life.

Hello Doctor Humans,

Welcome to 2026 with us, Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc!

Today we’re sharing a simple but powerful tradition that completely shifted our 2025: choosing one word to anchor the year. Not goals, not resolutions — an identity. A compass we carry into every consult, every boundary, every decision. This episode is for every doctor who wants to thrive without burning out, invest in what truly matters, and step into the next version of themselves with intention and courage.

In this episode, we explore:

• One “Word for the Year” works as a compass and filter for decisions and boundaries
• Our 2025 words (like intentionality, impact, discernment, double down) shaped our identity, behavior, and clinic energy
• The word should represent a stretch or transformation, not safety or convenience
• Accountability hack: share your word publicly so your community holds you to it
• Use your word on a vision board or environment reminders for effortless reinforcement
• Reflect first: Ask yourself what aligned, what didn’t, what keeps knocking on your mind

If we’re honest, 2025 was incredible because we were intentional — and 2026 will be even bigger, braver, and more aligned.

We’d love to hear your reflections — What word are you choosing for 2026? Drop it in the comments, tag us, or share a story where truth-telling or intentional decisions changed your clinic or life.

Hello, Doctor Humans!

Today, we’re diving into a topic every single one of us deals with: procrastination.

We’re breaking down why we avoid the simplest tasks, why it has nothing to do with the task itself, and how procrastination is really just emotional discomfort in disguise. We walk through the 3 step process we use ourselves to move through procrastination with compassion, curiosity, and way less drama. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I avoiding something so easy?” — this episode is going to make you feel incredibly seen and get you back on track

In this episode, we explore:

• Why procrastination is rarely about the task itself
• Emotional avoidance as the hidden driver
• Step 1 — Identify the emotion you’re avoiding
• Step 2 — Commit to feeling it (timers help!)
• Step 3 — Gather real-life evidence that you survived it
• The surprising difference between overwhelm vs boredom
• How to build confidence by celebrating the smallest wins
• A gentle reframing of productivity as emotion regulation, not discipline

What’s one tiny task you’ve been procrastinating on, and which step are you starting with today? Tell us in the comments!

Hello, Doctor Humans!

Today, we’re unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the medical system teaches us to stay quiet, overwork, and accept “normal” as “okay.” This one’s all about reclaiming your worth, speaking up respectfully, and understanding that gratitude for your job doesn’t mean surrendering your basic rights. If you’ve ever been afraid to “rock the boat,” this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Just because something is normal in medicine doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.
• Gratitude for your role should never equal giving up your boundaries or rights.
• You’re far more valuable to your workplace than you think — hospitals depend on you showing up and thriving.
• Self-advocacy isn’t arrogance — it’s a reflection of self-respect and professional maturity.
• Recognize the difference between “rocking the boat” and simply standing up for what’s reasonable.
• Mindset + understanding your rights = empowerment that changes how you show up.
• When you value yourself, you teach others how to treat you — including your peers, seniors, and the system itself.

We’d love to hear from you — what’s one situation where you realized your value as a doctor?

Or maybe where you forgot it for a while?

Hello, doctor humans!

Today’s episode is one of those raw, real, “we almost didn’t record this” moments.

We’re talking about the times you think, “I can’t do this.” But here’s the truth — every single time you thought you couldn’t… you did. Today, we’re inviting you to pause, take stock, and remember the times you’ve proven yourself wrong. Because sometimes, our greatest growth comes from those messy, imperfect moments when we just show up anyway.

• Those “I can’t do this” moments are often the doorway to discovering how much capacity you really have.
• You’ve already done hard things — and you’ll do them again, often more beautifully than you think possible.
• Life rarely gives us perfect conditions. You can still create something meaningful even when you’re tired, sick, or overwhelmed.
• Knowing when to rest and when to push through is part of emotional mastery — both are essential skills.
• Asking for help isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. Sometimes the reason we can do the impossible is because we’re not doing it alone.
• Real leadership (and real humanity) isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, imperfection, and compassion for yourself.

If this conversation resonated with you, we’d love to hear from you. Share your own “I thought I couldn’t do it — but I did” story in the comments or send us a message.

Your story might just remind another doctor-human that they can too. 💙
