Hi friend,
I’m sending this from the land of no schedules, no inbox, and definitely no pager. Yes, I’m on vacation, and yes, I’m still thinking about you.
This week’s newsletter is short and sweet, because even coaches need rest.
And honestly? That’s the point.
If taking time off feels “selfish” or “lazy”… that’s not your fault.
That’s the conditioning of a profession that often rewards overwork and punishes rest.
But I believe this with my whole heart:
You are not lazy for needing rest. You are human.
You don’t have to earn time off. You just have to take it.
This blog post dives deeper into that truth:

Rest is powerful. So is leadership.
If you want to grow as a leader without burning out check out this week’s new blog: Beyond Clinical Excellence: Essential Leadership Skills for the Modern Physician.
And here’s this week’s YouTube video, too:

Coach's Corner
Imagine this: You have 7 days off. No inbox. No guilt. No catch-up work waiting when you get back.
What would you do with that time?
Now ask yourself:
- What’s stopping me from actually doing that?
- And what’s one boundary I could set this month to reclaim that space?
