Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThe question that reveals everything about why you're stuck (and how to get unstuck)Before we dive in, I want you to do something. Right now, finish this sentence: "If I had more help, I'd..." Don't filter it. Don't edit it. Just let your brain complete that thought.What came up for you? Was it "see more patients" or "finally start that exercise routine"? The answer reveals more about your relationship with help than you might realize.What You'll Learn:Why women physicians are systematically under-resourced (and why acknowledging this matters)The stories we tell ourselves about help that keep us stuckHow to distinguish between task help and cognitive load reliefThe difference between "done" and "done perfectly" (and why it matters)Practical strategies to reduce mental load without micromanagingKey Insights:If your story is "more help means more work," you'll never accept helpMost of us are already doing more work than we're given credit forClear expectations aren't micromanaging - they're essential for actual supportCognitive load often weighs more than actual tasksThe Reality Check: You walk around with an instruction manual in your head for everything. Other people don't have access to that manual. The gap between what you expect and what others deliver isn't about their incompetence - it's about unclear communication.Your Action Step: Identify one area where you need help, then get specific about what "done" actually looks like. Not perfect - just done.Let's ConnectNeed more support?
