Episode Synopsis

This week, Kendra and Katie unpack a quiet but common struggle among physician spouses: the belief that gratitude and dissatisfaction can't coexist. We explore: Why so many physician spouses downplay their hard moments The "gratitude as gaslighting" trap How privilege guilt + comparison silence our real needs A simple AND vs BUT framework to spot healthy vs harmful gratitude How to hold emotional complexity without minimizing yourself Four questions to help you take action instead of staying stuck Why acknowledging what's hard is not selfish—but essential for thriving Key Takeaway: You can be grateful and want change. You can love your life and need more support. Both things can be true.
