Description

When reconnection creates awareness, realignment provides direction. In this episode, Dr. Joanne Sotelo and Dr. Erin Hurley explore why so many women in medicine feel exhausted, resentful, and misaligned despite career success. They unpack how “doctor programming,” outdated values, and endless shoulds quietly run daily decisions and how clarifying what truly matters now allows priorities, boundaries, time, and energy to finally align. This conversation offers practical reflection questions and simple action steps to help you move from autopilot to intentional living.
