In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with Dr. Stephanie Reeder for an honest conversation about mental health in medicine, and it's true, we really all cry.

Together, we talk about the realities few physicians discuss openly: depression, grief, suicidal ideation, self harm, etc, and the quiet toll it takes to always be the strong one. Dr. Stephanie shares her own journey through a lifetime of mental health struggles, inpatient mental health treatment, and what healing continues to look like in private practice and life.

This episode is raw, vulnerable, and vitally important in an age when we continue to lose hundreds of colleagues to suicide each year and scores more silently suffer alone.
