  • #58 Self-Concept Shapes Everything
    2025/08/11

    Are you a woman surgeon ready for a transformative January (1/9/26-1/11/26) retreat in Cabo? Click here to book your call and see if it’s the perfect fit for you.

    Your self-concept is the story you tell yourself about who you are. It shapes everything: the decisions you make, the risks you take (or avoid), and the way you show up in the world. But most of us never consciously choose it. Instead, we inherit it from cultural messages, past experiences, and unconscious beliefs we’ve never questioned.

    In this episode, we explore the hidden beliefs that quietly steer your career, relationships, and happiness as well as the behaviors and emotions of imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, or perfectionism.

    Because changing your self-concept is not about waiting for confidence to arrive; it's about deciding to become the person you want to be, and then stepping into your power.

    What happens when the surgeon becomes the patient? When the body you relied on to do your life’s work… stops cooperating?

    Today’s guest, Dr. Stephanie Pearson, walks us through her powerful, often painful journey, from aspiring pediatrician to ObGyn surgeon to founder of PearsonRavitz, a physician disability insurance firm born from lived experience.

    This episode is a raw, inspiring conversation about loss, identity, reinvention, and the deep cracks in our medical system that no one talks about until it’s too late.

    We cover:

    🔹 Wanting to be just like her childhood pediatrician, and realizing in med school she couldn't make kids cry

    🔹 The inappropriate OR moment that changed her surgical trajectory (and the perfect clapback that still lives rent-free)

    🔹 Falling in love with ObGyn by accident and matching into her dream program

    🔹 The career-ending injury: torn labrum, frozen shoulder, being called a “pussy” by an orthopedic surgeon, and ultimately losing her surgical identity

    🔹 The spiral that followed, and how a puppy and her husband saved her life

    🔹 What happens when physicians become the meanest part of your grief

    🔹 Losing everything that brought joy: martial arts, rock climbing, her career

    🔹 Trying to rebuild through med mal, biotech, editing, until nothing lit her up

    🔹 The disability insurance nightmare (rejected workman’s comp, denied group policy), and why she sued the state of Pennsylvania

    🔹 Getting licensed in insurance and crying in her car when she passed... because she didn’t get an A

    🔹 Why musculoskeletal injuries are just the tip of the iceberg for physician disability

    🔹 The “emotional ergonomics” of surgery and why we need an ergonomic time-out

    🔹 What it means to “protect the asset”

    🔹 People-pleasing, perfectionism, and the impossible standard for woman surgeons

    🔹 How understanding both medicine and insurance is her value add

    🔹 Building a mission-driven business (Pearson Ravitz just turned 8!)

    🔹 Why she won’t be satisfied until every resident is covered

    🔹 The quiet truth: Physicians are human. Health issues happen. And identity can evolve.

  • #56 Prioritizing Non-negotiables with Dr. Hannah Thompson and Chris Herring
    2025/07/28

    Medicine often forgets the people who live just beyond the call room: the spouses, the partners, the ones holding it together while the system pulls physicians apart. In this conversation, we meet Hannah and Chris, a couple who turned conflict into clarity.

    As the husband of a physician, Chris found himself isolated and invisible during Hannah’s residency. What followed were hard conversations, conscious choices, and a shared commitment to rewrite the rules. Together, they challenge the unspoken norms of medicine, from toxic gratitude and performative suffering to the misplaced belief that having a family somehow weakens you as a physician.

    They also introduce their project, The Other Side Med, aimed at supporting the often-ignored partners of those in medicine and building a new vision of success that includes relationships, rest, and real human connection.

    In This Episode, We Discuss:

    • The origin story of The Other Side Med and why male spouses of doctors need their own space
    • Chris’s emotional turning point, and the conversation that changed everything
    • The unspoken rules in medicine that quietly punish anyone who colors outside the lines
    • The cultural gaslighting of residents: ‘if you can’t deal with it, change your choices’
    • How Hannah protected herself during pregnancy without asking permission
    • Why 70% of what happens in medicine would get you fired anywhere else
    • You don’t need to leave your personal life at the door, and why integration makes doctors better
    • The difference between transactional and relational medicine
    • Their personal non-negotiables and how you can start defining your own
    • Learning to say “no” with intention, knowing it will get easier every time

    Key Takeaways:

    • “You're not alone.” Whether you’re getting married, raising kids, or prioritizing your health, there’s no one right way to do medicine.
    • Define your non-negotiables. What do you need (relationally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) to feel whole? Those are your anchors.
    • You don’t need permission. From scheduling OB visits while pregnant to creating boundaries, advocacy doesn’t require approval.
    • Toxic appreciation is real. Gratitude shouldn’t be used to normalize exhaustion or mistreatment.
    • Say no, and mean it. If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no. Protecting your time and energy isn’t selfish; it’s essential.
