Surgeons, I want to hear your stories.

If you’ve ever thought, "I can’t believe this is happening" or "This isn’t what I signed up for," you’re in the right place.

Residency. Med school. Practice.
Behind the "you should be grateful" culture of medicine, there’s a silent epidemic of trauma — moments that shaped you, hurt you, or left you questioning your place in this profession you love.

I believe these stories matter.
And I believe that bringing them into the light — even anonymously — is part of reclaiming our humanity as surgeons.

If you’re willing, I’d love for you to share your story with me.
It will be completely anonymous.

Some stories will be featured (anonymously) in upcoming posts and discussions, paired with compassionate coaching on what I would offer you if you were my client.

Because the truth is:

  • Your pain isn’t proof that you’re broken — it’s proof that you’re human.

  • You don't have to suffer alone.

  • There’s a different way to be a surgeon — one that honors your humanity without sacrificing your purpose.

Use the form below to share your story.
No shame. No judgment. Just truth — and the first step toward healing.

Trauma and Surgeons

Why We’re Hurting — and How We Heal

You didn’t imagine it.
The pressure. The betrayals. The impossible expectations.
The moments that broke something inside of you and made you wonder if you even belong in medicine anymore.

You’re not crazy. And you’re not alone.

In this free webinar, we’ll talk about:

  • How the culture of medicine sets surgeons up for trauma — and how it’s not your fault.

  • The silent ways trauma shows up in your daily life (fatigue, resentment, perfectionism, disconnection).

  • Why traditional coping strategies (like working harder or pretending you’re fine) only make it worse.

  • The first steps to healing — without quitting your career or abandoning your dreams.

This isn’t just about surviving.
It’s about building a life and a practice that actually feel good to live inside.

If you love being a surgeon but hate how it’s been feeling lately, this conversation is for you.
It’s time to tell the truth — and start healing.
