Brief BTS episode drop! In this heartfelt, off-the-cuff moment, Tracy reads and reflects on two memos: the one we were silently handed when we entered medicine—and the one we’re rewriting together.
The original memo told us to sacrifice ourselves, ignore our needs, and equate burnout with devotion. But what if we could write a new one?
This isn’t just about rewriting words. It’s about rewriting the expectations, boundaries, and identity of what it means to be a provider and a whole human.
📌 If you’ve ever felt like medicine asked too much and gave too little… this one’s for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The “Original Memo” most clinicians were handed
The powerful, updated “New Memo” centered on humanity and sustainability
A call to rewrite your own story in medicine—with boundaries, joy, and peace
✨ You are not a machine. You are a person first. Provider second.
