From Burnout to Renewal: Tools, Stories, and Pathways Forward
I work with healthcare professionals and caregivers navigating the weight of burnout, grief, and the relentless pace of care. Through storytelling, workshops, writing, and speaking engagements, I help them recognize burnout for what it is, reclaim their resilience, and rediscover the meaning that drew them to this work in the first place.
Burnout isn’t weakness — it’s a signal that something must change.
Resilience grows when we tell the truth, share our stories, and find community.
Healing is not a return to who we were, but a movement toward who we can become.
Even after exhaustion, trauma, or loss, there is always a path forward.

A Life in Medicine. A Voice for Resilience. A Guide for What Comes Next.
After more than three decades in intensive care and surgery, I’ve seen both the cost of burnout and the possibility of renewal. My passion is helping clinicians and caregivers face the truth of their exhaustion, process its weight, and rise with courage and grace into a more sustainable way of living and working.
When we share our stories, we can help each other.
