In this episode of Beyond Podcast, I speak with Dr. Laura Vater about the essential yet often overlooked need for self-care and mental health support, especially among women in medicine.

We dive into the reality of burnout, the systemic changes healthcare requires, and the transformative power of sharing personal stories to reduce stigma.

Laura shares her journey and emphasizes the power of "doing less"—encouraging us all to embrace delegation and the importance of building supportive networks. We discuss the pressures of navigating healthcare as women, the heightened risk of burnout, and how perfectionism and imposter syndrome can compound these challenges.

Our conversation also touches on the ethical implications of sleep deprivation in medical training and how some programs are slowly evolving to prioritize resident well-being. Laura describes positive changes, like peer support groups, opt-out counseling, and better staffing to reduce overnight call burdens, which signal a shift in medical education.

Throughout, we explore how medical professionals can reclaim individuality and curiosity in their careers, as well as the power of social media to foster connection within this demanding field.

Today I continue sharing my infertility journey with you, friends. It’s the raw and unfiltered realities of this chapter of our lives. I am taking you through the ups and downs of IVF treatments, the emotional and physical hurdles, the heavy weight of societal expectations, and the sting of unsolicited advice. But my story doesn’t stop at the struggles.

I am sharing with you the powerful transformation from feeling helpless to finding strength within, learning to let go of the things I couldn't control and shifting my perspective from one of “failure” to resilience and empowerment.

Through this episode, I want to speak anyone who has endured infertility, reminding you that it’s okay to grieve and acknowledge the pain—those lows really do suck, and it’s valid to feel that deeply. But I also want to offer a gentle encouragement: you are not failing. Life can be so hard, and infertility can feel downright relentless, but each step, each attempt, is a testament to your courage.

In sharing what I’ve let go of, I hopes my journey can bring a bit of solace, and maybe even a moment to breathe for those on this path.
