Hello Doctor Humans,

In today’s episode, we dive deep into one of the most universal struggles we face as doctors: making big life and career decisions when there is no “right” answer. With medicine training us to follow the steps, tick the boxes, and please the people in authority, it’s no wonder we end up overwhelmed when our careers suddenly open into a world of infinite options.

Today, we’re unpacking why so many of us feel stuck, how to stop outsourcing our decisions to external validation, and the powerful tools that help you reconnect with your intuition, your values, and your true north.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why so many doctors feel overwhelmed by endless career options.
• The hidden cost of validation-based decisions.
• Why intuition is a skill you can build.
• How relying on others for answers holds you back.
• How expectations can disconnect you from your true north.
• Why tolerating uncertainty changes everything.
• How to use advice without letting it override your voice.
• What future-visualization tool to use to clarify your next step.

We hope you find this episode helpful and if so, be sure to share with a friend who needs to hear this message too.

Hello Doctor Humans 💛

This is Part 2 of last week’s conversation — but this episode isn’t really about picking a word for the year.

It’s about something deeper.

Why is it so hard to be yourself as a doctor?

Why does visibility feel uncomfortable?

And when did humility quietly turn into hiding?

In this episode, we unpack how clinician conditioning shapes the way we see ourselves — and how even the most caring, capable doctors can end up turning their volume down without realising it.

Using our 2026 words as a lens, we explore why real growth doesn’t feel neat or motivating — it feels uncomfortable, exposing, and sometimes downright scary. And why that discomfort is often the clearest sign you’re moving in the right direction.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why being “fully yourself” can feel unsafe in medicine
• How humility can quietly become a way of shrinking
• Why goals often trigger resistance before results
• What it really means to stop judging yourself (and others)
• Why visibility and self-recognition are deeply uncomfortable — and deeply necessary
• How choosing a word can act as a compass back to who you actually are

If last week helped you choose a word, this week is about understanding why that word might feel hard to say out loud — and why that’s the point.

If you’ve already chosen a word for 2026, we’d love to hear it. And if you haven’t, let this be your permission to slow down, reflect, and choose a word that doesn’t just sound nice — but asks you to show up more fully in your own life.

Hello Doctor Humans,

Welcome to 2026 with us, Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc!

Today we’re sharing a simple but powerful tradition that completely shifted our 2025: choosing one word to anchor the year. Not goals, not resolutions — an identity. A compass we carry into every consult, every boundary, every decision. This episode is for every doctor who wants to thrive without burning out, invest in what truly matters, and step into the next version of themselves with intention and courage.

In this episode, we explore:

• One “Word for the Year” works as a compass and filter for decisions and boundaries
• Our 2025 words (like intentionality, impact, discernment, double down) shaped our identity, behavior, and clinic energy
• The word should represent a stretch or transformation, not safety or convenience
• Accountability hack: share your word publicly so your community holds you to it
• Use your word on a vision board or environment reminders for effortless reinforcement
• Reflect first: Ask yourself what aligned, what didn’t, what keeps knocking on your mind

If we’re honest, 2025 was incredible because we were intentional — and 2026 will be even bigger, braver, and more aligned.

We’d love to hear your reflections — What word are you choosing for 2026? Drop it in the comments, tag us, or share a story where truth-telling or intentional decisions changed your clinic or life.
